“Because the truth is, tech doesn’t have an image problem. It doesn’t have a message problem. It has an intention problem. What’s wrong with the axe murderer who broke into my house is not that he hasn’t successfully persuaded me to buy into his narrative. What’s wrong is that he’s trying to kill me with an axe. Similarly, when you launch a product that’s designed to put millions of people out of work, block access to sources of verifiable truth, replace human creativity with slop, and lower the barriers to every sort of atrocity, the problem isn’t that you haven’t told the public a good story about those things. The problem is that you are trying to do them.”

Everyone should be aware of nitter.net

for any address to twitter you can replace the “x.com” with “nitter.net” and you will be able to browse as if you have an account. Lifesaver.

Similarly, imginn.com works for most Instagram addresses. I still haven’t found one for Facebook.

Sending this first one to @virtualgirladvance because it's a little janky and she's told me "I love the jank"

Have you ever gotten an exact match?

if by "exact match" you mean "100% of the letters in this post match 100% of an organism's entire genome," then the chances of that happening by pure accident are so ridiculously small, you'd have better odds buying 100 lottery tickets and winning all of them!

one of the cool reasons this blog works in any capacity is because genomes are so ridiculously big that the chances of a random string of letters accidentally matching part of one is very high. the human genome is ~3,200,000,000 base pairs (or "letters") long. that's about 1,000 times the length of the entire bible. pretty long for a tumblr post!

but even in the case of the smallest possible genomes, such as bacterial endosymbionts (famous for having tiny genomes) with only 100,000 base pairs, it'd still be practically impossible. you'd need to accidentally type the letters a, t, c, and g in the correct sequence 100,000 times to get a perfect match. imagine flipping 100,000 coins and getting heads on all of them. ok now imagine a cat named big boobs

here's two articles about how JK Rowling just posted on X an upskirt photo of Freda Wallace, a transgender woman, after deadnaming her and misgendering her repeatedly online.

The wealthy author escalated a social media spat that resulted in posting a photo from a 2023 event at the Institute of Economic Affairs in

Rowling posted the picture taken from below because the trans woman, she said, was "refusing to debate me."

Apathy is not a great practice to commit to your entire life, but I will say it has saved me from being weird enough about celebrities to buy their trash or form incredibly parasocial relationships with them

#and while that doesn’t make me better than everyone #it DOES make me better than swifties #y’all need help

kind of weird how parts of your soul are left in various locations without any warning… like yes i’m always at the top of that hill, sitting at the bus stop, in the cool light of the Japanese restaurant, standing at the pier etc etc

I want to put soup in my giant glass bowl so I can see a cross section of it, but I also don’t want to wash a giant bowl that I only filled about a quarter of the way with soup, do we see my problem here

#I need smaller glass bowls lmao
