not today and not tomorrow

being on an airplane is a lot like being in kindergarten

I wanna hear where you're going with this

really losing my patience for any 'feminist' statement to the tune of 'we need feminism because women fill a fundamentally different and necessary role than men and will be better at doing x y or z'. like actually i think we need feminism because it is an unbearable death of the spirit by inches to exist in a world where you are not seen as a fully realized human being because of a single cultural determination, and because a world that enshrines such things creates systems that are fundamentally sick to the core

Example of Tumblr's aging userbase: people complain about prices rising and how things were better in the past and are getting worse all the time (often in spite of contrary evidence!), have often developed a sharp technophobia based on misunderstandings of how technologies work and moral panics about dangers that are not supported by research, and hold strong opinions about the problem being due to moral failings that can be fixed by simply destroying the unvirtuous and showing personal virtue, and also are convinced that the past was both better and also harder, and that kids these days have it too easy (but they feel sorry for them because everything sucks now)

I'm imagining a world where RPGMaker somehow made it as the de facto codebase for software and you have to navigate your banking app by walking around in a huge room full of NPCs named "make deposit" and "make withdrawal" etc and there's loud as fuck stock music playing

In 2026, the chicest thing a gay actor can do is never explicitly come out as gay but also make it abundantly clear that he is. Coming out is too modern. Staying closeted is too old fashioned. But this method merges contemporary freedom with Old Hollywood glamour and allure, and it weeds out the dumbest people who truly don’t get it. I call it the Pascal Method.

Taylor Swift does this

no she doesn’t

You clearly don't go here or to queer history and signaling, or both, enough to have this conversation and I'm not going to explain it to you. You could have asked questions, you could have done even a modicum of research. You didn't and you made yourself look ignorant. Goodbye.

It goes without saying I'm magnitudes more """pro-AI""" than this website's median bloody-minded luddite, but it is fascinating that part of the appeal of having LLMs do web searches for you is that having a power hungry, computationally intensive mathematical miracle hosted however many hundred km away fetch the page for you, read the raw code, generate analysis, and then stream output to back to you is on the whole a faster way to retrieve information than fucking rendering JS in-browser.

And then webdevs have the gall to go and block Claude Code or whatever from downloading their websites because "ohhh 🥺🥺 so much downloading is massively costing us so much in bandwidth 🥺 we just can't afford it as if they can't not but send 150MB of CSS and React gibberish.

if you're not 26 years old right now you will be soon

But I just turned 30.....please......dont make me go back there......

i'm sorry there's nothing we can do about it

girl is that a knife in your hand or are you jerking off your sharp detachable penis in my stomach

People in the notes need to shut the hell up about ai datacenters this is about the US military which you people are clearly not the true victims of so please fuck off and make your own post somewhere I'm not gonna see it.

USAmericans will really see a post about the harm they cause and go "is no one gonna talk about how I'm the real victim here? 🥺" And NOT wait for an answer

Blackout poetry exists on a dual axis from "banal" to "insightful" on the input side and "kind of deep" to "incredibly fucking dumb" on the output side, and while taking something banal and producing something kind of deep is well and fine, for my money taking something insightful and rendering it incredibly fucking dumb is where the real art is.

#i stuck the word 'banal' in there twice specifically so that 'anal' would be low hanging fruit#but i genuinely did not anticipate 'banana' --@prokopetz

picturing a git policy where if your code still manages to compile with this header it doesn't allow you to commit

As I understand it living in LA is one of those cosmically perfect acts where the punishemnt for the crime is the act itself
