This reminds me of the question I, and most likely many many others, have for the billionaire ass-kissing class: Do you think the economy will still be great when shitler has deported, jailed or killed all the immigrants, trans folk, people who disagree with him about something, etc.?
@bencmeissner more to the point: will my 401k be worth anything when i want to retire?
@wjcstp That, too (though I just assume I will never be able to retire), but my question is about Bezos and Zuckerberg and Tim Cook, etc, etc. Do they think helping the shitler administration will be good for their businesses in the long term? I'm sure as shit not going to be buying Apple products (I already don't support the other two) while I'm in a gulag because I said mean things about shitler's secret police actions.

r/Damnthatsinteresting - The physics behind ski jumping’s ‘Penis-gate’ scandal: How 2cm of extra fabric = 5.8 meters of jump distance
C R Y I N G for more context here's a guardian article about it with an amazing pull quote that was totally on purpose: https://www.theguardian.com/sport...

finally, analysis i can use
Wouldn't it be easier to just watch some porn on the way to the gate?
@wjcstp I'm guessing that when the find themselves hurtling down 80+ meters without parachute even the most manly of men find their brains prioritise blood flow to muscles.
At times like this I'm sorry I'm no longer in the scientific illustration business
@otaman hahaha
Slightly disappointed that they used something as conventional as a car to help convey the distance.
After all, 5.8m is the equivalent of two Bengal tigers.

I think we're all missing the penis pump target audience here..
Skill issue. Girls be tucking and doing runways in bikini bottoms. Get good.
@joost The real flex is to eroticize the fear

a man in flames leaps from a parking garage roof several stories into a van below, which then explodes
I have so many questions...
In the 80s most vans had moon roofs and hot tubs full of gasolines installed in them, @ba. Masked flaming man launching from the second story is just baffling me though.
This one might reversegif it quite well

My question is, why was he trying to snowboard on that wooden plank to begin with?
@xedrik doin' the lord's work there. *FOOMP*
@me3dia I direct you to the adjacent Stephen Malkmus lyric:
We're locked in to talking a lariat knot to a Cree
A walk in the cotton, a rebel attempted to ski
We're locked in to talking, I'd rather you not than agree
To walking in cotton, a rebel attempted to ski
On gypsum slats, you can't do that

Tom Snyder asking Joe Strummer why he prefers The Clash be identified as "a news-giving group".
Joe: "Well, I dunno, maybe we just uh . . . Too many songs have been written about love already, ya know? Subject's covered."

Collection of screenshots from Firefox's Search Preferences settings. Descriptions in text below.
DuckDuckGo recently added a "No AI" version of their search engine, with all the embedded AI functionality stripped out.
Info about noai.duckduckgo: https://duckduckgo.com/duckduck...
Unfortunately in Firefox you can't modify the embedded search engine options, but you can add new ones and make your addition the default. Note that this only affects search queries made from the address bar shortcut: It does not affect search engine behavior if you go directly to duckduckgo.com or another site.
1: Go to Firefox Preferences ("Preferences" from the application menu, or about:preferences in the browser window) and click the "Search" preferences tab. Scroll down to the "Search Shortcuts" area and add a new shortcut by clicking "Add"
2: For "Search engine name", add whatever label works for you. I've put in "DDG no ai". The keyword is optional but I'm using "@noai". The URL you want to use is https://noai.duckduckgo.com/... (MLTSHP auto-truncates displayed URLs: make sure you copy the full URL within the link.)
Advanced options aren't necessary, but if you have search suggestions enabled this allows you to request those suggestions from noai.duckduckgo.
3. Select your newly added shortcut from the "Default search engine" menu.

grainy, flash-washed (definitely photoshopped or edited) image of an opossum sitting on its hind legs at an office desk. its paws are set against a cup of coffee and is staring directly at the camera with what appears to be a closed-mouth grin. a watermark credit along the desk edge reads "selflovehannah"
big thursday vibin’. salute to all of you keeping it going in this hellscape, and kudos to all of you fighting the good fight with the resources you have.
EDIT: unfortunately do not have a source for the image; it was screencapped from instagram to camera roll, and the watermarked username did not match the account, so i'll chalk this up to "just a meme floating around". if someone has the energy to find an originating creator, do let me know.

