ok not to go on about twitter again but Google is booting twitter cause they aren't paying for server space anymore so Elon is lying about these limits happening because he wants ppl to pay to see more, it was happening because the servers are genuinely DOWN 😭😭😭

SCOTUS will rule on anti-LGBT discrimination laws tomorrow on the basis of a case where a web designer was asked to make a site for a gay wedding. Anyway the man who supposedly asked is straight, already married, and never talked to her, and it appears the entire incident was fake. They made up a gay couple to sue and it went all the way to the Supreme Court, the legitimate institution we must all respect

SCOTUS predictably declared that the web designer can't be forced to make a site for a gay wedding, even though by all accounts she was never asked, and the case is entirely hypothetical, and the request was a fake one manufactured after a previous suit was dismissed for lack of anything happening, so the Supreme Court has wisely decided to protect evangelicals from the possibility that someone from a minority group might ask them to do something that they were never asked to do by anyone - but which they imagine they might be someday - which is maybe American Politics in 2023 dot jpeg

If you're keeping track, today the Supreme Court's conservatives decided that refusing service minority groups is perfectly legal for private businesses, and yesterday decided that granting admission to minority groups on the basis of being marginalized is illegal for colleges, which. Alright. In-group that the law protects but doesn't bind, out-group the law binds but doesn't protect and all that

The POS test.

idk what traumatized or mentally ill person needs to hear this but dreams (especially the really disturbing ones you dont want to talk about to anybody) arent some deep peek into your psyche or a sign of your True Desires or whatever theyre quite literally your brain making fruit salad with whatever it can find on the shelf. just putting all that shit in a blender and hitting obliterate. its fine, youre fine, youre not a weirdo for it

Actually forget what I said. This dream is more important than anything

hey netizens! i'm not sure how many people are aware, but youtube's been slowly rolling out a new anti-adblock policy that can't be bypassed with the usual software like uBlock Origin and Pi-Hole out of the gate

BUT, if you're a uBlock Origin user (or use an adblocker with a similar cosmetics modifier), you can add these commands in the uBlock dashboard (under My Filters) to get rid of it!

reblog to help keep the internet less annoying and to tell corporations that try shit like this to go fuck themselves <3

WHY ARE WE SPEEDRUNNING HISTORY

You know what's thoughtful? Asking someone to finish their story when they get cut off in a group conversation. It's such little gestures that mean the most

Still laughing at Brian May offhandedly writing the greatest understatement in the history of academia in his astrophysics doctoral dissertation:

Ah, yes - “various pressures.” Like being one of the greatest guitarists ever and playing/writing/singing for the most legendary rock band of all time.

The French language is a joke to you people, n’est-ce pas?

man, the way some of the reddit refugees talk about moving to tumblr is kinda depressing; they're saying stuff like "No one has belittled me on tumblr yet" and "people actually talk to me here."

We've got to rehabilitate these users so that they can see what it's like to have a non-hostile internet experience.

Some people are baffled by the concept that there really are people who actually like children but don't want any of their own. "Childfree" doesn't automatically mean someone who simply hates children. The thing is, I do like kids, and I will absolutely not compromise on my stance that each and every child deserves to grow up in a safe, stable and supportive environment. I also know that I get aggressive if I'm constantly sleep-deprived or overstimulated. People generally don't regard me as someone capable of violence, but if I can't get 15 minutes of silence each day and at least 5 hours of sleep every night, I will start throwing things. And I know kids won't let you have that. Ever.

Kids deserve to grow up feeling safe and cherished, unafraid to express themselves and without worry that they're unwelcome or unwanted. And that's why they should be doing that somewhere else than in my fucking house.

There's a phase that small kids go through, when they've just learned how to talk enough to have something sembling an intelligent, intellectual argument. They like to practice this by wanting to disagree about anything - mainly general statements that were not 100% perfectly waterproof. If you tell a 4-year-old that bananas are green when they're raw, and they turn yellow when they're ripe, there's a good chance that they'll give you that "well that can't be right" frown, and start to argue. Surely not all bananas that are yellow are always ripe.

Unfortunately humouring them about these arguments is very important for their development and a great opportunity to teach them more about how the world works, so you'll sometimes end up arguing about things like these, and every single time when you explain that's not how something works, they'll come up with another argument starting with "but what if-", until you are forced to admit that yes, if someone did for some reason take one single green banana, spray-paint it yellow and then expertly textured it to look just like a ripe banana, and then break into a grocery store in the middle of the night to slip that one painted banana into the display of ripe, edible bananas, then that one specific yellow banana would not be ripe and ready to eat.

As far as the child is concerned, this means that your entire initial statement was false, and you were wrong and they were right. Their need to be correct about something has been satisfied. Fortunately, most children grow out of this phase eventually.

The ones that manage to survive into adulthood without growing out of it end up on Twitter.
