Why no pronouns? I began writing online when Usenet was a thing. I have always appreciated that online my ideas mattered more than my identity. I maintain that ethos by keeping this, my primary account, free of my gender, race and ethnicity. If you need pronouns for this account, use ze/zir.
How Kavanaugh stops will end: Somewhere in Texas, a bus carrying a HS football team to a critical game will be stopped by the local sherif to "check immigration status." Team will be held until they lose by forfeit.

So basically we have one party who is using the secret police to execute us in the streets, and the other party wants the secret police to be better trained.

Every one of these cowardly clowns should be primaried into retirement.
Every representative who voted yes voted for more brutalization of our neighbors, more kidnapping of our children, more trampling of our rights, and more murder from this government.

This is the thing about the "Don't give them the pretext to send in more feds" arguments. The administration is using its own murder of an unarmed civilian as the pretext to send in more agents. They do not need a pretext and will invent them if they want.

You have to understand that there’s a powerful “Do nothing” faction in the NY Democratic Party (also a national phenomenon but it’s particularly pronounced here). Chuck Schumer’s wife and daughter led the dementedly bitter opposition to a bike lane in one of NYC’s largest parks! A bike lane!

Stop saying that all Schumer and Jeffries ever do is write strongly worded letters. Bullshit. They're not strongly worded at all.

Someday, a social science lecturer will cite this post as the beginning of the unjust discrimination against digital people.
An AI chatbot does not have PERSONHOOD. It has no agency. It cannot meaningfully apologise. It cannot speak on behalf of another. It cannot speak for itself; it has no self. Stop asking it for quotes for articles. Stop printing its quotes.

We were so successful at cutting down toil that we now sell toil club memberships so we can do structured toil because we evolved to depend on some level of toil to function. (Thanks evolution).

My Mom & I are discussing how we rather miss Foodies & the 2000s idea that cooking is great & cooking is often fun & it's great to know how to cook.
Like that Tumblr post that went "Woman belongs in the kitchen, Man belongs in the kitchen, Everyone belongs in the kitchen, Kitchen has food."

I feel like my whole issue with the $100 games discussion is that I feel like there aren't any games I'd willingly pay 70 for right now. They keep giving games huge budgets and yet the only thing that feels like it's actually increasing here is the price

Has anyone else gotten so fed up with California's effective ban on clear produce bags that they have purchased their own. I'm wasting so much food because I can't see what I have and I can't see when it is starting to get old.
