Absolutely chilling story

The angry part of Bluesky remembered KOSA (now under the Kids Internet and Digital Safety Act, or H.R. 7757) exists but rather yell at you I'll say:

If you have REALLY bad anxiety (like me!), you can call your reps after hours! Voicemail counts! The site 5Calls give you a script to read off of:

The entire power elite of the USA owns this savagery forever, including the theoretical opposition party, unless you beat the drums of IMPEACHMENT for Trump immediately and don’t stop until he’s gone. He’s given you 700,000 reasons now and it’s one of the only tools you have. USE IT.

The same reason college doesn't have a class to teach you Microsoft Teams

The whole world is going to throw this shit at you, and it's likely to change faster than the college can prep to teach it to you properly

But many of the foundational concepts you learn in college are literally timeless

A quick google suggests the Iraq and Afghanistan wars cost Britain about twenty billion pounds, if we’re putting a price tag on it. What did that gain us?

The Telegraph Y @Telegraph. 57m Sir Keir Starmer could pay for 15 new warships or quadruple the size of the British Army by halting this year's £18bn rise in welfare spending, analysis has shown.

“Bombs, not bairns” is refreshingly blunt

The Telegraph @Telegraph •2h "If Donald Trump can stay the course, remain focused and tolerate the short-term market turmoil, a glittering prize awaits." | Telegraph View

Remember folks: opposing 25 years of escalating war, slaughter and horror is insanely extreme and possibly treasonous, a threat that the police need to crack down hard upon. Cheering it all on and baying for more is Sensible, Moderate and patriotic.

Bush and Cheney killed a million people and Harris called his endorsement an honor. The profiteer architect of a war we all marched against. She was screaming into a megaphone that she and her party had no fixed values and everyone I know *still* voted for her. What more do you want from us.

yes yes treason etc but also can we talk about "they'll tell me things my own country won't tell me"

my man, that's called "getting played". you got played

Re9 comic Grace and Leon on opposites site of a gate Leon: Don't worry, you'll be fine Leon: You know how to suplex a guy, right? Grace: umm... no... Leon: oh... but you can parry a chainsaw, yeah? Grace: what?! no!!! Leon, walking away concerned: "oh... well, good luck anyway" Grace looks very sad and pathetic

smh what are they teaching kids these days? 😕 #re9

This video is several years old: Statler passed gently at 34 in 2021 in the arms of his caregiver while napping in the sun. The Bat World sanctuary continues to do great work caring for bats of all ages.

It seems like a common pattern with a lot of these companies trying to poach big established talent is to be like “no budget, no rules, sky’s the limit” then arbitrarily decide that they’ve overspent their blank cheque. There’s a limit, you just won’t know until you hit it.

I feel like every week I’m seeing another production that’s solidly in development with everything stacked in its favour to succeed announce “pencils down, everyone go home”

I was just venting to a friend the other day about how 10 years ago it was like… unheard of to see this volume of projects get so far into development before the company funding it decides “project cancelled, everyone go home” how much money is being thrown away on art no one gets to see?

Ign headline stating gang of dragon may not come out due to netease cutting funding

Insane to go from hyped trailer to studio shutdown in a handful of months??

The asymmetry of the value placed on human life is so striking. Israel has a goal to recover 40-year-old remains; to do so, it invades a sovereign country, and the lives of 26 Lebanese are an afterthought. Their names not even worth printing in the New York Times.

if you went on a rocket ship at light speed in the 80s and came back now (ignoring how long you'd spend looking at porno online) you'd think trump was like dr manhattan or something the way politicians from both major parties implicitly or explicitly defer all agency to him in one way or another

i think that one of the things that nobody in the mainstream talks about (yes i know we complain about it on here all the time if you think this is the mainstream oh boy) is how successfully politicians have divested themselves of any responsibility for anything at all

tech nerds: you fucked up a perfectly good computer is what you did. look at it. it's got anxiety

Fun thing to think about very briefly: who currently has better lawyers, the United States or Nintendo
