Not long ago I came across a public park that had a playground with one of the structures from my childhood. I'm 45 years old and tried to climb it. That was a mistake. Folks, you cannot go back.

the washington free beacon is trying to october surprise abdul by revealing his comms chief used to post bangers

It turns out punishing coup plotters actually is an effective deterrent!

perfect, no notes

as heinous as jeffrey epstein's crimes were, i don't think he should have been abused by the president. an eye for an eye makes the whole world blind

during the 2023 WGA strike. a real one.

It's really important to pay attention to the fact that Lula beat the fascist candidate not by compromising and trying to meet fascist voters in the middle, but by sticking to his guns, promising prosecutions for election interference, and mobilising his own voters to turn out in greater numbers.

Not only an incredible talent, but a rare talent who also thought it was funny to just voice random memes every once in a while

(Sorting through piles that I didn’t deal with for literal decades) aha. Well wasn’t I annoyingly prescient.

None of us should forget this. Meta should be subjected to corporate death penalty and permanently broken up into small pieces.

pretty clear evidence that republicans in the US losing any election going forward are going to always beg for a coup if they lose. lots of people will have to go to jail

Brazil’s results tonight are a big endorsement for the idea that every country should have a second “are you you sure about that” election a couple weeks after the first one for the important stuff

Lula winning is great for the planet, great for Brazil, and great for people who aren't revanchist assholes everywhere in the world, but let's not forget that it's also going to make some of the worst people on Earth extremely sad and mad. We should enjoy that, as a little treat.

Wait, wait, hold up a second. I just found out that lemons are not a natural fruit but a deliberately cultivated hybrid between citron and a bitter orange. Guys! Life didn't give us lemons we made them ourselves!

Anti-trans Democrats are spreading poison when we can least afford it, during elections in this ongoing fascist takeover. As a strategy, it’s a recipe for failure. As a moral stand, it’s reprehensible. PS I’m the father of young trans woman and I’ll never forgive anyone who makes her life harder.

Finally made it to Powell’s! So cool to see The Best American Science Fiction and Fantasy 2026 out in the wild! (I swear I’m smiling)

yeh tbh if AI is so great you should be proud of it, you should disclose it everywhere and put a bunch of stickers yourself that you used it for your project showing everyone how cool and cutting edge you are, no? like, it's the future right? you love it right??

Every day, a Weird Little Guy works out. Do you? Molly does.

A motorist has once again failed to pick up the ghost of AuDHD woman on the anniversary of her death, sources have revealed, as she completely forgot she was meant to turn up at all until two days later.

no thomas that's jerry falwell you can't trust him

The abject terror I felt at hearing Shaggy's normal speaking voice

In celebration of both the upcoming All Hallows Eve holiday AND the 10 year anniversary of Jack Chick's passing, we bring to you a tale of murder, betrayal, and adulterated Hershey bars. This is the latest dissection of "The Trick", now live on the Boolean Union website. Happy Halloween, everyone!

You can’t replicate Web 1.0 design. You must code it yourself with rudimentary html, slowly learning how to add cute shit like pixel glitter and a visitor counter.

it's flat fuck friday

Social media prioritizes grabbing your attention quickly without giving you anything in return. That's the post. I just wasted your time and you're welcome.

Well this one just had to be drawn....

70 percent of the internet was vulnerable yesterday to very bad security flaws inside a coding language. Turns out, *one volunteer* is mostly responsible for maintaining that code & helping push updates. Yesterday Ondřej Surý saved the internet. So I called him up www.theatlantic.com/technology/2...

ok but this is actually an appropriate way to honor Bacchus and i think the ancients would have agreed

its very telling that critics in more left leaning spaces are obviously bummed out about corporations destroying the teams that worked on games they were often heavily critical of whereas grifters are reacting to bioware, 343 etc as personal victories in the war against blue hair and pronouns

we cannot co-exist with people like this. we either find a way to excise them, or we let them choke us with their ignorance.
