I don’t think you’re allowed to brag about how good you are at parallel parking if you have a rear view camera tbh

I understand Pope fatigue (I was confirmed by a child molester) and to an extent it's a Let Them Fight situation but it's genuinely important and different that the Catholic Church, a major geopolitical actor with endless resources dating back millennia, is coming out hard against fascism this time

IT IS NOT ILLEGAL TO HANG OUT IN THE LIBRARY.

the menu/burger image that’s described in the next image

There's something suspiciously needy in all the pleas to "be smarter than AI," to learn how it works, to charge ahead with the hares instead of chilling with the tortoises. It's no brag to say that I am already smarter than AI. So are you, so is everybody, including the insecure people who refuse to live in a world where the mac and cheese they film doesn't look steamy enough. AI can only execute shallow imitations of the humanity we naturally inhabit. Case in point: this little slice of Daisy's advertising dystopia that appears in the interview with Beau. Sure, it pretty much looks like a photo of a menu sitting next to a burger, but at no point in looking at this image am I fooled into thinking it's a real burger or a real menu. What's with the inch-thick slice of cheese on the top half of the bun, where no slice of cheese ever goes? Since when do loaded beef nachos go under the "drink up" section of the menu? What the hell is "blackberry marh"? And perhaps most importantly, if the burger doesn't exist and the menu doesn't exist — if nothing in the picture maps onto reality — then what, exactly, is even being advertised to me?

Al Jazeera Mubasher correspondent in Gaza, Mohammed Washah, was killed after an Israeli drone targeted his vehicle.

I really support going to a protest btw I mean no disrespect. But the saying goes to tear this down we gotta push from every direction. The onus is one YOU to notice and defend those putting real skin in the game to end this war machine. Don't wait til the mass movement arrives. We live here now.

"What can Democrats do?"

When the South Korean president attempted to declare martial law, South Korean lawmakers literally fought through tanks and military forces and climbed fences to get into their Parliament building to stop him.

So, you know, that.

and by funny I mean what the fuck are you talking about

kinda funny how often people refer to their personal use of AI as “maybe the only good use of AI” and their reason is like, making an illustration or a flyer, as if learning a crude-level understanding of a new skill is impossible, and as if THAT would be the justifiable use of the technology

yet another example of everything getting worse for no logical reason

got a new microwave and the door locks on it and you have to like, solve a puzzle to unlock it and idk what was wrong with microwave door technology that we needed to add a lock to it

I really don’t try to be that guy but every day I grow more convinced nobody knows how to exist in public space, most specifically during performances. A guy was checking his sports betting app during the BALLET, it’s so fucking over for you dude you might as well end it now

going to the special movie theater where text flashes at the bottom of the screen that says DO THIS when something i’m supposed to do is happening, and flashes DON’T DO THIS when i’m not

had to call in the big guns (mom) to help me get my new apartment in manageable order

Emmanuel Damas, a Boston resident and asylum seeker from Haiti who entered the United States legally, was killed by ICE. He leaves behind two sons.

I never want to move ever again

Sitting on the floor in silence in my new apartment surrounded by boxes and boxes and boxes of my things trying to remind myself that all this stuff went inside of other stuff and will return there soon enough

Tweet that reads Leo Xander @STALLEON Stop taking social media so serious. Nothing here is real. Look at this chicken V - it is bigger than the car

I think about this tweet every time I feel something online start to curl its annoying little grip into my head

my stress dreams seem to default to missing deadlines because last night I dreamt that I missed the deadline of moving apartments ?
