[Everyone on The Enterprise standing at a 45 degree angle moments before warp] First mate: Captain why are we all positioned like this? Captain: To italicly go where no one has gone before, engage
There are no centrists, just people lying to cover up actually being on the right
Exactly, this is a reflection of the oblivious inhumanity of The White House. They posted this thinking it looked like some sort of win, rather than a needless extrajudicial mass murder
"The experts who SUPPOSEDLY know about the thing are liars who think they're SO much better than you because they SAY they know about the thing! Are you going to take that? They don't really know, it's a conspiracy! You & I know more!" - it's amazing how effective appeals to anti-intellectualism are
After Successful Launch of Beloved New Product, Startup Investors Eager to Destroy It for Profit
You gotta respect the shamelessness of grifters, they can tell an audience of millions not to trust experts, that experts are all lying to them, & only they the grifter (who's got no actual expertise on the subject) has the REAL truth And millions will buy into the scam This is a post about RFK Jr
Literally criminalising a few million of their citizens for simply existing as themselves Because religion and prejudice and anti-science and cis:het conservatives being literally the worst
Since Adobe brought in subscriptions ugh, it all just sucks so much. You can't own anything, you gotta rent it, and it just gets worse each iteration now Microsoft even floated the concept of making Windows subscription based, paying a monthly fee to turn your computer on and have the OS work WTF
I looked it up, it's well regarded for hobbyists but apparently it's not at the same level as photoshop
white people say so much dumb shit, especially when they're talking about what's better for BIPOC folk
I posit that many of the people invested in the confident sounding LLM genuinely dislike subject matter experts for daring to exist because how dare a person know more about a subject than me, a confident arrogant asshole. No the LLM tells me you're wrong, experts are wrong!
And how exactly do we know those people they just murdered presented any sort of imminent threat, or had been given any sort of justice?
You don't look forward to updates, like that they'll add awesome new features or functionality, you dread them wondering how much worse they're going to make using your device you already own, and what new garbage they're going to foist on you to try and force you to use
Right? It's like each update they push out feels like they're pushing more bullshit on you & taking more freedom away. It's less you've got this neat new tech device & more you're required to have one & it is primarily selling everything about you while also demanding never ending subscriptions
You can't make Xi destroy the entire renewable energy industry in China by having offshore wind turbines visible from some parts of a golf course of his in another country he rarely visits But that's all it took for Trump to cut the throat of the US renewables industry and leave it to die
Damn, you're right. They really went after her for being a woman, for their claim she was a trans woman & therefore bad, & for being Black Can you imagine how frkn annoying life must be like in the US for Black women? Let alone in positions of authority? Every frkn day with these mid af white dudes
Every damn day I wish there were decent alternatives to the creative tools I use but there's just... not really. If you're doing pen based stuff and have like a Surface, or an iPad there's some great tools but desktop with mouse/stylus in Windows the tools I got are still among the very best
True
Be loud for America because the fourth estate's refusal to fulfil their journalistic obligation to fairly report on and broadcast this fascist coup means it will be committed under the cover of silence from the press who are complicit with the regime
dang, that's an excellent remix of the classic
I've been using Linux for over 2 decades, including having Linux boxes in my room But if I'm not going to upgrade to W11 for fear it'll break my creative tools and the plugins I have set up with them that I constantly use... I'm not going to switch to Linux which can't run them at all
RFK: Fuck them kids Trump: What did you say? Can I fuck kids again?
China is streaking ahead of the US with renewable tech, shedding fossil fuels. Renewables are a huge global growth industry but because Trump saw windmills near his golf course in Scotland & he's a fossil fuel puppet the US is going to miss out on the manufacturing boom, the money, & the jobs
I'm reminded of the mid 2010s where the right would accuse us of being SJW's, "Social Justice Warriors". And the common reply was, yes, I do fight for justice in society. Why don't you?
Damn, Ice is going into cities in red states?
