The state of Georgia believes it is a felony to say that Jonathan Salcedo murdered a protestor at Cop City. So do not, under any circumstances, say that Jonathan Salcedo is a murderer who murdered a protestor at Cop City.

I dunno what you want me to say:

A fascist got himself elected president of the United States, did a bunch of fascist shit, and then tried a type of coup known as an autogolpe - a coup to keep a strongman in power anti-democratically. Instead of putting that guy's ass in jail, we're putting him all over our TV under the logic that "he's running for office, so stopping him is anti-democratic."

In many ways, Weimar Germany would laugh at how weak WE are; so the comparison is more than apt.

Give a man a fish, and Republicans immediately blame you for inflation. Teach a man to fish, and they call you a woke Marxist and pass a law banning Fishing Studies.

If you can't handle someone else's gender identity, maybe you need to work on your own insecurities.

Google’s vision for the future of search shows how generative AI is all about increasing corporate power.

Instead of sending you to different websites, Google has scraped the open web to generate plagiarized answers to keep you looking at ads on Google. We need to stop being distracted by AI hype and fantasies about intelligent machines, so we can push back on the real threats before it’s too late.

Kind of feel that if we have to live in an age where a politician can just say anything and live in a crazy fantasy world where it's assumed true, it's such a shame that the lies are all so fascisty and boring and not like "vote for me, literally all of you will be an astronaut in my term" or something

The Republicans is goneeeeeeeeeeeeeee.they're all white supremacist and white supremacist sympathizer.

Was today years old when I found out NEC added IEEE FP16 to the third generation of NEC vector engines...

I wants it 😈

Unfortunately no direct type arithmetic support (storage format and conversions only) but still a good candidate for mixed precision

This is the 2nd time recently I've been working in this coffee shop & I swear they're trying to kill me. Last time it was all Bikini Kill & the Gossip & Yeah Yeah Yeahs and basically my dream playlist of fierce female-fronted music of a certain vibe, and now they are literally going song by song through my high school consciousness. We've had the Cure, the Specials, New Order, Joy Divis, even that one Sonic Youth song from the Planned Parenthood benefit album from 1992.

Can you marry a place?

Just had a guy and his two kids in the shop, the oldest was 4 1/2, she told me so proudly ... She had a beautiful lavender cardigan on and matching socks ... I told her I loved that colour, we had a little chat about purple and all the purple things we have ... Then she asked me "are you a girl?" ... I looked at her dad and said can I let her know, he said yes

I crouched down to her level and said "that's a nice question you asked" ... and then said "I was born a boy, yuck, and for many reasons I always felt like a girl" ... Her eyes lit up, and I got a huge hugz and she whispered in my ear, "you're a girl"

I am more than likely the first trans person she has met, I made her feel comfortable and listened to ... one at a time ... Her dad thanked me for being kind.

Never dismiss a childs question, you might feel they are abrupt, they are not, they just want to know

First impression are important

Hugz & xXx

Actual poll: overwhelming majorities support laws prohibiting discrimination against trans people.

WaPo headline and reporter's tweet: "Most Americans support anti-trans policies favored by GOP."

Just straight-up lying.

There's been a lot of talk today about Henry Kissinger's upcoming 100th birthday, but I've yet to see Anthony Bourdain's quote about that war criminal scroll by, and it can't be shared enough.

This Week:
—FL GOP banned DACA status lawyers from practicing law
—NC GOP legalized voter discrimination against Black citizens
—TX GOP gave the Governor power to unilaterally overturn election results

THIS WHAT FASCISM AND ELECTION FRAUD LOOKS LIKE.

Abolish the filibuster—Pass Voting Rights.

Since the GOP is so big on "parental rights" these days, maybe they could push for the right of parents not to have to bury their children.

It was Thursday night and we were chilling on the intellectual dark web. Jordan was torrenting the James Watson bootleg that just dropped. Pinker was like “You know what doesn’t matter in science anymore?” Cowen guessed “GRE scores?” but no and Lindsay said “the art of the blade?” and everyone was all wait how the fuck did he get back in here and by the time that got sorted it was bedtime but when Pinker dropped a truth bomb “merit” we knew there would be no sleep to be has for us that night.
