I know there's a lot going on but I feel it should probably be more of an above-the-fold story that members of Congress released a thoroughly documented report directly accusing the president of the United States of being a serial rapist.

can someone make a pic that's those african guys carrying the coffin but instead of a coffin it's a hospital bed

The beginning of the Acknowledgements at the end of a TJ Klune novel are based as hell.

scientists say nobody has ever been sleepier than this

gamers are so stupid but honestly the industry and community have cultivated this idiocy for ages so it's not really surprising so many of them can paradoxically see a franchise as more worthy of rescue than the people who made it.

I live in a downtown area of São Paulo so I see every march and every protest up close and they had more people on Avenida Paulista two weeks ago than I have ever seen. And then they did that again yesterday. *Right now,* spontaneously, just celebrating, there's a huge crowd.

Genuinely I don't know that it comes across to people who haven't been here to watch how almost unbelievable this was, just people taking something that looked impossible and dragging it kicking and screaming all the way to inevitability.

Lula Goes HARD

Me and the fellas were about to get together and select one of three potential starting weapons, each with their own unique strengths and weaknesses.

don't vote for me or my son ever again

WE DID IT. I CANT FUCKING BELIEVED WE DEFEATED USA WE DEFEATED A COUP WE DEFEATED META WE DEFEATED EVERYONE WHO TRIED TO SILENCE BRAZILIA PEOPLE LULA WON GUYS. THE PEOPLE WON.

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.

Reports are saying Jair Bolsonaro had already purchased a customized matching hospital bed for his beloved son Flavio to spend election night in alongside him. “It works both ways. Victory or defeat. Either way, I know where I want to be.”

When a politician pledges to use their power over the lives of others to hurt their own constituents, it should be treated as the threat to their lives and well being that it is. Handwaving that as "stopping Nazis" while embracing their policies is sick in the head. bsky.app/profile/nich...

the thing about human rights is there’s never a good enough reason to take them away from anyone

Bolsonaro-friendly mayors appear to be sabotaging public transport on Election Day. Buses aren’t running in Lula-friendly areas, flights and ferries mysteriously canceled. Traffic lights have gone out and people’s power cut in Salvador, indigenous people’s travel restricted

I haven’t slept a full night in three weeks ahead of the polls opening in Brazil today. I might be shouting into a void here, but if you can spare a few seconds to send good energy towards our elections today and for the largest country in South America to beat fascism, please do so. 🇧🇷

How it feels right now

a UK food delivery service experimented with AI-generated images for restaurant menu items that lacked pictures. they stopped when customers reported seeing some unusual new dishes. a tiger-prawn dish became a bowl containing actual tiger cubs. friends, i think the tech may not be ready.

i was too hot, so i turned up the heat by 5 degrees. i could have turned it up by 10, you see, so i am cooler now, relative to if i had done that

even abstracted into hypothetical maths this doesn't make any sense. picking the lesser evil still makes things more evil, just by a lesser amount

Happy 1st anniversary to the comeback of the Bored Ape Yacht Club as a metaverse !

When you find out that they define a "view" as like "was displayed on the screen of an internet connected device for at least 0.3 seconds" then suddenly all the bragging and fretting and complaining about view counts becomes much less serious

I think people intuitively understand that democratic candidates tossing trans kids to the wolves is not only morally repugnant but also politically ineffective, otherwise they wouldn't freak out every time someone said they weren't voting for a democrat who did this

Sweeney tries to make out he's saying this in defence of the beleaguered indie devs who want to use AI, but remember that his company laid off 1000 people earlier this year before pivoting to AI. He's taking this stance for one reason: he loves money

When the Space Marines are too woke for you I just feel like you gotta go home, man. There's gotta be a point where you chill.

seems like "on the orders of a nazi every major news outlet on the planet hounded an innocent man to death because he's black" should be one of the biggest stories of the year

We've uncovered that this group of people, funded by a foreign country, are, in conjunction with previously convicted terrorist groups, organising killings, paid protest agitation, and masked rioting across the UK. But they do have some legitimate concerns, so,

You have to laugh at the sheer insanity of Turning Point UK being found to be organising literal contract killings and paid agitation at protests up and down the country and it barely even raises a flicker across the press. If that isn't 'terrorism' on some level I don't really know what is
