Oh, honey, no. You don't understand. Nobody cares that much.
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.
I love how this is treated as a gift, this "Claude whispering". It's no different than commissioning art. Hell, _I've_ commissioned art! Was I [$ARTIST] whispering?
Wait, no. I actually PAID the artists. There's the difference.
When there was a debate about whether the leather folx belonged in Pride parades, someone told me that my belief that this was just the first step to banning drag queens or mankinis or whatever was just a slippery slope argument.
But that IS the fascist tactic. Start with low hanging fruit...
Sports are a foot in the door, intentionally so by the anti-trans organizations that push it. They know that if they can get you to accept an asterisk on who we are in one arena, they can get you to accept it everywhere.
My girlfriend and I have been playing this "together" and comparing notes, swapping techniques, watching reels and videos about it... so goddamned wonderful!
And of course the Twitch dudes losing their minds over fabric and patterns and...
The company that "recreated" "dire wolves" is now looking to engineer war dogs for the military. Because fuck puppies, am I right, people?? WHO'S WITH ME?!?
*NEW* Colossal Biosciences’ Ben Lamm and Anduril’s Palmer Luckey team up on a new startup to genetically engineer war dogs for the military. Warhound comes out of stealth at $1.2B valuation

It really knocks you on your ass when you realize the problem is that the fascists are largely made up of a bunch of grown men in arrested development who spend their adult lives playing pretend and making everyone miserable as they LARP through the world.
Doctors and nurses are voicing their objections. I-638 would require EVERY girl who wants to participate in sports to go through biological sex verification. That means expensive, invasive, and utterly gross examinations.
Protect our kids and let them play.
Vote NO on I-638
I've been playing Dressmaker and I have to get this off my chest.
PRUDENCE, YOU INSUFFERABLE LITTLE FERRET!!!!
[Yes, I have finished the concert storyline. Why do you ask?]
I’m never donating to another candidate again unless they assure me, in writing, that my data will never be sold. Good candidates who make and uphold that pledge would make a windfall. ActBlue? NEVER AGAIN.
I really don’t think we’re adequately prepared for the level of flailing and infighting we’re going to see if Dems do as well as we think they might on Nov 3
It me. I am "the fans".
They should go do a show that makes me feel like I'm a teenager again.
But no teens, they're too dramatic. Make it for adults, but no cussing.
And no agendas! Bury the message deep enough that I can pretend I'm not who it's for.
The French trashed the McDonalds, looted the Apple Store and Luis Vuitton's hand bags.
All run by global billionaires.
But they left the French Chicken shop untouched.
"If you have a problem with Shane Gillis's joke..."
The 'joke' is just the tip of the iceberg and there's a straight line from his set to Cornell. It's all about normalizing abhorrent behavior for an audience of confused/angry young men looking to be told they're right to be confused/angry.
On X, users have circulated nonconsenual AI videos created by Grok of a woman they think is Jane Doe. They continue to spread her name.
People have praised X for staying relevant for AI and tech conversation. But it also is the main vector for a doxing.
That is X.

George Carlin already covered this talking about Andrew Dice Clay in 1990 and nothing has changed for the better.
So... howzabout we evolve?

Octopus is the easiest thing to cut out of your diet on moral grounds because it’s basically never around, probably has dreams and emotions and tastes like a tire.
Drone photographer Theresa Graham (tgraham.photography on IG) captured this Ornate Eagle Ray (Aetomylaeus vespertilio) off Ningaloo Reef in Western Australia.
These rays are called the "unicorn of the sea": fewer than 100 sighting have been documented.
We suspect they're critically endangered.
Trump: "You have Mohammed, Mohammed, Mohammed, Mohammed, Mohammed. Everybody is basically. If you're in doubt about somebody's name from the Middle East, just say 'Mohammed.' You have about a 65% chance."
Will just remind everyone that in 2015 (as I outline in my book), NBCU said it was cutting all ties w Trump due to his racist statements etc. That fall, he hosted SNL, in a notably toothless & very bad episode. Just one of many yikes NBC-Trump facts I noted a decade ago: variety.com/2016/tv/colu...
I’ve seen maybe a season and a half’s worth of episodes total, but I can tell you that at least once an episode I do yell “SHUT UP PAUL HOLLYWOOD I’VE SEEN WHAT YOU THINK A TACO IS.”
the biggest reason republicans are eating shit in every single debate is that their president is terrible and his policies are terrible and there’s no way to defend any of it that comes across in a credible manner
and it couldn’t be happening to a more deserving group of candidates
I really wonder how many Shane Gillis fans insisting that his ticket sales are some kind of basis for quality would say the same thing about the Twilight series.
Peak BlueSky: spending Indigenous People’s Day reading a Reacher novel, listening to music by William Barton, an Aboriginal Australian’s classical composer in my cafe because the museum is closed.
