Artist, musical performer, and former derby skater from the Midwest.

I'm single, childless, and married to freedom and adventure.

ACAB, Anti-War, and I hate Democrats, Republicans, and billionaires. (Yes, even your favorite billionaire: the pop star, the philanthropost, the legendary athlete, or the soft-spoken investment guru who cosplays as middle class.) With each passing day I get a little closer to hating everyone.

Also, I refuse to use Donald's last name out of hatred for the man and his brand, FYI.

  • YES.

    Thank you.

    I love learning about dinosaurs. My favorite is the Ankylosaurus. What's yours?

  • TIL that the distinction between frogs and toads is informal and purely cosmetic

  • I was not aware of that.

  • Instagram says it will notify parents if teens ‘repeatedly’ search for terms related to suicide

    Jump

  • I think that's a very easy thing to say, but for the younger generations, using social media isn't too dissimilar from breathing. It's just something you do.

  • Just make that dinosaur minipig-sized and you have a deal.

  • You can go have pointless arguments about it with someone else.

  • I could get behind this.

  • Respectfully, I've heard all the arguments and do not care to litigate it again.

    What you and I think is immaterial. These are the only realistic outcomes in the current ecosystem. You can go have pointless arguments about it with someone else.

  • This is good info, and you're right. Engagement is driven by provocative and radicalizing content.

  • I'd love to see any solution centered around the individual and a lengthy lockdown of the account associated with their IP.

  • Oh yeah, especially now that suicide rates are spiking, at least here in the US.

    Jump

  • Yeah, I hate that our only two realistic options are allowing companies to self-regulate or age verification, but age verification feels like the lesser of two evils. We'd need to see much more immediate and catastrophic effects for the government to force social media companies to give up their algorithms and actually moderate without using imprecise LLM's and automods.

  • Do any of us think Meta will moderate content in any meaningful way? Even for this supposed parental supervision program?

  • I know which one I am.

    Jump

  • I was not made to have matching sets of anything.

  • Iran Faces US Wrath, But 5,000 Sailors On USS Ford Face 650 Failing Toilets

    Jump

  • Yes, following through on a withdrawal negotiated by the Donald Administration.

    But it probably did infuriate Donald supporters, just like how Dems supported the genocide in Gaza until the presidency changed hands and it was no longer convenient. Partisans have no real political convictions. It's all a matter of convenience or just repeating whatever their algorithm tells them to think on a given day.

  • TIL You can leagally drop your baby off at the fire station in all 50 states

    Jump

  • That is surprisingly kind for a Nebraskan legislator. Isn't NE one of the states where they'd rather let women die than abort a fetus?

  • Iran Faces US Wrath, But 5,000 Sailors On USS Ford Face 650 Failing Toilets

    Jump

  • Man, I wish it were one-sided.

    If Joe Biden had his way we'd still be in Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan, Syria, Somalia, Yemen, and Libya. (The 7 countries where Obama was making war at the end of his presidency all at the same time.)

  • Update on Marge - a week after leaving the shelter, house and all contents belong to her. All seats are Marge seats. All food is Marge food.

  • Marge can have my food too. Such is the prerogative of a goddess.

  • I'm sure that switch disables it and isn't just a presentation, but if you haven't, get a faraday bag and keep your phone in it when you're not using it.

    Cheers.
