Trump desperately did not want to be blamed for covid and initially chose the "ignore and it will go away" option, and those of us outside the cult remember how well that worked out. Also trump was anti-mask because masks would smear his orange makeup, I will die on this hill.

ok reasonable

I’ll bite: back in the dark ages I was on the anime con circuit of the early 90s. I brought my boom box with me everywhere then. Robert Woodhead didn’t have any A/V for his dealers booth so I offered mine. He gave me a VHS box set of Ah! My Goddess as thanks

Also met my wife at an anime con…back before there were a lot of options (25+ years ago now). Glad to see many more of these stories now. ❤️

OK, we've had the talk about bullying and the discourse that's been bubbling today. Let's do something positive: What as your coolest, most favorite experience as an anime fan? Doesn't have to be anything special, just has to be something that you remember fondly.

The goal is to satisfy the *emotions* behind every information need without providing real information.

16) Stole this one from a recent skeet I saw: If generative AI could REALLY make the next GTA in 6 months with 10 staff, or write the next bestseller, or produce 10 blockbusters a day? They wouldn't be trying to sell it to YOU. They would keep it for themselves and guard it from you ferociously.

overwhelmingly incorrect lmao

it's always really funny when you meet someone you know from from online for the first time irl and they're like "wait you're actually like this" lol you think if I had the ability to fake a whole persona this is the one I'd have gone with

Whether it be Zohran Mamdani or Abdul El-Sayed, the way the establishment nonchalantly kicks into high key screeching Islamophobia whenever a Muslim person runs for public office should be all you need to know about them.

Could not happen to a nicer dude! I wonder if Marvel is just going to cede ground in regard to Black audiences. Letting manga and DC take over in all areas save for film and Black Panther.

legitimately this is a big reason it’s important to have diverse product teams! people with different experiences have different perspectives on how something can be misused and will bring up problems that you might have missed even with a good faith attempt at thinking them through

one of the most important things you need to do when developing a new product, especially in tech, is sit down and think about how it can be misused by bad actors and nowadays it sure seems like the bad actors are less “people to be guarded against” and more “the target customer base”

Called the FDA (federal diarrhea administration) to get more information about the diarrhea outbreak and they said they don't do that. They only send people diarrhea. Why would I want that

Islamophobia is accepted in American society in a way that antisemitism is not

What’s noticeable to me is how in the midst of an election year when people had a lot to say about one particular candidate’s history with racism, another candidate’s Islamophobia has been treated as unremarkable and not a crisis

White progressives have been criticized for their lack of intersectionality and insistence on class-first solutions and focus on bringing white racists into the coalition by distracting them with jangling keys, and instead of listening, there’s always a reason *this* critique is illegitimate

Too many white people across the political spectrum consider us mascots for their political desires and not as fully developed equals with flaws and virtues

I’m old enough to remember when Prop 8 succeeded in California the same night Obama got elected so white LGBTQ peeps and white progressives immediately turned around and blamed Black voters Fuck I’m so old
