well what’s the DSL for…

CITIZEN, PLEASE STATE GENDER. FAILURE TO OBEY ACTIVATES DESTRUCTION PROTOCOL. YOU HAVE TWO DAYS TO COMPLY.

God damnit chill FedEx, it’s a T-shirt.

i loathe any sort of "leftist" politic based on emotionality and moralism so much. it's reactionary sorry. ppl justify the terrible things they do via emotionality and moralism.

Yesterday @reified-systems.itch.io pointed out that Basil's face from this Fawlty Towers VHS collection is nearly exactly The Expression from Disco Elysium, and my mind is blown.

I genuinely think this may be the original inspiration! So many details match up

Now, let me tell you why - my view, why we don't have peace. Because the fact of the matter is that too many Palestinians and too many Arabs do not want any Jewish state in the Middle East. The view of Palestinians is simple, the Europeans treated the Jews badly culminating in the Holocaust and they gave them our land as compensation. Of course, we say it's our land, the Torah says it, but they don't believe in the Torah. So that's the reason there is not peace. They invent other reasons, but they do not believe in a Jewish state and that is why we, in America, must stand strong with Israel through thick and thin. We must, because that is the reason, not any of these other false shibboleths why there is not peace in the Middle East.

Here's what Schumer actually says in that video that's going around. Again, it's bad enough as is without inventing quotes. web.archive.org/web/20190319...

Joanne closed her helpline for single parents right around when she announced she'd be donating heavily to anti-trans causes. They closed because of lack of funding.

She's a billionaire.

She doesn't care about "single mums".

how dare a bunch of trannies and their inconvenient “medical needs” get in the way of our fantasies about the Woke Pope

way too many of y’all suffer from terminal hindsight bias, nostalgia chasing, and rosy retrospection… your desires to “make the internet great again” are not only misguided but dangerous too — conservatism is creeping in to peoples’ psyches at an alarming rate

Guys we need communism

it's cool that the one thing both of them agree on is that transgender people should be denied healthcare. both those ghouls can go to hell

this is just adopt don’t shop for computers huh.

there’s this youtuber who made a tiny ereader you can carry around and stuff. and that’s a neat enough project but now i’m back on my homebrew for old cellphones kick. what if that single purpose device was ewaste *turned into* a single purpose device

Hosting a WebSite on a Disposable Vape Someone's trash is another person's web server.

thinking about ewaste. we should not be manufacturing and then trashing enough compute to make this project possible bogdanthegeek.github.io/blog/project...

Newsrooms should not block the Internet Archive. Any public service publisher should not block the Internet Archive. If anything, we should all be directly supporting the Internet Archive.

the unfortunate thing about taking an essential stance against image gen is that you end up reproducing the ideas that lead to granular per-pounding of art in analogue. you can't wash an idea's lineage, but touching an idea doesn't stain your hands, and material issues beg for materialist stances

I think "I didn't know this was ai, but out of an opposition to its source, I won't share the image" is a fully workable worldview and one that I often find myself playing adjacent to. redrawing something to wash the provenance off just feels like its own kind of magical thinking at best

really funny to me that the democrats always have 1-3 guys on hand to make sure the democrats can put up the performance of resistance while still ultimately getting the government to pass what the combined democratic-republican party ultimately wants

TurboTax and H&R Block spent $7 million lobbying the Trump administration to kill Direct File.

Both companies donated to Trump's 2024 campaign and inauguration committees.

i think we should all do everything in our power to completely destroy the reputation of kiwifarms. if someone cites kiwifarms or repeats information you know is from one of their harassment campaigns you need to yell in their face that the website harasses people to suicide

i don’t think as communists we should be upholding the idea “you need my permission to use my intellectual property”. frankly it’s a misuse of consent language.

imo the ideal video game should first and foremost be a dark pattern casino hell trap facilitating an upward wealth transfer from a struggling and economically depressed proletariat audience

“the northernlion supercruise” is the most obvious setup for a danganronpa style killing game i’ve ever seen

i need a better touchstone than “the slavoj žižek dildo in a fleshlight bit” for stuff like lrt. unfortunately few things capture that feeling nearly as well

Why visit the website at all? Just let Gemini prompt itself, then you can go for a walk or write some poetry or whatever you like to do

Important reminder that the Catholic Church is inflicting direct harm to trans people by ceasing to prescribe all forms of transgender healthcare including HRT to adults at Catholic owned health facilities, which includes 20% of hospitals in the US.

You do not, in fact, gotta hand it to the pope.

When playing certain games, you gotta ask yourself

Am I enjoying this or am I making ice cubes?

You deserve better than ice cubes.

women were kept out of meetings and career opportunities at Pixar because John Lasseter was so much of a sex pest that people decided it was easier to simply not have them in the room with him

how many talented women didn’t get a fair chance because one guy couldn’t behave himself?
