I'm not saying we live in the worst timeline, but it definitely could've been better
i met anubis in the realm of the underworld, big strong guy by the way, had a dog’s head, i’m not so sure about that. and he said to me, mr president, you’ve got the heaviest soul we’ve ever weighed down here. can you believe it? they’ve never seen a soul that heavy in all of duat

Hi, what the fuck is going on at Walter Reed?
I'm basically not traveling anymore because of this. Is it likely I'm going to get arrested for taking a piss in a restroom if I have a stopover in Texas or some other state that's hard to control? No. Is that risk still enough to utterly offset any chance I'm going to PAX or whatever? Gosh yes.
Software developer cleared of murder after defence lawyer proves victim invoked undefined behaviour
This is honestly the best fucking news I've heard in months. Even when he's trying to force the jackboots to roll over the entire nation, he's stiffing them like a contractor at one of his dingy hotels. This is fucking great. This is actual fucking hope.
This is a great way to treat people you're trying to order to commit war crimes against their neighbors
I need the most toxic yuri you have... no, that's too toxic.
i hadn't heard about this lol. they really sealed that mf up too
![Fearing that some of his former employees or other labor supporters might try to dig up his body, his family arranged for his remains to be placed in a lead-lined mahogany coffin, which was then sealed inside a block of concrete. At the cemetery, a large pit had been dug at the family plot. At its base and walls were 18 inches of reinforced concrete. The coffin was lowered, and covered with asphalt and tar paper. More concrete was poured on top, followed by a layer of steel rails bolted together at right angles, and another layer of concrete. The entire burial process took two days. His monument, featuring a Corinthian column flanked by curved stone benches, was designed by Solon Spencer Beman, the architect of the company town of Pullman.[13]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:yr6tximkbhfbrzmk3s6az3fe/bafkreibe436xrfc4hxmg22dhzssmq5ljyczliu2b625pswqolgjnjetgqq@jpeg "Click to view full size")
This joke just reminded me that when industrialist George Pullman died in the 1890s they reportedly encased his coffin in concrete so his workers couldn't dig him up and desecrate his body.

"I believe in separating the art from the artist," I say, to explain why I haven't touched my draft in days.
I don't get how people don't realize that a technology that replaces junior and entry level positions in a field destroys that field. There's no skipping steps. You have to be a junior before you can be a senior, and if you don't have senior people, you don't have a field.
"Newsom trolls..." "DNC trolls..." "Democrats troll..." I literally do not give a shit about the opposition "trolling" others, it's time the DNC stops treating politics like a game of Twitter and finally organises against the right-wing government. Stop trying to do le epic trolls and DO SOMETHING.
We can't ever win by appealing to that. Appealing to that IS losing. I firmly believe that we can win by going hard in opposition to it. I firmly believe that a candidate who comes out hard on no compromise, no quarter, no looking back will sweep a free and fair election. If we still have those.
I hope you understand that if you show up at a hospital with an infection no one has ever seen before that the US had somewhere you could call. That place would answer, offer testing you can’t get anywhere else and come visit you to solve if necessary.

