Chotiner: and then you didn't send him to jail, and he ran again? USA: I mean yes but we do have pretty robust institutions, you know, the supreme court and so on Chotiner: I see. So they were able to stop the worst of it? USA: Well now it um the thing you have to understand
The space elevator project was funded by the world's billionaires, who were offered exclusive luxury tickets on the first ride up into space. After the launch, the project announced a second funding round, to start looking into the feasibility and advisability of installing a "down" button.

so far this year i have sold two candy corn plugs. Times are tough, so it might just be a bad year, but it may be time to retire them.
That was one of the more alarming phone experiences Iāve had. The company that umbrellas momās various doctors called. I picked up. They dropped into a call about upcoming Medicare changes. Cadence was normal, standard middle American accent. My only flag was they didnāt ask if I was the patient
It was an ai based phone call. And if I was an older personā¦I likely wouldnāt have caught on for several minutes. Now Iām sure this was actually a legit call. Butā¦that level of phone based AI is genuinely scary.
Baby Steps starts as an elaborate shitpost before slowly revealing itself to be a sincere game about male insecurity. A deconstruction of the kind of idealized picture of manhood that video games helped create wrapped in a terrific slapstick comedy. My review. www.polygon.com/baby-steps-r...
This is doing the rounds in Brazil at the moment, so I'm learning a bunch of ways to say "I wish that were me" in Portuguese.
Christian 1: well, we did it. No more pagan gods. A universal faith Christian 2: sure is buddy. The holy gospel. God's truth. Just the father, the son, and the holy spirit. Who of course proceeds from the father and from the son Christian 1: the fuck did you just say

It is hard to explain how much people who want us to believe they are very intelligent think like this: this one guy was super nice to me, a person with a lot of power. Obviously, there stands a good and moral individual!
Thinking about it, I am fairly confident my permanent distrust of AI is rooted in my ability to write regular expressions. Itās not a hard or exotic skill, just a kind of multitool, but itās rooted in trying to give THE CLEAREST INSTRUCTIONS POSSIBLE and watching them go horribly wrong.
when she returned, i flourished a matching pillowcase at the bed and said a few magic words, 'fumbling' the case on the last one 'oh no! i dropped it!' *bends down to pick up pillowcase, flips up comforter to reveal matching sheet in place* 'or DID i?!?' she laughed, i smiled, worth it
he he he i did a little magic trick where i put the just-washed fitted sheet on mom's bed while she was in the bathroom (cat had peed on it earlier) i made the bed back up to look untouched (comforter draped over everything, pillows back in place)
If you're a cis person who wants to be kind to your trans and nonbinary friends right now, please do not forward us links to stories about trans people being abused, having their rights taken away, or living in fear. We already know. A friendly "hey I hope you're OK" is much more helpful. š
I would say Iām joining the war on autism on the side of autism but I was actually drafted into the war at birth
I have taken the Tylenol that was in the medicine cabinet and which they think probably is the reason you like trains forgive me but thatās bullshit you got autism from your dad
I'll continue to be "I do not regret to inform you that we are going to win"-posting, so figure I should address this point that seems to come up every so often Q: "is it still 'winning' if only *some* good things happen in the near term instead of total planetary eco socialist revolution?" A: yes
One of my favorite fun facts is why the TMNT are named after artists (itās because the type of turtle they are is a āpainted turtleā). I told my nephew about this and he immediately replied that there should be a Bob Ross turtle. So rather than explain the renaissance movement to him, I-
Sigh. No it doesnāt and this continues to be weird eugenist garbage that Nazis LOVE. You cannot judge someoneās morality by how they look and it enforces very dangerous stereotypes in both directions to do so. Stop this shit.
Why are they so afraid of autism. Is it the swag. Is it the autism swag
Are they just jealous because they wish they had a cool hobby that gave them sincere joy
Listen sometimes the most life affirming and Jewish thing you can do is simply be who you are without shame.
I think we should all let ourselves have a moment of pride and hope. They brought Kimmel back without forcing him to apologize or donate to Kirkās wife, which was their stipulation at first. Collective action, protesting, and boycotts forced their hand. Celebrate the wins!!
Shanah Tovah, New York City. Here's to a sweet and hopeful New Year.
I love this genre even though I hate when they put ears/feathers/etc on animal skeletons because they're SO inaccurate they loop back around to good! They look like a necromancer built a new animal with spare bones they had lying around. Good mix of silly and creepy.

