I am now hearing that using three of something in writing is a sign of AI now.

And not literally a long standard and super effective way of writing.

Delighted to have fucking incurious proud illiterates playing AI whisperer.

I hope you step on a lego em-dash in the dark.

Damn, Seattle, that was intense.

A crushing crowd of thousands descended on Seattle's immigration courthouse for the second day in a row.

After Tuesday's large demonstration blocked garage exits, preventing ICE from spiriting away the kidnapping victims yesterday for hours.

Today ICE didn't arrest any immigrants leaving court bc the garages were blocked all day. Overnight Seattle redoubled the protest with a mass demonstration.

The UK Emergency Alert system is going to be tested again on the 7th September 2025 at 1500BST. If you have lifeline phones please make sure they're turned off - The alert will sound even when silenced. Keep yourselves safe!

Yes, a file full of zero bits transfers faster over USB2.0 than a file full of one bits.

I've known this forever but it still feels ridiculous when you actually test it and it's true!

USB truly is cursed.

Hypocrisy from the UK regime.

Having to force people to use the product they don’t want is surely the litmus test for knowing you’ve created something of value

July is #DisabilityPrideMonth

Wait, disability ... pride? Why would someone be proud to be disabled?

One of the most important aspects of disability pride for me is to counter the shame. The shame of “being different,” the shame of “needing help,” the shame of “being a burden,” the shame from the humiliation and abuse I have experienced.

Disability pride gives me the chance to counter the shame by saying, “I am disabled, and I am proud to exist and be who I am.”

#PNG Returns with Major Spec Update After Two-Decade Hiatus https://medium.com/p/png-returns-with-major-spec-update-after-two-decade-hiatus-e98ef855cfa4

Hey all y'all need to stop using "guys" in mixed company.

- My trans girlfriend is not a guy.
- My cis girlfriend is not a guy.
- I'm not a guy (or a girl, but that's not relevant here).

Misgendering is misgendering—even if "everyone's doing it".

Patriarchy shouldn't be the default.

one adult: "I'd like one custom pornography, please, and consent to compensation for your efforts."

an adult artist: "I consent to this exchange. That'll be a non-zero amount of money please."

payment processors, breaching the fucking wall with explosives: "I don't consent, perverts! Hands in the air! Do it! Do it now!"
