"Real GE's move in silence like lasagna" would be a good slogan for an ultra-quiet General Electric dishwasher.

I'm in the, second or third blush of youth *flips hair*

This is a state supreme court ruling in 2024: frozen blastocysts that thaw accidentally are victims of wrongful death, based on an originalist reading of [checks notes] Jeremiah 1:5.

starting to think some of you actually don't contain multitudes

Over half way through the month now and I still need 68 more sign-ups if I'm going to cover rent+bills.

I've literally lost more patrons than gained in the last week and I'm just running out of time.

If it interests you at all, please give it a try. That £5 makes a massive difference to me.

I just encountered the term "data fetishism" and, tho it seems to be used by most as loosely as commodity fetishism, the analogy seems spot on: preconscious instilled perception of big data's aura of inherent power instead of looking at the social relations that produce and ground it.

Please share this transcript of a talk from the Anti*Capitalist Resistance Internationalism Day School, in which I sketch the crushing realities of being trans in an age of crisis & reaction, with thanks to @radicaltwilight.bsky.social & @terryconway.bsky.social. Recording of the talk at the end.

It's curious how little attention the radical left affords the trans struggle in comparison with the great effort expended by the right to end it. Some explain this by claiming it is a wedge issue used by the right to split the left, but this is wrong. The right hates trans people on our own merits.

There's been a surprising amount of lowbrow socialist commentary on how the communistic nature of videogame speedrunning subcultures combines a fundamentally competitive activity with a sense of communally "cracking" a game.

can't stop calling this site "busky dot app" in my head

I'm fucking turning 30 in three hours let's gooooooo

So many posts for and against various sub-categories within transness, I find myself falling into a kind of gender quietism. Can't really understand why you would spend so much time trying to systematize under conditions of scarcity. Better to fuck or not and be done.

I'm not sure I'd want my quiche crust to be made out of cheezits. Or like, I'd want to try it, but I think I enjoy the standard buttery crust, I think that's a big part of the appeal for me

Sol et luna: solidarity and lunacy

First results are in: 2023 temperatures were stunningly warm arstechnica.com?p=1994660

going through old photos from our trip to Seattle and this one really stood out

So WV has introduced a bill that would, de facto, make being transgender in the state of West Virginia a felony.

Say hello to Senate Bill 197.

This is... horrifying. I might have to evacuate this state if this gets anywhere close to passing.
