I am reading ‘The Nerd Reich’, a book about technofascism, and it really is fascinating. As observed about Elon; they seem to have no ‘culture’ in terms of art etc. They don’t seem to really love anything, or talk about bright or beautiful or funny things, ever, in terms of their values.

Uh-oh! Turns out Raine's werewolf fears weren't quite so unfounded! Suggested by technic_bot!

told my bud over the weekend i learned to work the deep fryer & took my bike across a busy town street to get my sister from daycare when i was 9 & he was like "that's fucked up" & i thought it was normal 💀💀💀💀

genuinely don't understand boomers. i was a latchkey kid along with many others who grew up in the 80's & 90's it was get your own snack after school clean up after yourself now they can't do anything without ai this ai that

Solar has overtaken nuclear. A decade ago it supplied 1% of the world's power. In 2025 it met three quarters of global demand growth. Almost nobody saw it coming. I spoke to Jocelyn Timperley at BBC Future about why. www.bbc.co.uk/future/artic...

It's hilarious to me how like 80% of furry kinks are just this happening.

You have to really, really, really fucking suck for your 8th grade teacher to come out and shame you like this. Damn.

The far right is international and they all organize together and raise money for each other. I'd argue it's critical to pay attention to elections in other countries.

Just thinking how F91 was supposed to be a show. And I get sad, cause we could have more of Iron Mask being the most worthless pathetic man in existence.

I love being reminded that the audience really doesn’t give a shit about the developers. Like, forget that one of the most influential studios in our industry was just executed by its publisher, just make sure the product continues on the assembly lines!

Our $2M investment in the Sea Cliffs Exhibit Renovation Project has gotten a pretty clear seal of approval.

looked at in longer perspective, it's striking how much this resembles the premodern system of exclusion, rents, and personalist connections, which was--and this part's important--radically worse than the modern system of impersonal rules and general taxation

Made a thing about feeling like you’re “in trouble” as an adult

I have this talk on average four times a week (each time with a new person) so I figure if I screencap it I can just give people the screencap and so can you.

This is the purpose of data centers. Not ChatGPT that yall keep screaming about. Nobody needs 40,000 acres for a search engine The future of mass surveillance & neo-feudalism (where we are headed) depends on the government AND corporations maintaining a permanent underclass using mass surveillance

Its worth knowing that private enterprise labels anything it can't meddle with politically as authoritarianism and anything it cannot control the culture of as a cult and anyone it cannot politically control the activism of or who reads books elitist. Thankfully this is just comedy.

I’m not a political journalist, so was gladly surprised at the community I found here last night. To Americans anxious about the upcoming elections, a key thing we learned in Brazil that might help you: DO NOT engage with the far-right online. Don’t share rage bait. Amplify your people. Ignore them.

A new survey of 1,000 American adults found that the strongest supporters of transgender sports bans are not the people who admire women most: they are the people who hold the most hostile views about women. www.helenwebberley.com/news/transge...

So the women in the first photo were indeed "dressed like witches", because their (now ceremonial) uniform was established around the same era witches were put on trial in New England. The truth is: witches are CREATED out of respectable older women by accusation & this is what they wore.

Here's the same uniform, still in use, in 2007 for ceremonies on "Founder's Day". The cloaks in the black & white image above were also probably the same scarlet. The hats they're wearing are "sugarloaf" hats that were in vogue when it was founded "for 20 spinsters of good character".

This is such a fantastic photo: "The Witches' Tea Party" but I want to use it to explain the origin of the tall, pointy witches hat. The real story of this photo: These are residents at the Hospital of the Holy & Undivided Trinity: an almshouse in Castle Rising, Norfolk, England established 1610.

Out of religious modesty, women wore the "pilgrim hats" properly 'capotains' (which never had buckles), some of which were flat-topped, other sugarloaf. I guess we can't rule out pointy versions, but it's probably a historical misunderstanding. "Witches" were just well-dressed older women.

The Bolsonarists didn't change their minds, they didn't suddenly stop believing that their man could do no wrong and that Lula was an existential threat to Brazil. They were simply outvoted by those who refused to risk a return to fascism, and decided not to sit this election out.

Bolsonaro had corrupt media on his side, Meta interference on his side, US propaganda operations, and his party's officials actively sabotaging public transport in Lula strongholds to prevent turnout. Yet he was still beaten by the power of voter turnout.

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.

WE NEED GROCERIES NOW, WE ARE OUT OF FOOD, PLEASE

Sports is not fair by design. That's the best part of sports. Football would be dull if everyone was the same height, weight, ran the same top speed, and had all the same skills and reaction speeds. The rules just make sure there's a basic foundation and provide limits that can be helpful.

Banning trans kids from sports is fucked up. And you better believe there are terrible people and parents who see "Fairness in youth sports" as a much bigger battlefield that will include girls who are too tall, black kids who are too fast, etc etc

This is bad. And I worry that this idea of what is and isn't fair in youth sports is going to expand beyond trans kids. We'll see more and more "skilled" kids who aren't white be kicked off fields and banned for not playing fair.

This isn't hyperbole or a joke. Parents actually called the cops and got the black boy and his family removed and the league claimed they were trespassing because he was "putting on a show" and wasn't playing "fair."

marine corps boards crossing out their instructions "expel trans marines" and writing in "we keep this trans marine" is, frankly, a great example of what it means that a society is more than just its government

How it feels right now

American conservatives are constantly bemoaning the decline of aesthetic standards and calling for a return to tailored suits and classical Roman architecture, but are now forced to defend the Cheesecake Factory. A constant tension between the Brooks Brothers patrician and the Kid Rock populist.
