thinking about the academie francaise declaring that gender neutral language is putting french in "mortal peril". your fucking right!!

Fuck the mainland government, actual Nazis of our generation. White power groups are fucking small-time. I stand with Hong Kong. Tell your own government so if you feel the same way. Not CW'd because it's your responsibility to know about and act on this problem.

The Washington Post's motto is "democracy dies in darkness".

A subscription to the Washington Post's digital edition costs $100 per year.

The Washington Post is owned by Jeff Bezos.

BusinessInsider estimates Jeff Bezos makes $2,489 per second.

The Washington Post reports 86.6 million unique visitors.

Jeff Bezos makes enough money in a little over than 40 days to buy every single one of those 86.6 million people a subscription.

So it's clearly not lack of money that causes the Washington Post to have a paywall.

Which means there's only one possible reason for their tagline to be "democracy dies in darkness".

It's not a foreboding warning. It's their mission statement.

yo what the FUCK

apparently bose pushed a firmware update to their headphones to make the active noise cancelling worse so people would buy their more expensive headphones



we live in a fucking clown motel

I don't understand why GitLab is doing these things. Even on behalf of Sourcehut, there are subsets that I don't really try to compete with GitLab on. They have a place in this ecosystem and they're working to undermine it. They're making a void that I, even as a competitor, don't want to and am not prepared to fill. The community is going to suffer for their missteps.

I feel really bad for their employees. If I could help, I would, but Sourcehut isn't big enough to provide a fallback for them. To any GitLab employees who know something I can do to help, or just want to talk, I can lend a sympathetic and private ear at sir@cmpwn.com.

1 boost= 1 thing the annoying guy in this class who I hate has said

Bring house gods and spirits back
Build a small shrine some place you see all the time
Fill it with things you enjoy looking at, things you want to attract in life
Offer smoke and incense
Does it work?
Does it matter?
A corner of your home is beautiful for nothing but belief and aesthetic appreciation
Good spirits live there, no matter what anyone says
And you made them yourself

hi everyone, just wanted to show you this pixelart galaxy I just made

Yes, it will be tremendously expensive to apply heavy trade sactions to China. But it was also tremendously expensive to liberate the slaves from the US south. Money never excuses moral failure.

Fuck Blizzard. Fuck China. Free Hong Kong.

thinking about going back in time and telling child Maddie that in the future we find out that dinosaurs used to have feathers. i would also probably mention to her that she's a girl but i mostly want to see how she reacts to the feathers thing
