I've been running gdcparties.com for a few years now. Some shitty company BlueberryAI decided they'd just take all the source code for the work I've done and reskin it, advertising it as their own. Jokes on them...it was still linked to my events spreadsheet, and now their website looks like this πŸ˜‰

Hegseth needs to stand trial after this as a war criminal. Between this attack and the girls' school, there's no ambiguity. He is responsible for mass murder and must be held accountable.

A digitally drawn homage to the George Herriman comic strip Krazy Kat. Starting left of frame we see yellow Ignatz Mouse having just thrown a brick which is sailing across the center of the frame and in another instant will bash the oblivious Krazy Kat (a blue bipedal cartoon cat wearing a red scarf) in the back of the head as he walks innocently to the right. Everything is drawn in rough black pen and colored in pale washes. A speech bubble from Ignatz reads β€˜Maybe it will…’, the word ’Happen’ appears in the whooshing trail of the sailing brick, and a final speech bubble belonging to the Kat reads β€˜β€¦Today’.

Most people also won’t finish your 500-word article. So write at whatever length is appropriate for the subject.

Well, gas is expensive, and food is expensive, and we’re doing a war nobody wants, but at least there are no jobs

i work with words for a living, so I am biased, but I really think we've got to bring back words. really useful if you imbue them with meaning and arrange them properly!

I mean that's very much the type of language-laundering that they would like said about them.

A different betting-on-murder app, Kalshi, just partnered (read: gave money to) with the Associated Press, which absolutely should know better than to give their golden goose (industry-standard election results) to a gambling site, but apparently they are run by fucking morons now.

Polymarket is trying VERY HARD to wheedle their way into a more socially acceptable space, where instead of being FanDuel for bombings, they are thought of as An Important Dataset. They just partnered (read: gave money to) Substack for this reason. Do not accept the premise. It is bullshit.

This has nothing to do with the specific content here, but Polymarket adopting the language of news, here with BREAKING, and with Texas election results earlier this week, is BAD. Polymarket is not and will never be a news org or break news. It's a betting app. It's Draft Kings for sociopaths.

Eyeing Voting Rights, Liberals Aim to Secure Wisconsin’s Supreme Court through 2030 - Bolts After flipping the court in 2023, Wisconsin liberals now hope to expand their majority on a body that could be a critical backstop for voting rights during the next presidential election.

NEW: Believe it or not, it’s that time of year: the Wisconsin Supreme Court election is next month.

Liberals have a huge opportunity: if they win, they can lock down the majority of this court thru 2030.

That means they’d have it in the next presidential race, a big democracy guardrail.

If my girl @lillywachowski.bsky.social is steering something, you can bet it has the goods. Now, more than ever, we need a cinema by and for the queers.
