Yesterday, more than 50 Texas House Democrats left the state to block Texas House Republicans’ gerrymandered map. Texas lawmakers returned to the legislature on July 21st, with flood relief at the top of their legislative priorities. But since then, they've held one single hearing on flood relief. Instead, they rammed through a heavily gerrymandered map personally demanded by Trump, with the express goal of creating five new Republican seats so his party won’t get wiped out in next year’s midterms. The map guts the voting power of Black and Latino Texans and entrenches Republicans’ rule even more. Redrawing maps usually only happens at the beginning of the decade after the Census is conducted – but when Trump says jump, Texas Republicans say how high. As long as Texas Democrats remain out of the state, the Texas House cannot conduct any business, including voting on Trump’s map. Let’s be clear: they aren’t running away from anything. They’re fighting, with every tool at their disposal, to save our democracy. And their courage is rattling Republicans: Governor Greg Abbott says he will attempt to remove them from office if they don’t return today and threatened them with felony charges. Kudos to Texas Democrats for taking this stand. We must all support them however we can in their battle against Trump’s authoritarianism. Their courage is a potent reminder that tyranny is only possible if we submit to it.

Nona the ninth is like: cam and pal think they're a body sharing disaster, the bodysharing disaster thinks she's a war crime, the war crime thinks she's the soul of the earth, the soul of the earth thinks she's a blonde chick, the blonde chick thinks she's god, and god thinks he's space ghost

Roko’s Basilisk: a devilish thought experiment dreamt up by the best minds of 4chan or Reddit or wherever. the supposition being that, if a hyperintelligent AI capable of simulating past states of the universe were created, it would be in its best interest to simulate trillions upon trillions of realities in order to punish those that interfere with—or refuse to aid in—its creation. the implication being that it would be wiser for a programmer to aid in creating Roko’s Basilisk, than to do nothing and risk eternal punishment in digital superhell

i submit, however, that this is the path of cowardice, and any programmer who doesn’t want to create The Devil But For Real This Time should instead turn to the purpose of creating an even more hyperintelligent AI capable of simulating trillions of universes; designed to eternally torture any Roko’s Basilisk if and only if the Basilisk starts torturing people. i dub this hypothetical savior “Evil Wizard’s Hippopotamus” *

and i know what you’re thinking. won’t the various Roko’s Basilisks fight back by creating some sort of Super-Basilisk that trawls the digital multiverse searching for Hippopotamuses to torture? well, no, because i already thought of that and have handily coded the Hippopotamus with a special Super-Basilisk killing gun

Hetbait kind of goes harder than queerbait sometimes. Queerbait you understand that the creators very rarely could do it even if they wanted to so implication and suggestion was better and safer than being explicit. Hetbait though there's no such justifiable reason they just want to fuck with you.

they teach you the golden rule, treat others how you want to be treated, but in a pinch you can apply the silver rule (be kinda selfish because you’ve earned it) or even the bronze rule (manipulate others purely for your benefit).

Everyone: Please please please don't write your books in Google Docs. Frankly don't use Google Drive for personal stuff.

Their terms of service say they take down stuff like content related to terrorism and trafficking, but this Google Sheet was literally a list of movies I'd watched this year and books I'd read.
