Harper to the judge: "Your driver's license doesn't list your height and weight at birth. It doesn't list where you used to live. It identifies who you are now."

More hedgehogs. These two big lads are evidently getting territorial ahead of potential mating opportunities. #TinyJoys

I wrote an 8500 word article that picked up nearly 5 million views in its first weekend, leading to a Hollywood option. 80% of readers made it to the end. It still trends sometimes.

Hey, weirdly argumentative liberals demanding the left stop bringing the tattoo up: the right will not hesitate to do this level of opposition research, and even the ones who are Nazis themselves will decry him, because he’s proof the libs are the “real Nazis.” Do not do their fucking work for them.

Cinder, my sweet shy ginormous void floof turns positively dill pickle green every time his litter bro Crow (sleek shiny void boss of all of us) eats anything people food. Along with looking baffled & betrayed at how his beloved sibling could possibly Do That, in front of him...for going on 13 yrs

This is real bad and we should absolutely be prepping for far worse in November—

I have this pet peeve that well-paid white guys in air-conditioned cubicles have no threat models and so never ask "Can this feature be used to harm women/ children/ minorities/ queers?" They don't care. They don't have to. Well-paid white guys ARE the threat.

this should be the end of the Gavin Newsom 2028 discussion. the party has spoken, full stop

Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM

It’s tiring that we are increasingly stuck organizing our intellectual lives around arguing for the value of having an intellectual life

I am once again tapping the "support independent, worker-owned, billionaire free news" sign. the most powerful people in the world should not be deciding whether or not we know about this sort of thing. putting Marisa's subscription link below

Platner as the nominee in Maine would make it harder for national Democrats to tear into this fucking guy.

No Nazi shit.

Stop fucking around.

If Platner had removed this fucking tattoo 20 years ago & spent the rest of his life engaged in de-radicalization & anti-Nazi efforts & had not posted racist & sexist shit 13 years ago & was not currently going on podcasts that spread antisemitic conspiracy theories...

But we live in THIS world.
