the hardest compassion is self-compassion
not blaming other people, that’s not compassion at all, but having true compassion for yourself as a human being fundamentally worthy of respect

Foz’s mother is a comrade
my 75yo mother told me last night that she’s planning to delete Instagram and Facebook because she’s sick of not being able to tell what’s AI and what’s not, and I genuinely don’t think tech companies have reckoned with this kind of move as an actual possibility

yay for the local management of that hotel, boo forever to Hilton for making them walk it back
That didn't last long.
"A few hours later, Hilton followed up with an updated statement, saying 'We have been in direct contact with the hotel, and they have apologized for the actions of their team, which was not in keeping with their policies...'"

It is geninuely remarkable that not a single member of congress has suggested the wildly popular move of not allowing your taxpayer dollars to go to funding a CSAM generating nazi.
its not like elon musk has billions in govt contracts while his site is also producing csam
oh wait
oh wait
the most prominent republican donor in america is producing csam
i havent seen or heard of a single democrat speaking about this

Look, everyone. This is the freedom we want to export to Venezuela.

Watch this activist get arrested *mid-interview* for speaking out against U.S. action in Venezuela.

2025 goes down as the ~3rd-warmest year on record (based on ERA5).
Like in 2024, every single day this past year was warmer than the average of even the most recent reference period (1991-2020).

WH sources say Venezuela's opposition leader committed the "ultimate sin": She accepted the Nobel Peace prize.
“If she had turned it down and said, ‘I can’t accept it because it’s Donald Trump’s,’ she’d be the president of Venezuela today,” one said.

For those looking at what is going on in Venezuela and saying this isn't who we are, this is exactly who we are. We have a long history of doing shit like this in central and south America. This isn't a Trump thing this is an America thing.

this was my first watch (Absentia by Mike Flanagan) and there were some fine performances and great sound direction and a very terrifying basic concept
and the whole movie was made for less than the cost of a Cybertruck! #HorrorWatch

But better than I remembered, despite being aggressively low-budget. Don't love the bugs (sorta wish they'd left it up to our imagination), but it's a fun concept and done quite well for as little money as they had. Also got to watch hashtags break down in real time, so that was fun. #horrorwatch

the reason people sometimes act madder at democrats than republicans when republicans do impossibly evil shit is the same reason why, if you hired an exterminator to handle a roach infestation and he showed up to feed and play with them instead, your first instinct wouldn’t be to yell at the roaches
