Narratively having Ever Given getting stuck in 2021 to set up Hormuz in 2026 is great foreshadowing. You want your audience to understand the basics of international shipping in a lower stakes context so you drop the real plot without a lot of saggy exposition about the minutiae of cargo logistics.

This is a Girl Scout troop in #Minneapolis who can't safely sell cookies door to door due to the ICE occupation. If you're looking for a small way to support the citizens, maybe buy a few boxes.

Here’s the report from KARE. The boy is five-year-old Liam Ramos.

If you thought Elon Musk's “Grok” chatbot couldn't get worse, read my latest article: Grok isn't just undressing women, it's now putting swastika bikinis on them. One woman who was targeted is a recently-deceased Holocaust survivor.

Trump's economy is being held up by a massive AI bubble.
A recent study found that of 300 companies that owned generative AI tools, 95% reported zero return on their investments.
We will not entertain a bailout of these companies should this bubble pop.

My family has been without half our income for 40 days. It has been.. very hard.
We are willing to feel that pain so people can have health care next year, or to undo these illegal recissions.
We are not willing to have been put through this for NOTHING.
Folded piece of paper in front of books on a bookshelf that says "Hi Reddit! AMA on 10/29, 9am ET, r/AskHistorians, on manga history! I'm/u/ahorbinski :)"

He was one of the most handsome men of all time! And deserves to be honored as such
Immediately after breaking the news to the group chat @fakegeeklady.bsky.social told a story about Mike Nichols choosing not to approach him for The Graduate because he was too hot for anyone to buy that he'd be rejected by any woman. And I honestly wouldn't want to memorialize him any other way.
At this stage, that's too tame an accusation.
None of these people are unaware they will be adding to the riches of an oligarch who will deploy these toward the elimination of trans people from society.
None of them deserve a minute of our time, a tuppence of our money. Not one.
so many teenage boners ruined!!!