ah, i see it now! that IS nice. i had just typed in the address and got an exterior shot, no graffiti, no indication that it was or ever had been a business :P
this is encouraging, but i can't actually find that in maps š¤·
Only 1 person in the whole study went from identifying as trans to not identifying as trans. The 1/5 number came from youth going between the binary and non-binary spectrum. This headline and post are misleading on purpose to fit the economist's editorial bent on the political issue.

Youāre much closer to becoming disabled or homeless than you are to becoming rich and wealthy. Itās not a moral failing. Itās not something you can ātry harderā your way out of. We need robust social supports & safety nets to ensure everyone is properly cared for.
Folks saying "why did it take Kimmel for folks to get upset?!?" Like are y'all new here? š š I thought we all understood why well trained activists tell folks to put the white folks upfront and in the frontline of most protest actions?? They ain't moving until they see themselves in the victim

Almost inevitably, a white liberal pundit who finds a way to āhear outā or āfind commonalitiesā with white supremacists eventually starts saying depraved shit. I need to understand why thatās not the last strike for white people that it is for Black political observers.
my wife and i both have a mutual understanding that once Hades 2 releases, we won't be seeing each other for weeks
okay so if you have the very latest update, what you do is right-click on any tab and scroll down to select the "Unload Tab" feature. it leaves it in place but grays it out. so it's not taking up any space but once you need it again you just click back into it and wake it back up
I have implemented Firefox's new "unload tab" feature a hundredfold and I'm devastated to report that it's life-changing, it turns out the problem was in fact me
You might see several artists mad about the bluesky policy update banning non-con, even artists who do not make that kind of material, and wonder why it's such a problem. If that's you, here is a quick breakdown: š§µ
#everybikeisbeautiful and this one knows it
Thatās my ride in the background, and by a crazy coincidence itās also the best bike around.
Even if you don't give a fuck about the human rights of trans people, diagnosing trans people as the reason Dems lost is inaccurate, and if you're working from that inaccurate info, you're going to implement the wrong fix.

I hope some newspapers use a crop where you can easily read the sign.
i also watched a bunch of cute and funny lego building videos š¤· lego bricks didn't show up in my nightmare either i was up and down half the night with fussy cat, that could be it? (nightmare not cat related either, at least)
was purred on by kitty, played some game, browsed the Distraction Firehose of bsky, nightmare has mostly faded away. (it touched on a phobia, so it'll be a while.) not sure what prompted it. last night i did watch 'horror' media that i didn't find viscerally horrifying, and nightmare was unrelated

