current events - 8chan, antisemitism violence mention 

so apparently 8chan just got search warranted in relation to the san diego synagogue shooting

the FBI is also going hard after facebook groups that encouraged/abetted the shooter as well

i hope they straight-up waltz in there, take the servers, and then spend the next 6 months handing out charges like halloween candy.

I'm slowly acknowledging my often-neglected squirrel sona more and more

cause this fediverse needs more squirrels.

Hey comrades, I'm a poor Latinx lesbian asking for $350 for rent. My several small jobs have dipped down for summer and I'm scrambling to look for more work

I'm the most scared in a year I won't have enough to cover me and my gf

I need to find a way to scam some capital owners so I can afford to set up a colony for queer folks.

I love the aesthetic of the Vostok radio room clocks

They were meant for the radio rooms in ships, the first 3 minutes of every quarter hour are highlighted in red because during those minutes ships are (were? I don't know current high seas radio procedures) meant to maintain radio silence and listen out for distress signals

PSA: meta, rich text, gargron 

Gargron has officially denied the winning option in the poll and announced that he is refusing to implement it anyway, before closing any and all discussion on the pull request.

Mostly because he does not want it, but as well, based on a combination of two options on the poll that aren't the same adding up to 47% or "half".

Please stop using vanilla Mastodon, he's making quite clear that this is his project and his project alone, and the community wants do not matter to him.

climate change horror, garbage science, fluff journalism 

someone in one of my group chats linked to some news article about

someone in pennsylvania, usa

who decided that the increased number of tornadoes

is due to all the traffic circles

...

the thing is, I think everyone has that sinking off-balance feeling that the weather is going wrong in subtle ways that we can't pin down but can feel in the patterns

and it's climate change

there's other shit going on but it's climate change

and some reputable news outlet is out there talking about someone who's blaming traffic circles as if this is newsworthy as anything bigger than an example of the intensity of that anxiety

maybe the article itself is better than the preview but I don't even ... I can't deal with that

I can deal with not thinking about it because I can't think about it myself but I can't deal with this shit

so I accidentally wikipedia and learned that the eastern bloc made westerns where the native americans were the protagonists: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_So

like, I've vaguely imagined a scheme where you could make completely disposable one-use batteries exploiting the oxidation of a more or less harmless metal, like magnesium or aluminum

but it would be really cool to make a phone where you could just feed it bits of scrap aluminum and empty out the Al2O3 periodically

Show thread

wish there were portable electronics devices, like phones or whatever, that you could *feed*. like, with a chemical fuel

Chara sent me this image. Very funny... I know how to turn a computer off, you know! I press the button on the monitor. See, I know things about computers. 😎

Sick Cat 

We are really worrieds for our cat Stormy. He has never been this sick before. He is literally laying in bed with the heater blasting on him and has only gotten out of bed twice this morning. It is now 3:00PM. He usually loves being outside. Poor Stormy.

Today I learned that MIT students built a Gutenberg-work-alike printing press, and they print books with it.

idea for a furry space opera, "Legends of the Galactic Snow Leopards"

that's it, that's the idea

Yelling about cyberpunk 2077 

CDPR: Ya, you see, of course megacorps would cater to trans people with advertising it's 2077 gender is accepted in this world so corps want their money
Also CDPR: No, of course you can't PLAY as a trans person trying to take down the megacorps that control everything, that's just not realistic

@Sylvhem One of the truest but hardest lesson I was ever taught, by Esmeralda Weatherwax:

«If you trust in yourself...and believe in your dreams...and follow your star... you'll still get beaten by people who spent their time working hard and learning things and weren't so lazy.» #Pratchett
