The rainbow flag or pride flag is a symbol of LGBT pride and LGBT social movements. The colors reflect the diversity of the LGBT community and the spectrum of human sexuality and gender. Using a rainbow flag as a symbol of LGBT pride began in San Francisco, California, but eventually became common at LGBT rights events worldwide.

Originally devised by the artists Gilbert Baker, Lynn Segerblom, James McNamara and other activists, the design underwent several revisions after its debut in 1978, and continues to inspire variations. Although Baker's original rainbow flag had eight colors, from 1979 to the present day the most common variant consists of six stripes: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and violet. The flag is typically displayed horizontally, with the red stripe on top, as it would be in a natural rainbow.

LGBT people and allies currently use rainbow flags and many rainbow-themed items and color schemes as an outward symbol of their identity or support. There are derivations of the rainbow flag that are used to focus attention on specific causes or groups within the community (e.g. transgender people, fighting the AIDS epidemic, inclusion of LGBT people of color). In addition to the rainbow, many other flags and symbols are used to communicate specific identities within the LGBT community.

Fuckin' classic ADHD moment:

Had to register for classes this morning at 8am. So I set like 5 alarms last night to make sure I was up before....But I wasn't paying attention so they all were for 8am or later. Luckily the classes I needed are required and the only classes available so it wasn't really a race BUT I CANNOT LIVE LIKE THIS WHILE GOING TO SCHOOL JESUS CHRIST.

Aside from all of that, I signed up for my first term of Graduate level classes, I cannot believe that I'm actually doing the thing I'm so anxious it's been 11 years since I graduated with my Bachelors I don't know if I can school anymore....Nevertheless I will persist

The ultimate tell that a restaurant has good food is there is no English menu and you have to place your order with the owner’s 11 year old kid translating.

Children truly are the greatest badposters, I just overheard while walking about :::spoiler juvenile humor A young kid was with his family, he says to his mom "I made a new song based on Old McDonald, do you want to hear it?" "Oh sure" he sings the classic melody: "Old MacDonald had a fart, yum yum yum yum yummm!"

Just realized a fart is a type of bodily fluid.

gaming

Friends, I'm honestly considering downloading an aim trainer and grinding for several hours because I'm embarrassingly bad at Splitgate 2.

I used to be silver 1 in Valorant, which I was genuinely proud of because of how much work I put into improving (started bronze 3). But I stopped playing years ago because I really was getting a lot more stressed out than anything else while playing (plus, I switched to Linux). Now in Splitgate I honestly feel like I aim about as badly as someone who hasn't played a shooter game in their lives. I can't believe how bad it is, actually.

I had a weird dream where the singer from Metric (Canadian band) was on a tour with a problematic musician that I can’t remember now. My friends and I went but shook our heads the entire time so everyone knows we disagreed.

Noticing a really interesting phenomena online lately

“Rage bait”

Maybe I’m just getting old, but it used to be that if someone was being purposefully obtuse/obnoxious/incorrect, you’d dismiss them as a troll and move on. Much easier

The internet really is dying. I wouldn’t be surprised if this is engagement farming from bots. I need to meet people irl despite the fact that I don’t trust most people irl because more often than not, they’re hell

Jonathan Joss, 'King of the Hill' voice actor, killed in San Antonio shooting - NBC NEWS

The 59-year-old actor, best known as the voice of John Redcorn in the hit animated series, died Sunday, police said. Jonathan Joss, the voice actor best known as John Redcorn from "King of the Hill," was killed in a San Antonio shooting on Sunday, police said.

A suspect, 56-year-old Sigfredo Alvarez Ceja, was taken into custody and booked on a murder charge, the San Antonio Police Department said.

Officers were dispatched to Dorsey Drive around 7 p.m. Sunday for a shooting and arrived to find the actor, whose legal name is Jonathan Joss Gonzales, near the roadway after he was shot, police said. Authorities attempted life-saving measures until EMS arrived and pronounced Joss, 59, dead.

Joss was the voice of John Redcorn in the Fox animated series from seasons 2 through 13. John Redcorn was a “New Age healer” and masseur, who was always addressed by his full name or "Mr. Redcorn."

A new season of "King of the Hill" revival is set to debut on Hulu in August. In a credit sequence shared Friday, John Redcorn is seen driving by in his classic tan Jeep.

Joss also played Ken Hotate in "Parks and Recreation" and had roles in "Tulsa King" and the 2016 remake of "The Magnificent Seven." His most recent acting credit was in 2023 for voicing a character in the "Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty" video game.

Joss' family home in San Antonio was destroyed in a fire in January. An online fundraiser stated three of his dogs had been killed in the fire and raised more than $10,000. Joss told local reporters then that he did not have a job. Representatives and family of Joss could not immediately be reached for comment
