not special! useful. not rare! useful.

Just to be blunt, if you want Wired and 404 and The Verge to employ reporters who understand the memes on bullet casings and can connect them to gaming culture while having the legal and support resources to deal with waves of harassment when we do it… you have to subscribe and pay for the work

Cancel Amazon Prime The subscription service is Amazon’s greatest—and most terrifying—invention.

classic @elcush.bsky.social on Prime Day:

"The holiday was invented by a corporation in honor of itself, to enrich itself. It has existed for six years and is observed by tens of millions of people worldwide. I hope you are spending it with your loved ones."

"The school’s transformation in the public imagination, from bastion of élitism into a beacon of hope and dissent, requires a reality check. If the federal government decides it’s going to destroy—or severely diminish—you, it probably can."
