might be 7 year old news but damn tiger woods mugshot is not very flattering

the idea of kids potentially being radicalized by terrorists through ostensibly Roblox (or any similar thing) is terrifying, because I know there are kids in my life who could be susceptible to that if exposed to it, and there probably are in your life too. And it's tempting to just do a prohibition and block off the apps, but that has its own problems and probably doesn't really meaningfully stop it

i mean theres a lot of problems that could happen, radicalization is just one -- it seems like its more important than ever before to give kids the tools to recognize and avoid or be resilient to that sort of manipulation, otherwise we're going to have a generation of hardcore nazi dipshits in a few years

pointing out the hypocrisy of white supremacists or christian nationalists doesn't do anything. it doesn't undermine them in any way, because why should they care that they're hypocrites?

what you need to do is live your best life in spite of them, and not allow them the power to do anything about it, and have representatives who won't bend over backwards for them -- make them toxic to be associated with

can you europeans do me a favor and stop tilting hard right wing? you canadians and americans too

They want you to side with the airline against the workers, and you should resist that urge https://www.thestar.com/business/westjet-cancels-at-least-150-flights-after-mechanics-begin-strike-despite-ottawas-order-for-arbitration/article_73823ce0-35b7-11ef-973a-1381b5134d19.html?utm_medium=social&utm_source=copy-link&utm_campaign=user-share

why isnt there colour combinators for the 🍄emoji?

how are you supposed to distinguish between "this one makes you larger, this one makes you small, and the ones your mother gives you don't do anything at all" with no colours

you know how hoarding material objects is pretty stigmatized and sometimes considered to be a disorder?

why isn't that true of the hoarding of corporate acquisitions

does your phone manufacturer's shareprice reflect how much you hate your phone and everyone else's phone?

so we've all learned a lot of valuable lessons since last time right?

if you like my quasi informed hot takes on things, you should tell me how to actually make a difference instead of just being sad about the general state of things, with the *flails arms* everything

in a major tone switch from my rant this morning, my homegirl made a tool to help out some speedrunners, putting her NES romhacking knowledge and python coding skills to good use. So that's pretty cool.

you should give it a like and encourage her to do more hacking, in games and beyond. If you want, I'm not a cop

#fedivision2024 and that's the end of the list... there's a lot of fun/interesting writing, good composition, different emotional states, and different influences and styles. We got like, zombina and the skeletones, we got devo, we got journey, we got (pick your favorite britpop band, don't want to offend anybody), berlin techno, jams, megaman music... I wanna say conscious hiphop that isn't quite in college lecture territory? we got some bowie-esque stuff.. I mean there's a lot here @_@

i stg weve heard all this shit before in our own short lifetimes. "buhhhh existential threat. buhhhh we are justified and measured in the destruction of an entire people. buhhhh hamas is actually comparable to the empire of japan and pose an existential threat to _____" how is this different from "they got wmds, send in the kids and blow shit up"

#bandcamp could have like an option to subscribe to weekly digests for specific accounts, instead of every single item they release

don't listen to the university admins, kids

its fucked up that like 200 different talkshow hosts get 20 minute monologs/segments about noem killing various innocent creatures, and theyre just chuckling about how horror-movie-villain she is. cant we just say shes a fucking horror movie villain once, at the front, and then move on? no?

partner links me to the fallguys announcement tweet thing, i click on it -- all of my many notifications (have not opened twitter in ages) are nazi/bot freaks pinging me in hateposts with unhinged bigoted trash.

WHO THE FUCK IS STILL ON THIS SITE!?! WHY??!?

it turned out this was the evil mirror universe all along
