one day, I want to be a marmoset.

[name can't be blank @rfkorp]

now that i’ve actually been using twitter more again, i’m confronted by the recurring question of whether to more explicitly de-anonymize myself or just hope people who matter recognize the handle. or click the link in my bio to make the connections….

what in the 15th century is going on here…. we’re back to eating mummies again?

[philip lewis @Phil_Lewis_]

Scientists found yeast growing inside the guts of a frozen mummy for thousands of years.

They used it to create a “very, very good” sourdough bread. https://t.co/WmLfBroRIz

@martinlikeswine @pearce_rp3231 presumably bcs yr replying to a right wing conservative. and banks was a staunch anti-capitalist, anti-imperialist, fighter for human rights and environmental protections, etc etc. all of which is well reflected in his sci fi worldbuilding too.

The thing about libel is it has to be untrue.

A Jewish baby born today in a West Bank community will have full rights in Israel, a vote in national elections, and access to civilian courts; a Palestinian baby born in that same community will have no democratic rights, tight restrictions on their movement, frequent harassment from settlers, and no access to justice beyond what Israel’s unaccountable military courts mete out.

That’s apartheid. It’s just literally apartheid.

If you think apartheid is really evil, such that it’s a terrible thing to say about a country, well, you’re right, it is. That’s why we have an issue here.

Unbelievable that Mamdani has gotten flak for skipping a parade that Smotrich—who is proudly overseeing the West Bank’s ethnic cleansing and annexation—and Eliyahu—who suggested nuking Gaza and bombing humanitarian aid—are marching in.

recently i’d been thinking about the fact that my passport needs to be renewed next year and i really should finally get a passport card too. today i was cleaning my apartment to procrastinate other things and i found the passport card that i forgot had been issued to me in 2017.

Since Pope Leo XIV mentioned this in encyclical, this means if your employer is pushing you to use AI, you can cite religious conserns as a reason to not use it at work

i somehow stumbled today into the side of twitter where western european racism has decided many eastern europeans aren’t white anymore. they seem especially mad in the comments about being grouped with estonians for some reason too.

once again riding off into the desert with panam by my side and six months to hope the aldecaldos can find a way to save my life.

@RuggDzy @tiffany_caban possessing small amounts of heroin and cocaine shouldn’t be worth arresting someone for either. this changes nothing.

[name can't be blank @rfkorp]

all the people making fun of it in the comments below and i’m just upset that this is how i find out i missed seeing reona perform at noise picnic last weekend?

[TaraBull @TaraBull]

What type of music genre does this fall under?

[name can't be blank @rfkorp]

@BrookAshley999 @C4P7N @Milkmeray you defined it as new york style, so let me inform you every single nyc hotdog vendor has always had sauerkraut all 40+ years of my life in this city. they also all have onions (not raw, simmered in a ketchup based sauce). these are both fundamental hotdog toppings.

[Matt Duss @mattduss]

To be clear: they’re not protesting against the sexual torture of Palestinians by Israeli authorities. They’re protesting against the NYT for reporting it.

THIS GUY BUILT AN ENTIRE WIKIPEDIA THAT IS 100% AI HALLUCINATIONS AND IT'S OPEN SOURCE ON GITHUB

it's called Halupedia.

nothing on the site existed before you clicked. every article was generated the second you arrived.

the site has one rule: the universe only exists when you visit it.

it looks exactly like wikipedia. same fonts. same layout. same scholarly citations. same "stumble" button for random articles.

the only difference is none of it is real.

here are some actual articles currently in the encyclopedia:

> the great pigeon census of 1887
> the ministry of slightly wrong maps
> chaldic arithmetic — a branch of mathematics where subtraction is forbidden
> armund the river mapper — a cartographer who mapped 14,000 leagues of river without leaving his chair
> the society for the prevention of unnecessary tuesdays

every article page also tells you how many people are reading it right now. it says: "you alone are consulting this folio at present."

the creator's own tagline for the site is the most unhinged sentence i've read this year:

"an encyclopedia of a universe that does not exist until you visit it"

the entire backend is a single open source repo called vibeserver. one guy. one description on github: "a little webserver making things up just in time."

we built the largest knowledge base in human history and the very first thing a guy did with it was make a hallucinated mirror universe and put it on the open web.

the internet is healing.

we didn't do this for the confederates and look where we are

always heard some people have a gene that makes cilantro taste like soap instead of green and grassy. so would think “how sad for them that they can’t enjoy its sharp metallic flavor notes.” and i just learned that brightness i love might also be the thing people mean by soapy?

today my instagram algorithm sequentially gave me a group of drunk russians doing gloria gaynor karaoke, an israeli woman performing an abstract dance over a monologue about banana bread & an arabic-language video of a young mormon missionary proselytizing online. what a world.

it’s simple. you call it twitter when you are speaking neutrally and you call it x the everything app when you’re deriding the platform
