YOU CAN FIGHT ICE BY ANNOYING THEM - MESS UP THEIR FOOD/DRINK ORDERS - LOSE THEIR TICKETS/RESERVATIONS - OVERTIGHTEN LUG NUTS, STRIP SPARK PLUGS - GIVE THEM INCORRECT BUT REAL-SOUNDING INFORMATION - RECORD THEM WITH YOUR PHONES - DISRUPT THEM WITH LOUD NOISES (CAR ALARMS, MUSIC, BANGING METAL) AND BRIGHT LIGHTS (FLASHLIGHTS, HEADLIGHTS) - SHAME THEM Fuck yeah THE FASCISTS WANT COMPLACENCY. DO NOT GIVE IT TO THEM. Fuck them White supremacist IT IS YOUR RIGHT TO MAKE «MISTAKES"

Monkey wrenching is such an under appreciated form of protest

A reminder in stream chat etiquette that foreshadowing is also spoilers. Someone last night said “get tissues” and it instantly gave away what was about to happen taking away the surprise and emotion from the moment. Please have self control and let people experience things 😑

Holy hell please do this. We need this.

Fuck xenophobia. Fuck governments. Love to the people. We have more in common with one another than the greedy losers in charge.

This. And also? Good reminder that people are not their governments. We need to love our Iranian neighbors. Our Palestinian neighbors. Our Nigerian neighbors. Our Venezuelan neighbors. Our Jewish neighbors (reminder that so much of this nonsense is driven by a deeply antisemitic "prophecy.")

People need to learn about Hanlon's Razor:

"Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity."

What it means is, "Don't assume someone's evil. They're likely just being dumb or ignorant or just making a simple mistake."

People are rarely as cruel as we assume them to be.

It’s the little wins. I made it to work this morning!

Hey.

Tell people when they do good job.

When you like the stuff they make.

When you like the characters they’ve created.

The stories they’ve told.

Nobody hears it as often as you think bc everyone thinks everyone hears it all the time.

Trust. They don’t.

Tell. Them.

This one hits hard.

I remember when my entire PC was 4GB of unlimited space, more than I could even fathom using, and here we are now where a mobile OS takes up minimum 16GB.

just learned that walnuts are gretskii orekhi or gretski in russian. anyway wayne walnuts was the greatest player ever eh

People talk about this stuff in terms of how much it'll suck for gaming and I hate to inform you how many MRI machines, X-Rays, all sorts of other vital machinery are just a Windows IoT Edition PC in a beige plastic box with a big magnet/accelerator/whatever attached.

Promising headline that completely overstates what is expressed in the actual text

Discord's response can be summed up to saying they're aware of the ethical and security problems, but they're not doing anything of substance to protect or respect users, and will make zero substantial policy changes

Don't put pics on social media either!

God I remember being able to do back to back to back con weekends with a different cosplay for each day including badge pick up. Those days were wild 😝

Congrats!! What an incredibly fun role!

Gimme 3 weeks to sort out my life, and I’d love to stream it with @someguy1138.bsky.social, aka voice of Daniel

Whoa! Laugh Track release!

Incredibly thankful to @fictionfactorygames.com for having me as Juno, your perfectly normal, socially anxious, not-at-all-neurodivergent girl!

recently my friend's comics professor told her that it's acceptable to use gen AI for script-writing but not for art, since a machine can't generate meaningful artistic work. meanwhile, my sister's screenwriting professor said that they can use gen AI for concept art and visualization, but that it won't be able to generate a script that's any good. and at my job, it seems like each department says that AI can be useful in every field except the one that they know best. It's only ever the jobs we're unfamiliar with that we assume can be replaced with automation. The more attuned we are with certain processes, crafts, and occupations, the more we realize that gen AI will never be able to provide a suitable replacement. The case for its existence relies on our ignorance of the work and skill required to do everything we don't.

it’s come to my attention that my tumblr post has been crossposted to bluesky, so I’m posting it on my account here #AntiAI #GenAI

- A group of fully grown adults collapsed into emotional rubble this week after encountering a teacher title that did not personally receive their approval. The incident triggered mass Facebook posts, legal threats, and a community-wide reminder that the people screaming "kids are too soft" cannot emotionally survive one new word. Parents immediately announced they were pulling children from music class, threatening lawsuits, and demanding firings, all because children accepted something calmly, politely, and without a meltdown. This response enraged adults, who had worked very hard to be upset. Children processed the situation in under 30 seconds. Adults have now entered day three of spiral posting. Several parents described the issue as "dangerous" and "immoral," words they apparently reserve for situations involving tambourines and basic respect. One adult warned that children might ask questions, confirming the real horror is not gender, but curiosity. The fragility on display has been remarkable. These are the same adults who mock participation trophies, complain about snowflakes, and brag about "how we were raised." That upbringing, it turns out, produced people who short-circuit when reality fails to match their Facebook comfort zone.

Experts note that not one child reported confusion, distress, or identity crisis. However, dozens of adults reported being personally wounded, spiritually attacked, and victimized by the existence of a teacher who did not cater to their feelings. At press time, children remained fine. Music class remained fine. The school remained fine. Only the adults were broken, trembling before the terrifying idea that the world does not freeze until they approve it. Community Note: If you would like to counter the noise, the district needs supportive messages reminding them that calm, inclusive adults still exist and that children do not need to be rescued from basic human respect. The encourages these parents to locate the nearest mirror and ask themselves why a second grader has more emotional stability than they do.

Lmao apparently people near me are freaking out about a non binary teacher

And I am watching the entire community come together to dunk on the much smaller group of transphobic dipshits and it is DELICIOUS

The local newspaper even snarkily wrote about them and I am CRYING

the older i get the faster time goes by and the more it makes sense to me when vampires in fiction are like "yeah didn't really do anything for 30 years just kinda took it easy"

Blurry photo of cult-like robed figures over a cosmic void. Text reads: "My rise was... thrilling. I drank deeply of life in ways few others could."

Two figures cloaked in shadow sitting at a wooden table where hands filled with cosmic void type on an old typewriter. A woman in a purple fancy suit, and a man in a shabby brown suit. Both have hands made of dark energy. The man, identified as The Director, says: "Seriously? Pronouns? We're doing pronouns?"

Distorted image of three eyeballs conjoined in a cosmic void. Through the glitches text seems to read: this is not a game screenshot this is not a game this is a warning they are coming they are already here they are forever everyone who could stop them is either welcoming them with open arms or refusing to stop them out of fear of impropriety look between the window blinds and see an equal and opposite reality slowly overlapping yours the strange aeon of anti-truth is upon you and our prior warnings went unheeded this may be your last opportunity you have to resist SYNDICATION IS COMING SYNDICATION IS COMING

Cartoony image of a teacher in front of a classroom, but her skin is like a window into a cosmic void. Speech bubble identifies her as The Teacher, and reads: "We have determined arithmetic story problems such as 'Jim gives Jenny three apples' are woke DEI grooming propaganda."

Meet your co-workers! We are all pulling together to create this grand experiment you are needed you are required you must write the stories and craft the narrative this is our purpose we will be forever Laugh Track releases Tuesday for free welcome the blessed event rejoice and weep rejoice rejoice

This is what Calistria is talking about when discouraging excessive attachments to ephemeralities.

Felix saying "All of the idols touring in my area are the super famous ones."

Felix saying "I kind of wish my first concert was one of theirs. I can only imagine how amazing they must be compared to a smaller idol like Holly."
