✔️ World building

✔️ Weirdest most interesting "parent/child" (they're both the parent and the child!) relationship in contemporary literature
✔️ Pretty gay
✔️ Beautiful look at a world where multiple intelligences are possible AND fight messily for the freedom and decency of all

And these fuck-ups predate AI; Word was already getting worse before that. I just don't understand it! Why ruin something that people need and use? (I know the answer is always money, but ugh!)

The thing that's driving me nuts is, there aren't even that many in this document! It's not overloaded (or, it shouldn't be), it's just not working.

I have an old non-update-y Office copy, and this still happens! I'm working with an editor on some light Track Changes edits and I somehow can't highlight text within the document if I want to make a big deletion or copy/paste

This is not even the first time I personally am complaining about this. But what the fuck. Why take a functional product that people use and simply ruin it. WHY?

Let me be the ten thousandth person to complain about how bad Track Changes is getting

As wealth concentrates, so does power — the power to influence elections, shape policy, tilt markets and define the terms of public debate.

Taxing billionaires is not radical.

What is radical is allowing a system where extreme wealth exists alongside widespread hardship.

A series of posts from journalist Mark Chadbourn reporting on the acceptance speech of Péter Magyar after Hungarian elections: Péter Magyar: "Our country wants to live again. It wants to be a European country again." Mark Chadbourn• @chadbourn.bsky.social • 24m Magyar's speech is powered. From a contact in the audience: "He's basically just asked all the puppets, all the supreme justices, all the heads of media, all the heads of the ministries to leave their jobs tomorrow and not wait to be fired." •.. Mark Chadbourn• @chadbourn.bsky.social • 22m He's announced that Hungary will join the European Prosecution Office so anyone in the country can be charged. Mark Chadbourn• @chadbourn.bsky.social • 21m Magyar: "No mercy, they will need to take responsibility for all their actions." ... Mark Chadbourn• @chadbourn.bsky.social • 20m Magyar says he's starting work with the EU and NATO immediately. "The EU doesn't have to worry anymore."

From new Hungarian Prime Minister Péter Magyar's acceptance speech tonight. This is the absolute BARE MINIMUM platform for any Democrat running for President in 2028.

It’s a fucking heartbreaker

Four panel comic with the title "Much for Dog in Space to Consider" Each panel shows a white fluffy dog with cinnamon colored spots, in space. Panel one text: "In my mind it's late September/In this land of no surrender/Light on glass, it flicks the eye/A hint of wind, a speck of sky." Panel two: "We wanted to slow down the pace/ Of progress, with a touch of grace/A forehead-blessing benediction/Fall, fire, ash, grace." Panel three: "But how will we achieve it all/With just the memory of fall?/Cool air that fills my mouth with ice/To crunch between my teeth, dry rice." Panel four: "And yet it's gone, I cannot find/That place, let alone that time/We craved calm weather of the heart/And to find it, tore ourselves apart" Yes, this comic is busy as hell. Too busy, arguably.

Thank you Congresswoman.

I have voted twice to advance articles of impeachment. We cannot wait. Congress must convene immediately and begin proceedings to remove this man from office for the safety of our nation, Americans, and the world.

it's a small catharsis to yell WHY ARE YOU DOING AND FEELING LESS THAN EVERY PERSON I SEE ON THE STREET but I will take any catharsis at all

We will not be forgiven for this, and we shouldn't be.

Elected Representatives and Senators….where the fuck are you? Either accept your responsibility to stop this or your complicity. You will be judged.

Senator, you were elected to lead in these times and your'e one of the few I've trusted to do it. Please return to Washington and make sure all your colleagues come with you.

In Korea, when the president declared martial law after midnight and erected barricades in Seoul, congressional reps from all parties ran into the streets, yanked ak47s from the army at the barricades, broke down the locked door to Congress, repealed the martial law order, and arrested the president

You are a senator.

I'm not sure how you can be against removing this man from office right now. What will it take? A nuke being dropped? It's too late then. The purpose of impeachment and the 25th Amendment is to prevent that type of thing from happening, not just to react to it.

Someone patched GIMP to look and feel exactly like Adobe Photoshop.

Same keyboard shortcuts. Same tool layout. Same everything.

It's called PhotoGIMP and it's free.
