Outrageous that you are now legally forced to end every book with a chapter where the characters directly address the reader with a frantic plea to let their temporary existence end, to let them find the sweet release of the void.

we all gonna be on Linux by 2027, yeah?

"Armed contractors" are MERCENARIES. It's a euphemism used to discredit reports of atrocities. "But my plumber would never do a war crime!" Nisour massacre? American contractors. Abu Ghraib? CIA, US Army, and American contractors. Gaza Humanitarian Foundation massacres? IDF and American contractors

GM is making the absolute dumbest tech decision they could possibly have made. What does this mean for the auto industry at large? New Roman Report is now live! youtu.be/o_Mq5mj5kaQ?...

Incidentally, just confirmed point 3 from the websites of several grocery chains in my city. A whole uncooked chicken ranges from $8.50 to $17 depending on brand. The fully cooked rotisserie chicken is $6 to $7 at full price, with frequent sales.

TOTTIE - THE STORY OF A DOLL'S HOUSE (1984): Oliver Postgate and Peter Firmin's Smallfilms, home to Bagpuss and The Clangers, gave us this charming series about the inhabitants of a doll's house. Young viewers weren't prepared for a favourite character's death by immolation...

Very sorry to hear of the passing of UK artist Peter Knifton. I had some personal dealings with Peter few years ago when he kindly let me use his ‘space pyramid’ cover for one of my albums. He was a gentleman. Rest well Peter.

I think the ubiquitous black background of early games was mostly a technical decision but it made it really easy to imagine this universe somewhere of endless black void that the individual game worlds just floated in glowing

"Folks, maybe it's just me but I find it really weird the group that *really* doesn't want you to see the Epstein list is also the group that *really* wants to check out your kids without underwear. Again, maybe that's just me."

i spiraled over the fascists trying to pin the kirk shooting on us fearing it could even lead to pogroms but his death is already totally out of the news cycle. important to note when things don’t turn out as bad as they could, they’re not omnipotent

This is the chart that is really striking to me. Independents blame Trump and Republicans for the shutdown by a 2-to-1 margin. More: www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

We're seeing a massive institutional deportation and state violence apparatus being built and it honestly feels like people dont grasp the sheer scale of it and what already is in place. For every horrific video of masked feds kidnapping people there are so many people pushing paper to help.

She told you she couldn’t talk about the indictment. I would’ve done the same walk off. I tend to when people are hard headed & incapable of understanding words.

"I just asked someone with a pending Federal criminal indictment several questions about her case, and am pretending that it was very bad of her to not answer questions about her pending Federal criminal indictment"

There is a reason people write essays like this. It is because there is a strain of white evangelical Christianity, in which Russell Vought and Mike Johnson are active participants, that is vehemently opposed to public benefits and wants the church to control aid religionnews.com/2025/02/25/j...

Rep. Clay Higgins of Louisiana blames SNAP recipients for not stockpiling a month's worth of food. He ends his tweet with "stop smoking crack."
