I think about squids road all the time

But seriously do you ever look at the white cliffs of Dover and all those MILES UPON MILES of chalk in se England and across the channel and think how it's all just... microscopic skeletons of fossil plankton and squid bits and shells and so on and it's just HUGE

and all the marble and limestone in the world comes from various kinds of organic ocean floor fallout as well, and there's SO MUCH rock on this planet made of organic leftovers, and so many minerals, whole mountains, that wouldn't exist without small life.

Coevolution with life shaping geology and geology shaping life is so effing cool. That roadcut shows we're still doing it.

This might sound harsh but if you use AI to read tarot donโ€™t consider yourself a tarot reader. Please use your own brain, Itโ€™s gotten alarmingly bad how yโ€™all use robots for everything. The basis of tarot is to use your own intuition and understanding of the cards. The cards meanings also vary from reader to reader. Itโ€™s borderline pathetic to ask artificial intelligence what the spread you just pulled means and write down the exact answer it gives you for pacs on tumblr or wherever else because you canโ€™t figure it out yourself. Iโ€™m sorry, but Itโ€™s embarrassing. Thereโ€™s so many possibilities and so many messages to interpret when you read that a robot cannot catch. Thatโ€™s the beauty in tarot!! You clearly donโ€™t care for it if you use AI, if youโ€™re gonna use it regardless at least be honest about it and donโ€™t pretend you interpreted that by yourself. Itโ€™s ridiculous.

One year anniversary of this shit happening

Never forget that not only did she get banned because of staff's transphobia, the CEO of this site followed her to Twitter and posted her account information publicly.

As much as we meme about the hammer car thing, this was a real instance of staff personally terrorizing a trans woman.

For anyone who hasn't been up to date on the clown show that is the American news, I'll give a quick recap because oh boy.

So Jeffrey Goldberg is the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic. One day, he gets a notification on his phone from the messaging app "Signal". He sees that he's been added to a group chat called "Houthi PC small group". He thinks nothing of it at first, until a couple days later he sees on the news that the U.S. is bombing Yemen. He takes a look and sees that he has been added to a group chat by the National Security Advisor Mike Waltz.

Plenty of government officials including vice president JD Vance were in this conversation, and they were discussing their bombing on Yemen. And Jeffrey Goldberg, editor-in-chief of The Atlantic, was added by mistake.

So Goldberg approached the White House, who confirmed that he had been accidentally added to the chat. He then posted part of the conversation in a news story on the front page of his news website, omitting any classified information as to not get arrested for that level of security breach.

The response from the administration has been wild. They're all smearing the journalist, obviously, but their responses at first varied from "he made it all up" to "he must've hacked is way in" to "big deal, people add people to group chats on accident all the time". Eventually, they were put in front of Congress to testify under oath, where they said that nothing in the conversation was classified information like military hours or types of weapons used.

In response, Goldberg said "Oh, so it's not classified? Okay then! That means I can do this," and then he released the full unedited conversation. The conversation was nothing but classified information like military hours and the types of weapons used.

Not only are they communicating on private phones on third party apps as a way to circumvent the Presidential Records Act (the chat was interestingly set to auto-delete messages after 4 weeks), but it really kinda highlights the incompetence of America's leadership right now.

They're not going to win.

Holding up snarky signs doesn't seem to be working.

For me, it isn't about whether this action is appropriate or not. It's about how this kind of action is inevitable.

I'm going to let Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. explain in a quote no one seems to post during his annual holiday.

"It is not enough for me to stand before you tonight and condemn riots. It would be morally irresponsible for me to do that without, at the same time, condemning the contingent, intolerable conditions that exist in our society. These conditions are the things that cause individuals to feel that they have no other alternative than to engage in violent rebellions to get attention. And I must say tonight that a riot is the language of the unheard. And what is it America has failed to hear?"

If you only speak up about a supercharger catching fire and ignore the unheard, you are prioritizing a thing over people.

imagine if aliens found the dead body of a human being exploded in the vacuum of space and they started making fun of the mutilated corpse calling it โ€œsplatter alienโ€ and saying it was the ugliest alien in the whole galexy. and then made stuffed animals of it to sell to their alien kids. thatโ€™s what happened on this planet to the blob fish
