Unfortunately, not sure if there's a viable path from where we are now. We need social media (of all stripes) either completely dismantled, or placed under heavy regulations, and the population at large doesn't seem have an appetite for either. :(

As I recall, pretty much every Albertan I knew personally considered the secessionists to be completely bonkers. I hope the public sentiment there is still mostly tipped in that direction.
1,600 stolen works from you alone? That they used to build their infinite profit engine? Holy crap. End them! END THEM! I hate the LLM boom. I loathe it with every fiber of my being.
Alberta had successionists yapping when I lived there 25 years ago, so this isn't new. Not that I would be surprised if there are American chuds trying to fan those flames, but they're not a new development.
My.. my skin feels itchy.
A) Oof, sorry man, that sucks. B) Wait, NIN is still touring? Not sure why I find that surprising, but for some reason I figured Trent was done with doing shows ages ago. Anyways, hope you find someone to take those off your hands!

Yeah, these super-weak "gotchas" are just... not doing us any favors. There are so many better issues to mock him on that don't make us look spiteful and pedantic.
The year is 2029. A Democrat is President of the United States, and the exact same Supreme Court just overruled their own ruling from four years ago.
Less that they're listening, and more that that's just no benefit for them to try, so they're going to play nice. Having the GOP win NYC would be a humiliating black eye, much worse than letting a progressive win. Cuomo and Adams have personal incentive to try, but the Dems writ large don't.
The congrats / plans to meet are effectively signs of support, or at the least that they're not planning to get in his way. They have no reason to give the GOP any chance at the NYC mayoral seat, which is all opposing Mamdani would do at this point. If they wanted to shiv, they'd be scaremongering.
Schumer and Jeffries threw their support behind Mamdani already, so the party is pretty unlikely to be trying to shiv him here. Outside of Fetterman, but nobody gives a fuck about Fetterman's opinions.
I heard Sephiroth endorsed him as well, saying, "Andrew Cuomo has the moral character and strength to deliver us the Black Materia."
Everyone whines about the Black Materia, but they never have a better plan for ending capitalism. Get serious.
I felt this image like a physical blow to my stomach.
Lavos, the alien monster intent on destroying all life, has emerged from beneath the planet's surface to endorse Andrew Cuomo in the New York City mayoral race. "Cuomo has the experience and character necessary to lead," said Lavos, while fire rained from the sky
Create and consume a tray of nachos made with communion wafers.
dude this party is such an echo chamber. it's just friends hanging out and chilling and having a good time. you need to invite some people over who want to kill you with hammers
Look, we're a nation that values freedom of speech. Rubber bullets, riot batons, and gas grenades are the cops saying "we hate you", which is communication, so we have to just let them do it. We wouldn't want to suppress their freedom to express themselves!
I've already lost something like 2000 hours of my life to Qud, so the idea of new fucked up content has me looking like sicko.jpg
Happy Pride to all who celebrate and die mad everyone who opposes it.
My pit crew dumps all the jets in the sea And they're like, those jets aren't free Damn right, those jets aren't free I could tow them, but they furloughed me
It's like that saying about some people's only purpose being to serve as a warning to others, except at a national level.
At this point, mere abolishment isn't enough. Every neo-browncoat needs a trial at goddamn Nuremberg.
The stupidest option is almost always the correct one with this administration, so they probably just outright don't know how to notify people.
The president is saying it's unfair that he has to give people trials before sending them to a concentration camp but also we all have to go to work tomorrow.

If we do enough damage during the phase transition, we can skip the 2nd phase and go straight to Capitalism's Final Form.
Folks, I just- em dashes are one of life's greatest pleasures for writers and y'all are just doing them like this? What is wrong with you—they even come in different sizes for different applications!
I do not like when the nerds who post graphs on here are all going "oof" and "jesus christ" at the same time
Something is fundamentally wrong with America when millions of dollars can’t buy you a Wisconsin Supreme Court seat, the respect of your children, the silence of your baby mammas, or a functional penis implant.
