red flags in a girl:
— hairy legs
— nocturnal
— segmented body
— lives in the air vents
— you've never seen her in full, but sometimes you catch a paw retracting to the vent or spy the glint of a compound eye watching you from the dark
— they've found three bodies drained of all their blood this year

thank you cnn for publishing this piece on what jury nullification is and how to use it to acquit luigi mangione https://edition.cnn.com/2025/01/10/us/jury-nullification-luigi-mangione-defense/index.html

@Aleums that looks cool

it's honestly weird

@FirstProgenitor love too use chatgpt to make my expressions clearer. i also like to use ddt to make local bird's eggshells thicker

the ogbot is the superior ai because if you ask it to make your writing better it will tell you to chuck it in the bin and go fuck yourself

@unlofl that can't be right. interns shouldn't be that articulate and they certainly shouldn't know what fucking is. i'll have to fire at some of them

it's easy to go 'oh, sure is fucked up this nice man turned out to have been a monster all along. weird how that keeps happening' and walk away from the much more difficult possibility that it's not that some people are inherently evil or might at any moment be struck by a cosmic ray and turn so, but rather that there're mechanisms in ou're society that promote, reward, and conceal monstrous behaviour; that it's not the exception but the norm

you see all these posts about how 'this is what abusers' do & i don't think the focus on 'abusers' as if they constituted a cohesive personality type is helpful

@Aleums

@Aleums it's a literary high

if eugen had money mindset he'd set up a hosting business since everyone who has a mastodon instance is perpetually running out of disk space. ofc the problem is that he doesn't know how to manage his own software

you arrive at my house. the living room is painted completely white and lit by a diffuse glow thru half-closed blinds. you don't remember seeing a window on that side of the house when arriving. the only items of furniture are a small square table, a woven mat, and a wooden cross hanging on the wall. i offer you a plate of orange powder. 'it's cheeto dust. feel free to lick it from your fingers'. behind me in the similarly spare kitchen you see on the counter a huge bottle labelled 'BUG POWDER'

from OGDO III

there was this post floating around screencapping another post speculating on how gaiman ended up where he did (short version: he's a goth fuckboi who kept being a goth fuckboi despite the power differential between him & people he fancied growing larger and larger) saying something like how eye-opening it was that sexual abuse isn't always perpetrated by purely evil monsters

mastodon founder and big brain man eugen 'website boy' gargron has relinquished his definitely real job as the ceo of mastodon to concentrate on his passion of making the website worse

still proud of this paragraph in particular. took me i think 2 weeks to get right

rereading KILL AND ONLY KILL and this is really really good huh. and i say this as someone who ordinarily hates reading their own work

there's probably a post somewhere wondering if the achaeans in the trojan horse explored each others' bodies. and to whomever made that post: what a stupid question

@Aleums this is just the kind of thing that is true, and nice
