Gavin Newsom is not going to earn the transgender vote

Instead of yelling at transgender people, you can take one of two actions:

1. you can wager that your preferred candidate can win without the transgender vote

or

2. you can use the two years ahead of you find a better candidate to promote

Israeli soldiers were killed by brown people terrorism while Lebanese buildings simply disintegrate and Iranian school girls spontaneously stop being alive - similar to how Palestinian babies just instantly combust in well-documented examples written up by the NYT.

NO NO NO YOU DON’T

Wait... did I mention this before in a reply to a different post?

I'd bet this was initially just a way for 2010 to get around the fact that the 2001 novel's Discovery went to Saturn, but the vastly more popular film's went to Jupiter.
But in the end, it also freed Clarke up to just write the dang books without having to worry about continuity issues.

It might be good to consider how Arthur C. Clarke defined the canon of the Space Odyssey series (or, rather, his refusal to definitively do so).
Basically, he considered each book the series to be in its own timeline, sharing major events (but not necessarily details) with the prior books.

Investors: "Anyway, we were so impressed that we invested the entire planets' economy in this, if it fails you're all cooked."

Bsky labeling my posts about how evangelicals are trying to bring about the apocalypse as ‘intolerant’, even though it’s confirmed that that’s what evangelicals like Pete Hegseth are trying to achieve in Iran.

Keep being trash Bsky.

a four-panel stick-figure cartoon panel one: three standing figures. from left to right, a guy wearing a necktie looking at his phone, an angry MAGA guy yelling FUCK YOUR FUCKIN POST FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU, and a rando just standing there like an NPC. panel two: the guy looking at his phone shows MAGA guy his hand, causing MAGA to vanish. the word Block hangs in the air where fuckface once was. a green-bordered in-game message appears, reading "+2 Mental Health." now the rando is suddenly interested. panel three: as our man continues doom-scrolling, a sly grin on his face, the rando on the right puts on a punch-me face and snarls: "Typical lefty, blocking everyone who disagrees with-" panel four phone guy shows the hand to punch-me face, causing the rando to vanish. the word Block hangs in the air where that dickhead was. a green-bordered in-game message appears again, reading "+2 Mental Health."

A US court ruled against Google in the case back in 2023, and the remedies announced in 2024 threatened to upend Google’s Play Store model. It tried unsuccessfully to have the verdict reversed, but then Epic came to the rescue. In late 2025, the companies announced a settlement that skipped many of the court’s orders. Epic leadership professed interest in leveling the playing field for all developers on Android’s platform. But US District Judge James Donato expressed skepticism of the settlement in January, noting that it may be a “sweetheart deal” that benefitted Epic more than other developers. The specifics of the arrangement were not fully disclosed, but it included lower Play Store fees, cross-licensing, attorneys fees, and other partnership offers.

one of those classic reminders that when a big company says their lawsuit is for the people: it isn't

Only if their heirs go with them, unfortunately. Which is something I would not object to if it happened.

And guess what, I meant it.

"The CIA conspired to make me less cool than I was when I was 25" is the most succinct Gen X manifesto I've ever heard

If your stick is more than 8GB, I'd recommend Ventoy instead. Set it up once on the stick, and you can just toss ISOs onto it and use them from Ventoy's boot menu. Multiple distros, multiple versions of Windows, memtest, bootable ClamAV, etc. all on one storage device.

Vista SP2 is the best version of Windows ever.

If/when Windows tanks, that's also going to take down everything else except Azure, LinkedIn, and about half of Xbox. And Azure's revenue will go down a bit as well because people will be switching from Windows VPS to Linux VPS.

losing a primary by FIFTY points because you backed ICE should tell everyone where the zeitgeist is right now

A lot of blaming voters, not enough blaming voter suppression

There are some really good accordion players out there. Most famously in the United States, of course, is Weird Al Yankovic. And there are at least four skilled covers of Dragonforce's Through the Fire and Flames on YouTube.
Of course, we can't really expect Blue to meet those standards...

Keep saying "slop" in reference to AI.

At every opportunity.

The techbros are listening, and this word makes them so sad on the inside that they'll hoist themselves on their own Streisand Effect petard.

New stupid scam alert. Scammers are now reaching out trying to get photos of your face to deep fake videos and con your friends and followers out of $$$ through counterfeit accounts. Fucking ridiculous.

To quote the incomplete (yet released) surreal comedy Casino Royale, "This gun shoots backwards. I just killed myself."

I also feel like liberal news outlets and commentators seem to be more fixated and critical on Trump lying about being anti-war than, yknow, starting a fucking war.

The cops will say they need more money and then spend that money sending officers to stand near medical emergencies doing nothing but getting in the way at best. At worst, they find a way to criminalize the person having the emergency.

According to payment processors, purchasing fictional sexy art is grossly immoral.

Betting on school children getting blown up is fine though.
