i think the thing with the pope, and this is true for many people so it's kind of ridiculous to say it about him in particular, is the more progressive and anti-fascist his messaging the more it stings that it doesn't extend to trans people
Link to the ruling. I am not sure I’ve seen a judicial opinion with this many tweet screenshots in it before storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
It's very murky how to disable this so I'll just provide a scorched-earth approach:
1. Disable Gemini Apps Activity: myactivity.google.com/product/gemini
2. Disable ALL activities: myactivity.google.com/activitycont...
3. Disable "Activity-based personalisation": photos.google.com/settings
I consistently repeat to folks that they do not in fact ever *succeed* on their own. Sometimes the assistance is visible, often it is submerged. None of the USian billionaires *succeeded* on their own. In fact, most of them continue to benefit from your money, labor, etc....
Unicef pauses operations in north Gaza Strip after contractors killed The Israeli military killed two Unicef-contracted truck drivers at a water point in the northern Gaza strip, forcing the UN agency to suspend its operations in the area, Unicef said. Two other people were also injured in the attack that occurred at the Mansoura water-filling point in Gaza City, Unicef said in a statement. Unicef said the point is being used multiple times a day to provide hundreds of thousands of people in Gaza City with clean water from the Mekorot water supply line. The agency said it suspended onsite activities until security conditions in the area are restored.
All the people who're extremely upset about Molly Shah or individual Palestinians desperately begging for help insisting that there are ~legitimate~ channels to help people never seem bothered about stuff like this:
NASA and Mamdani are proving that Americans are desperate to see their money spent in ways they feel good about.
This, however, is not the same thing as simply spending the money on things we would feel good about but never know happened. People need to be able to see it.
What a lot of centrist dad types like in the nested quote screenshot mean by "non-violence" is really "non-disruption". They mean a bland A to B match, cordoned off and permit-approved, where no-one does anything challenging or forcing anyone to notice them.
The whole image of Mandela as this icon of nonviolence and moderation is such obvious rose-tinted glasses. His apparent moderation was really only because of the increasing radicalisation of the anti-apartheid movement while he was in prison, which made him a more appealing partner by comparison.
good for both of them. this freak is exactly where he wants to be

Usually when there’s this much disagreement about whether a strait is open or closed, they’re about six months from getting divorced.

Between the "male loneliness" beat and the "passport bro" beat, there sure is a lot of ink being spent on pieces of shit who can't find friends or dates because they're sentient piles of hot wet trash
May your smoke alarms be always working.
May your dog be always happy.
May your fire extinguisher be always accessible.
May your ladder be always on a firm, flat surface.
May your cat be around.
trans women have a biological advantage at being hot now
A metal tag, screwed to a utility pole, with the words "potentially art" embossed into it.
Whoever did this, you rock.
that's amazing. there's a recurring TTS bit where chatters tell increasingly ridiculous stories that always end with being hit by a car, in the hospital, and asking Will for a movie recommendation. Eventually he started saying "Memories of Murder" to any recommendation requests 😂
... are you watching that movie NOT because of the Will Neff chat meme?
sorry to hear you got hit by a car
I've seen similar, but not with the added meta AI layer!
A gray cat, suspended in midair over a bathtub, limbs splayed out, realizes she has made a poor choice.

i once passed out in my bed and couldn’t be woken up when interpol (the band) showed up at the punkhouse i lived in after i had invited them, but, in fairness, i was a call center agent, not the director of the FBI
when i was talking about pain stuff someone suggested ketamine therapy in a way that couched it in like "i know ketamine has a bad reputation because of elon musk" and it just hit me that it's kind of a huge achievement to be so uncool you make ketamine look bad

Headline in today's Guardian that reads "Reading and writing can lower dementia risk by almost 40 percent, study finds. Cognitive health in later life is 'strongly influenced' by lifelong exposure to intellectually stimulating environments, say researchers."
This is why you need to be reading books and writing your own emails, by the way. When you outsource your thinking abilities, you risk turning your brain into soup. Heavy dependence on AI has already been linked with severe cognitive decline. What you don’t use, you will lose.
There’s been another fire!
Someone set fire to the Raytheon building in Warner Robins, Georgia.
Raytheon is one of the world’s biggest arms manufacturers and supplies the US & Israel with their bombs.
The fire is being investigated & the person responsible has not been caught.
Who else remembers Chris Matthews melting down on air when Bernie was winning Nevada in 2020? Saying that the guy who wants to tax millionaires is going to hold executions of the media in central park.
