Strange racists and homophobes on the internet seem to have access to an alternate way cooler version of TV than me. "every white character on TV is in an interracial relationship" "every show has a gay couple in it" "main characters keep having to secretly be bisexual and nonbinary" "every show has gratuitous full frontal nudity" like damn promise?? What channel???

as a black gay person real like where y'all be finding this stuff pass the name

for real though, those DO NOT WATCH OR YOU'LL CORRUPT YOUR CHILDREN lists put out by conservative christian family groups is where I find all the stellar tv shows. Like, shit I didn't know half of those existed, thanks for finding them for me, gonna go watch 30 hours of gay tv now!

Similar effect for the presence/proportion of women in things, by the way: https://health.howstuffworks.com/mental-health/human-nature/perception/how-17-equals-496-the-amazing-multiplying-women.htm

What’s the solution then? Or if there’s no solution, should we make things even queerer and more diverse?

I say we keep making things queerer and more diverse just in case

on july 4th 1776, america was founded. this has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.

Does he know that Michael helps people? He knows Michael is broke or he wouldn't live there. He knows Michael is sneaky and very good at violence. Sugar turns up saying, 'I need someone with your skills and I can pay you.' I didn't assume he had to have heard that Michael helps people to make that offer.

Contrary to what they think of each other, they can both be professional when required. They just choose not to be when it isn't 🤣

I worked in a supermarket for 7 years and I don't think I can understate just how much cleaning you had to do for it to look clean (it very often where not in the places you aren't supposed to see)

True for food service, retail establishments, gyms, outdoor areas, schools, religious buildings, office buildings, etc. People usually only notice when a space is NOT clean, meanwhile every time a space is clean it’s only because of the diligent work of janitors, maintenance staff, custodians, parks workers, or volunteers.

My dad let Claude convince him to buy a sewing machine off marketplace (which admittedly doesn't need much pushing) and he was like "yeah well Claude pointed out it's $15 to answer a question" and JFC this man is a programmer and used to be a one of the seniors computer systems architects for a federal agency

controversial yet brave-ass take but I think if people still have the fucking AI prompts in their fanfiction or you can literally see the fucking Claude code in their fic than simpering and saying 'it's literally impossible to prove AI use' just makes you look super super gullible

I am very glad that we live in the era where a schism in the Catholic Church is a thing to laugh at on social media and not the prelude to a century or more of bloody religious warfare.
