THEY'RE ALSO OLDER THAN TREES

hey do you remember that time you talked about those Silicon Valley freaks who want to genetically rewrite animals and humanity via AI? unfortunately it looks like a research lab was just founded for this exact purpose and is being funded by a former Google exec, it's called "Future House" and its goal is to "build an AI scientist" by performing LLM-generated "experiments" on living organisms (they have a wet lab), they also call biology a "playground". literally a giant nightmare in the making

Their mission statement includes somehow drawing comparisons to video games, like Minecraft so I get the strong feeling almost nobody involved is a real biologist of any actual integrity or legitimate experience and odds are exceptionally high that perhaps whatever they try to make will destroy them all or otherwise just be so irresponsible and terrible they'll all end up destitute or in prison. I'm willing to bet they'll attempt some pretty unethical things before they get any comeuppance, though, like Elon Musks's fucking monkey brain experiments. :(

yesterday my grandma found a penny on the floor and said to my grandpa “there’s that penny again, pa!” and i absolutely lost my mind because i couldn’t shelve the thought of a single panel Far Side comic of two old people on the front porch in the middle of nowhere and a giant penny angrily and inexplicably rolling through the wastes

“there’s that penny again, pa!”

Happy One Year Anniversary to Sans Undertale being the #1 Tumblr Sexyman and accidentally killing the Queen of England

It's been 3 days and nothing.

oh god what did i do

IT SUMMONS MAIL EVERYONE TRY IT

First #free palestine was suppressed, and then when we moves to #israel, they suppressed that tag too; Keep a careful watch on the #imperialism tag, and remember that no matter how much they try to suppress us, we can't stop the fight to inform others in the matters at hand; Every time they shoot down a tag, let's make 2 more trend.

We're so back

“Where do I stand on the – on the WHAT? The “Transgender Question”? Well for one thing, sir, I recall the last few usages of that particular phraseology. A group of millions is not a question – I have not yet finished speaking – not a question, but a demographic.“

“The Romans had their castrated priestesses, the Hindus their Hijras, but my god, let us take to the barricades because Uncle Al came to Thanksgiving in a skirt and pantyhose! It’s the province of rubes. Hayseed reactionaries and the worst effluvia of America’s suburban colon.”

“And Chapelle! My god, Chapelle. Embarrassing as only a true great can become in his declining years – I speak here with complete self-awareness; kindly hold your barbs – as he tires of innovation and falls back into the soporific cushion of the lowest common denominator!”

“One joke stretched until you can hear its joints popping like some poor bastard broken on the rack. “Oh my car has pronouns, I identify as a bird, I’m trans-Chinese.” The laziness of it – shameful. You should see the transgendered roast themselves; there’s true scorched earth.“
