Meaningful insights from an absurd, petty human being. The Internet's preeminent anti-horse activist. He/Him.

This shit is why you can't separate continuing to financially support the Harry Potter IP (whether by buying the games, merch, watching the new TV show when its out) from the consequences of what JK Rowling does with that money She's become so stiflingly powerful that even private docs arent safe

I've never seen such an effort to censor a document as I have the Amnesty International report on gender critical groups because of JK Rowling. They removed the report from the Wayback Machine and now I got a DMCA strike on my Google Drive for having it. It was deleted and removed from my account.

A screenshot of an email viewed in dark mode with the subject line "Google DMCA Violation." The email from Google informs the recipient that they have received a notification under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) that some of their materials allegedly infringe on copyrights. It explains the removal process, mentions that notice details will be posted on Lumen, warns against repeated violations, and lists one affected Google Drive URL at the bottom

what a shame, the world is being denied Ross Barkan's book about the Mamdani campaign the only way to experience it now is to reread Hell Gate and Jacobin's 2025 election coverage and imagine them written 10 times shittier

Penguin Random House has suspended promotion and public sales of a forthcoming book by journalist Ross Barkan following allegations of extensive plagiarism in political columns he wrote as a freelancer for New York Magazine.

I sure would hate if my taxes went toward good things A truly responsible society only supports funding endless war and human suffering. Should any knowledge of these atrocities intrude on ones blissful ignorance, good citizens must shrug and say, “Whaddaya gonna do? Good things aren’t possible.”

Opinion: Mamdani's idea may sound appealing, but it's NYC taxpayers who will take the hit, subsidizing discounts they may never even use.

We can do this without perpetuating hagiography for Blockbuster, one of the primary guilty parties for destroying the video rental industry. Especially in DC Metro. Remember your history—if you want to rekindle video store nostalgia, make it a Little Free Erol’s.