That was me as a kid, I remember a 2 hour drive home from Sydney to Canberra where I had a gaming magazine about the new Duke Nukem 3D and I was lost in it, the new tech was so exciting I can't recall being excited for new tech in quite a few years, especially since techbros started pushing AI
charming
Can she be quartered in my house though? Because I was never great at fractions
i know the earth isnt flat because no company is trying to sell me a trip to see the edge of it
"Flat earth tours this Sunday Sunday Sunday! Your ticket's for the whole seat, BUT YOU'LL ONLY NEED THE EDGE!" No doubt flat earthers explain this away through some big conspiracy, which is, what they love the most
When the CEO of MS says that they're using vibe coding for a chunk of W11 now, and one of the recent updates bricked a bunch of folks SSDs? Yeah keep that mess away from me please
You've touched on something I didn't, the biggest piece of global tech, the internet, techbros are actively ruining every frkn day You can't even get an accurate search result anymore, it's bs AI hallucinations, SEO spam, & AI slop Their biggest ideas lately have been "make the internet worse"
That's it, they drained the fun out of tech And now tech news fills me with dread It's wild because as a kid I'd inhale tech mags and each new generation was amazing & inspiring & now it's just billionaire assholes trying to lock you into subscription based walled gardens with no real innovation
It's such whiplash going from being excited for new tech just a decade ago to now hoping with each new generation the techbros haven't made it too much worse and cringe I mean, they really released the Apple Vision Pro, and AI. So much AI forced into everything even though it sucks so severely
I'm currently in the position where I love how my PC works and all of my software and plugins are set up and working perfectly on Windows 10 I am truly hesitant to upgrade to Windows 11 because it might break my software, & it will absolutely give MS more control to shove AI into my PC experience
I see RFK's placement as what my mates & I call COVID Revenge. For a few months MAGA had to follow science & medicine based public health directives, to quarantine, mask up, & get vaccinated They still hold an incredible grudge over this, & RFK? Well he lets them take revenge on science & medicine
I'm old enough to remember when upgrading your tech meant it would get better, not worse
It's wild watching Trump deploy the US military against Americans based on lies told to him by those close to him of supposed crime and violence run rampant on the streets These people have a plan but are also deeply ignorant and incompetent and easily distracted Every day their focus changes
That hit like a dinosaur killing asteroid when it came out and it still has an enduring energy If you play it around people who were there at the time when it dropped you'll get so many many different stories about the memories attached to it What a track
Trump and his enablers finding out in real time that America has only been the major global player due to effective use of soft power which Donald has all but destroyed
I am still not prepared for posts talking about something 5 years ago daring to show that 5 years ago was 2020
If your vows don't end up with a panel of three experts in your field approving your PhD do they even count?
Bahaha, dang I had forgotten about that. The racism and the transphobia duo of claiming Michelle was "actually" a man Like that'd move the needle against her for anyone who wasn't a racist transphobe, and they already hated her
"I zoomed all the way into the picture of this person and it turns out they're made of tiny little boxes, they're a little box man!" - a great line from the fab Tracey Wigfield sitcom about afternoon cable news called Great News, which had Tina Fey as a writer and guest star
A phenomenon among some haters is the claim "every ist must have an ism" so scientists must have scientism which is a term a bunch of magical thinkers tried to push a decade ago to undermine science contradicting their woo "blueskyism" reeks of a similar cope So does that make us blueskyists?
I remember back then when one of my friends who was a women suggested I may not be cis For the next few days I was like, all the things she said, running through my head (in reality I remember it was when my friend Jules painted my fingernails at a party and I liked it so much it scared me)
I guess I am... sunshiny smiley queer That's, pretty spot on
You could have blown his tiny mind by convincing the bar to create a special drink for the event called a Mozel Tov Cocktail
His passing hit me hard, there's still nowhere near enough first nations voices in popular media He was a trail blazer The loss of his voice, of his artistry, I'm going to miss it. I always lit up when I saw him appear on screen because I knew he was going to bring something special
Found the dangerous immigrants who won't integrate with real Australians
If only there was a word the media and police could use for when groups commit acts of violence against people in order to stoke fear and demand political/societal changes
I'm talking shit about you right now! When will you finally bur? You've been Wilbur for ages and we've yet to actually see you bur, sad!
