Doctors weren't getting the job done — they were brusque or judgy or assholes (understandably!). So the government hired a corps of vaccine counselors, who would take parents in and talk to them nicely and help them think about their options. Vax rates rose 20% www.statnews.com/2019/08/05/t...

i still feel terrible for everybody, even senior management - whose primary sins seemed to be just blind optimism and hubris more than malice - but there is a point where they are wrong to play with people's jobs like they have. you should not have hired 100+ people if you couldn't give them runway
This bit in the From Russia With Love game made me laugh out loud. You've got a fairly grounded, low key fight based on the one in the movie, then the most video game looking fucker of all time slides into frame.
Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads: The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same... - Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist
Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

Oh no. Oh nooooo. Xbox's new CEO is a natalist/birthrater. How did MS miss this in their opsec? Literal stone's throw away from the likes of Palmer Luckey.
"Will my son have classmates in the future? ...the fertility rates are declining." Then she suggests the fix is... AI?

Gothamist X post Headline: Trans teens across New York City scramble after NYU Langone shutters care
This is yet another example of a private institution capitulating to the federal government’s assault on transgender rights. In the face of these attacks, New York City will continue to be a refuge for the LGBTQIA+ community.
THIS IS NOT A DRILL
YOU CAN GET EVERY DISCWORLD TOME ON EBOOK FOR LESS THAN THE COST OF A SUBWAY FOOTLONG COMBO.

photograph from the 80's of the wrestler Sting wearing a Gold's Gym shirt and sunglasses, leaning against a shelf in a bookstore and positively cheesing at an open copy of The Far Side Gallery 2, a collection of Far Side Cartoons.
what if i told you, through the power of forensic analysis, we are closer than ever to knowing the exact Far Side cartoon that is making Sting smile in this iconic photo. 🧵 👇

MEDIA: Clown emperor outlines daring new vision for second year
I became Senior VP at a multi-million dollar company at age 26. My salary was $600k. This was in 2018. How did I do it? Blacked out lines CEO (my dad) promoted me to SVP. There are no gimmicks. There are no shortcuts.
This is blackout poetry to me

A disgruntled user, canceling their Discord Nitro subscription after a recent policy change announcement. The text reads: "I'm not giving you my license so you can lose it in another security breach, or sell it because you have no idea how to make money anymore after your massive COVID bump. You are a chat service, and all my friends are pushing 40. We moved here FROM something else, we will move TO something else."
Doing my part.
discord is working on an IPO so cancelling nitro is the best move and takes exponentially more money out of their pockets than just the money you were giving them
image of a box that's entirely black with the logo of the MOTHER game in the middle and the words "jigsaw puzzle" and "1000 pieces"
image of said puzzle, which is a scene from earthbound/mother that features the in-game sprite of the character poo and a ghostly image floating above him as he meditates. these two figures are very small. the rest of the puzzle is made up of 1000 pieces that are pitch black.
yo this is an insane piece of merch to make. a puzzle for absolute psychos.

Manos Restored New 4K restoration from 35mm blow-up internegative. Unlike the 16mm workprint, 100% accurate to original release. Audio from optical track negative, also restored. Ready in time for 60th anniversary, theatrical exclusive for a while, no fundraising needed.
Apparently they found a better print of Manos and it’s getting a 4k restoration I’m so happy. That movie still sucks.
