In general a fixation on purity and motives is a privilege of not actually needing to care about the material effects of an action

And this is why I take copious notes from clients (and have fired them for pulling “wrong-rock” shit one too many times) - the notes largely prevent the firing, tho!

"wrong-rock game" was a new reference to me

Winning "bring me a rock"www.simplermachines.com An annoying game that people play at work a lot, and how to get out of it.

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

This 4th of July, take a little time to think about how the Left can try to reclaim patriotism from conservatives. Seems like the story of a country that cast off a king and fought a civil war to free the slaves is fertile ground given our present moment.

It also makes me feel insane that the rat fuck around Biden’s age and mental capacity is being uncritically spread around by Democrats when Trump is *incredibly obviously* grotesquely mentally incapacitated, in a way that is genuinely terrifying.

It makes me feel very much unmoored from reality to see all this *buying into* the Biden Too Old ratfuck narrative, days after the Supreme Court ruled that Trump gets to be dictator for life, just weeks after Trump became a convicted felon (oh, and there’s the Epstein stuff that just came out).

Giving up hope is also complying with authoritarians in advance. It’s saying that fascism is inevitable, that there is no other way to be. I know it’s hard to keep hope alive, but I hope you find a way. ❤️

It's not going to come down to a president or red states or blue states. It's going to come down to electing mayors and city council members that are brave enough to say "you're going to need to send in the National Guard if you want that shit enforced here." This is why we vote.

Instead of panicking or yet another postmortem (forgive me I've been Black this whole time so not much of this is breaking for me), link up with like minded folk for practical solidarity. Shield those more vulnerable than you and figure out how you can soften structural abandonment.

Happy with the way these flash merpeople turned out. Have wanted to find my “style” since starting and I feel like I may finally be getting closer to it - bah

At the end of the day, I don't need to be excited about the top of the ticket to be excited about this election. The presidential election is a root canal. Unfun but probably important not to avoid. DOWN BALLOT IS WHERE IT'S AT! Let's codify abortion! Let's kick these bitches off school boards!

I'm very comfortable thinking of these people as my enemies. Someone else can win them over. I want them defeated, marginalized, and bereft of hope.

A campaign should be underway to identify all the donors to the Heritage Foundation. These a-holes need to be named and shamed and their businesses boycotted. They are anti-American, anti-rule of law, and anti-democracy thugs with too much money.

Four Cinematic Feasts 📽️

* Numbing cream can really change how your tattoo heals - so ask for permission to use it before your appt (don’t just put it on) * You shouldn’t buy ‘tattoo designs’ off Etsy, etc. most artists will not tattoo them for you. Find a tattoo artist and see if they can draw your design for your appt

ok i have another quote tweet prompt. what's something, big or small, related to your job or hobby, that most people don't know that you would like to have them know? it can be a concept, a piece of history, some vocabulary, or something else.

This is true of all creative endeavors. DO THE THING. DO IT IMPERFECTLY BUT DO THE THING. YOU ONLY GET BETTER AT DOING THE THING BY DOING THE THING This is very hard for me too.

be less afraid to create clumsy comics. awkward tangents. amateur lettering. weird sequentials and pacing. You Can Just Make it. you dont need to be trapped in a cycle of perfectionism and imposter syndrome when you could have a finished work instead. print that thing out and staple it!!!

this is cool and everything but when do we get to introduce mr. jones to the wicker man?

“Jones' influential Infowars show and website could be shut down by the end of the day, and his personal belongings — from his gun collection to his jewelry — could soon be auctioned to the highest bidder in something of a fire sale.” www.npr.org/2024/06/14/n...

Alex Jones faces day of reckoning over what he owes Sandy Hook familieswww.npr.org A judge is expected to tell Jones to sell off assets. But the families are likely to get only a tiny fraction of the nearly $1.5 billion in damages Jones owes for lies about the 2012 school shooting.

One thing they never tell you about being alive is that it takes about 40 or 50 years to get the hang of it

The courts have given media a freebie to start using basic words for Donald Trump and assume basic facts are in evidence. When you don't see that, you're seeing a choice.

How Not to Report on Donald Trump - Truthdigwww.truthdig.com A.G. “Dash” Sulzberger’s Silicon Valley-inflected skepticism and open-debate pieties are a recipe for dangerously irresponsible journalism by omission.

What up, super long legged horse? Thanks for the treat, Roku.

Reskeet with how old you are using a vague proxy: I was always sour that as a kid flying solo I couldn’t sit in the back of the plane with the smokers. They just seemed cooler.

Just like NFTs before them, all the ways people come up with to make LLMs useful involve stapling them to functional programs that don't need them and could do the job better without the unnecessary layer of overhyped scamware
