@sneedliberalism @homosexualmouse Memory Called Empire is lesbian (but is about a woman who admires the culture of this snooty expansionist space empire that would conquer her home space station if it was in the way)
Ancillary Justice is all sorts of gender

@sneedliberalism @homosexualmouse for this specific niche (gay guys in recent SFF)
Tainted Cup (he’s bisexual but still)👍, also its sequel Drop of Corruption. the author shouts out Ezra Klein and Jerusalem Demsas in the afterword, NIMBYism is used by the villian
this one is sci-fi/mecha but Archive Undying

Okay so I meant trad published books of a generally high quality, not Chinese webnovels or self-pub stuff or whatever gotcha you got. Something I can find in a library and that doesn't suck butt. Black Leopard Red Wolf, Tarot Cycle, etc.

having trouble finding fantasy books with gay men is genuinely a skill issue

@mattparlmer sorry to disappoint
but the Gutless Wimp Cuckold Party will not be doing that
more subsidies to red states and paeans to “unity” and “looking forward not backward”. Maybe give Merrick Garland DoJ again

Next admin is gonna make ruining chud lives its top priority, hope they enjoy getting what they voted for while it lasts lol

@rowanfornow @cotorshas how can you not guess myrrh and frankincense on Christmas lol
that guess being considered hard is quite optimistic for America, secularism and atheism really have won and reactionaries are a throwing futile (but deadly) tantrum against the inevitable
English
@cotorshas okay but tbf myrrh was actually pederastic hitlerism tho

@Hanasaku_Yuri very low number of coders in your followers then

FOLLOWER POLL:
Do you use AI (not counting things like automatic search results) in your regular life...?

@Lux_Stella_ Initial release of cursor was the first time i thought “wait this ai thing might be crazy”
and with Claude Code/OpenAI Codex just doing whatever while you just watch. people who’ve gone to internships say they’re getting infinite claude api and didn’t write one line of code
English
@Lux_Stella_ here i am sitting while gpt-5.5 writes me a whole emulator frontend like retroarch (but with lua scripting) without writing one line of code
and people are still talking about some “ai bubble”
everyone in my grad lab (in every cs grad lab on the planet) has a chatbox on screen

@ThatchEffendi ok but who in the party is going to listen to him?
wouldn’t it become a case of effective collective obedience to the old leader while the new leader has a coterie of hacks at HQ only
I assume candidate selection is where he comes into play

The difficult thing about calling Kilicdaroglu Petain is that Petain was at one point a French Field Marshall who commanded the French army with real heroism. The problem with comparing him to members of the Istanbul Government is that they understood themselves to be legitimate representatives of the historic Ottoman state.

@CHRISF0GLE do you have the capability to learn about anything at all or do you just incorporate one piece of knowledge and extrapolate like an idiot
you say stupid shit first (not how Pangram works) and provide the screenshot from something else and refuse to change your mind

@Biggiethelad1 @echetus guy who calls the Rebuilds “Theatrical Edition”

Audiences use the Japanese name when the official translation sounds stupid. Nobody calls it Shin Seiki Evangerion.
april 🔆🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️@gaypril_906
one example of performative behavior i've noticed for years is where when a piece of japanese media has a very widely used localized name in english some fans of it will insist on using the japanese name anyway for some reason. very "place, japan" vibes

@psa2rpa @number_pizza111 @gasklord 1st Morrill Land Grant Act was passed during the Civil War, when there were almost no Democrats in Congress (since they were mostly Confederates and seceded)

@no_earthquake this is like how COVID turned Marin county into the most pro-vax place on the planet

in a funny twist one of our woowooest friends got really into asking AI about everything and she might be the one person in the world for whom that is uncontroversially an improvement in epistemic hygiene

@number_pizza111 @gasklord the land-grant university, like the universal library systems, were only made possible by the Radical Republican Union-only Congress sessions literally not having the worst conservative elements in the legislature at all

@hellspatisserie everytime someone tries to defend or explain psychoanalysis I incorporate that into “so this is why Argentines are the way they are”

Psychoanalysis is the opposite of CBT in that as a method it works for basically no one, except for a certain few people who have programmed the conscious aspect of their minds to work like that, for whom it is the only workable treatment

CBT seems like the dumbest most useless therapy technique ever invented until you meet the kind of person CBT was designed for

@LinkofSunshine yes

Just got exposed for my role in the coverup of a major scandal and had to resign in disgrace. My legacy and political future are completely tarnished. I’ll forever be remembered as a crook. Pineapple with cottage cheese and warm milk.

@ThreeHatsInARow @MattZeitlin no he’s done nearly nothing except the budget rebalance and snow/roads cleanup
ideal for political popularity, do-nothing politicians who look like they’re “leaders” go triple platinum for dumb voters

one thing i've noticed in a lot of left of center to left writing recently is that zohran is basically the solution to the "last chapter problem," whatever issue the person is laying out is then solved by zohran ex machina

@inverse_fire @99_elim @hellspatisserie mentally ill teenage girls with eating disorders and other self—harm impulses have decided they’re a “community” encouraging each other to starve to the bone and posting images of scars and wounds

It is stunning how under wraps this all is, relatively speaking, especially considering “satanic neonazi cult grooming your children” is the exact, precise thing entire moral panics have been fabricated over
A-100 gecs@PinstripeBungle
insane 2020's sideplot of the 764/O9A distrubuted neo-nazi internet cult causing like a dozen mass shootings by children all over the globe and never really breaking into mainstream consciousness
