The problem with Star Wars is that you watch it when you're 11, and your imagination goes wild wondering what else could be out there in this cool sci-fi universe. But then the franchise keeps going and the best thing they could come up with is, you know, the same stuff you've already seen.

Tesla. Disney. CVS Health. United Airlines. PayPal. Billions in profits. $0 in federal corporate income taxes.
That money should be funding schools, healthcare, and public services.
This is why people are mad as hell.

1) llms suck as much as genai

2) if visuals are involved, it genai

"I was at a book club the other day advocating for reading and thinking less. I am very smort."

Also? The fact that people aren’t being reminded of HIV’s early days is partly how we get here.

Before AZT it was just young, healthy men wasting away. No one would touch them. They couldn’t even get dental care. They died alone. That started to wane when antiretrovirals started rolling out.

Let's go! Transphobic laws and practices hurt this ONE person that we don't like! That's means it's good! We're all doing the right thing!!!!!

Look... I know you don't think you're a monster. But if you were one, there would be no difference in your response.

I dont give a fuck if caitlyn jenner is the worst human being on the planet, she is the worst woman on the planet and deadnaming her is transphobic bullshit regardless of her actions. a trans person's gender is not a reward for good behavior that gets withdrawn when they suck

When you say "demanding accountability", you want to punish someone for wrong doing, right?

And oh look! There's a whole tool kit here to insult someone of this situation & identity!

You tell yourself you can use the toolkit, as a treat.

But dude, you put on the uniform. You're the transphobe now

Once again: corporate-approved horny.

Baldur's Gate and The Witcher and Cyberpunk will not be banned on Twitch, while less lascivious indie games are banned from sale. Horny is an increasingly relevant Cultural Trend, and culture must be consolidated into the hands of capital.

that they are freaking out this badly over a surtax on second homes worth more than five million dollars - the most excessive rich person thing imaginable, which doesn’t even affect most of them - really makes it clear how little attention you need to pay to the freak outs

doing less/no harm has to be more important than never being wrong, that's the lesson

The New York Times is now blocking The Wayback Machine from accessing its articles.

That means you'll no longer be able to view archived versions of NYT stories published in 2026 and beyond on archive.org.

(All those posts you see tracking changes to NYT headlines and ledes? They relied on WBM).

She does this with every other loser scam

I think the control is juuust fine. A guaranteed loss and a single scapegoat who isn't rerunning.

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

status.bsky.app: "Some systems down. We are investigating an incident with service in one of our reginos."

"reginos"👩‍🍳🤌

im not saying bsky is vibe coded. its the founders of bluesky that have been saying that. so that isn’t in debate. neither is the fact that it keeps breaking. so the vibe coded site is breaking, those are the undisputed facts

BLUESKY IS A WEBSITE THAT TURNS (post by jay.bsky.team claiming that bluesky is made with AI) INTO (picture of bluesky not working)

How are you going to do that when they don't have anymore outages?

That claude code is getting locked in annnyyyy day now.

The other day Tumblr suspended 200 accounts in the span of 5 minutes and the only reason we know - and Tumblr had to apologize - was because it was specifically 200 trans women

So this tracks

Linda Yaccarino replies to a Zohran Mamdani tweet to say that taxing rich people's penthouses is "actually one of the scariest things I have ever seen"

Zohran Mamdani said he's going to start taxing rich people who buy luxury housing in NYC but don't actually live in there, and the former CEO of Twitter/X called it "actually one of the scariest things I have ever seen."

Who is "we"?

I am the we in #2. But no Democratic nominee is.. so #1 is off the table and definitely NOT me.

AI is pushing a crisis of meaning. What makes graduation meaningful? Sitting in a robe and a silly hat and waiting your turn to get a piece of paper? Or participating in a ritual that signals your membership into a new kind of person?

Too bad so many unis shut down anthropology departments.

we know

And the police reporting even have the nerve to provide cover. "It was part of an ongoing dispute surrounding their divorce." No, there is no excuse for a man shooting his wife & turning the gun on himself after! When men do that it shouldn't be normalized.
