Being mean to frogs by calling them skin-breathers.

I’m sure it won’t bite us that the big journalistic outlets got called “liars,” by Donald Trump and then immediately dropped their standards to the point that any given article is equally likely to be nonsense as it is to be trustworthy and well-sourced. Great job y’all. You really showed him.

It’s so easy to find out why this happened, and it has nothing to do with Biden’s health. NYT is doing something, but it isn’t journalism.

Breaking News: A Parkinson’s expert visited the White House eight times in eight months from last summer through this spring, according to official visitor logs. The administration has said that President Biden has no signs of the disease.

Cool night to be an emetophobe on bsky

As someone who once worked in a manufacturing startup where we tried to match small-run fabrication jobs to shops with idle machinery, this is exactly the sort of insane email we would get from people trying to get their first ever fabrication job done. This tolerance isn’t possible.

I am glad this piece about the Heritage Foundation threatening civil war if the left doesn’t accept a monarchy came out in the WaPo. More like this, please.

A second American Revolution, this one aimed at unwinding democracy in favor of a monarchy. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Analysis | The target of the right’s ‘revolution’ is pluralistic democracy itselfwww.washingtonpost.com The president of the Heritage Foundation said, “We are in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be.”

Everybody needs to see this quote, understand that this is what Project 2025 is about, and internalize the fact that this is what the Republican Party is doing. This is not a conspiracy theory from the left. They are saying it out loud. #politics #news

He literally said that

If you thought the worst of global warming was gonna stay where it was already the hottest, no, not quite.

"The temperature in Death Valley National Park could skyrocket to 130 degrees next week, the National Weather Service is reporting."

Pornhub is cutting access in Kentucky in a few days due to the State Gov’t requiring age verification. They are so much closer to this goal than most Americans think.

It sucks that spitting on Tulsi Gabbard is illegal. Stupid country.

Is there a job board that posts positions at companies that haven’t invested catastrophic amounts of money into AI? Seems useful to have a list of jobs that won’t implode as soon as one currently-unsustainable technology falls apart.

I feel like I’ve really underestimated my deep yearning to be an inescapable and merciless pest. Must use this for Politics™.

Joe Biden please get the microplastics out of my testes ❤️

People close to Biden confirming that a six hour work day is ideal and should be the standard for everyone

Just being trans is considered porn. And since people making porn should be imprisoned, it's a direct line to jailing the trans community. Vote for the candidate who won't imprison people for being who they are.

I'mma say this for all the people in the back. Don't vote for a person. Vote for your rights, for the rights of others. On page 5 of Project 2025's 180-day plan they openly call for outlawing porn, recommending imprisoning anyone who creates it. Are you an NSFW artist, or like the art? THIS IS YOU.

MY HUMAN SAID, “CATS DON’T EAT DORITOS.” I SAY, SHOULD WE NOT STRIVE TO BUILD BETTER WORLDS?

Games don’t have enough random chance mechanics nowadays. Dice are cool, and there are so many shapes now, but what about wheel spinning? What about darts? What about a big-ass mountain dwarf themed fly wheel roulette situation?

First, blender is improving so much and I’m so happy about. But also it is so funny how 90% of blender’s usability issues are due to attempts to do things differently than the industry standard. Standards aren’t always best, but they *are* transferable.

HOLY FUCK SOMEONE FIXED BLENDERS SHIT UI AND MADE IT USABLE BY HUMANS WITHOUT INVESTING A SHIT TON OF TIME JUST KNOWING WHERE THE SINGLE OPTION YOU NEED IT FOR IS OR LEARN 300 GODSDAMNED SHORTCUTS RESKEETED TO THE MAX HOLY SHIT

Sure. Gratuity. The concept they use to keep service workers poor and disempowered, reframed as a not-gross alternative to a bribe. Such a cool country

People are asking questions about my “It’s a gratuity not a bribe” already answered by the shirt.

Can we get a drugs-o-meter that users can update to show how high they are when they post something? I feel like it would add a whole new layer of depth to my feeds.

Very proud of Bluesky for reviving a very old linguistics meme

Dell gave employees an ultimatum to return to office some of the week or accept they were never eligible for a promotion ever again. Half the employees shrugged and stayed remote. arstechnica.com/gadgets/2024...

Bluesky gotta lose some LBs lol lmao

Lmao people are liking a months old jab at Chomsky’s truly garbage linguistics work today. I live for it

It helps that a huge portion of his linguistics work is complete nonsense based entirely on ignoring non-hegemonic languages. An easy guy to dislike, for many reasons.

As both a professional archaeologist of 10 years and a political activist, this is fucking dumb, but if this is the thing you're mad about just know that if the A303 judicial review fails this year we're going to dig a 2 mile long tunnel through the site and get it stripped of World Heritage status.

Nintendo is odd. People shout about wanting a Zelda game where Zelda is actually the playable protagonist. They give us that. But as with all the “Zelda things people asked for,” they cannot resist the urge to subvert the formula in a way that totally changes the rhythm of the game…

Oh, they’re ready. They’re just going to deny all the claims beyond a certain allowable threshold.