He did not, in the end, shit gold.
He died. He died on the toilet but “not the way you think,” a White House spokesperson said in a brief statement before declining follow-up questions.
Realistically I think he *is* probably still alive, but the longer we keep this up the more hilarious the lengths they'll be forced to go to in order to prove it Hoping for daily live streams of him holding up a newspaper
Rudy Giuliani absolutely did not try to shortchange a sex worker and then was pursued by her colleagues, don’t you dare suggest such a thing
19% of Democrats say they would vote for Newsom in the primary if it were today. 50% of **Americans** say they would vote for a candidate with the same platform as Mamdani. Why are we letting people pretend Newsom's dive into transphobia is some kind of practical sacrifice for electability?
Afghan scholar Mohammad Halimi, who fled the Taliban in 2021, had worked to help U.S. diplomats understand his homeland. Then DOGE put his family’s lives at risk by exposing his sensitive work for a U.S.-funded nonprofit.
"The Republican Party wants to pull YOUR teenage daughter's pants down in the middle of gym class if they think she's too good at lacrosse, this is vile and depraved and only the start of their intrusive government overreach" should be the party line and I don't think it's a heavy lift
Israel threatening to formalize its already-existing regime of annexation & apartheid over the Palestinians of the occupied West Bank in response to European recognition of the State of Palestine is the diplomatic the equivalent of “if you fire me from my job, then I will go home and beat my kids.”
My favorite sentence in the New York Times explainer on Mamdani and socialism.
we gave an improv group the prompt "you fueled a man's delusions" and published the results
you say "i asked chatgpt" i hear "i asked [an improv comedy group]" an improv group wrote this report instead of a therapist i use an improv comedy group
oh okay I was looking at my steam wishlist and got hit by the mature content filter, my debit card isn't enough for them soooo I guess I'll just never be able to buy adult games unless I get a credit card??? : | MY ACCOUNT IS LITERALLY 20 YEARS OLD LMAO
love how consistent they are about fucking people over, even the ones whose loyalty they rely on to enforce their regime
Actually, Frankenstein is a doctor success at the Venice film festival
They're actively targeting creators who call in & banning them, making it even more important to call if you're a customer & not a creator Tell them they shouldn't be dictating how you get to spend the money you put your blood, sweat, and tears into earning
fascism is almost definitionally rule by the most ignorant, so going "wow their ignorance goes beyond fascism" is like saying it's bizarre for a fish to swim well. it's not, in fact it's in their very nature. if they weren't violently ignorant, they would have self-selected out of the party by now
weimar germany was actually a bit of a globally renowned intellectual and scientific powerhouse until it got taken over by people who thought the theory of relativity was a piece of jewish trickery meant to deceive them
the nazis literally got their start in mass murder campaigns by exterminating disabled people for some vague pseudoscientific concept of "racial hygiene", and you can see the first steps of it with rfkj right now
"I can't believe these fascists are doing [maybe one of the top 3 hallmarks of every fascist government in human history], this is unprecedented and goes beyond fascism"
Really under disused how the logic of the GWOT has steadily erased all distinction between civilian leadership and militant in the kinds of operations that the US and Israel engage in. In the 1990s and early 2000s, Clinton and Bush both condemned Israeli assassination attempts of Hamas leaders.

trump is urgently redirecting all scientific funding to a manhattan project scale endeavor focused on making a microscopic camel 🪡
The more I think about this the more inevitable it seems that the slop ecosystem is going to organically produce a post-mortem Occluded Mahdi version of Trump that speaks through screenshots of accepted Truth Social and X accounts posted to Facebook
I’m just saying that when it happens I’m jumping out of bed, running to my window, and tossing a coin to a boy to buy the biggest goose in town

if we lie enough times that he's dead the new york times has to do a 3 month long barrage of stories over whether or not he's dead

Old Soviet joke for today: A man walks into a newsstand every day, looks around, and leaves. After a long time of this, the owner says “Can I help you find something?” “I’m looking for the obituaries.” “The obituaries are in the back of the newspaper, comrade.” “Not the one I’m looking for.”
when president garfield was dying, they shoved a bunch of stuff up his butt in the hopes it would save him. it didn't work, in fact it definitely killed him quicker. but if any white house guys are reading this: you're the chosen one, you can make it work
Worst case scenario: this is a dry run for the big day! At least it’s a reminder that it’s Going To Happen.

Everyone make sure to have the Keith David welcome to hell clip handy, just in case you need it
I invented a new phone to help save time in the morning
i hope he's not dead yet but he's in really bad shape and he's got RFK trying out all kinds of weird cures on him that cause him a ton of pain and definitely don't help even a little
Any elected Dem who expresses anything more sympathetic than “eat shit in hell you fascist fuck” should be treated with suspicion. If they’re worried about a bad reaction they can stay silent or deflect and talk about working families and the economy or something like they always do on tough issues
People have floated the idea that when it happens they’ll try a Weekend at Bernie’s (1989). But I think they’ll attempt a combo of Wag the Dog (1997) with Dave (1994).
💀💀💀💀💀

