Remember, everybody, don't set your utility bills to paperless. Paying online is one thing, but getting paper bills sent to your house is an easy way to get utility companies to help subsidize the post office.

And after 40 minutes of cringe-Thunderous applause from the generals! Just kidding. Total silence. 👀 🦗 🦗

I think about this a lot. If you've had a manager who managed by wishcast, you know how dysfunctional things get, fast. Same if you have a manager who manages by abuse. It's all Miller knows how to do, and he's the one running the show. Especially the death machine part.

Once again reminding folks that the ethical replacement to using Spotify isn’t another streaming platform; it’s buying music from artists when you’re in the financial position to do so and pirating them when you’re unable to do so. Or simply ask an artist for the files, like actually.

the president of the united states wants to use the american military to kill american citizens on american soil. that's the whole story!

they know they’re screwing our farmers with the tariffs, the bailout of Argentina, etc 👇🏽🧑‍🌾

truly: it is a fetish. The government is only invested in perpetuating jobs they see as sufficiently butch.

Court-watchers confirm this cruel ICE agent has been reinstated. Last week, in the briefest moment of decency, violently throwing a woman to the floor was “beneath the men and women of ICE.” This week, it’s back to business as usual. The cruelty, after all, is the point.

Trump’s planning to use the shutdown to fire employees of agencies that are “not consistent with the president’s priorities.” This is how authoritarian takeovers start—one purge at a time. #ThisIsTrumpsShutdown

I can’t believe Vice isn’t trying to sponsor the Riyadh comedy festival? they were so excited about that particular brand of corporate synergy just a couple years ago! What happened! www.theguardian.com/world/2023/a...

I try to focus this account so it's for my readers, but hey writers: NEVER sign a contract where the publisher keeps your rights indefinitely. For short stories, there should be a point when you can sell reprints. and NEVER sign your movie/TV/etc adaptation rights to a publisher. Those are yours.

Their whole point is to smash up functioning government and use the spoils to terrorize everyone, while installing a state based on mafia-style patronage. Don't give them more tools. Don't fund the terror.

Pritzker: "People of Illinois, we need your help. Get our your cell phones, record and narrate what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors. We need to let the world know that this is happening and that we won't stand for it."

Mike Johnson: "The WIC program, the nutrition program -- women, infants, and children -- that program won't be funded. FEMA won't be funded."

again its truly astounding how presidential mental fitness was The Most Important Issue but only for Joe Biden

Give folks their flowers No, I mean right now. Go tell someone you loved their work right now. They're on social media just say it, it has never been easier "They know how much people love--" no they don't go say it right now to a composer or artist or game dev or writer or anyone AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH

In an interview with NBC News on Sunday, Trump accused Wray—who stepped down as FBI director when Biden left office—of “inappropriate” behavior.

I write a lot. Most of what I write are scenes, hoping to one day write an entire story and add that scene, because that is what I have always felt I should do. I was telling the kid about one I wrote and they said “why don’t you write a book of short stories instead”. So, I guess I’m doing that

They're going to overturn same-sex marriage.

The gaming industry has never seen this but we've seen leveraged buyouts that saddle companies with an insane amount of debt in numerous other industries and they almost always end in the same way, bankruptcy. If I were a betting man I'd bet EA is dead within three years.

Happening now: Trump and Bibi are speaking to the press about the Gaza ceasefire proposal. The real story here is Trump’s mental decline. It’s getting worse. Much worse. He’s been rambling incoherently since it began. It’s jarring. Somehow the press will find a way to dance around it.

So they must have figured out the Mormon church shooting wasn't done by 'antifa' because the news link and trend just vanished from X like it was never there.

Yes, courts often do such things, but, here, the DC Circuit lays out how and when such requests are to be made. The rules said they should have filed this information in late July/early August. And, they didn't. So, unless you also didn't follow the rules in the Fed Circuit, I don't get your point.

I think saying shit like "Nostalgia is the gateway to fascism" or "nerd culture is the gateway to fascism" are profoundly unhelpful statements. Not only are they not meaningfully true (unless we'd like to agree that pot is the gateway to shooting heroin between your toes), they distort perspective.

Trump’s weakness is repulsive. He should be made to deliver remarks on his knees. His entire presidency is run by Netanyahu.

More lives destroyed because of the sick motherfuckers in the WH. 🤬😔 www.reddit.com/r/illinois/s...

SCOOP / UPDATE — Disney saw more than 1.7 million total paid streaming cancelations during the period 9/17-9/23, a Disney source confirms to me. The total includes Disney+, Hulu and ESPN.

So hardly the biggest news to make a splash but I got word of something that happened last week that made me giggle/shake my head at the absurdity of it. So we all got assigned a new mandatory training on recognizing insider threats. 1/?

"It's not hard to imagine that a digital ID system, once created, would prove catnip to politicians and lawmakers who could take it even further. If you've already got this ID system ... why not require it for creating social media accounts or logging on to age-gated websites?"

Whenever this guy starts talking like Sephiroth I remember how he got on Ozempic because he thought he looked fat next to Richard Hanania

Bad Bunny will headline the 2026 Super Bowl, a historic choice celebrating Latino culture. MAGA figures erupted, attacking him for criticizing Trump, opposing ICE, and singing in Spanish, exposing the right’s fragile grip on identity politics.

Further proof the 🍊💩 is a lying sack of shit

It says a lot about the psychology of DOCTOR WHO fans -- and how beloved the show itself is -- that the actors who’ve received the worst abuse when stars of the show, like Jodie Whittaker and Colin Baker, are still the greatest ambassadors for the character. Hate her all you want, she still loves 💙💙

oh fuck off

Dave Chappelle has been telling us who he is for like 15 years. On a stage. Into a microphone so you can hear him loud and clear. He doesn’t like the poors

We're living under a christofascist administration who explicitly hate their political opponents The non-technical opinion columnists have painted a decentralized app as a "liberal" hiding place VP of said administration created an account to troll The company behind the app is trying to survive

Ubisoft: Dead EA: Terminally ill with 20 billion dollars of debt, Dead Activision: having organs sold on liveleak every day, also probably terminally ill Bethesda: see above All that's left is for WB to crumple WB Games and toss it into the bin and the western gaming industry has a pin put in it

From conversations with manga artists: 1) Only about 10% of manga artists in Japan can earn a living 2) Most don't work a grueling schedule. That is Shonen Jump artists 3) With digital tools, assistants are becoming rarer. They have been replaced with software

At first blush, I thought this video was pretty funny. Hee hee … the clever cyclist outran the incompetent cops … like a Saturday morning cartoon! Then, unbidden, my brain started to see all the various things that are so crushingly wrong and depressing in this scene. 1/?

This is a huge 1A issue among other things: taking photographs of a building is protected expression

Waiting for the wails of "this is anti rural" from the usual circus

New from 404 Media: landlords are demanding potential tenants hand over employer login credentials so a tool can verify their income. I was sent screenshot of the tool, Argyle, downloading much more data than necessary to approve the renter. Opt-out means no housing www.404media.co/landlords-de...

Why are so many people trying to hide the fact that dt was the biggest fan and co-conspirer of Epstein? We all know from his past he was in very deep with Epstein.

In a stunning violation of OPSEC, we’ll be announcing to our adversaries when and where all of our top military leaders will be. Doesn’t seem Pete learned much from Signalgate. His incompetence is staggering.
