It is said that the ancients were a powerful race, with technologies we can no longer even imagine. It is said they could transform peanuts into a butter.

I thought my neighbor was a cool punk because her license plate was an abbreviation for “Havoc Girl” but my friend pointed out it was actually HVACGRL and I’m still reeling

Me: *spends 15 minutes massaging my dog in warm water and scented soap, then takes another ten minutes meticulously drying him and telling him what a good boy he is* My dog: That was the worst experience of my life!

ok but out of context “Alicia Silverstone” is an incredible name for a fantasy character

If you say something at SOME point before they stick a hand inside your pants, they be like: "oh no I wasn't gonna do that, haha how paranoid". If you say something AFTER, they be like "well why didn't you say something, you're giving me all this signals". Seriously fuck that bullshit.

Read the transcript from that Gaiman shitshow and aside from sheer disgusted horror, I think at some point we should all discuss this brand of guy (aziz ansari, louis ck, gaiman) who just kind of tip toes all over the room and next you know he has a hand inside your pants.

On my phone complimenting a photo of a duck. As I arrive at the subject's vowel my pupils dilate like a wildcat, my focus sharpens. I watch and make absolutely sure that my typing figure registers a U, and not an adjacent vowel. The danger passed, my body relaxes and returns to normal. Send post.

I just read an article that said "Why is it taking so long for your favorite movies and tv series to air? Blame the writers and actor strikes" No I won't. I'm blaming that ✨single✨ motherfucker at the studio who makes $250 million dollars a year who's one job is supposed to make this shit happen.

#Metoo ruined lives: the women’s. For the summer issue of Bookforum, I wrote about Christine Blasey Ford’s memoir “One Way Back,” the aftermath of disclosure, and what it means to be a public survivor when storytelling has proven futile. www.bookforum.com/culture/disp...

I wish Democrats would understand that it doesn’t matter how much the oil companies bribe you, if you support fast tracking clean energy you’ll get popular support AND get a brand new and less-regulated energy industry to bribe you.

Google’s emissions are up 48% in 5 years. Microsoft’s are up 30% since 2020. Those soaring figures are being driven by mass investments in data centers to power AI tools. Generative AI is a climate disaster and data center expansion must be stopped.

This is all the article says about Trump's actual actions: "Many felonies — like Mr. Trump’s and Hunter Biden’s as well — amount to lying on official paperwork." So entirely avoiding the intent to violate election law and getting in a "both-sides-do-it" at the same time. The NYT remains trash.

I don’t even know where to begin with this.

It is possible I will be angry about what Amazon did to Comixology for the rest of my life. I read and discover so, so much less without that incredible website to browse. The kindle store version isn’t even “we have comixology at home,” it’s “you don’t get to have comixology, eat a dick”

yes, we boiled the planet, but it was worth it to make a machine that, instead of adding two plus two, takes the statistical average of every answer to questions containing "what" "is" "two" and "plus" from a database of illegal cell phone transcripts and returns a fake nude pic of a high schooler

I liked the flute album, that's kind of my thing, but listening to "Ms. Jackson" and "Hey Ya" back to back makes me sad that Outkast just stopped making new music and never resumed, there's no way they were out of ideas.

Ever notice that the people from older generations that write articles dumping on younger generations are always affluent? Like, maybe it's just rich people who suck and the "generational divide" is just a distraction?

In retrospect maybe decades of saturation in American cowboy and superhero fiction - in which solo vigilantes (fed up with incompetence and malice of public servants) work outside of government or the law to single handedly restore order - weren’t such a good idea…

Comments like this are just baffling to me. Like, I literally just listed a bunch of completely FREE or affordable alternatives to using genA/I to create comm refs Just admit that you don't care. What's with this idea that before exploitative genA/I, people couldn't create ref sheets? What on earth

Obviously nobody wanted the Cons to win, but news outlets calling Labour "center left" makes me laugh bitterly. Didn't their leader literally just say he wanted trans people to lose their rights??
