one of the most mind numbing aspects of the epstein files is that this implicates so many people and feels like there needs to be massive consequences yet it feels underdiscussed. how is everyone not talking about all of this all the time
Screencap of post from tumblr user nitewrighter Me: I don't get it. I thought I was doing a lot better than I was a few years ago. I'm like 10 times more on top of things than I used to be. How does everything feel terrible now? The Tiny Me in OSHA-approved Hi-Vis Gear Who lives in my brain and pulls all the levers: Boss, it's the fascism. You're completely gunked up with cortisol due to the fact that your entire daily life is now underscored with a haunting awareness of the rapid erosion of your rights, dignity, and any and all social safety nets, and you're also bearing witness to the most vulnerable people immediately being persecuted. This creates a natural stress response that basically means you're going to continue having memory and organizational problems, as well as emotional imbalances. Me: BUT I HAVE A BULLET JOURNAL AND I MEDITATE NOW. Tiny OSHA Me: BOSS, THE FASCISM.
Reminder for everyone operating at situationally-diminished capacity.
To report 2.7% inflation for November, the Trump Admin excluded data on food, housing, electricity, clothing, medical care, and most other categories.
In fact, only 3 of more than 20 price categories were included in the calculations, making the report meaningless.
Actual inflation is much higher.
consider my feedback: i loved working at @larianstudios.com until AI. reconsider and change your direction, like, yesterday. show your employees some respect. they are world-class & do not need AI assistance to come up with amazing ideas.
Suspected that Larian was so blasé about their gen AI use and susprised by the backlash because it's already become the norm and all the other studios have been it too. Insanely disappointing.
Genuinely feel bad for whatever games they picked. Those games did not deserve the heat they're gonna get.
Hey look, Israel broke the cease-fire, twice, in two different ways, within 24 hours - again.

Really, truly amazing that OpenAI wants us to believe that they are worth a trillion dollars but also they are so desperate for revenue that they created an infinite SlopTok app that opens them up to a billion lawsuits just so that they can maybe someday make it even worse by filling it with ads.
Just determined to take any small joy people have in their lives and get rid of it.
Cool that we're required to hand increasingly sensitive information over to private companies that seem incapable of looking after it
Another Keir Starmer masterclass
Brother you are the most obvious example of that statement I've ever heard
The majority of city councilors voted No to adopt the automatic fire sprinkler statute mandating fire sprinklers in major renovations for multi family buildings. That measure would have cost taxpayers $0, would have protected residents lives, made our housing stock safer and enhanced firefighter protections. Zero cost to the City & taxpayers. Yet, proposals to spend over $30,000 to buy drone technology that we already posses, moves forward at a time when our city budget is at the tightest it’s been, facing state and federal cuts.
watching even a few seconds of the kirk funeral makes it clear a large quantity of this country is ready for full on nazi authoritarianism and we have to really grapple with how much we need to put a stop to this as quickly as possible
"idiocracy is real"
you clearly didn't watch that movie because when they found out someone was smarter than them they actually listened to him and tried to make the world better
all levels of media in the united states is controlled by the far right tech oligarch now
kind of unreal watching JD Vance host the charlie kirk show. there’s long been complete unity between the right and their media propaganda apparatus, of which kirk was a massive player in, but then ending the show by telling that audience to thought police fellow americans is psychotic
We're witnessing the most aggressive, fanatical crackdown on free speech in my lifetime. The speed and breadth of government censorship and private sector and nonprofit capitulation has been astonishing. As has the lack of urgency/silence from people who've long claimed to care about this stuff.
It needs to be said that by rebranding Charlie Kirk's views as moderate by both right wingers and liberal cowards resets the extremist views he held as normal and pushes the Overton window to the far right
The fact that Matthew Dowd lost his job for pointing out Charlie Kirk’s hate speech, while Brian Kilmeade openly suggests we should euthanize the homeless and there is zero outrage, shows exactly what is terribly wrong with today’s political mainstream media.
The Wall Street Journal. The Guardian. All the other outlets who failed to confirm their reporting.
I want to see fewer cowardly, shrugging "editor's notes" on these stories and more statements of "wow, we really failed in our reporting on a grave matter, and here's how we're going to do better."
I think now is as convenient a time as any to suggest that maybe, just maybe, media outlets should be hiring analysts who are actually versed in internet and gaming culture. 49% of American adults play video games. Most of us use the internet. Current writers are culturally illiterate. WSJ is proof.
Editor's Note: An earlier version of this article detailed how an internal law enforcement bulletin said that ammunition recovered following the Charlie Kirk shooting was engraved with expressions of "transgender and anti-fascist ideology." Justice Department officials later urged caution about the bulletin by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, saying it may not accurately reflect the messages on the ammunition, and the article was updated Thursday to reflect that. This editor's note was appended on Friday, Sept. 12, after Utah Gov. Spencer Cox said the engravings included one that said "Hey fascist!" along with other messages and symbols. He gave no indication that the ammunition included any transgender references.
hi, cis folks!
the WSJ endangered trans lives with false reporting yesterday. it’s still accepted as truth by many, regardless of it being false. the article’s still up with a little note. it needs full retraction.
it's not even a phone call—it's email. you can do this.

Crunchyroll started as a piracy website that would steal the work of fansub groups and lock it behind paywalls, which caused Fansub groups to literally encode messages during the "Brought to you in part by these sponsors" segments, warning viewers that if you paid for the subs, you got scammed
We really need a "Labour Elected Official Safety Act" instead of the shite they're imposing on us.