one of the most suspicious things about trump without trump is that he's giving the time of day to rudy giuliani
This is so frustratingly genius, it wins hands down
weirdly I didn't even notice that word was missing until I saw your addendum here, my brain straight up believed that "was" was there as I read it the first time
let your feelings slip boy but never your mask boy
I heard they cloned the actor who played Fonzie on Happy Days, and now the two of them collectively go by Henry Blinkler
Haha, perfect
BREAKING: Capcom announce the Resident Evil franchise has finally been promoted to Attending Evil 💉🥼
so we know Trump's not in DC anymore if it's now a crime free zone
[In the middle of being serial killed by a famous serial killer] Me: uggh, AND you're into astrology? You're literally the worst Zodiac Killer: *starts killing me even quicker*
Got my fancy writing prize revoked when I went to pick it up because the entire committee saw me Pushitzer on their glass door that was clearly marked Pulitzer
omg Cankles Caligula sent me
Thank you for quote posting me 😌
It has taken me years, and is still a massive struggle, to simply say thank you when I am complimented And not immediately reply with a compliment And in those years I've managed to make myself last up to 60 seconds before I reply with a compliment in return so my brain doesn't straight explode 😅
Exactly, they complimented me? I obviously tricked them into thinking I was a good person... which is something only truly bad people do so not only do I not deserve the compliment the fact they gave it to me is proof of how much of a bad person I am And this is a healthy thought process!
If you’re truly uncomfortable receiving compliments the least stressful way to handle it is to simply say “thank you” Then spend the next 3 hours thinking about how they were wrong to offer it because you didn’t deserve it, & how you somehow managed to trick them into thinking you’re a good person
Again it bears repeating how absolutely unhinged it is that he stares at kids at airports & believes in so doing he has diagnosed those children with ... *something wrong* medically Which no medical expert would do & declare like he has He is an ignorant idiot whose delusions are being promoted
haha, got dang that's perfect
Trump's cult are just desperately waiting to mass murder anyone who isn't a member of Donald's cult if they're given permission and free reign
I had to double check that yes, this is a real post from the real lead singer of REM Amazing posting skills
ICE literally joining firefighting efforts on the side of the fire
hall of fame legal AI moment: a judge figures out that someone's court submission was generated using AI because it cites "a wholly imaginary judgment for which the plaintiff claims that I am the author."
As promised by Open AI's Sam Altman, this is PHD level stuff
Listening to the Australian classic He Died With a Falafel in His Hand as the narrator gets increasingly high on heroin in keeping with the book title
I wonder what sort of ideology the person behind this thinks is appropriate to teach children Surely it wouldn't be just be your usual weird magical thinking christofascist nonsense
Always worth remarking that for his many health conditions Trump is receiving quality of care out of the reach of the vast majority of Americans, but not only that, the sort of care created by medical science that his administration is actively trying to destroy
I made this a year ago as a warning Trump is creepy but Vance feels even creepier, the US under JD's command is going to be even more of a shit show
Is it possible to hoist a flag to twice full mast?
bahaha
Some of you might be worried, but remember: he's in the best hands. RFK Jr. is taking excellent care of him.
A classic
exclaiming a fellow member of your hot tub in France committed a crime be like "J'accusi!"
Hey, you know whenever the news depicts someone committing a cyber crime if they always depict them in a darkened room lit by red lights? Well I've got those lights for when I feel like committing crimes on a computer.
Watching the hero diving in front of the bullet to save their partner in the show I'm watching and catching myself saying "oooh, they doin' a heckin' protecc!" then realising 2010s internet culture has permanently tainted my ability to communicate like a regular human
Me: Finally, I can relax and eat my roast chicken in peace Cats in the apartment: *our* roast chicken

imagining Nietzsche doing pop music dance moves with a squad of backup dancers behind him the first time he writes "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger"
If they really wanna take out the trash in DC there's a rotting orange pile of it at 1600 Penn
Online age verification is not like "showing ID to buy alcohol" because a) the liquor store doesn't get to scan your ID and store a digital copy of it forever in a database that will inevitably get hacked b) you don't have to show ID to go to the library because they have cocktail recipe books
You frkn called it
I know, and I thought it was fucking amazing 💖
The fact the agency they paid millions did not see the massive backlash coming, nor the 100 million dollar drop in company value, so their bland capitalism inspired "safe" minimalist design would end up getting scrapped anyway suggests said agency should never be allowed to work in branding again
I worry that people won't get just how fucking clever this joke is
Each scrap of garbage they pick up represents 1 unit of crime, they're making DC safe from crime!
