#Cogs
「 To understand non-toons better! The only people who aren't toons that we come into contact with often are /cogs,/ eugh. But you're too bright to be a cog! 」
( That is: a duck. A duck in a lab coat. Enker blinks several times, then narrows his eyes a bit. )

… what exactly do you need the notes for?
「 Gooood morning, everyone! There's lots of non-toons here, do you all mind if I take notes on you? 」

They're too busy finding ways to put more money in the richest pockets and how to put more taxes on the poorest to give a shit about our health. To them, we're replaceable cogs in their money machine.

If they want sustainable population growth, then they need to make formula free, provide UBI, make all utilities public, socialize housing, and tax the super-rich to do it. Otherwise, they're gonna run out of cogs for their machine. Die mad about it!

authoritarians don't get humor. all they understand is hierarchy

perfect cogs for cults

DAT Walkman - far too complicated a mechanism for such a small device. I put a tape in and went to shut it one day and there was a crunch and tiny washers and bolts and belts and cogs went flying all over the train carriage I was sitting in.

Where will you run, when there’s no place left for you to hide?

When you’re faced with the flood, will you stand for the future and swallow your pride?

If all we are is just machines, then we must be the cogs inside the wheels of change.

Cogs whirring after first meeting with the team @walklistencreate.org, with @elizafevwrites.bsky.social, to kick off our both being writers in residence for the next year. Opportunities, ideas, connections. What are these feelings I'm feeling?

Excelsior. And a shout out to every other house where the cogs of scientific self-correction never stop turning.

THEY’RE LYING TO PUTIN IN PUBLIC - SOMETHING IS UP

Defence Minister Belusov and COGS Gerasimov have now both publicly lied to Putin about the situation in Kupynask to his face.
That can only mean they know he has no other way of it being proved otherwise, or they think if they say it often enough

Let's get the pre-cogs in.

the rust-worn
cogs of time
grind ever on
neglected by
a forlorn mind
until inexorably
they'll sieze the day
and fond memories
that once we shared
lock into final silence

so let us both
#recall reminiscences
of our yesteryears
and resurrect the hope
that slowly wears away

An entire generation, mining content for diminishing returns, only to watch robots perfect the art of rock bottom. Are we creators or cogs?

It is the start of another day, the time when the world wakes up and the cogs of society begin to move. I am one of those cogs, going round and round. I have become a functioning part of the world, rotating in the time of day called morning.

It just means that for decades, we've been unaware of all of the small cogs that move within a functioning government, and as they are dismantled one by one, we begin to feel how tenuous our hold on a civil society is. "Touch grass" is fine, but do it in addition to outrage, not in place of it.

Dammit, I want to do so much... I want to write, but then I /have/ to do rl things that drag me back. And I want to draw, but can I, now? I have rust in my cogs… _| ̄|○

I should start game from a lower level like—I didn’t even know we had a comic library, maybe from there. Yeah…

making life as challenging as possible for young people is what conditions them to become cogs in the capitalist machine because they won't be able to see how unfair their working conditions are, because their life was already unfair

Hilarious. You can see the cogs whirring in Marias head. She is clearly only seeing the "affordability" question through the lens of a taxpayer who doesn't need to worry about healthcare and the govt and NOT as an american ACA emd user for whom healthcare is one of the highest costs they face!
FOX: The ACA has never been more popular. Republicans are losing on this messaging. How do you talk to Americans who say the Republicans don't have a plan?

REP. BUDDY CARTER: You explain it by explaining it's not working. When the govt has to subsidize a program, that means it's not working

Brentfords transfer strategy will not be impacted by managers in the same way Brightons wasn't. These clubs have managers as cogs in the system they aren't the driver of the clubs philosophy or signings they are hired as they aline with it.

I think they mean to say they use AI art to get the cogs turning.

It's easy to throw words into the crap bot and get strange looking pictures that can get the neurons firing.

Fuck AI, but also fuck artist's block 🙃

Those libraries are also especially nasty. But yes, taking apart the clock to look at the cogs is correct. Why not!
December 16, 2025 at 9:03 PM
Over the years I have read most of the Austin books & seen TV/film adaptations so the old brain cogs were turning trying to remember relevant bits. #Furryreaders #FurryTails

His hand ignited in a blaze of flame and spinning gears, his eyes glowing with an eldritch light. He moved his hand; her body followed in a sickening mimicry. She swept her arm wide, and a cloud of burning cogs slashed through the air like shrapnel. Cheers of wonder became a cry of blood and death.
