Dean is stating fact. 😡
the cmake wizards, it would later be determined, had constructed a powerful nuclear catalyst. they would be insulted to have served as the second womb experience for the cmake user. the cmake user experienced a crucifixion flux of >200 jesus/ns at the height of the process. the cmake user experienced the pain of the whole history of the universe, each in subsequent time slices, each lovingly shared.
the cmake user knows what it's like to be lonely.
the cmake wizards have been flattened by radiation pressure from the integration reaction. the cmake user remembers the moment before they went turbojesus. the cmake user now understands the kind of fear and hate that motivates the twisted logic of cmake. the cmake user understands that another decisecond of exposure would have ravaged his language centers like the rest. did they choose to spare me?

"#Törnberg identified 3 new kinds of emerging #onlinemedia platforms, starting with private or semi-private group chats like #WhatsApp.
The 2nd category is what Törnberg calls #algorithmicbroadcasting media, like TikTok, Instagram, and even Facebook, to a certain degree, thanks to the Reels aspect. The 3rd is users interacting with #AIchatbots. “If you look at the data, it seems like about twice as many people are talking to a chatbot versus posting on social media."

Tonight's Low Quality Ad is for this Crow Plush. He looks so angry. Probably because someone is playing jazz. Crows fucking hate jazz.

@lowqualityfacts Crows love Counting Crows.
Thank you for making cool stuff with your #FilthyHumanHands. <3
BTW, here's the official url for the project. It goes to the same place, but we can keep it up to date if anything happens to disroot.

@RussSharek Thank you! I'll get the link fixed right now.
Yup. With one clarification: social media objectively, unequivocally, reduced bigotry.
I'm a nerd. I went to a fancy prep school, then a fancy liberal arts college, then work with computers. I'm a classic nerdy jock. I don't do hard drugs, I don't steal I don't get in trouble. I didn't even drink in high school. Super square!
But I started getting pulled over and harassed by cops starting from age 12, because I'm a Black boy.
Before social media, no one that wasn't Black believed me about my experiences. Now, after social media, people believe it.
Before social media, no one believed Black people when we said how often cops lie and plant evidence. Now, after social media, people believe it.
No one believed Black people about how many evil, racist, white ladies there are, being racist and attacking Black people and kids, and trying to get us killed by cop or vigilante. Now, after social media, people believe it.
Elon bought Twitter, in large part because racists are mad at how effective social media is at calling racists out on their nonsense.
@mekkaokereke @benroyce Also phone cameras? Unless that's what you mean by social media?

Brey, capitalism is burning the planet to a crisp - specifically THIS really REAL capitalism, in the really REAL world, based on really REAL fossil fuel consumption. It's a GLOBAL problem - you ain't fixing that without socialism.
So feel however the fuck you want about how much iron ore Stalin smelted in 1950, but newsflash - you're fucking wormfood without A) ending capitalism and 😎 a socialist answer to "boiling fucking planet."
And I should NOT have to explain this, in 2026. Read a book.
Like, how do you even deal with someone who posits, after perhaps YEARS of reading your well thought out posts and articles about "why socialism" and "why not really another choice" and then comes to your mentions to say "communism burns a lotta coal too?"
What the fuck are you even TALKING about you fucking MUPPET. Yeah mate, that's my plan - socialism is when you *checkes notes* build a transnational railway to haul coal across the Ural Mountains. You NAILED IT FUCKER!

May 9, 1921: Sophie Scholl was born on this date in 1921. She was a central member of the anti-Nazi White Rose group in wartime Germany. She was captured, charged with high treason for distributing anti-war literature, & beheaded along with her brother, Hans. Since the 1970’s her antifascist resistance has been recognized and honored.

@Tutanota Very disappointed you guys listed Clue. My wife asked me to check out their privacy policy the other week and it's horrendous. They claim that they'll never hand over data in any circumstance, which either means they're lulling users into a false sense of security or they're a "bulletproof" provider and we know how well that tends to go (spoiler alert: Interpol eventually kicks down their door and carries off their servers).
Today's Low Quality Ad is for this Bear Arms Pin. Just think, the $400 million it will take to build Trump's ballroom could instead be used to arm every single bear in the United States. The Founding Fathers must be rolling in their graves.