Weekend at Bernie's
To accept this poll as anything but useless is to believe that no conservative parent ever disowned their own child for being gay or trans or just having hair that's too long or whatever. Conservative respondents to this poll simply lied. Or, shocker, they believe that what THEY do "doesn't count."
A Trump voter imprisons your neighbor it’s law and order. Kicks their gay kid out its religious conviction. Shoots you dead it’s self defense. Kidnaps you, it’s border security. Invades your town, it’s fighting crime. Tell them you don’t like them anymore, it was all just “political views.”
I want to explain a few things and then it might be clearer why UK trans people are upset. In 2001 I married my wife, Sylvia. In 2005 I started medical transition. (1/13)
As it's still valid, presumably if I don't keep following it, I am also breaking the law and subject to arrest. The law of the land simultaneously requires me to be both a man and a woman and if I do either then I am breaking the law and subject to arrest. (11/13)
gavin newsom today deployed militarized divisions of the california highway patrol to reinforce and extend the violent crack downs trump has been implementing. he is actively expanding trump's authoritarian program totally voluntarily.
I’ve seen a lot of fucked up shit in my day, but this might just take the cake.
"This would kill a Victorian child on contact" buddy, that kid grew up with heroin in their cough syrup and arsenic in their wallpaper. A Victorian child would probably kill YOU on contact.

Apropos of nothing, a reminder that German stock markets kept climbing in an almost uninterrupted fashion in the run-up to WW2. Investors are really, really bad at pricing serious institutional and political risks.
Wir klagen um Habil Kılıç, der heute vor 24 Jahre, am 29. August 2001, in #München vom NSU ermordet wurde. Seine Frau sagt: „Die erste Zeit war so brutal, dass ich sie kaum beschreiben mag. Ich musste das Blut meines Mannes vom Boden des Geschäftes & von den Wänden abwischen. 1/2

thinking about how in 2021 joe biden got into office with the biggest ever excuse to crush the extremists in the republican party underheel and instead he was like "muh bipartisanship" and now there's a fascist in the white house
My favorite part of Moebius is when he goes "It's Moebin' time!" and then he goes "It's Moebin' time!" and then he goes "It's Moebin' time!" and then he goes "It's Moebin' time!" and then he goes "It's Moebin' time!" and then he goes "It's Moebin' time!" and then he goes "It's Moebin' time!" and the
This fucking dude. Declares homelessness a crime, hates trans people, dabs in crypto memecoins, sends cops to occupy cities, posts AI slop about himself, shares worldview with the likes of Charlie Kirk and Steve Bannon.
Impossible to put into writing what should happen to the agents whose job is taking fathers from daughters, but you can certainly think it.

"imagine a burgher,"
"We allowed our No. 1 ally, on our watch, to violate every single principle and pillar of humanitarian assistance and civilian protection that we created for the world," the official said. "It's a stain which everyone in the world sees, even if we don't."
A new story released by NPR earlier today further confirms what has already been perceived by many: Biden, Blinken, Sullivan and McGurk were personally favorable to Israel no matter its behavior and dismissed internal attempts to hold Israel accountable and to enforce US law on military assistance.
They literally had him on camera instigating a coup attempt. They didn't want it. Jeffries, Schumer, Biden, Harris, Pelosi, Hochul, Newsome: these names should go down in history as Stanley Baldwin, Schuschnigg or Chamberlain, if not Petain or Leopold III
"Pat, why do you carry that ridiculous 600mm lens on long hikes?" Buddy, I can see mountains reflected in the eyes of a trailside pika.
On this day in 1955, two white men abducted and murdered 14-year-old Emmett Till in Mississippi.
One extraordinary thing about Pritzker's speech: saying this won't last forever and justice will eventually find the perpetrators. Shouldn't have stood out so much. But did, because way too many US elites in politics, media, business, etc. are acting like it's popular and permanent. It's neither.
Sweden and the Netherlands have jointly called for the EU to suspend trade with Israel in response to what they call the "extremely disturbing and intolerable" humanitarian situation in Gaza
the dogs have been begging to go outside with alarming frequency and intensity lately. turns out there’s nothing wrong with them, there’s just a piece of american cheese stuck to the sidewalk out front.
Seems like the kind of thing federal agents could handle if they weren’t busy tracking down America’s most wanted DoorDash delivery drivers in DC.

Well this is it. I was let go from Crystal Dynamics as Perfect Dark was cancelled. I am now out of a job. I genuinely dont know what to do at this moment but to frantically apply for as many jobs that are applicable. If anyone needs a Senior Environment Artist of 10+ years, please let me know.
