'the accolade' New Pride art, even though Pride Month ended a while ago. I received over 100 suggestions, but there were so many cool ideas among them. I’ll try to work through a lot more of them before next year. Someone suggested „a lady and her knight,“ and this idea immediately came to mind.

This is not a knock on OP - Nextdoor is a trash fire. Not because of the people using it. They are desperately reaching out to their neighbors for connection and mutual support, i.e. community. It's because Nextdoor the app and the company are not community driven, but engagement/revenue driven.

I would really love to edit a Greek myth and folklore anthology written by Greek, diaspora and BIPOC authors. If any publishers or powers that be are listening. I’m shooting my shot.

This has been studied quite a bit, the solar panels create a sort of greenhouse effect for the plants underneath them while also generating energy which feels like it should be cheating but is real and literally only has upsides.

Perhaps powerful men are turning to chatbots because they miss having compliant women they can boss around.

A Culture Hooked on Generative AI is a Culture that Misses Female Sycophants

And we have missed a central reason why AI is a feminist issue

This is the right thing to say and I wholeheartedly support it and believe it but it is frustrating and aggravating that he's been saying this for months and months and, like Mamdani, some people on here take this as a rhetorical pivot after the primary rather than just sincerity.

Harry Potter has been on the NYT Children's & Young Adult Series list for NINE HUNDRED AND FIVE WEEKS, in case you're wondering whether anyone gives a shit about giving the terf queen their money. And know that every pull to publish, fanfic, tattoo, pin, whatever the fuck keeps these books relevant.

Abbas issued a statement concerning the private meeting he held with Kamala (in June, not July, the statement coming on July 1st)

Abbas went on the record in late 2024 that he would vote for Kamala Harris even though she refused any of the demands and asks of pro-Palestine organizers, including the bare minimum of having a Palestinian speaker at the DNC or accepting the invitation to meet with Arab families in Michigan.

The co-founder of the 2024 National Uncommitted Movement, Abbas Alawieh, decisively won his primary to become a State Senator in Michigan. Abbas was endorsed by both Bernie Sanders and Gretchen Whitmer. Abbas Alawieh also privately met with former VP Kamala Harris last month upon her request.

10 years ago, California took a major step to protect elephants and other endangered wildlife when AB 96 was passed, making the sale of ivory or rhino horn illegal in the state. Now, you can help continue that impact! See more about the event here: www.oaklandzoo.org/programs-and...

[Review] This show’s production value has given it every opportunity to really zhush up anything it wants, and this is maybe the first time that it just hasn’t been able to do that.

There are more pressing points to take umbrage with in this (maybe bait?) article but... We had an entire week of discourse over the new Star Fox character designs! I talked about it with the normies in my office!! In what world is the art style of the new Star Fox game a "safe bet"!!???

IGN@ign.com · 6h ago

The Switch 2 is an iterative update console. The Zelda: Ocarina of Time and Star Fox remakes are safe bets with generic art styles. The Mario movies are by-the-numbers. Is Nintendo losing its soul? https://bit.ly/457ge1q

This highlights a profound impact of Trump — the further normalization of violence against women. Trump got elected in spite of his long history of violence against women. He is not held accountable when he continues to abuse women. 1/2

Max Miller on why he's staying in the race: "When we go back to 2015 and 2016, & people in the media looked at President Trump, & everyone came out with allegations. Dozens of women, dozens of crazy allegations, dozens of nasty criminal misconduct. And you know what he did? He stayed in the fight."

In other Michigan news, the state looks set to elect it's first transgender lawmaker. Joanna Whaley won her Democratic primary and will compete in November for a state house seat, beating a primary opponent who tried and failed to disqualify her for not running under her deadname
