it's really, really fucking infuriating to be ruled by public officials so unbelievably, unfathomably, stupidly fucking racist such that you can't really finish your thoughts on the matter out loud because they are in fact public officials

What a great soul.  Tom played so many iconic characters throughout his life, and he was generous to the people and causes he cared about, including the arts, veterans, and the environment. How lucky were we to have Tom and Julie in the Northwest. He will be missed.

I see we're having a debate about whether it's okay to go back to "X," the site owned by a trillionaire fascist who is currently bankrolling the GOP's midterm, throttled Ukraine's war effort, and still winkingly allows vast amounts of CSAM on his service Answer: No, what the fuck is wrong with you

Just found out it's National Coming Out Day. Amazing how that wasn't a press release from the White House. Happy National Coming Out Day to my brave brothers and sisters. And to those who will eventually come out. You have a safe place in my corner of the world.

Everyone has a strong opinion regarding capital punishment. No matter where you sit on the spectrum, this is an abomination.

I posted this last week without comment, but I'm going to comment now. The people who established the system of museums in the West had a very specific reason for doing so: they thought that having an appreciation for the wonders of the world was absolutely necessary for being a good citizen.

I must say that I went with an Nvidia card instead of an AMD when I bought my gaming rig a couple of years ago. If I can ever afford another one (big "if" at this point), I will certainly go with an AMD, BASED SOLELY on the complete odiousness of Jensen Huang. He is for sure one of the bad guys.

Ezra Klein asked Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang about AI making kids worse at math and reading. Huang’s reply: “Does it matter?” Then he said he doesn’t know his own address or phone number. “We’re going to lose some fine intellectual dexterity.” www.nytimes.com/2026/09/23/o...

Remember that even though the vaccine is not sterilizing it does lessen the severity in the acute stage and also lessens the chances you get long covid symptoms and damage that can last for months, years, or even be permanent.
