NYTimes: affirmative action for mediocre editors angry at MeToo@originalist.bsky.social · last mo.Indictment of Mark Zuckerberg, toxic corporate culture, Meta president Joel Kaplan (who was part of Brooks Brothers riot and the violent conspiracy to overturn 2000 election for Bush!) And complicit, lazy antitrust law enforcement allowing Instagram, WhatsApp, Facebook, all controlled as a monopoly
this was difficult to read, but it's important to know people are currently in prison for 50+ years for attending a protest + one wasn't even at the protest, but got sentenced for 30 years for "concealing" anarchist zines

We had to put up with years of "git gud" and "learn to code" from gamers and programmers but somehow "git gud" is not an acceptable response when sloppers insist that they can't possibly create art for their game without AI

One of the less acknowledged casualties of the Thirty Minute Description-Masquerading-As-Analysis Video Industrial Complex is that folks who get their media interpretation primarily from those videos seem to end up struggling with the idea that sometimes artists do things on purpose.
This is brilliant. Also, if you’re too shy to do ad reads, playing any very recognisable big-label pop music (Taylor, Billie Eilish, Beatles, etc) loudly in the vicinity will make the harasser’s video essentially unpostable

i take this out every time someone tries to use the word weird like it's the same as being a literal criminal
I know there’s a lot going on but I really feel like we should have nailed down the complex technology of “peanut butter seal that doesn’t make you wish for death” like a long time ago
Well, if we are going to be honest about Name a character that deserved better. Zul'jan.

His charges, btw, were for things like “hacking and emptying ordinary people’s bank accounts,” not “tee hee uwu stealing an ad.” Blows my mind how folks online are willing to run PR for cybercriminals.
This guy is a huge POS and one of the reasons I'm buying a gd sticker printer and offering competitive pricing ASAP to the community that far undercuts Stickermule's pricing. Hit 'em where it hurts and let 'em know it was a trans person who did it to 'em ;) 🏳️⚧️
Aleksandra Vaca@transiticsnews.com · 3mo ago1. On Tuesday and with Trump's backing, Sticker Mule CEO Anthony Constantino won a competitive New York House primary—and likely a seat in Congress—after running on "aggressively detransitioning America." His extreme rhetoric must be a warning to us all.
Oh but how could I forget, we're going to half-ass important plot beats for 2 expansions straight but when we DO saddle up to make A Bold Statement, it's going to be so we can invalidate the Amani and aaaall the pre-established lore about them. Because fuck you
🌺🥭🍉 Raf 🍋🍇🌿@frutavel.bsky.social · 3w agoI'm going to sound like a conspiracy theorist but I think since Shadowlands was received so poorly the writers have been afraid of making hard statements, from big lore things to minor gameplay aspects. I noticed it when they gave us the Murozond fake out back during DF and it still persists
It's almost like the lesson they took away from SL's reception was "telling a story with lingering consequences was bad" and not "completely changing pre-stabilished truths in a game with over two decades worth of lore in favor of completely new bullshit that makes no sense was bad"

*sigh* An "AI" does not "escape containment", as breathless news articles claim. It is *told to do something by its programmers*, then it *goes and does what it's been told*, then the corporation it belongs to releases a statement to drive fear-based engagement and media laps up the lie.
DO NOT APPLY TO OR ATTEND THIS SHOW. I don't care if it's in your backyard. You can bet that every convention runner is watching this and the bad ones are salivating at this idea of $150 application fees, plus jacked up booth rates. If it works for this show, they WILL try it at theirs.

I had this conversation with a young man a few weeks ago. I told him that a lot of straight men don’t like women. They fall in love with them, they like having sex with them, but do they LIKE them? Not at all. They hate everything feminine. They see it as weak and silly.

For reference: When I had my background check it was held up because I had a speeding ticket from when I went home sophomore year in college that I forgot to put on my SF-86. I got grilled about why I didn’t disclose it (they eventually believed it was mistake). The FBI as we knew it is gone.

I mention Jon Oliver because he made multiple episodes about Brazil, supporting the corruption claims that led to Lula's arrest and a right-wing coup in 2016 The coup government gave away our oil & resources to US companies Dilma & Lula were proven innocent Jon never once mentioned how wrong he was
This is why self-determination is absolutely vital. And it's why I despise Americans who watch something on Fox News, Jon Oliver or TikTok and start talking about "helping those people". That's exceptionalism brain rot - you're not the "world police", you're an invader, a pillager, a colonizer.

I feel like placing bets on the weather just fully drops the whole “knowledge generation” facade they’ve been running with? What aggregate expertise are you possibly sampling? You’re letting people put down money on a random number generator.
