So, I don’t give a flying fuck what happens to this Lilly Gaddis person who dropped the N-word on her little “tradwife” acct.
and now, apparently Nazi Twitter thinks she’s “not white enough to be OK”

What I DO care about is that Franchesca Ramsey (formerly of “The Daily Show”) has a song called “I Never Thought the Leopards Would Eat My Face”
It’s hilarious.

"I'm not listening to any more Dune takes from a guy who can't tell CHOAM from the Landsraad!" is a perfectly normal thing to yell while making brunch.
There's a really odd-looking plant in the garden this morning.
“It’s comically difficult” to turn off your new car’s data collection, EFF’s @Thorin told Sherwood News. “I do this for a living and I am not 100% positive I have gotten everything correct, which is ridiculous.” https://sherwood.news/tech/how-to-opt-out-of-the-privacy-nightmare-that-comes-factory-installed-in-new/

Kate Wagner (from McMansion Hell) was sent to an F1 race by Road & Track and the resulting article was published and then, poof, vanished. (Archived here!) “If you wanted to turn someone into a socialist you could [show them] the paddock of a Formula 1 race.” https://web.archive.org/web/20240301170542/https://www.roadandtrack.com/car-culture/a46975496/behind-f1-velvet-curtain/
Behind F1's Velvet Curtain

If you wanted to turn someone into a socialist you could do it in about an hour by taking them for a spin around the paddock of a Formula 1 race. The kind of money I saw will haunt me forever.

Americans: Roe is settled law

SCOTUS: Nope—State’s rights means Roe is repealed

A: Absurd but at least states can remove insurrectionists from their ballot

SCOTUS: No—No State’s rights on this particular issue

The Dialup Cybercafé

In Pratchett's Thief of Time, the Auditors of Reality grind down artwork in the museum to find out what makes it art. But all they can find are pigments and binder. And they are SO ANGRY.

This is what these AI art people remind me of. They really don't understand what makes art special and are angry that they don't have it.

Guess what % of plastics have ever been #recycled? No prizes :(
