It's been months and that Adam Friedland dap up of Mamdani over hiring Lina Khan still hits like zoloft

They're literally running out of lawyers in a state where the district judges are practically at war with the administration.

One of the best things I’ve read in a while:

Two Amy Ash’s guard the golden onion, one speaks only truth, the other only lies…

POV: you wake up on Christmas morning and your single friends are all posting their pet pictures

Yeah I'd forgotten about that if I'm honest. Her crankery is disgusting.

I doubt Farage and his ilk are going to suddenly start listening to someone whose read a history or law book cover to cover now when they haven't done so for the last 20 years

every post is like i bet you didn’t know this absolutely wonderful thing about rob reiner and each one is different

immigrants score the lowest on tests, but they also take all our jobs, while at the same time taking all the welfare and buying all the homes

damn that’s a lot of economic anxiety

Biden's mental faculties and the case for the war in Iraq. There are also countless others. Yglesias has a track record of simply not producing or citing balanced reporting, and then drawing obviously flawed predictions from said unbalanced reporting

Merchants of Myth: new report exposes plastic recycling as costly failure - Greenpeace - Greenpeace A new report from Greenpeace USA reveals plastic recycling has largely failed after decades of being touted by corporations as a solution to the pollution crisis.

A new report by @greenpeace.org finds that "plastic recycling is no more of a viable solution now than it was in the 1950s" despite "decades of being touted by corporations as a solution to the pollution crisis."

Big Oil and the plastics industry must be held accountable for their lies.

It's Time to Rage Against the AI Music Machine If AI music takes over "humans will begin to echo the machines, and there will be a downward spiral into slop."

“In 1999, I interviewed Prince for TIME and he told me to leave my tape recorder off because he didn’t trust what future technology might do with unauthorized recordings of his voice.

At the time, I thought Prince was being paranoid.”

It’s the freakonomics guys for my money. Nuclear weapons grade Economics Imperialism. Smartest guy in the room™️ books now available in podcast form. God help us.

Man remember when politicians and civil servants resigning because they fucked up was a thing that happened regularly? Good times.

The WSJ used the words "anti woke crusader" in the second graf of an article to describe the new EIC of CBS News. A job that used to be important and serious has become a punchline. We have no real newspapers. Just a bunch of losers sucking each other off in a circle

The white house is aiding potential sex criminals in avoiding the justice system. It's not surprising, but it is obviously evil.

Even his McDonalds order is washed bro this guy is the worst president of my lifetime by far

"multiple customers" is a new internet hall of fame entry

Black text on a yellow background - This is Alice's friend Sandy Ho, posting. Per Alice's wishes, this message is being shared at the time of her passing. Hi everyone, it looks like I ran out of time. I have so many dreams that I wanted to fulfill and plans to create new stories for you. There are a few in progress that might come to fruition in a few years if things work out. I did not ever imagine I would live to this age and end up a writer, editor, activist, and more. As a kid riddled with insecurity and internalized ableism, I could not see a path forward. It was thanks to friendships and some great teachers who believed in me that I was able to fight my way out of miserable situations into a place where I finally felt comfortable in my skin. We need more stories about us and our culture. You all, we all, deserve the everything and more in such a hostile, ableist environment. Our wisdom is incisive and unflinching. I'm honored to be your ancestor and believe disabled oracles like us will light the way to the future. Don't let the bastards grind you down. I love you all.

“Don’t let the bastards grind you down. I love you all.”

IGDA Can and has put together surveys on the game industry that are more well researched than this. Its annual demographic survey for instance is still pretty good. This survey, however, isn’t worth the paper it’s written on.

Spiders georg add industry survey from a professional association who knows it can do better.

The great Alice Wong passing away from an infection leaves a sense of grief so overwhelming that it’s literally ineffable. RIP Alice, and thanks for your kindness and absolutely relentless commitment to justice. Also she would want us to say that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza.

It was actually a pizza slice if memory serves

Unlike the hard working people who deliver me my mcnuggies a 1000 times faster and 6 million times more politely than I ever actually deserve, politicians are overwhelmingly incompetent, unkind, uncaring, and undeserving of the lifestyles and respect they have been given.

Of course Jac Morgan injured himself while scoring. OF COURSE.

God Indigo De Souza is such an enormously corny person.

El chupacabra

I said the same thing when Scowl took the Taco Bell money: rebellion as a marketing tool won’t last forever and artists deserve to pay rent and eat hot food not out of a bag in 2025. Secure the bag.

If you’re on an independent content creator’s ass for taking ads whilst we’re in the middle of what is quite obviously the slow and total collapse of an unsustainable economic order based largely around a probably terminal housing crisis you’re aiming at the wrong target
