for ppl looking at my profile for what i said about how my brain works, it presents Noticeably Enough that my boss shared this new yorker article with me because the descriptions reminded her of me. i hadnt told her anything about how i don't have a visual memory/thought process she just Noticed It.

The American people voted to let daddy hit mommy so they could have candy for breakfast despite him going a little silly in the head. They figured mommy could clean up whatever mess daddy made. Now mommy’s brains are splattered against the wall and daddy pissed in their candy bowl.

okay this is a good bit

boy it sure seems like the main threat to democracy everywhere across the globe is right wing media and certain social media companies

Republicans, they're not like us.

Hey NY-21 Voters: No more Trump lapdogs. Time for change. VOTE BLAKE GENDEBIEN.

while you port and emulate games, I ported Jira to my PSP

In his acceptance speech, Lula says he will work to regulate digital platforms in Brazil. “Digital crimes must be dealt with like real-life crimes.” This comes after Meta directly interfered with the Brazilian elections, favouring Flávio Bolsonaro.

my Portuguese isn't great but I think I can work this out

THEY TRIED LITERALLY EVERYTHING AND THEY STILL LOST

a somewhat underrated long term impact of trump is that a sizeable portion of people have never been politically active in a non-trump world. I have never cast a ballot in a presidential election that didn't have his name on it and I'm almost 30. He's politics to a huge chunk of people.

The whole world no longer smells like cigarettes.

"While it’s true that I’m less guilty of the climate catastrophe than is the head of Exxon, it’s also true…that many of us wish we could simply punish some bad guys for what is, in truth, an 'unsustainable' way of life that we all share and that only a small number of us are willing to give up."

Wisconsin is one of two states I've lived in whose insularity leads to the kind of evolutionary cultural craziness you find in animals in the Galapagos or language in isolated settlements. This is what hath been wrought in the name of sausage

According to a YouGov/UMass Lowell poll released today, 58% of people would support a law banning online or app-based sports gambling and prediction markets (Kalshi/Polymarket was a listed example).

Some cities it's just not worth fucking with

one of the neighborhood dads got one of the 13' Halloween skeletons and i now have some insight into what would happen if one country in a volatile region was first to a nuclear weapon

lol. RAGBRAI has over 20,000 bike riders peddling 400 miles every year—and it is one of the biggest events in the entire state bringing in millions in tourism and economic stimulus to small towns. Also, we have 11 bikes. 🚲 We ride bikes in Iowa, sir.

Sadly, another harvest in Masafer Yatta was not. Settlers attacked Palestinian farmers — but the IDF arrested two of the farmers, and evicted the others from their own land, after declaring it a closed military zone. Sound familiar? It’s happening every single day.

Brewers/Rays is the 8th World Series between teams that have never won one before 1903 Americans (Red Sox)/Pirates 1905 Giants/Athletics 1906 White Sox/Cubs 1907 Cubs/Tigers 1909 Pirates/Tigers 1920 Indians/Robins (Dodgers) 1980 Phillies/Royals 2026 Brewers/Rays (good idea @mikemedvin.bsky.social)

At the same time as the Chi Phi incident, another frat was calling in favors to get the Cornell police department to look the other way on various allegations. Incredible details here from a Cornell Sun alum, including some damning allegations of favoritism from Cornell VP of Student Life Lombardi.

a personal favorite of mine…

(Ralph Wiggum voice) I’m a class traitor!

This year, federal agents terrorized our streets, killed our neighbors, and detained our children. Minnesotans were changed forever. Michele Tafoya thinks ICE treats kids “really well.” I think ICE should be ripped apart and replaced by a system grounded in dignity and due process.

if we’re getting this from mcwhorter then it looks like the worm is turning

The Brewers sweep the Dodgers in the NLCS and are headed to their first World Series since 1982

BREWERS!!!!

I am aware of a generational national trauma!

KIM KITSURAGI - “You need to get your shit together.” YOU - “But I don't wanna get my shit together!” KIM KITSURAGI - “Then the world will turn away from you, and leave you behind.”

I worked with a fraternity at the University of Maryland after something like this. The men “came back” feeling righteous in avenging their collective punishment—and also, more valued by their school than ever. You can imagine how hostile that became for women on campus.

caught up with dungeon crawler Carl. Read 3.5k pages in the past 5 days I'm normal and can be trusted with books

missed National Coming Out Day. but came across this screenshot of the mass email i sent 12 years ago!

If you wanted to run an experiment to see the effect of banning frats, I think you’d want it to run for ~5+ years to have whole cohorts that never experienced the frat system and to allow time for alternatives to develop. Hopeful that this is the start of such an experiment, but not counting on it.
