Gentle nerd freak of the pacific northwest. All nation states are vermin.

  • Action.

    Get organised. Find a group to join, action to take, a specific cause you feel passionate about.

    I won't pretend it's easy - social anxiety is real and really difficult - but we're social mammals and we do better as part of a group. Helping others is always the best way to help yourself.

  • Cardamom rich coffee

    Night blooming cereus

    The smell of my best friend from back at uni - patchouli, henna and well-cared-for dreds.

    Burning Xanthorrhea trunk - the australian grass tree that acts like a firelighter.

  • Dems deserve their fair share of the blame for enabling the ongoing authoritarian coup and deliberately undermining people trying to fight against it.

    The fascist elites who seized control of the nation need the republicans to carry out their will and they need the dems to sabotage the people's attempts to fight back.

  • Janet Mills suspended her campaign for Senate on Thursday, as her progressive challenger, oyster farmer Graham Platner, continued to lead in the polls and in fundraising.

    It’s a shocking fall off for the incumbent governor

    Lol brutal! The current governor and dnc prefered candidate dying in the polls and fundraising (!) to a progressive oyster farmer.

    The democratic party is such a stalwart architect of their own failures. I just wish they werent taking the nation down with them.

  • Not drugs, just weed.

  • That whole bit is SO GOOD. Everything from bang the rocks together, worst dressed sentient being, best bang since the big one, culminating in Zaphod's jist zis guy, you know? 😂

    It's right up there with the 'space, it says, is big' and might even be better than the bit about the marketing division of the sirius cybernetics corporation.

  • Nup! It's the only thing that keeps me going. It helps me get out of bed and fills me with hope and purpose.

  • Because both the english and korean terms for the dessert are loan words from the same italian word.

    Also scientific terms like tyrannasaur are almost always stay the same across cultures and languages.

  • Good. Impeachment is pointless and accomplishes nothing. Plus trump is a cenile stooge inches from death.

    Jailing regime goons for their many open crimes should be the priority.

  • The rich talking about democracy is like a catholic bishop talking about god - they know it's not real, it just helps them distract people from all the child rape.

  • Lol the gizmodo article about the preview of mythos has this incredible openly line:

    If Anthropic is kind of like a kid at a Halloween party with a bowl full of spaghetti, telling its blindfolded friends the spaghetti is brains, European cyber agency leaders are like kids who are mad that they still haven’t gotten to stick their fingers in the brain bowl

    Anthropic in particular seems to use "we're scared of what we can do" as their marketing strategy. So maybe this unauthorized use is real, or maybe it's just more PR.

  • If there's one thing fascism has taught us, the two are hardly mutually exclusive.

  • 30% of the adult population voted for trump in 2024.

    If we lived in a democracy, that would be a generational level defeat that may spell the end of the party, not deliver full control of both houses and the executive.

    It's just a bit rich blaming voters in an oligarchy with no real representative mechanisms.

  • Given that bluesky was hit a few days ago, could be a threat actor gauging the defenses/responses of 2nd tier targets. I wouldn't put it past musk to use ddos to generate bad press for non-x socials either.

    Plenty of ways this could be worth someone's resources even if complete take down isn't on the table.

  • Fraudsters with a bad bear suit and a dream deserve that money so much more than insurance companies.

  • Tabletop rpg design uses the term "fail gracefully" to describe being able to still function when you forget the rules.

    Older games used to regularly stop amd collapse into boring chart-reading and index-looking-up. A lot of modern games are entirely playable if you forget everything except the core mechanic.

  • once saw her as Bernie Sanders 2.0 but now think she's more pragmatist than revolutionary

    What hot fucking nonsense is this? No shade on bernie but no one left of john mccane thinks sanders is a revolutionary. He's a pragmatic leftist who joined the dems for pragmatic reasons.

  • Slightly but significantly less bad. For now.
