reminded of eric williams's observation about britain's relationship to its history with slavery. "British historians wrote almost as if Britain had introduced Negro slavery solely for the satisfaction of abolishing it."
holy shit: “Among the 2,000 UK adults surveyed, 85% were unaware that Britain forcibly transported more than 3 million Africans to the Caribbean, 89% did not know that Britain enslaved people in the Caribbean for more than 300 years” www.theguardian.com/world/2025/n...

judging by the stop code, you landed your ball in the kernel mode trap?
last night at a bar I learned that they improved pinball by making machines that are entirely computers and they’re much better than what we had before

Coming back to this because I see a lot of people still trying to act like they're on 4chan but wokely and I'm sorry but being an aggressive, embittered edgelord sucks no matter which way you're pointing that

This is one of my main issues with people who try to argue that ICE shouldn't be doing what they're doing to "non-criminals."
Call me a radical but I don't think that people should be extrajudicially kidnapped by a paramilitary force even if they're criminals.

Please stop using language that suggests that people with criminal records are appropriate targets for this administration's violence. One in three adults has a criminal record. Stop playing sacrifice games with fascists. Stop surrendering entire categories of people in your own mind.

not the main point but it should be illegal to interview someone more than 3 times for the same position
3 years ago today, Riot Games offered me a job making more money than I ever thought I’d make in my life. I had 19 interviews over 2.5 months to get it. Partner and I were moving to LA for it. I put in notice at my job and apartment.
2 weeks later they rescinded the offer due to “headcount issues”.

while I am glad the new Pope is pro immigration, important to point out that the American Catholic Church has its sights set on killing my friends
Many people dismissed the announcement Catholic hospitals will ban gender-affirming care nationwide under the assumption that there will be other options. In reality, Catholic hospitals make up as much 46% of options in some states. This map is 2020, prior to Trump’s assault on safety net hospitals.

Thinking about the "pee tape" thing, and the "Donica Lewinsky" thing, both in light of the fact that Trump was then and now a known sex predator, and realizing that to some people, what's embarrassing is way more relevant than what's right or wrong, even when the wrong is this bad
