They sell ANDOR action figures, of course, and of course the audience is 35-50-year-olds, but it's deeply funny to imagine children playing with little Luthen Rael and Saw Gerrera dolls. CHILD 1: I think violence is not only justified, but demanded CHILD 2: I agree, but haste could be our undoing

As a therapist and a healthcare worker, chatbots are becoming a public health crisis, and I’m tired of hearing people who don’t see the harm every day explain why this is totally fine and just like people pearl-clutching over cellphones. It’s getting worse and we haven’t scratched the surface.

According to Federal Reserve economists, without Trump's tariffs, inflation would have dropped to pre-pandemic levels last year. Instead, core goods prices were up 3.1% by February 2026 — and Trump's Iran War will send prices skyrocketing even higher. Tired of winning yet?

Think of it this way: using ChatGPT is like employing a scheming eunuch whose obsequious lies will make your life difficult and embarrassing.

Oh man, Star Trek Resurgence delisted already on consoles, and getting pulled from Steam imminently store.steampowered.com/app/2653940/... This was one of the better Star Trek things in years. Really nailed the look/feel of TNG era, but isn't just reliant on nostalgia.

Exactly one (1) pledge out of 1,510 (and counting) on Iron Circus' current crowdfund is traceable to Twitter. Nothing we haven't come to expect, though. Honestly: if you think you HAVE to be over there, for business/attention reasons? Nah, you're wrong. It's literally not worth your time.

she *literally* can't give it away fast enough

Just to give a sense of the insane scale of billions of dollars…MacKenzie Scott got about $38 billion after divorcing Bezos in 2019. She has become the world’s most generous philanthropist, giving away over $19 billion…and she’s currently wealthier than she started. Just. Tax. Them.

I don't think a grandma should have to do DoorDash to pay for her husband's cancer treatments

so this guy just lied? and everyone believed it without question? wow that's crazy

As a reminder you should be getting the fuck off of Substack.

A worker died at an Amazon warehouse in Oregon last week. For more than an hour, workers were instructed to continue working as the man lay dead. One worker wanted to help, but a manager told them to “Just turn around and not look. Let’s get back to work," according to @thewesternedge.bsky.social.

John Deere has to pay farmers $99 million to resolve a class action right-to-repair lawsuit. The company will also provide farmers with access to repair materials for 10 years. www.reuters.com/sustainabili...

Thousands of workers are threatening to strike at the Los Angeles World Cup stadium. The SoFi Stadium plans to host two of the three US Men's World Cup matches, but now 2,000 cooks, servers, bartenders and more may strike. Their main issue? ICE being present at the World Cup.

This is Sadie. She was finally reunited with her human, astronaut Christina Koch, after her mom’s voyage around the moon took her the furthest any human has ever been from their dog. She can't wait to hear all about the universe. 14/10 (IG: astro_christina)

anyone who says people opposing data centers are just nimbys need to stop echoing industry propaganda and see what it’s actually like to live near one

Hi all, recently a close friend of mine passed away. Their widower has a GoFundMe to help support them with their sudden passing. Please donate whatever you can, and please also repost this. Thank you. gofund.me/f9d114ef7

I had to look this up. It's TRUE. 😮 Before 1974, banks typically required a father's or husband's signature in order for a woman to open a credit card account. HOLEEEE SHIT. In my lifetime?!! The patriarchy really sucks. #ArtemisII
