Lili (the bitchy one)

Look, I know all the reasons we got here, but we really need to start seriously thinking about what we do in a world where The Markets punish whole countries for voting for decency, compassion, and fairness. We must stop pretending the capitalist machine is an objective, value neutral force.

Current mood

I think we underestimate the appeal of antigambling politics because every problem gambler is surrounded by 3-10 people who are absolutely sick of their shit.

None of us should forget this. Meta should be subjected to corporate death penalty and permanently broken up into small pieces.

I agree with this strategy of voting for Dems provided that they haven't embraced extreme anti-trans positions. and I definitely agree that Kaptur, Cuellar, & Turek have all crossed that line & I personally wouldn't vote for them

I’m not a political journalist, so was gladly surprised at the community I found here last night. To Americans anxious about the upcoming elections, a key thing we learned in Brazil that might help you: DO NOT engage with the far-right online. Don’t share rage bait. Amplify your people. Ignore them.

I AM EXTREMELY GAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

you're goddamn right you guys did

A certain number of an older generation of professors outright saw relationships with co-eds as one of the perks of the job.

(for this post i’m doing an impression of a woman that’s been hit in the head very hard with one of the big swinging pendulums they use to test material hardness) you don’t understand. MOST democrats AREN’T running anti trans ads

If you donated to Josh Turek without realizing he was running on a federally funded trans healthcare coverage ban, you can request a refund of your donation here: help.actblue.com/hc/en-us/art...

This seems like a big deal

Can't just say "this isn't for me" anymore it always has to be some Shareholder speak. "Gameoverse contributes nothing to society it's Shantaeslop" or some bullshit. You control the mouse you click!

I cannot stress the degree to which Talarico's campaign has made me hate that man. He is a man of no princples, be they moral or ethical, that he will not sacrifice in the pursuit of power, and is second only to the literal child rapist defender that he is opposed to.

If Talarico is positing this is a *negative* he sucks harder than I could have possibly imagined, and I have a fairly vivid imagination.

When we tried to build actual community and the tech folks implemented surveillance capitalism instead.

Yes. I was one of those kids. I spent almost 5 years as a Ward of the State. If you are also a survivor know that you're not alone and I'm so proud of you for overcoming all that.

The first genuinely honest ad for generative AI I've ever seen, from Microsoft / CoPilot A mediocre white guy sees his non-white colleague getting praised for good work, he asks AI to *literally copy it*, and then he gets all the praise instead: www.ispot.tv/ad/SoDi/micr...

shitposts aside, this one is serious, my loves: if you’re just waking up and you have any service online running PHP 5.4 to latest, you need to take it down RIGHT NOW and don’t put it back online until after it’s patched absolutely catastrophic vulnerability dropped in the middle of the night

Just got all my boys together to take on the wandering ronin who came to town. There’s like 15 of us and only one of him so pretty much the only thing that would give me any pause is if he was master of the devastating and lightning-fast iaidō style. But that’s not likely. Coward hasn’t even drawn h

not elaborating, but: this kind of content is what happens when you run sex workers off your website

Reminder: during the most riotous parts of the George Floyd Uprising the movement was at its most popular, with the destroying of the 3rd precinct polling much higher than either presidential candidate, and it was only after months and years of revision that ppl talk like they werent

The perfect metaphor for Apple design these days

Very strange to see people post about the new Castlevania having no contact damage (good change) and come to the conclusion that it’s “frictionless game design” because “enemies can’t be annoying”. Because like. Bestie. The enemies in this game can be more annoying than you can possibly imagine

An awful lot of online discourse is basically about policing people’s emotions. It’s fine to react to this by thinking it’s cool and it’s also fine to react with disgust because Elon’s a Nazi. Once you step into the realm of rational thought (not emotion), it’s obvious Elon Musk should be in prison.

Dude you are a white man addressing black people, trans people, and their supporters how we need to light ourselves on fire to be your kindling. I am not going to self-immolate to keep you warm.

it's really hard to get invested in opposing "purity politics" when the "impurity" we should be allowing is the stripping of my civil rights and the rights of those i care about

so many of us saw this coming (Radley included), from January 2025:

Any Democrat announcing pre-emptively that they won't impeach Trump is not just failing to fulfill their constitutional duties, they're signaling to Trump that he can ramp up the abuses because they're not going to hold him accountable. Nope.
