This weekend I took my kid to the art museum and as we walked up we encountered a guy wearing a spandex face covering and driving one of these things (it was green). “I’m meeting someone here,” he said. When we came out of the museum he and a friend were manning an RFK for president booth

i'm sorry but if your argument is "republicans aren't listening to the new york times about trans people" you are just lying. they keep citing it in their fucking bills

I also feel so confused that we have to keep going over this: we talked about it with Taylor Lorenz, too. Why do cis people actively engage with entities wanting to harm us and claim they're "helping" us and get outraged when we point out that it doesn't?

Excited for all the "left wing" rhetoric we weren't engaging in to be condemned as part of the "problem" 🤣 These craven, mealy-mouthed motherfuckers

Turned off the water heater, decided he didn't want to flush toilets anymore so he lined his bathroom floor with newspaper and was pissing onto those and shitting into a bucket. Also refused to allow the front door to remain locked, ever
Alright, I have a distraction thread. What is the worst thing your flatmate ever did? I'll start: I came home early from work and caught him, wanking in MY bed 🤮

Someone's going to think that this means I don't take the threat seriously enough but: at least this event and ensuing discussion do a great job of knocking the "DID YOU KNOW PROJECT 2025 WILL DO THIS" posts off my feed every 5 seconds

I genuinely like Promise as a song but I'm struggling with not only its inclusion but like. Every facet of this. Is it a sampler mix of recent work? Why Dixie?

mainstream museums almost always side with the genocidaires because that's the side with money for grants and endowments. bankrupt and evil.
'Within days of the exhibition’s opening, leadership shut down the show, terminated the two artists’ residencies, and fired McCullough from her position as a part-time arts educator.' You'll never guess what the show was about.

Whenever someone is outed as problematic, there are a billion people who need to see, in sky-writing, "you didn't know, that's ok, but now you do, act accordingly." No one expects you to be psychic or in on every whisper network, and folks inferring so aren't being fair. WHISPER networks. WHISPER.

so the tori amos subreddit approach to neil gaiman being a fucking rapist who was sadly much loved by tori herself is...just deleting any discussion about him knowing how threaded through her music he is. Neat

Recognizing neurodiversity means understanding that some behaviors that we consider "normal" or expected don't come naturally to all. That's okay. Having said that, I'll never NOT find it bizarre when managers/leaders crow about taking courses on what amounts to basic human empathy.

Newsletter: Goldman Sachs has called BS on Generative AI, and I believe that it's time that everybody follows suit - generative AI is unreliable, unsustainable, requires an entire rebuild of America's power grid, and is most decidedly not the future. www.wheresyoured.at/pop-culture/
Pop Culturewww.wheresyoured.at A week and a half ago, Goldman Sachs put out a 31-page-report (titled "Gen AI: Too Much Spend, Too Little Benefit?”) that includes some of the most damning literature on generative AI I've ever seen. ...

honestly the thing I find really gutting is the combination of the concepts "everyone in publishing has known that Gaiman was a weird creep for decades" with "Neil Gaiman has written essays and introductions for like every major genre reprint and anthology of the last twenty years"

WTF. The electric company in Texas doesn't have a map of outages so people have been using the Whataburger App to figure out who lost power. This is like when Homer was using the Krusty Burger map when they got lost at sea.

Truly incredible that people will tell me with a straight face that Al Jazeera is biased but magically, somehow mainstream US journalism isn't. Give me a fucking break. This is the same fucking shit that makes it so Haaretz is "credible" but Al Jazeera never is.

I wrote about one of the most infuriating subplots of the Biden crisis: the insistence that he is a "good man." Please look at the genocide in Gaza and then try to tell me that. www.discourseblog.com/p/please-don...
