Every time a Democrat mentions how to talk to "ordinary people" they mean "how I was told to talk by a handful of weirdo consultants in DC with gross fixations on throwing certain groups under the bus and who would not last a day in an ordinary job interacting with ordinary people."

PANEL 1: MATTIE at a bar. Next to her, a GUY is looking up at the tv. MATTIE: Watching the game? GUY: Yeah! I've got a 12-way parlay, a couple of props, and of course the straight moneyline. PANEL 2: MATTIE, talking to SOMEONE ELSE. The TV GUY is now in the background. MATTIE: Woof. That's a lot of betting. He should maybe get some help. GUY 2: What? Sorry, I was placing my bet on the two rats over there fighting each other. PANEL 3: MATTIE talking to A THIRD GUY, peering over at the SECOND GUY in the corner betting on rats. MATTIE: Am I the only person not gambling constantly now? GUY 3: Shh! We've got a bet on what that guy is going to bet on next. PANEL 4: MATTIE falls to her knees. In the close foreground, a FOURTH AND FIFTH GUY converse. MATTIE: YAGGHHH!!! GUY 4: Told you she'd lose it. Pay up.

If you missed it over the weekend, I had a nice chat with @doomgolly.bsky.social for @thetonearm.com about 20 years of the band, the new album and how things have changed over two decades of doing this stupid band: www.thetonearm.com/the-patient-...
harsh but fair
“Why aren’t college students protesting” stories are almost always wrong (they are protesting), omit crucial context (they were brutally punished for protesting before), and somehow suggest that 19 yr olds have more moral responsibility than elected officials three times their age
See how that works? The whole article was garbage because it asserts falsehoods, offers bullshit justifications, and slurped up conspiratorial nonsense as if it wasn't poisonous lies. You need to unlearn the bullshit.
You can't cure someone who's poisoned if they insist on drinking more poison.

In Korea, when the president declared martial law after midnight and erected barricades in Seoul, congressional reps from all parties ran into the streets, yanked ak47s from the army at the barricades, broke down the locked door to Congress, repealed the martial law order, and arrested the president
this is EVERYTHING.
I remember the many tech bros who told me this would go away as the tech got better. And called me an idiot for saying this is clearly just how the software operates on a fundamental level.
relieved for that specific dev & his family if they do indeed follow through, but the only "solve" for this is universal healthcare not tied to employment or maybe laws against layoffs when a company is making profit. that's it.
also they know that btw so let this radicalize you

There is no amount of failure or success that will warrant reasonable job security in this industry. The human cost of making games or frankly being a creative of any industry in this hellscape is obscene. More blood on the altar for shareholders. Love it.
Butlerian Jihad now
As of now, DLSS 5 is confirmed to:
• Not read asset/geometry data from the game engine.
• Not account for in-game info, texture data, etc.
• Limit output control for devs, with only colour grading, intensity, masking.
It's a frame-by-frame AI filter, and not much else.
Generative AI has led to entirely new paradigms and unprecedented accelerations in the fields of fucking yourself over in public in the most embarrassing and humiliating way possible
I’ve blocked out entire cinematics by fucking around in a parking garage and recording it on my phone
EVERY SINGLE PART of a lily is toxic!
Petals, leaves, pollen, the water in the vase.
You can celebrate someone other ways besides killing their cat.
I worked as a vet tech for 10 years. Let me assure you, you don't want to see your cat go through this nightmare.
Thank you for your service, Professor

Fun fact, airports receive most of their nutrients from the arriving airplanes. They extend their feeding tubes or "jetways" and extract the plane milk directly from the airplane's gills.
Hieroglyphics with translation texts below them that reads I made my body evolve through my own effectiveness. I am the one who made me. I built myself as I wished, according to my heart.

We need better Democrats.
Not a single dollar more for Trump’s illegal war.
If you're not specifically researching Nazis and hate movements, you really need to stop posting on X.
In particular, no D politician or progressive group should be on X now. Get the hell off. You endanger the people who come to see your posts there AND you expose yourself to Nazi propaganda.
huge fan of block early block often
ACAB definitely means the fun police too
I have yet to see a photo of RFK Jr where he doesn’t look like an SFX shot from a low budget 80s sci fi about evil worms animating corpses.
