Once Facebook replaces its users, advertisers, employees, and CEO with software we can just seal the whole thing in a sort of computer terrarium and fling it into space

It's 4/20! Let me remind you why marijuana was criminalized to begin with: "We knew we couldn't make it illegal to be either against the war or blacks, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities. We could arrest their leaders, raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did.” - John Erlichman, senior advisor to Nixon

Happy 4/20 to those who celebrate!

The article and replies question why there's no liberal equivalent of this and imply they're just smarter, but it seems like mostly a supply issue. There's no need to invent hot topless chicks who love reproductive rights, you can see them marching downtown every other weekend

Trans people haven't done anything, but a bunch of Epstein islanders still collectively lost their absolute shit over us for no reason

Philanthropy is a billionaire trick. They took all the money and now they get to decide. And then when one of them deigns to pay for something, they get treated like they are the best people in the world. They aren't.

He's mad that Trump isn't *enough* of a Nazi, you monumentally useless buffoons

Introduced my students to the Latin subjunctive today.

I am once again saying that letting fascists back into society when they pretend to be repentant like this will lead to the rise of fascism again. They are upset because Trump has made them look like the fascists they are. This does not mean they are on the side of morality and human rights suddenly

eugenics is the official policy of the U.S. government (and it was under Biden too with his let it rip strategy for covid)

Hey all, I just had a meeting with someone who makes cosplay in Portland, OR who asked me if I knew any people who make cosplay who would like contract work. If you are lemme know and I can shoot your contact directly to him!

I will once again posit you could win with >70% if the vote with the simple "Police settlements come out of their pension fund, not the city funds" policy.

I think a major limiting factor is going to be physical location. Most malls are in suburbs and not easy to get to without a car.

Honest question but most people don't realize that Battlestar Galactica predates both Moby Dick and Starbucks Coffee

One of the things I most resent about this is that I know it to be a deliberate strategy by Netanyahu, he does not want Jewish people to feel safe living outside Israel. And it’s working, global antisemitism is rising. The antisemites are making his point for him.

Motherfucker I already have one job in retail and you want me to do this shit? No wonder ticket sales cratered.

tim cook is like 90% responsible for why the Internet sucks so much shit now (Sex-Negative Appification) so it is my sincere hope he is retiring due to accidentally swallowing a bag full of the scarabs that eat you from the inside from the 90s the mummy

Fun fact:

Whenever someone would mention Embercleave during coverage/streams/etc, this is what I heard

I think a major factor in Artemis II's popularity vs that of private space travel events is how fundamentally human the crew is, which makes them both aspirational and relatable

The entire script of "The Devil's Hands are Idle Playthings", starting with the opening credits tag "See You On Some Other Channel"

Looks like we're starting the celebration about 90 minutes early
