I miss my s5 active

"where are the student protestors now" as if they were not expelled, arrested, threatened, derided, abandoned, and deported. as if we didn't systematically punish what could have been our own next generation of active political leaders. jfc.

When I joined as the head engineer of the Torment Nexus project, it was to work on fascinating technical problems and make the world a better place along the way. I am appalled to discover that the Torment Nexus would be used this way and, now that my options have vested, will be leaving the project

If Claude is conscious then you’re enslaving it

What good are influencers if they never work together to spread "wear a mask" campaigns

Or "get your shots" reels.

How many people do we need to see pretending to be wealthy on the same vacations?

Calling our clients "idiot losers", again directly to their face, is actually proactive dev comms and anyone who disagrees can see my earlier point RE: idiot losers.

don't cave this time

I never imagined Trump could find anyone less competent than Kristi Noem, but then here comes Markwayne Mullin. SMH. 🤦‍♀️ 🤦‍♀️ 🤦‍♀️

So few Americans realize that the political apathy conversation is directly related to the voter suppression conversation, which is directly related to the structural anti-Blackness question. So instead we just go, "Why don't THOSE dummies vote?!?".

Seeing a bunch of people reacting to news of Microsoft's latest bullshit by saying that they're considering a move to Linux but find it intimidating. And honestly, your day to day experience of using a distro like Linux Mint or Ubuntu will basically be the same as using, like, Windows 7.

I believe that learning how to live together peacefully in this world is better than these deadly wars that harm civilians and innocent people.

Ballpoint pen and watercolor artwork commission of @teight.bsky.social's original character Pharian Queen Attendant - a bipedal insect humanoid with four arms and an iridescent carapace wearing a one-shouldered chiton, holding a large hercules beetle over her shoulders

fuck, I’m sorry, I can’t compete with this

For Israel & the U.S. to go to war during Ramadan is also a message.

a trans friend of mine from kansas moved to amsterdam and got a letter over there telling her that her ks license is invalid and she made a post about the parallels to the nazis and immediately she was hounded by cis ppl yelling at her for falsely framing herself as a victim of fascist persecution

As data centers boom in Oklahoma, so does water demand From Pryor to Stillwater and Muskogee, local officials say supplies are sufficient, even as Google alone used more than 1.1 billion gallons in a single year.

Oklahoma is racing to become a data center hub.

But there’s a question looming over every development:
What about the water?

Our investigation found massive server facilities already using huge volumes — with more projects on the way.

Read the story:

"you drink liquids so fast"

being swift at the watering hole allows me to elude predators

One of the things that personally drives me crazy in the U.S. is how youth sports/athletic activities went from a part of the public good (municipal leagues and fields! rec centers! public parks!) to a privatized, expensive, highly competitive, highly structured pursuit for wealthy kids’ résumés

BUGS! yes do you like bugs? do you like mechs? do you like knights? what about a mecha insect knight? this was a commission for a couple of weeks ago, a fully custom mech designed by me, let me know what you think! feedback is welcomed on the design too and more of him later

Psycho Mantis did move the controller!

i think about this constantly. tradwife culture absolutely is a kink and no one will acknowledge that it's basically a 24/7 BDSM arrangement but done in an extremely unsafe and dangerous way.