*whispering* Lowtax... Lowtax... *My voice rises* Lowtax... Lowtax... *I project from my diaphragm* Lowtax. Lowtax. *shouting now* Lowtax! Lowtax! *My voice crescendos, uplifted my many others like Goku perfoming a Spirit Bomb* LOWTAX! LOWTAX!
The entire thread is like this, nazis asking for a summary of their posts, the AI says "Well it sure as shit looks like you're a nazi", then they argue with each response and it just goes into more detail why they're nazis
brb gonna get famous for writing "Older Man's War: Part 4: A New Hope", hey Alexa write me a script.
Oh hey, the guy in the mirror is waving at me and I think he wants me to break the mirror. I'm going to break it, what could go wrong?
Wait, what was the inaccurate prophecy that Jordan (or Sanderson?) fucked up? Been over a decade since I last read the books.
Seek your next evolution, cast out that in you which cringes. The soul of a Poster knows not shame.
The abject cowardice is really starting to wear away at my patience with these fucks.
Yeah, I left breadcrumbs over there ages ago and haven't looked back. If folks don't want to come over here, eh, I've got more than enough to follow already anyways.
I hate everything about this. Every day a new horror. Every horror more stupid than the last. Every level of stupidity a new challenge for the administration to surpass. And every day they find a way to do so.
Ooh, pretty! I've got one that has a hook on the opposite side as well so that you don't have to reach a finger through for certain knots, but it's nowhere near as shiny. I don't use the hook often anyways, might have to upgrade aesthetics...
The glowing red burner on the stove is calling out to these people like the Green Goblin mask, can't wait to see how they get burned this time.
I hope the eagles somehow also win the Daytona 500
I guess this is why Type O Negative wrote that song about the "Body of Christ"
Every once in a while I see something I wrote 20+ years ago and cringe hard, then either fix it or remove it. Not sure why people find this so hard. Compassion costs $nothing.
if youre a huge dumb racist youre like theyll dilute my culture but your dumbass ~~culture~~ is spending all its energy trying to delete pronoun words from email signuatures so sorry buddy you are an idiot and your culture is primarily useless garbage and the good parts are mostly from diasporas
I am genuinely uncertain of whether this is satire or real and I have absolutely no desire to find out. Who am I kidding, I know in my heart that it's real. :(
oh no. Don't speak this into reality. oh no.
Totally agree there. I take steps where I can to try to bring more normality and less judgment towards things, but ultimately I have to exist in the society we inherited and shaped together, and at least for me that entails some sacrificing of being able to be fully authentic with all people.
While I get this, there are certain types of folks whose work lives would be threatened if they merge their work and personal lives - for instance, I'm relatively active in the BDSM community, and that could have severe professional ramifications for me were I to cross the streams. I prefer caution.
Look, if I gotta hate MY haunted shell, it's not fair if anyone else doesn't, so it's a moral duty to hate them for it, or something. I dunno, TERFs are weird as fuck.
A hearty “fuck you” to anyone who moves their own Overton window to accommodate fascism - or just because they’ve always secretly wanted to. I’m looking at the so-called liberals using the R word - you should be fucking ashamed of yourselves.
Fucking perish, AI bubble. The world is awful and nothing is going right, we deserve at least this one, it's in the realm of possibility. Let the AI trend die in ignominy where it belongs.
One bishop, in one church, literally just asked the president to be nice and him and everyone in his circle been melting down for a week. These aren't strong people. They're very, very weak people. They can be beaten.
Yeah. We kept letting folks push and not *technically* be breaking any rules/laws while making every discussion space miserable, and at a certain point we just have to say "you are making this place suck, you aren't here in good faith, and you don't belong here" to these fucks.
Honestly, I can't imagine a disappointment greater than walking into a child's room and finding a squad of Ultramarines. I'd disown them then and there.
May the odds be never in their favor.
Worse! They'll make The Children play Warhammer, sending them spiraling into debt to Games Workshop. That's un-American - debt is for school and medical bills! BRB, staring into the middle distance with a haunted look in my eyes, forever.
