found out that my mother in law decided she was aggressively pro trans rights literally by going, I don't know anything about this but everyone who is against trans rights is also against free school lunch, the issue I know and care a lot about, so this must be the correct way to feel about this

LRS: that all right there is why my opinions on piracy differ by medium. Book? Do NOT let me catch you. Video games? It's up to regular people to save them from their owners.

Now is the time to care about everyone, not “once we win” The time to care about everyone is always always always now

I believe quite strongly that there is no such thing as ethical AI use, and I've never met an author I respect who disagrees with me. This is bad

this is true and i would add to the reply guy survey: are you engaging in useful discourse or did you just want to correct a woman

Weird how people who are "brutally honest" and "tell it like it is" are never the guy driving the car

Every time I see a thread full of liberal homophobia like this one, I lose some of my faith that we can make a better world.

All I could think of.

stop offering me 10% off my first purchase when i’ve been on your site for less than ten seconds! if it pops up again ten seconds later, i’m leaving.

So many people clearly miss saying “gay” as an insult and it shows.

I once asked a priest to bless a printer that I was in the middle of fighting with and he went "I only bless things when there's a chance it'll take" and then turned and walked out of the room.

Hey you ever read a perfect book synopsis?

i find it very funny that, canonically, the last character in this comic strip would be required by his belief system to murder you the instant you admitted to having used any kind of AI for any purpose

If spite is the only thing that works right now then use spite. If spite doesn’t work for you, don’t use spite. Live. No matter the reason. Doesn’t matter if it’s to see another sunrise, to see your cat grow up, to piss off the feds, or to prove to yourself you could. Live.

It will never stop being funny to me that the street fighter subreddit has a much better, well reasoned ai policy vis a vis literally all universities.

From the archives: [At the gay club] HIM: “Dude, what’s in your pocket?” ME: “Oh, I’m just doing the handkerchief code thing.” HIM: “That’s a semaphore flag. Where did you even get this?” [Meanwhile, at sea] SAILOR: “Sir, the merchant frigate has indicated that it’s a bottom into blowjobs.”

Butlerian Jihad makes more and more sense every day that passes

The horse op-ed is an instant classic. I can't tell you how much joy this piece gives me. It should be taught in every introductory writing class in no small part because the horse arguments are so compelling. "I have noticed that human children get to eat cake. But I am bigger than the children."

i think a cool thing is that every time some right winger is revealed to have, let’s say, a non-normative sexuality, i get to hear what liberals really think about me but feel they can’t voice :)

The God-Emperor of Mankind is a solid #2 pick for Worst Dad in Science Fiction, but i feel like Worf still clinches the title.

It really is either you support trans rights or you support Hitler 2.0

first they came for Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, and I said nothing, but i did laugh quite a lot

I doubt any of the three people following me do this, but if you do - give this man some data and also follow him if you aren't

Cards games are neat

I just wish more leaders were ashamed, and more artists angry.

Dwarf Fortress hotfix patch.

The CTO of Bluesky(!) completely misunderstanding the Torment Nexus post is the most profoundly on-the-nose thing I’ve seen in ages. I’m not even sure it’s actually funny!

200 billion dollar valuation btw💀💀💀

In the wake of Indiana University's crackdown on student journalism, one alum cancelled $1.5 million in bequests, and another is putting the brakes on a $300k gift. www.indystar.com/story/news/e...

TLDR; The PSF has made the decision to put our community and our shared diversity, equity, and inclusion values ahead of seeking $1.5M in new revenue. Please read and share. pyfound.blogspot.com/2025/10/NSF-... 🧵

If you told Hegseth that people like him were the reason Sun Tzu wrote The Art of War he'd probably think it's a compliment.

i actually want birth rates to keep going down specifically because it makes weird guys sad

if no one ever burned another American flag they'd just loop old footage of flag burnings and call Democrats the flag burning party as long as they thought that might get them a vote. stop pretending reality matters and start playing the damn game.

So here's the thing Bluesky..... for a site that swears up and down it's better than Twitter, you're falling into the same bullshit as Twitter.

I also wish ill on JK Rowling. Just a fraction of a fraction of the total harm she's caused. It would still be a lethal amount.
