Your city never needs to pay 23-year-old new grads to ask ChatGPT how to optimize services for poor people.

No really, I am not kidding when I say that the data broker industry must be destroyed: www.npr.org/2026/03/25/n...

"the good news is that we have found a relatively cheap and easy way to prevent the cast from going through puberty. the bad news is that not everybody in this room is going to like it".

Weir has been explicit that his books are both* about collective action to save one man (the martian) or everybody (hail mary) at great cost on both the individual and global level. That's political. *Artemis is a conversation for another day.

I just want girls to be able to tell their wildly popular stories for an assload of money. Why is that impossible

Whenever I talk to Mason about his new book, I nod so much my neck hurts, because there's no one better to discuss the human endeavor behind art and why art without that is nothing. www.theguardian.com/culture/2026...

Spinning off from this, and I say this as a tattoo addict: I totally understand impulse ink, but I strongly suggest even the most "yeah I'll get another tat" enthusiast give some thought before getting IP-related ink. Play out the scenario of someone behind it turning out to be a bigoted bitchbaby.

The Epic layoffs remind me of my speech last year: "They're not going to stop. They'll never be happy with any amount of profit and will always look to extract more from us. I don’t say this to scare you, but so that we're on the same page." All we have is us. www.austinkelmore.com/blog/all-we-...

*cries* two cis dudes directing the femme friendship cartoon, I'm no longer excited

Every time I post about endometriosis and dare to make it, gender inclusive, I always get a lot of comments from people angry that I didn’t just say “women” And every time, I think about how Rowling has enough money to cure endometriosis forever. But she doesn’t actually give a fuck about women.

Filipino Mythology in a big budgeted Dreamworks animated film?! Let’s do THISSSS!

WELL NOW, would you look at that? A massive, 24-YEAR-LONG study of MORE THAN 1.2 MILLION people in Denmark found NO LINK between aluminum in childhood vaccines and autism, asthma, OR chronic disorders. Aluminum is an ADJUVANT. It ENHANCES your immune response to a vaccine. That’s it.

Sorry for the flood of reposts dunking on Sora AI and Disney but I cannot emphasize this enough FUCK AI AND A HEARTY LAUGH AT THEIR FAILURES

It’s wise to have an incredibly high bar for caping for celebrities.

the amount of good ms. rachel puts out into the world is immeasurable. she is so much closer to something divine than many men who claim to be holy.

When there's definitely not about to be a draft

the moderate position is: nuremberg trials that include a televised segment in which rfk jr is airdropped into a national park to be hunted and eaten by wild animals in their glorious natural habitat

it’s been kind of a fucking bummer watching people move on from this. mamdani isn’t greg abbott or brad little or the kansas legislature; his whole deal was listening to people and promising to enact equitable & achievable solutions. and when he doesn’t do that, YOU NEED TO CALL IT OUT.

Wait, I am now just learning about Oregon Healthcare for All might be a thing?! www.hcao.org There's upcoming town halls. I am not based in Oregon but heck if they are the first state and gets rolled out to other states this would be HUGE

So there is simply a 375 million dollar price tag on exploiting children

the thing about "i'll just pirate it" for this HP show is that it is *ruined* i literally cannot enjoy it, she has put her disgusting transphobic veneer over all of it and so it literally cannot be enjoyed, even if I wanted to try (I don't) I would see her smarmy cigar smoking face in my mind's eye

Not hp post on main but like, it is so so insane to me that we've had wave after wave of media and news about children being harmed and groomed in entertainment industries, and yet the tv series can have a whole company town style school around the kids and theres no alarm bells.

Current evidence points to modest effects of AI tools on jobs. Bad data, not sweeping automation, is driving much of today’s alarm go.nature.com/3NJ6jdh
