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.

The bigger question is how Musk can hold a security clearance or oversee the operations of a company with supersensitive and classified government contracts. Several FBI agents bluntly asked that question. They all got fired or reassigned and their supervisors were unable to answer their questions.

Straight dating culture is so weird man Straight women will be like "I couldn't date a man with a girl best friend" ???? Are bisexuals just not supposed to have friends then? Imagine if gay people followed this and couldn't be friends with other gay people of their gender when in a relationship

“We’re making it so Robert Lee could have seen a victory arch instead of having to look at a monument to the President who defeated his rebellion” Hamfisted allegory time continues

And shows how Trump's arch would change the view of the Lincoln Memorial from Arlington House (the Custis-Lee Mansion). 3/3

Thinking about when I was telling MFers to learn to fucking use emulators and some rando popped up like "But... that's illegal.." and I was like "So is speeding but we all do it sometimes" to which they replied "I WOULD NEVER, THAT'S A CRIME!" and like yeah, a space alien.

I weirdly have a post that's doing numbers, so while I have your attention, please consider following this list of journalists that the Alt National Park Service has plagiarized. They've done the work, and deserve the credit.

Once mass spam texts were made legal, younger donors vanished, leaving a grassroots fundraising machine that subsists on squeezing vulnerable seniors, some of whom give hundreds of times a day. It’s a horrific model. Consultants get generationally wealthy, and the party hollows out its future.

Jake Grumbach@jakemgrumbach.bsky.social

We found that as of right now 73% of your campaign donation goes back to the consultants and vendors (!!!), four times more than just 20 years ago. Only 13% to ads. Even I was shocked.

AOC: "As AI begins to encroach in our society, their goal is to take your cognition away from you. AI's goal is to take your thoughts away from you, your ability to think away from you, so that you become dependent on a machine ... reading books is active resistance"

I have been meaning to write about this for a month or so now but it breaks my heart. AI has infected every hobby. Everything is noise. It's hurting existing communities and trudging through the slop is exhausting.

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...

theatlantic.comThe Man Who Saved the Internet YesterdayOndřej Surý was a relatively anonymous volunteer working on PHP security. Then the internet exploded.

"don't go out of your way to keep reading this one specific children's book" is such a low-lift ask that, if trans folks can't even expect that of you, then they have no reason to believe you'll show up when something harder needs to be done

adonis (and cait)@cait.bsky.social

look, "buying used copies to read to my children" is nice, in theory. but if you're willing to put your blinders on to purchase a terrible book series for your children, we both know you're not going to stop there. in 3 months they'll be watching the show and in 6 they'll be at Harry Potter Land.

Every Go Nagai mecha protagonist (except for spiders tetsuya) was him trying to create a positive male role model who was kind, gentle, and in touch with his emotions, so all of them in modernity being typecast as hot blooded manly men is one of the most infuriating things to see ever lol

The thing about guys like Axelrod and Carville and the whole army of dillrod consultants like them is that if a real-life, genuinely effective leader shows up, their business model is shot

‘Not an Appealing Quality!’ Democrats on CNN Panel Rip Abdul El-Sayed Over ‘Cockiness’ The same pundits who tell female candidates to "smile more" now tell the Muslim Senate candidate to be more respectful to the white bigot who smears them with lies. #STFU www.mediaite.com/media/news/n...

MIB: The Series is one of the all-time champions of this. Sinister, gross, darkly humorous…and that kickin’ opening theme.

In retrospect, "animated series based on live action movies" was a load bearing sub-genre of cartoons. Even if they weren't good, studios greenlighting 52 episode show orders of stuff like this meant a healthier industry.
