looks like ken's being a little bitch on twitter

After 16 years of Viktor Orbán's rule, Hungary's state television has suspended its news broadcasts for restructuring. The main state TV channel, M1, displayed a black screen with the following message: "Public media must not lie. We apologize for doing so for many years."

Increasingly feels like the fluid nature of software is more a hellish trap than a feature Like having people break into your house every night to rearrange your furniture, reprogram the tv, and swap out family pictures for stock photos and ads

I have edited a lot of sexual-assault-accusation articles, and this one easily clears every veracity check: contemporaneous emails with her therapist, a boyfriend who knew, a woman she warned—all before Platner ran for office. Good on Politico for nailing it, and on Jenny Racicot for speaking up.

happy birthday to the motherfucking GUY

A living rejoinder to everyone who insists you have to go along to get along

I ran an absolutely 100% human, zero AI-involvement at any stage passage of my writing through an "AI detector," curious if it could really tell human from AI work, and it said my own writing was "84% AI written" then asked I wanted to pay to have it "humanized." So there's that to keep in mind.

A lot of govts have limited this guys company in order to ensure affordable housing, but he has a different explanation for housing shortages, one courtesy of an organization too racist even for William F. Buckley. And he also in charge of digital branding for the US government under Trump.

happy 4th of july everyone

Just had to explain who Peter Thiel is to my mother, a woman who has CNN on in her house every waking moment. Starting to think it’s a problem that men like this can just fly under the radar because their friends own the press.

THE TIME OF THE IMAGE IS ENDED... THE AGE OF TEXTPOSTERS IS NOW

Early in my career I DITed a music video shoot that was filming in part at some artist's loft in Hoboken. The artist's work that was laying around was all stuff like this Joker painting and he spent the entire time we were there playing the browser game Evony on his laptop

Forrest Gump: life is like a- me, gasping for air: Japanese watermelon they put you in a box and then they sell you to the highest bidder. Sorry. Had to run here I’m being chased

i can't be the only person who thinks we can solve this with a late-night sober cafe/community center + queer free library that gets in trouble on Instagram for not paying its workers and closes after eight months

I looked up the full text of 4834 and Illinois is straight up refusing to acknowledge testosterone as a controlled substance or track prescriptions of it and will destroy any such existing records. This is really great!