@waldopepper thanks for looking! it looks like i saved this to my phone before the post you linked was made, but i appreciate the effort.
interestingly enough, the selflovehannah account (the watermark in the bottom left) actually posted the image last year, albeit with a gerbil instead of a possum in its place:
https://www.instagram.com/p...
the mystery continues!

@BennyTheIcepick, missed your comment last night but hang in there. some weeks just really take it out of us and we feel like we've lost the structure; i think just getting by at the global minimum is good enough when the going gets tough. we're here for you.

To Jon Fishman, the drummer from Phish and currently touring with the revived Jazz Mandolin Project.
Yesterday morning I saw the "War Pigs" video on reddit (https://mltshp.com/p/1RJR0). I had had no idea that they were even a thing anymore. It's been ~20 years. Which was the first thing Jamie Masefield said when they took the stage at the Paradise last night and then they proceeded to burn the place to the ground.
Also a the Paradise is a #bucketlist club so I get to cross another off the list. I've been wanting to see a show here for decades. Great fucking room.

An illustration on a page, surrounded by dashed lines with scissors icons, letting you know it is to be cut from the page. The illustration is cartoony and just black lines on white.
The illustration shows a squirrel looking at the viewer. It is holding a comically large acorn, and there are nuts and hearts in the background. The text reads "I'm nuts about justice! Don't let fascism squirrel away our rights!"

Cathy Wilcox cartoon of 6 girls in front of 6 silhouetted men. The title is [redacted]
I'm so unreasonably angry that I have to stay away from people. I'm feeling the burgeoning, impotent rage that has been brewing since the Reagan era boiling over
@m3moellering Find some good people with which to commune. It is the only thing keeping me glued these days.
@0y3ahSansAcut3 Ta vm. I have some. But they are battle-weary as well. A healthy dose of solitude is in short order.
@m3moellering What @0y3ahSansAcut3 said. I'm finding solace in a band and an art project that I belong to - bitterly joking with each about the State of the Shit, and working on ways to proactively cling to my remaining marbles.
Community heals. It's literally the only in-situ antidote to the dumpster fire, which we're all going to really have to piss on very hard TOGETHER to extinguish.
Fortunately, our numbers are growing and theirs are shrinking. And a reminder: https://www.yahoo.com/news...

@MackReed "Community heals." Absolutely! I am finding this to be super true even though I've always been a pretty hardcore introvert. I do still need some solitude each day, though.

A white man with slicked back hair and a beard wearing no shirt and looking vaguely oiled looks directly into the camera with a "So I guess this is happening" look
He was in a match with Brody King, a wrestler who has raised 60K for people affected by the brutality in MN selling limited edition "Abolish ICE" shirts.

This is like an Adventure Time band come to life. Which is to say: Most excellent.

A quilt with the words "Love Will Win" stitched on top in black. The quilt itselft is light beige with interlocking circles made of various fabrics in pink, green, mauve and similar colors. The quilt hangs on the side of a shed that is mostly light brown, but has darker brown where graffiti, presumably, was covered up.
I'd like to be the first to welcome the quilters to the resistance.
I needed this today.

Streaming interface paused on a movie titled “Time Teen” (2012), rated R, runtime 1h 48min. On the left, white text reads “You’re watching Time Teen” followed by a sarcastic, profanity-filled plot description about a girl accidentally traveling far into a disappointing future. On the right, a close-up of a blonde young woman with wide, uneasy eyes looks off to the side. The background is dark and futuristic with glowing blue interface graphics and the words “EMERGENCY AUTO-PILOT.” A small “Paused” label appears in the bottom right.

There was a series of these pause screen mock ups.
Here they are: https://www.tumblr.com/liartown...
I'm wracking my brain trying to remember the name of the creator of these. This one was always my favorite.
There it is! Thanks @ang
@ang thanks - there are some great mock ups at that site!
@ang those are FANTASTIC.
@bubbalumpkis @billturner Yeah liartown was great! Search is broken but tineye still works.
Liartown is Sean Tejaratchi of the great clip art zine "Crap Hound" (that Cory Doctorow stole the name of).

A piece of calligraphy and celtic knotwork that's coloured in and painted gold, then the outside has a border of thin black ink lines of swirling vines and spiky leaves that have yet to be painted
The text reads: “Studies have shown that it do be like that sometimes”

A gray, stone statue wearing a suit and tie stands waist deep in the snow under a gray sky. The statue is partly covered with snow, and has a few small cracks in it. It is taking a selfie, holding its stone phone up in front of its face and smiling. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".
