a hug from nick nelson would fix me

My problem is I believe I’m supposed to have fun every single day

"We must, then, avoid the 'Babel syndrome,' namely the idolatry of profit that sacrifices the weak, a uniformity that neutralizes differences, and the pretense that a single language — even a digital one — can translate everything, including the mystery of the person, into data and performance."

On this day in 2020, George Floyd was murdered by a white police officer who knelt on his neck for 9 & a 1/2 mins in a video that shocked many, even moving people to act to end racism. That pursuit still matters. Rest in peace George Floyd🙏🏾

the pope wrote a 42,000 word manifesto declaring war on AI. we are so freaking back.

You reduce crime by eliminating poverty. The reason so called nice neighborhoods have lower crime rates is because people’s basic needs are being met. It is not because of police, alarm systems, or neighborhood associations. Poverty creates crime.

The writer of this book died in a car bomb. Think about that !!

If you poured a gallon of poison in a CEO's pool, you'd be arrested, for attempted murder. They pour 10,000 gallons into your drinking water, that's just business.

Being homeless doesn’t mean you deserve to die. It doesn’t mean you deserve to be mistreated. It means you deserve housing.

He’s in the fucking nosebleeds with the people instead of being down in celebrity row

I'm worried that Trump will launch a war on Cuba, to distract attention from his war on Iran, which distracted attention from his war on Venezuela, which distracted attention from the Epstein files

i think the most frustrating thing about generative ai is that there is *genuinely* no need for it to exist at ALL. if you were too lazy to write an essay/email, you would just copy from templates online. if you didn't have any drawing skills, you would photobash images together.

Seeing your home girl losing herself and crying herself to sleep builds resentment.

Hot take but we literally tried to warn you that this is what happens when abortion access isn’t accessible.

One of the saddest scenes in the modern world is an immigrant apologizing for their accent to someone who speaks only one language.

In her research for the origin of STDs, she uncovered how the complete lie that you can get an std from a toilet seat was created by doctors (probably also molesting their daughters) in a refusal to accept that little rich white girls were sexually assaulted by their dads.

A woman in Texas was arrested after she made a Facebook post sounding the alarm about the water quality in her town. The water in Trinidad, Texas, sometimes runs brown, but when Jennifer Combs posted about it, the cops came and took her to jail. Video via @FOX4

Farmers have figured out that the cheapest pesticide is a strip of flowers. When you plant wildflowers through a crop field, not just around the edge but in strips running through the middle, you get ladybugs, lacewings, hoverflies, and parasitic wasps living in the field instead of visiting it. They eat the aphids, the caterpillars, and the mites for free, all summer long. In controlled trials, fields with tailored flower strips had leaf-beetle numbers 40 to 50% lower and crop damage cut by around 60%, enough to drop below the threshold where spraying was even considered worth it. The flowers attract a standing army to our fields. We spent decades engineering chemicals to kill the insects eating the crop, when the insects that eat those insects would have worked for the price of seed.

Zohran Mamdani turning a prison into a nonprofit grocery store says everything...less punishment, more basic needs. That’s the direction politics should go!!!!

This is so insane. A evil genocidal country went and illegally kidnapped peaceful protesters on international waters and now they are parading them around like cattle and NOT A SINGLE major news network is covering it.
