In FEBRUARY 2025 I started warning people to take steps to protect their PII because of these assholes. I made a video on TT, it went viral, and the vast majority of comments were “stop fear mongering.”
Let them eat cake pops.
I am in favor of this.
I plan to go to The Gathering soon. I’m not sure I’ll tell anyone that doesn’t have to know before I leave or even after I return. It’s the weirdest “wholesome” I’ve ever seen and a field full of juggaloes worries me much less than a room full of bankers/rich techies.
I cancelled a membership thing recently. I got a response saying they would cancel it after I gave them my valuable feedback.
I replied “the hell you will” hyperlinked to my state’s attorney general website.
You know we are in the end stages of late capitalism because money is no longer enough.
Some people have been waiting years for today’s news.

Warning: I have done similar things to your original post with Apple’s Voice Memo app. Our best guess is that it automatically stops the recording after a certain length of silence but I’ve never investigated that theory. I guess O should do that now.
Iran will never forgive us
have said it before and will say it again, but arts leaders at that level should be fired after bad seasons the same as sports coaches, instead of being allowed to hang on for 20 years because we have this weird idea that nobody else can do the job (see also: Leon Botstein)
Stomach hands.
Meme with white text on a glitchy black background, a variation on the old “you wouldn’t download a car” anti-piracy campaign. It says “You wouldn’t train your llm on a car”.
SAME.
for the last time, when the government becomes the customer, the vendor, and the regulator, and pumps the product into public space, it's not a regular super monopoly and i am not being a dick about communism. that is literally where i think this is going.
(extremely pedantic voice) if everyone dies off you also (briefly) have an end of scarcity
This is why people are so upset when people say Democrats need to stop focusing on trans issues because it's too woke and people aren't ready for it: we're not talking minor inconvenience here. We're not talking microaggressions
We're talking: they are stripping IDs from trans people
Last week, my mother took me and my kids to see the school where, 60 years ago, she was among the first wave of Black students to integrate a previously all-White school. We wanted to remind my kids that Black history is not just famous people in textbooks, it is often the people right next to you.
No war with Iran
No conservative member of SCOTUS should ever successfully send or receive a piece of mail ever again.
I think all emails that enumerate the categories of these changes should also have to list what exactly changed. “We updated the ways we can use your data, read the full privacy policy for more info” is not okay. I want a git diff of all updates policies.
She’s back on the camo, hoping it happens again!
@digdoug.bsky.social I missed all of the Muppet Show discourse (yay) but I did watch the new show (or special?); the one with Sabrina Carpenter. As someone who was raised in part by the Muppets (and variety shows), It was pretty dang good. Better than any version since the original, imo.
It ought to be noted that the Epstein scandal revealed not just a bunch of people wiling to rape children and suck up to people who did so, but also that a lot of elite people are just loathsome bigoted human beings.
My argument against Michael Moore.
The extras for Frankenstein should be great.
I (try to) only buy Criterion during the 50% off sales. If I buy Frankenstein this year, you can count on a GDT box set next year. (I single-handedly made Criterion release 4K version of several films by finally giving up & buying Blu-ray versions.)
That’s exactly what I was going to suggest, if they insist on doing this sort of thing.
Nah, he’s ok. He wore his visor.
Chef Boyardee beef ravioli, eaten straight out of the can with chopsticks.
Still alive. Desperately trying to wrangle packages going out, emailing digitals, making art, and dr appts right now, while I'm still down with the flu. End of month is in a week and we are at ZERO. Tessfowlerart.bigcartel.com and ko-fi.com/tessfowler are how to help. I have so much more coming omg!
Currently re-reading Monstress so I think this is accurate.
