Lot of people today alluding to multiple things that I have no motivation to research. Something about Brianna Wu. Something, maybe somethings plural, being published by the NYT. That Clayface movie. Etc

Also hell yeah

Heh, I used to walk over this bridge before I had a car because it was a more convenient route on foot than most of the roads

Also that is a shocking amount of water to see in the usually pretty dry creek bed

There’s a moment when studying American history when you realize that with less than a handful of exceptions the Presidency has been filled with criminals, grifters, moral deviants, and
mediocrities, and the fairly recent development of treating the office like a king is a nation-shattering tragedy.

This is amazing

Just logged in for the first time today and one of the first posts I see is vaguely about Brianna Wu so that should be “fun” discovery

This strikes me as another case of “if we make the machine do it, then no one will take blame for mistakes” which seems increasingly common

god i love it so much when crypto bros are like 'hey that OTHER crypto thing, not my thing but another one, is bad and scammy!'

so close to getting it

Going to not do more than one at a time though since there aren’t very many and it’s existentially terrifying

Alright, I have finally begun watching The Amazing Digital Circus

And yeah, I see why it’s been so influential

Oddly, what it kept making me think of was The Prisoner

Oakland's landlords weren't paying their business taxes. Once the City started pursuing what was owed, rental business tax doubled from the previous year, over tripled the year before that. Pretty wild how they are constantly whining at city hall about deadbeat tenants

make sure you choose a password that contains capital letters, numbers, and special symbols so that someday the data broker who purchases your info can go "ooh good password" after your login details are inevitably leaked in a data breach you can do nothing to prevent

a soft looking and somewhat worn felt swan with a big beak and trailing feathers

thinking about this 1500 year old plush swan made of reindeer wool

Pic of Bluesky team-member Why’s profile, showing that the viewer — who is me — has been blocked

Ahahaha, I didn’t think I had enough reach to windup on any lists. I’ll take this badge with honor

That second pic is exactly the look everyone should be giving to RFKjr after every single thing he says out loud. I don’t know what he’s saying, but whatever it is she’s right

Say what you will about her she regularly manifests the only type of appropriate energy for the moment we live in

An illustration of the Fox Theater in Oakland, lit up at night in reds and greens. The signage reads: Comic Con Oakland, May 9-10, Oakland Convention Center.

Ey!
I'm going to be in and around Oakland, May 9-10.
I will have stuff.
If you're in the area, you should come by.

every conservative political complaint comes back to "those people shouldn't count because they disagree with me"

LRP, I also don’t know who that is (except for things I have learned in literally the last 5min)

lmaooo i dont even know who this is

AOC talking to RFK Jr. Her facial and hand gesture has the spiritual energy of that Italian hand gesture where you pinch your fingers and wave your hand (the "ma che vuo" gesture).

how it feels to say "sprezzatura"

"I was ABSOLUTELY told that the Democrats would be bringing knives to the gun fight. What the fuck are they doing bringing guns?" --a whole lot of Republicans looking at the results from Virginia right now

Saw Speed Racer in IMAX (it fucking RULED) and Emile Hirsch came out in costume and presented the movie

and then after it was done, the lights came up and HE WAS SITTING BEHIND CHELSEA AND I THE WHOLE TIME HE SAW US CRY AND CHEER

french tumblr post anonymous: "why is bread masculine but Baguette is feminine....... is the baguette transgender?" translatingpostsingrench: "i will let the community decide: baguette, a trans icon?" yes: 94.6% no: 5.4%

I'm still eternally thinking about this

Remember, Democrats have repeatedly advanced measures to ban partisan gerrymandering and Republicans have voted against them time after time.

This is the game Republicans wanted to play. OK, then.

So much false equivalence in media on gerrymandering in Texas vs California & Virginia. California and Virginia maps approved by the voters. That's a huge difference not enough people pointing out

I get disappointed and disillusioned with “my side” of the political movement on a pretty regular basis, but I’ve been impressed with the willingness (and organization) to do counter-gerrymandering. It’s nice to see some kind of fighting back, and a useful kind at that

Every fucking time!!!!!

The GOP could, of course, propose a national gerrymandering ban in the House tomorrow and it would pass with veto-proof majorities.

So, you know, if they don't like it, there's a solution.

just saw someone call Kash Patel “J Edgar Boozer” and need to lie down
