Naming my latest Baldur's Gate 3 save file "A Thorm in my side" and feeling very pleased with myself

I don't know @parkermolloy.com , but the obsession some people have with trying to discredit or attack her is WILD. It's always from people on "the left" and it's always massively disingenuous. They hurl accusations of ableism or kink shaming or whatever fucking buzzwords, and it's just hollow.

Yoga pics and wellness references are red flags now. You're not doctors. You're not scientists. And even if you were, you don't know every person's medical history, issues, or circumstances. Wildly tossing out diagnoses and tying everything to a single disease is perverse and disgusting.

This is bleak: Jes Staley, currently CEO of Barclays, reassuring Epstein that popular revolt against financial elites is unlikely because capitalism and pop culture have defanged social movements, leaving people more invested in consumption than justice.

According to the Alberta separatists' website, there are 18 sitting MLAs of Danielle Smith's UCP government who support Alberta separating from Canada. Here are their names: albertarepublicans.com/actionhub/ml... #cdnpoli #ableg

Also the anxiety of not wanting to piss off editors by following up on pitches that were met with silence, particularly silence from editors you worked with before. If you burn that connection, that's it for you. But you also have this crazy need to eat and stuff.

The spooky vibes have persisted. The street after about 150m is merely theoretical.

Look at this perfect precious nugget with her paws all tucked together and her face all squidged up and her head all cosy on a pillow 😭

Every instance of "AI democratizes the arts, you're classist and ableist and a gatekeeper for trying to stop it" is a slap in the face to the literally centuries of poor, disabled people making art on the margins and a crass lie in service of a machine that strips down and regurgitates dreams

People are focusing on the Rowling part, but the bigger part is the guy posting the bad takes is IN the Epstein files, WORKED for him, sent & received packages for him, facilitated Ghislaine & Prince Andrew, & wrote a glowing letter of praise to Epstein himself. AND he helps make LA Comic Con happen

Every year, I tell my plants

Lovely spooky vibes in Vic today #yyj

Anyone talking up the prospect of multiple new LNG projects in BC needs to read this report. The demand growth they're counting on from coal to gas switching only happens at prices where Canadian projects will lose money. www.mckinsey.com/industries/o...

Thanks (?) to this article I learned about Jean-François Gariépy, a Canadian far-right stochastic terrorist who almost definitely murdered his partner, and now cracks jokes about it to adoring fans who think it's hilarious to kill women and get away with it. So that's fun.

I'm nearly 40. When I was 15, a teacher at my middle school was credibly accused of committing statutory rape. Nobody, and I mean nobody, was talking about like this.

As all this disgusting Epstein shit starts surfacing more and more, I hope we don't lose sight of the fact that apparently every major media outlet knew everything and instead spent their time money and energy attacking the trans community.

Oof this is too real. As a weekend Digital Editor at CHEK I was told "you're basically also a producer" because it was just me and the weekend anchor and maybe a VJ if we were lucky. I was constantly thrown into stories completely unprepared and then scolded if I didn't get "the right voices."

I'm not shocked. Honestly, it's a form of copaganda for the media to present police corruption and violence, which happens everywhere, as unusual and shocking. The details change, the level of violence and corruption changes, but it's always there.

When you point out this long chain of examples, pro-cop types tend to react in a few ways: 1) "Well that's only a few over so many years!" 2) "This shows the system works, there's accountability and they're getting rooted out!" 3) "These are just allegations, not proof!"

Canada doesn't have police corruption we are just smol beans so shock so surprise Guys (thread time)

AEW & its fanbase is, at its core, anti-fascist. ❤️✊ We've been going to bat for human rights and dignity from the very beginning, with many of us joining in at protests against ICE, at NO KINGS, and raising nearly $100K with Brody King for families affected by ICE Fuck Fascism Fuck Nazis Fuck ICE

Guys I'm starting to have doubts about this whole police thing

The BC Transit survey on options to #yyj Airport is up. Most tantalizing is the possibility of service as early as Sept 26, but that comes with issues. Maps below give a glimpse of 3 of 4 options. The last is new service direct from downtown, so no map for that. engage.bctransit.com/victoria-air...

Lotta prisoners wandering the suburbs and downtown of Minneapolis?

Did anyone else not even remotely know there was an Olympics on right now

Dril getting banned then unbanned for posting an Epstein email screenshot is an actual argument about BlueSky still being shit, as opposed to the endless whining about Woke Scolds or lack of engagement.

This is one of the reasons I only report arts coverage now. On top of having a full-time job I have to prioritize and be aware of conflicts-of-interest, I'm also completely on my own for liability and defamation. If I run into a legal issue, there's no one who's going to help me.

What part of this is illegal tho It's your own fault for offering motorized shopping carts And Orlando public ordnance says you can't have open alcohol on PUBLIC property Target ain't public Free her

Oh he wants that floor-crosser so bad he can TASTE it

Yes, they won't leave Imane Khelif alone. Just like they wouldn't leave Caster Semenya alone. Even though both are cisgender, they don't fit the feminine. Which is why gender-division in sport is actually fucking stupid, and a tool of the patriarchy.

I try not to yuck other people's yum, but it is fascinating to me that fans are loyal to ASOIAF after Game of Thrones. For me, Dunk and Egg, HotD, etc. all lead to the same conclusion: a rape victim murdered by domestic violence cause she brought evil foreigners to Westeros and Bitches Be Crazy.

I swear to Sagan if any of these kids face charges their parents had better bring at least the same level of fury to the corrupt-ass system that gave rise to this bullshit in the first place.

On trans Bluesky, there are many posts circulating describing Epstein's anti-trans views and ties to prominent transphobes. Anti-trans politics fit neatly into all of this because the existence of trans people threatens the idea that men are naturally superior to women.

Act now! The highly-profitable science fiction magazine sector makes a great investment opportunity. For only $3.99/month you can get 1 subscription which yields 1 epub issue/month. That's 12/year! So many words! So much value! clarkesworldmagazine.com/subscribe/

If you campaigned for the presidency on a promise to destroy these assholes, you would win a landslide the size of FDR in 1936, when he campaigned on a promise to destroy these assholes.

The "robots are going to do all the menial work for us" future wouldn't be perilous except that it's being pushed by a billionaire class of psychopaths long-dead inside from being completely cut off from humanity, who sincerely want the rest of us dead.

Need to add a new dating criteria: no antisocial personality disorders. Unfortunately, it seems my current screening process for this is to blunder ass-first into it.

Somalis are the new Jews, apparently.

While I worked the Victoria Bike Valet downtown, I was around a lot of people on a lot of substances. The only ones who ever physically threatened me all smelled of alcohol and had visible signs of alcohol inebriation. One was actually holding a beer can in one hand while his other held a knife.

...why Chucky tho.

*Groundhog, emerging from burrow* Good lord people, I'm a dirt-dwelling filth rodent, not a scientist. Do you ask a wombat about your molars? I come here to stress-smoke about climate change. You'd do it too with any sense. *re-burrows* *re-emerges* And learn the El Nino/La Nina cycle *re-burrows*

"Do you want the newspaper to add 'and that's illegal and bad' to every article about Trump?" Yeah man. I do want that.

it’s not necessarily that all these people in the epstein files participated in the raping of girls it’s that none of them cared and if he hadn’t been arrested and died they’d still be out there trying to be his friend

When they say Me Too "went too far," they mean "got too close."
