Everyone on Twitter confuses correlation with causation and I think the site must be causing it

Unrestrained all-caps swearing at a television commercial. 

Along with images of a group of fancy primped pomeranians, the text: "There are dogs living better than you. Don't get mad; get E-Trade."

Fuck that.
Fuck the implication that animals shouldn't be treated as well as people.
Fuck the implication that it's "just the way it is" that people are treated worse than animals.
Fuck the people who are willing to treat any living, feeling creature worse than any other.
Fuck the implication that the only way to get better treatment is to give your money to people who already have way more.
Fuck the implication that all it takes to be one of those people-treated-better-than-dogs is to invest in a broken system (and also to be a decently-dressed white male.)
Fuck everyone who could afford to make a better decision but helped create and air the advertisement anyways.
Fuck the people who ordered the advertisement in the first place.
Fuck the exploiters.
Fuck E-Trade.
FUCK CAPITALISM.

The Silent Book Club, + 

"How two women quietly reading books in an SF bar started an introvert revolution"

"The format of a Silent Book Club meeting is simple: The group picks a time and a place, and everyone brings a book to read of their choosing. For the first half hour, people order drinks, share what they’re reading and get settled. Then, it’s an hour of uninterrupted quiet reading time.
After the hour is up, people are invited to start chatting again — or, keep reading if they so choose. Informally, they call it “Introvert Happy Hour.”

“It provides a space for people who want to get out of the house and spend some time with friendly-minded people, but don’t want to go through that whole awkward small talk,” said de la Mare. “You have a book in your hand, so it’s really easy to talk about what you’re reading. And when you get to that moment of not having anything else to say, it’s totally socially acceptable to go back to reading.”

HAMLET: For of such things are sweet dreams made, who am I but a worm to disagree thence? I might be bounded in a nutshell and count myself a king of infinite space, but that everybody is looking for something.

Some of them would use you; some, that you would of them find purpose; some of them would fain abuse you and some wouldst well be abused.

HORATIO: Hold well your head up, my lord. We shall move thence.

Rights have never been granted by authority. They have always been asserted against authority, and won from it.

TIL you can make mastodon polls with checkboxes by... clicking the little circle to the left of one of the poll options. which is possibly one of the least discoverable things i've ever seen on any website

while i love the prime trilogy (optimus, metroid, amazon), i really think that the 3rd entry is objectively the worst, and they shouldve just kept making spin offs of the first two

2020 is the year we stop being nice to anyone who wants us to stop being us.

Today is a good day for daydreaming, and I encourage everyone to spend a few minutes wherever possible and think about something that is unambiguously pleasant.

Just because the outside world is difficult doesn't mean we can't nurture the universes inside us!
