People saying "locked room mystery" when they mean "mystery with a closed circle of suspects" - that's fine! That doesn't upset me at all. I'm actually laughing about it alone in my deadbolted study.

I repeat. Roblox is the worst thing that's happened to the video game industry.

You know in the past when business developments like this have happened they’ve been reflected in the comics themselves. So maybe New York is gonna get wiped out in Avengers Armageddon and everybody will have to move to California. 😉 www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/bus...

Cebulski continuing to work for Marvel by moving to Japan almost sounds like a bad joke. But whatever. At least he’s moving on to something else. www.marvel.com/articles/com...

If you call Beira's Place, the rape shelter JK Rowling set up specifically so she could deny help to rape victims she suspects of being trans, your call is not confidential and may be listened to by JK Rowling, who may tweet to her audience of millions to ridicule you and express contempt for you.

When I was writing this piece about the Ocean Cleanup, I had a surreal experience: They assured me that they only kill invasive species, and sent me a published paper to demonstrate that. But the paper said the opposite! I wonder how many journalists just took their word for it and didn't check?

bringing my butch brawler oc Banks back to your timeline 😌

ICE actually took a step to reduce the likelihood officers kill someone—not enough, doesn’t address other problems, but a step in the right direction—and Trump intervened to reverse it. Killing innocent people isn’t a problem the White House seeks to avoid, it’s apparently a goal of their policy.

It's not enough to be against AI, you need to be pro art. You need to be a champion of the art you love, you need to share that passion and joy, and do what you can to support the artists who make it, because it's not enough to hate AI, to hate what it's doing to art and media; you gotta love.

It's important to note that the general public uprising against data centers is bipartisan, and if that doesn't scare the everloving shit out of every "AI" failson then they're probably too bone stupid to survive.

It's going to be a generation's work to claw back a sense of civic unity and respect for the law. We're a society steeped in blatant corruption. That is not a vehicle that corners well. It was the same a hundred years ago. It wasn't until FDR that we stepped back from the brink.

If tech executives hadn't placed themselves above the law, refused to abide limits, bought politicians and flaunted their impunity, then people wouldn't feel as though their only recourse was violence. Not a one of these dipshits understood that abiding the law wasn't a prison but a protection.

In the realm of questions posed during Senate hearings, this one from Ossoff -- "Isn't it humiliating to be unable to answer this?" -- ranks right up there with "Have you no sense of decency, sir, at long last?"

before i go: remember to drink water and take your meds. wear a mask and be kind to yourself. oh and CLEAN YOUR EYEGLASSES.

I have 10 weeks of unemployment left so uh. A job would be sick. Any time now. Any leads. Please.

I don't wanna hear a damn thing from "A.i." pushers about serving underserved communities, etc. Consumer-facing "A.i." is a scam tool for scammers, period.

“It’s just very, very sad that we are devolving into a nation of cruelty and that cruelty is becoming so normal that we sort of are living with it and accepting it, and people who are cruel depend on that. They’re wearing us down, so that cruelty becomes the norm."

She's so unnecessarily cruel to anyone who doesn't fit her idea of a proper woman (but for anyone that doesn't know, yes PCOS can also cause your voice to deepen. It makes you overproduce testosterone. It can do all the things testosterone does to a body, FFS)

She could have shut the fuck up and enjoyed her money, sure. But she also could have just shut the fuck up and left the world an exponentially better place than she found it. She chose to burn it all down and then keep on burning.

Think of how many lives Rowling touched with her books. Think of how many lonely kids she gave a safe place to. Think what a force for good those works were in the world. Think of the scale of it. Now think of exactly how evil you’d have to be to do that much good & manage to cancel it all out.

I have PCOS so her words feel extra personal but even if I didn’t, the transphobia is sickening. The idea of her listening in on rape crisis calls feels like it must be a crime. Like surely she can’t do that??? People are phoning for help & she’s just there yukking it up? Is that where we are??

Folks, be aware we are entering the phase of the scam where people put "No AI" in their profiles while slopping all over their timeline. Trust but verify.

EXCLUSIVE: CEO said a thing!

One of the things that's so remarkable about Trump is that even after he has ascended to raking in BILLIONS in bribes and graft, he still can't resist engaging in every penny-ante grift he can think of

Sometimes the new chancellor has a background in economics and the hacks do a million words on why that’s very important; sometimes the new chancellor has no economics background and the hacks are like “great choice, hope they press the ‘money go up’ button”

About the time nyt editor Joe Kahn blithely dismissed the danger of Trump’s attacks on democracy, he was telling Alan Rusbridger his paper was winning Trump’s respect Such foolish comments reflected the nyt’s warped view of the press’s role and signaled how its failures would threaten Americans🧵

this is why i hate when people do the “haha it’s gender affirming care” shit when cis people do it. it’s not gender affirming care it’s gender enforcing care

A24 is issuing takedowns for all sorts of backrooms content on social media, as well as merch elsewhere right now, that have nothing to do with the movie. I feel like a lot of people were afraid this would happen. They just... own the backrooms concept now I guess. Frustrating

Please leave a comment telling the government that you DO NOT want Medicaid tied to a work requirement and why that is unfair, especially for disabled people. Begging you all to take 2 minutes to do this please.

I feel this way about merch as well. Just make it or license it to someone who will. Might as well, right? Some money made on your thing is better than no money made on your thing.

If the US is giving Iran details of asylum cases, it's almost certainly doing this for countries we aren't at war with as well. Sharing these incredibly sensitive details with a country that an asylum seeker fled from, in order to facilitate refouling them to that country, puts them at huge risk.

The BBC is framing extreme climate change, which threatens to kill billions of people, as a happy fun story about gardening. They even put a comedy headline on it! It's infuriating. BBC News - Bananas! Surprise as Suffolk back garden plant bears fruit www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

DID I MENTION THAT I WROTE A MG HORROR??? It’s part of the Cabin 23 series & coming soon! Trapped in a a sinking house: the water’s rising, and you aren’t alone …

In the US we all treat fiction about somebody without insurance as "Oh yeah, been there, that sucks" and "well what can you do" and everywhere else it's like "Jesus Christ this is a cautionary tale we can't ever let our society degenerate into this kind of barbarism"

Watching The Pitt and it occurs to me that every time a US-based medical show hits "I don't have insurance" and it becomes its own crisis, for almost the entire rest of the world it suddenly becomes a sci-fi dystopia. We're numb to it, but the base concept of "No money = you die" is hideous.

In other words, a woman who was sacked by Amnesty International years ago, finds a way to make them pay.

Threatening Amnesty International with legal action to stop them telling the truth about you is a pretty good indication that you're not one of the good guys.

This is happening despite Amnesty walking back the report, because GCs are zealous anti-rights fanatics.

this game is AI slop. I don't care if they replaced everything, they still used it, still forced their employees to clean it up, and if someone steals once you can't really trust them not to again studios need to understand that AI usage is toxic and our behavior is the only power we have

This goes far, far beyond s28. Hateful and harmful. The opposite of what school need and is supposed to be.

There is absolutely no reason to be allowing random members of the public to buy and set of explosives for recreational purposes in the year 2026.

Journalists who had reported on security concerns around the new Air Force One, a gift from Qatar, received summons

Just last week Rowling was posting an upskirt photo of a trans woman and implying she wanted it and was asking for it by what she was wearing. bsky.app/profile/esqu...

Rowling will get to use Beira's Place as a vehicle to destroy an incredibly important human rights organization through lawfare while utilizing rape victims as a shield for her bigotry. It's frankly disgusting and beneath contempt what she's doing.
