"Pronouns used to be a funny joke, Hank. Until the government tried to tell me I couldn't use them anymore. So now I'm adamant about making sure trans people are gendered right. Not for their sake. But because I'll be damned if the US government is going to tell me what words I can and can't use."

By Cory Doctorow (GPG 0xBF3D9110957E5F4C)One of 2026's better tech-related coinages is "dickover," John Gruber's term for > a modal panel, popover, or curtain presented by a website or app, deliberately obscuring its own content to frustrate the user with an unwanted, unnecessary, mandatory interaction... 1/
I once asked a priest to bless a printer that I was in the middle of fighting with and he went "I only bless things when there's a chance it'll take" and then turned and walked out of the room.

Hey you ever read a perfect book synopsis?
Lin Codegaexceptionally gay! it's gay from page one when the washed up pirate queen, Pasha the storm is kidnapped, looks up at the hot mean nonbinary politician half her age holding her leash and says "hello gorgeous, come here often" it's like THAT gay
i find it very funny that, canonically, the last character in this comic strip would be required by his belief system to murder you the instant you admitted to having used any kind of AI for any purpose
A long time ago I asked folks if they knew where to get cool black minis to 3d print. No one knew. Soooo, I hunted around and made a list of what I could find on MyMiniFactory. I share it with you now in case you also want it. www.myminifactory.com/users/quinnm...
If spite is the only thing that works right now then use spite. If spite doesn’t work for you, don’t use spite. Live. No matter the reason. Doesn’t matter if it’s to see another sunrise, to see your cat grow up, to piss off the feds, or to prove to yourself you could. Live.
folks when we find a guy who's saying a bunch of dumbass shit can we get back to blocking them instead of screenshotting them and talking about their dumbass shit? these losers are not worth our time & when we let them waste it we insult the revolution
Y'all. Please remember the artists that drew these things when sending around memes. I feel for these artists who NEVER get credited for these (and some, nowadays, are even being accused of being AI!) Here's a few common ones I see (feel free to add others, I want this to be a living thread): 🧵
From the archives: [At the gay club] HIM: “Dude, what’s in your pocket?” ME: “Oh, I’m just doing the handkerchief code thing.” HIM: “That’s a semaphore flag. Where did you even get this?” [Meanwhile, at sea] SAILOR: “Sir, the merchant frigate has indicated that it’s a bottom into blowjobs.”
The horse op-ed is an instant classic. I can't tell you how much joy this piece gives me. It should be taught in every introductory writing class in no small part because the horse arguments are so compelling. "I have noticed that human children get to eat cake. But I am bigger than the children."
My favorite Sam Neil fact will always be that he designed a future Australian flag that replaces the union jack with the aboriginal flag for Event Horizon and insisted the film use it.
i think a cool thing is that every time some right winger is revealed to have, let’s say, a non-normative sexuality, i get to hear what liberals really think about me but feel they can’t voice :)
