They’ve raked in billions by losing elections and doing nothing; this is exactly who they are and how they wanted things to be.

Everyone loves Lain :D

1995…

I was 10 years old and in the 5th grade.

And I remember everything, huh? Hoo boy. Hoooo boyyyyy.

First thing I do is write this list while it’s still fresh in my mind:

1. ADHD is real and it will ruin my potential if I don’t face it head on. The medication won’t work on me yet, though, so tell Mom and Dad I NEED to get back on medication when my brain is more developed in a couple years.
2. Also, for future reference: it isn’t actually a deficit of ATTENTION at all–it’s really stupidly named by neurotypicals who don’t fucking get it–it’s TIME BLINDNESS and a deficit of IMPULSE CONTROL and EXECUTIVE FUNCTION.
3. Sugar is going to make me extremely sick and all my weight and fitness issues come directly from carbohydrate overdose. STOP drinking soda, and avoid refined/homogenized starch!
4. I’m about to enter the most painful and traumatizing stage of my formative years. The middle school I’ll be attending starting 6th grade will be hell on earth. I need to keep my FUCKING mouth shut and not talk to ANYONE unless they talk to me. I also need to practice the skill of mindful dissociation and compartmentalization. Stoicism will be my only shelter.
5. Yes the adults around me are morons and don’t know what they’re talking about, but broken clocks can be right twice a day. In this case, they’re correct about homework and studying being important for the wrong reasons: It is NOT about satisfying the expectations of teachers, but rather it is entirely for practicing the skill of internalizing and recalling information. I will not regret time I spend on it.
6. Mom and Dad are struggling financially right now. Dad’s racking up debt while Mom is the only reliable source of income. That’s why they would “hold onto” my birthday and xmas money “for safekeeping”. it is neither kept nor safe; it’s gone. All of it. HIDE ANY MONEY I RECEIVE… and tell grandpa to buy stock in Apple.
7. Express early interest in nuclear energy and pursue it with everything I’ve got. Approach via Mechanical Engineering. I’ll enjoy Computer Aided Drafting in High School.
8. Remember the major incidents to come: Columbine and zero tolerance policy in 1999, also dotcom bubble crash, Al Gore will lose in 2000, WTC will be destroyed by a terrorist attack 2001-09-11, Bush Jr administration will cause the housing market to crash as well by 2008, America succumbs to Fascism in 2016, and there will be a global plague in 2020.
9. I’m a furry and I am not actually a boy despite being assigned male at birth. Embrace androgyny. Get online. Find my tribe. Draw a lot.

holy shit i’m going to make sure Apple stays dead forever :D

Probably because it’s been downscaled from its full resolution.

Also rotated for some reason from the original? Or perhaps just rendered from the same mathematical sequence with some parameters swapped. Here’s an uncompressed one:

there are a lot of pieces that use one pixel per color too! you might really dig what people can do with it: it’s honestly astonishing the kinds of arrangements they can make just by mixing the colors.

The account was since banned, but looking into it, it appeared to be an impersonator account that existed to assassinate the character of an actual person named Danica Jefferies and in reality had nothing to do with her.

I’m guessing some virulent fascist with an ax to grind regarding some of the actual person’s journalism-adjacent work.

this fails to capture the grades of saturation.

Here is every color in the RGB (#000000-#FFFFFF) color space arranged sequentially on a Hilbert curve (but scaled down to 512x512)

sic semper tyrannis

reminds me of this vid:

i always felt weird about it. for me it never quite rose to levels of ‘the ick’ but i can totally understand how it might trip past the threshold for others.

Fell for it again award for tulsi

… china is looking better and better all the time :\

here in the 'states, people always reflexively bark “but you can criticize the government here without being thrown in jail or executed” and yet that statement is becoming shakier and shakier by the DAY. The US government has detained and attempted to disappear legal residents for criticizing the regime, and It’s starting to look terrifyingly possible that they’ll soon do that to full-fledged CITIZENS TOO.

Man. We are fucking cooked.

it’s a shame that when scum fights scum there are so many innocent civilians who will suffer. there are no good guys in this. A little bully with rich parents picked a fight with a big bully and everything that can come out of this will suck.

Linux is made of death. It is The Death.

Israel fucking around has consequences?! THAT’S ANTISEMITISM!!!111!1!!1!11!!ONE!!

Close, but more like radioactive family.

… feels kinda like someone saying “period full stop”

it’s like they’re doing a mic drop >_>

“Come on over!”

“Come on WHAT? Over.”
