Bill Maher said “fuck you” and called us bitches for being upset he dined with Trump. Then Trump tore into Maher on Truth Social calling him a lying, losery coward. That’s funny to me.

Prediction is a weak and helpless activity, the obsession of people who don't think they can change anything. It's the superstitious dread that gives rise to astrology. Far better to be a Luddite who asserts that there is more than one way to introduce a technology to a society.

Or do we let the stupidest, worst people among us lead us into the ecofascism of border walls, drone warfare, and exterminationism? That's our choice. We've had generations of being told to "vote with our wallets" instead of organizing in political, labor and social movements.

If the real priority was actually protecting girls from actual men who pose a risk to them in sports, it would make much more sense to advocate for banning male coaches and male doctors. And I’ve never, ever ever heard that suggestion, because that’s not really what this is about.

The biggest lie of capitalism is that it is efficient and justly rewards people for their labor and efforts

found out that my mother in law decided she was aggressively pro trans rights literally by going, I don't know anything about this but everyone who is against trans rights is also against free school lunch, the issue I know and care a lot about, so this must be the correct way to feel about this

my ex hooked up with him in college, so i can say authoritatively: he refuses to eat pussy

Please note: I am not asking for advice and don't want you to give it in this post. It is EXTREMELY FUCKED that everything you pay thousands of dollars for spends time trying to get you to upgrade and there is no way to stop it.

obviously many more important takeaways from the French approach to protest, but much respect to the absolute varsity level Whimsy of throwing a whole ass piano at the cops

For you youngs who weren't alive for this: Understand that the Chicks were an early rollout of the far right intimidation that we see targeting judges, members of Congress, and ICE protestors now.

This chain is a regional treasure. IYKYK

7. The goal is to make people afraid to show up. So we show up. Naturalized citizens, your vote counts just as much as mine. If early voting is open where you live, bank your vote and bring somebody with you. If you're scared to go, holler. You won't be alone.

Anthropic banning “abusive or cruel behavior” toward Claude in its new usage policies is proof to me that tech companies are going to moderate violence against AI before they ever moderate violence against women and minorities

I’m looking at the Polar seltzer flavor Unicorn Kisses and suddenly wondering if they’re like Glasgow Kisses.

Sweetwine is now mostly forgotten but shouldn't be. She was a pioneer. A hero. She would rise to be a USAF major, serve in Korea and Vietnam, but leave frustration at the discrimination that prevented her climbing higher. Abbie Sweetwine died at 87. She is buried in Arlington National Cemetery /END

Go back and watch the video of the aftermath I posted at the beginning. At about 1min11sec you'll see Weiderman's team. And you'll see Abbie Sweetwine. Sweetwine wasn't just a Floridian. She was African-American /19

On 8th Oct 1952 the worst civilian rail disaster in UK history happened in London. 112 deaths. 340 wounded. That accident, and the actions of one woman from Florida have saved THOUSANDS of lives since. That disaster helped lead to the creation of paramedics. /1 🧵 www.youtube.com/watch?v=YU60...

TIL Heston Blumenthal used the microwave to cook onions for a garnish.

Me: I should really use this pepper. It looks like a habanero but the CSA guy said he thought he was told it was some pimento variant. Mmmm that’s very tasty….wait….I know that flavor… <heat kicks in> Ow.

“Cities hold a lot of people other places have already failed.”

For years the pitch against renewables was "sure, but can they be dispatchable?" India's grid operator just found 16+ companies willing to bid solar+storage to reach coal-plant reliability (90% demand fulfilment, 15-min compliance) at a cheaper price than new coal.
