Don’t blame me, I voted for Kodos.

Unfollowing antivaxxers is self care. Give yourself a late Christmas present.

I simply refuse to learn any more about imperial measurements than I already do, and if that limits my participation in British society then, honestly, all the better.

We could solve a lot of the world’s problems by jangling keys 24/7 in front of the kind of person who thinks this is good

If AI slop can’t even interest children, perhaps adults who are impressed by it should take a look at themselves. It feels like there’s a real fight coming to protect human creativity from the chronically imaginationless and their toys.

reactionary nationalism's core idea is that the nation is being taken advantage of by a rigged international system and must reassert itself. This is an especially stupid idea when adopted by the US, the nation that the international system is rigged *in favour of*