This is offensively disingenuous. Your fuckrag of a newspaper did more to ensure his reelection than many if the superpacs in his pocket, and NOW you care about accountability? The fucking gall.
none of this shit matters in the slightest. they are not holding Trump or his minions accountable. Hegseth is getting through. You fuckers and your newspaper are half the useless slime that brought us here and I hope you feel the shame in your bones
This was not the midlife crisis I anticipated having.
Fuck, I didn't know this was A Thing. Does having dyed hair offset the beard? Fuck my life, have people been thinking I'm a chud??
... I have bad news regarding dysfunctional societies.
Came to comments to post essentially the same thing. I've never seen him pushing any product/service beyond books he enjoyed, nor seen the "must grow my audience/influence" brain poison in his posts. He's really just someone whose posts I frequently find insightful, and that's how I perceive/engage.
Pouring, empty cups, etc. Anyone who gets mad at folks for resting or for finding what happiness they can isn't doing The Cause (any of 'em, take your pick) any favors. Enjoy your respite from All This! :)
That's no friend. Find, scold, sever.
Serious oversight that you can't be your own Sultan cultist.
I made the mistake of playing Phantasy Star 4 before 2 as a kid, and it made some of 2's rough edges a bit harder to press through - mainly the brutal difficulty curve. Might have to try it again sometime, now that I appreciate harder games a bit more.
This is quite possibly the funniest review ever, and also how I found out that CoQ released 1.0, congrats!
Folks, no celebrity crypto currency has ever not been a scam, but I have a good feeling about this next one
Good time to remind folks you can buy Caves of Qud & Dwarf Fortress together in the Best Patch Notes Bundle store.steampowered.com/bundle/38314...
I still don't understand who the fuck actually wants this. It's already miserable enough getting around downtown.
Bend the establishment to our will via food crimes. For every good position, a traditional burrito ingredient. For every bad one, something insane.
Strong "for every guitar you don't play, I'll play six" energy.
Extremely similar vibes. We have failed in the eyes of Cat and Goose alike.
I legit hadn't even noticed that this place didn't have gif embeds til you posted that. Tragic.
Fair warning, when this monstrosity inevitably appears in my nightmares, I'm going to curse your name.
D'aww. This is the most wholesome cross-promotion I've ever seen.
I'm very grateful that Bluesky will let me use this for my user name. It's like 7 characters too long for Discord, which was breaking my heart. Truly, this is the social media of the future.
The old landlord -> folk hero -> antipope character arch.
I hear radium makes very pretty glow-in-the-dark ornaments, and the orphans will love the taste of the paint!
But if we don't trust AI, OpenAI's Basilisk will replace our hands with AI drawings, forever!
An internet containing only birdsite/reddit/facebook is a terribly cruel fate.
This is an absurdly cringey thing to say. You should probably log off and think hard about why you feel that it would be "defensible moral logic", cause uh.. yikes.
Mike Pence just contorted himself on stage to get out that he fucks. I will NEVER believe that Mike Pence fucks. It is a core tenet of my understanding of this world.
This is a mean, shitty thing to say about Ben Shapiro’s kids
This looks sorta like it's supposed to have some pithy text up top and "TRIGGERED" in Impact font at the bottom tbh. Like one of those awful chud "memes", but about a weiner instead of a failed attempt to own the libs.
*criticals a goblin* "IT'S FINGER-LICKIN' GOOD, BEAST!"
True story. #art #DigitalArt
Is... is this a good faith apology on public social media? Kudos man, it's nice seeing folk being human and actually acknowledging mistakes (even - hell, ESPECIALLY well-intentioned ones) and improving themselves instead of doubling down, I hope this continues to be this site's vibe.
hey man it's me, some dude who doesn't follow you. i saw your post and im pretty sure i recognized some of the words in it, would you like to spend the next two hours arguing with me about some stuff i made up
This exchange was acceptable, and we crave more. Any other platforms that could be sacrificed at the altar to obtain more cat pictures? You got a Facebook? Truth? Maybe Threads?