guinevere scwibble
If we're JUST talking about stars you can see with the naked eye on Earth, and assuming Orville's not lying here... that's 9,000 Guineveres' memories accessible by any of one them. Hopefully not like, constantly? Not existentially terrifying at all! Good thing they're not sentient... ...Right?
[ cn : knights of guinevere spoilers ] also am i just reading way too much into guinevere being (in) every single story available to these people. as if she metaphorically IS story, in a hobbled sort of way
[ cn : knights of guinevere spoilers ] is the sprawling commercial empire the whole . . point, of the park planet(s) ? are they in service to keeping Scrungly in check, for some reason? which is the higher priority, money or control
[ cn : knights of guinevere spoilers ] if guinevere stands in for art, is she simply impossible to kill? is she an essential part of the mainframe that runs all the other androids? is she some alien thing, not yet fully understood? can she only be bowdlerized
[ cn : knights of guinevere spoilers ] it's not clear why Scrungly Guinevere is kept instead of destroyed. why must olivia keep 'fixing' her, over and over? they have other androids that work well, it seems. why is this one so important ?
[ cn : knights of guinevere spoilers ] meanwhile the heiress, olivia? (i'm bad at names) was taken from somewhere and forced to inherit the megacorp. it's not clear if having an heir was the point, or just a sop, and she was kept for something else expensively important to oliver(?)
[ cn : knights of guinevere spoilers ] metaphorically, the guineveres are art that is only allowed to be pretty, happy, and maximally marketable. any attempt to show honest distress is hidden away or 'fixed' or simply melted back down into more merch
[ cn : knights of guinevere spoilers ] in at least the last two options, it seems likely that the central computing . . . entity? . . . is in distress. but, literally unable to express it via almost any guinevere. they all have either limiters or simply lack the, vocabulary if you will
[ cn : knights of guinevere spoilers ] about guinevere herself, we have either a 1) shared database, but independent drones 2) shared mainframe, and PARTIALLY independent drones or 3) single processing center and all the androids are effectively limbs of the same entity
[ cn : knights of guinevere spoilers ] add in the possibility that she's sick, and andi's a horrible, messy tragedy all set up to happen š i really like her!! i hope she and franki come out okay!! i . . doubt that will happen š¬
[ cn : knights of guinevere spoilers ] and, hoo boyyy am i worried about andi. possibly some unaddressed caretaker fatigue that could backfire on franki, plus it's heavily implied that andi is/was passing off franki's talent as her (?) own - metaphorically plagiarism
[ cn : knights of guinevere spoilers ] is this 'because you're mentally ill'? 'because you're my relative / because of your origin'? 'because you work for the gift shop' (doesn't seem to make her a crownie, unlike working at the labs) is there some additional underclass thing going on?
[ cn : knights of guinevere spoilers ] also she might have memory problems, and i'm worried about the 'can't go easy on you . . especially because' - i don't recall. was it who you are? what you are?
[ cn : knights of guinevere spoilers ] i'm worried most about franki (but it's pretty close) her? (i didn't catch pronouns) occasional inability to see dangerous things as dangerous is GONNA be a problem especially if guin represents art/storytelling
i have Thoughts about knights of guinevere swirling around in my head, starting to settle out spoilers below:

i'm thinking it might be wiser to make myself stay awake another three or four hours at least, but what i really want is to tuck in for a nap š„± of course then i'll probably have trouble sleeping tonight. but dangit, hard to keep eyes open.
i am awake, and have been trying to get my sleep schedule more in sync with mom's so she can do more things she wants to, but i had trouble getting to sleep last night so i'm still tired :c and mom is snoring away on the other side of the room and it sounds so soothing (she didn't sleep well either)
I had never really thought about the fact that The Lord of the Rings is the 500,000+ word version of āthe masterās tools will never dismantle the masterās houseā but hereās the explanation.
A dildo is an object designed to give pleasure by thrusting. a plug is an object designed to give pelasure by staying in place. A vibrator is an object designed to give pleasure by vibrating. Therefore, art is plugs and public transit is dildos. Washing machines are vibrators.
you know how there's always someone in the friend group who has a job that you, like . . . at best 20% understand what they do? my friend Sarah was like "oh I was out late last night celebrating a big win at work" and it turns out she's been working for years on this Western regional power grid???

As an intellectual exercise, I have signed up for a protest in a foreign country I have never been to and will not be in using a throwaway email address, and will post all emails that I receive to that throwaway email address here.
(I realized after I did this that Europe has stronger data protection laws and this may impact the email I receive, so here is a parallel test in the US).
toddler kitten started yelling, i picked him up and tucked him under my blanket, now he's industriously washing himself behind the small of my back good morning, chonk. let the humans go back to sleep.
it's so funny to see America's health insurance companies be like "look. If there's one thing we love it's denying you care. but we ran the numbers - and we cannot BELIEVE we're saying this - and it's cheaper for us to just pay for the vaccines than deal with you going to the ER."
Guys who's your fave youtuber to recommend when you need to introduce people to trans rights, science etc? Looking for something funny and captivating, not just cold facts. I can think of lots of adjacent stuff but not a specific video
The only hope of uniting this country is in our shared hatred of health insurance companies. We should lean into that.
