It sounds like hyperbole to suggest the current administration WANTS measles to become common again but I can’t think of much they’d be doing differently if they didn’t want that.
(I think some of them really are eugenicists who legit prefer disease spread to prevention; others just don’t care)
People keep suggesting works of fiction but like. That's what you give people to prevent pet vaccine hesitancy. If they're already hesitant, you show them actual videos of how hard a rabies death is for human beings.
Just a reminder to all the indie devs: You can just post a link to your game when you mention it. In fact, attaching a link and thumbnail beneath doesn't even add to the character count.
This isn't Twitter. You won't be suffocated in your sleep by the algorithm here. There is no algorithm here.
‘Wildwood’ director Travis Knight on AI:
“A pencil is a tool. A paintbrush is a tool. A 3D printer is a tool. A digital capture is a tool. AI is not a tool. AI can go fuck itself.”
so much of disability ‘representation’ is still
“at LEAST you aren’t like THAT!”
“the only disability is inaccessibility”
... and omg that is exhausting...
I don't think $30k is a life-changing amount of money.
Median American born in 1980 will have $2m in income in their lifetime. It's a 1% increase in earnings.
If you're in California btw blame Newsom for the issues you're about to have with any form of state government. He vetoed a unanimously passed bill to help his state workers and has triggered the first statewide labor strike in literal decades.
So get ready for important shit like the DMV to close
well the governor is doing media tours preparing to run for president and ignoring that 90% of the state government is going on a labor strike in less than a week against him and everyone underneath him is too terrified of his wrath to actually do anything without his explicit seal of approval
Ron Perlman still wants to make HELLBOY 3.
But only with Guillermo del Toro.
Perlman tells Deadline, "I’m not interested in doing any other version other than finishing the trilogy with Guillermo. It would be so epic. I’m 76, and if he comes to me and I’m 86, we’ll still do the motherf-cker."
“how do we win back trump voters in 2026” we don’t. we create an environment where admitting to voting for trump is so socially embarrassing as to render them completely inert. you don’t “win back” trump voters. you demoralize them into staying home. you make it a dunce cap
If you need to send a fundraising email with the header “We know you’re not an ATM” maybe it’s a sign you ought to reign in the grifter consulting firms that are alienating supporters with a constant stream of panhandling spam to raise money that mostly gets poured back into their own coffers?
Things Gavin Newsom has vetoed this week:
-A ban on secretly recording people with smart glasses
-A ban on ICE agents working for the state government
-A ban on websites selling your data
-A bill giving native tribes more say over water rights
-A bill protecting transgender healthcare providers
Please know that this is one of my few legitimate areas of actual, high-level professional expertise: Kicking the healthiest people off of a health insurance program will bankrupt it.
Not 'could;' not 'might,' not 'probably," but absolutely will, with mathematical certainty.
I for one won’t be watching and hope that JK is in for a rude awakening. It’s also pretty crazy to be this overly confident about rehashing your already adapted books with lesser known actors.
@taradeenihan.bsky.social Wondering if you have any recommendations for cat friendly heating pads, my senior kitty continues to steal mine, and that's not ideal. Reading reviews these days is a fight against bots, and I know you worked with disabled/senior cats, and might know something?

attacking trans people hurts dem politicians and that take is missing from this whole news cycle. dems attacking trans people makes it more likely you will lose, defending trans people makes it more likely they win
I want democrats to win so they need to defend trans people
In Massachusetts, we have a responsibility to protect the vulnerable and stand up for those who need it. We don’t throw trans kids under the bus for political points. We protect them—and all of our neighbors—because trans rights are human rights.
I'm gonna have to agree with this take. You can't make the muppet show without famous guests and popular music, and that costs more money than companies are willing to pay, because they're short sighted and want to just monetize the puppets without thinking.
Gillian Anderson shared that she identifies as pansexual, saying in a new interview, “Pan, as in pansexual, as in attracted to all genders.” Anderson has spoken openly about her attraction to women and sexual fluidity for years, and now says pansexual is the label that fits her #NOH8
Makes me wonder who does the most magic on the Disc. I don't mean "who wins a magic fight" or anything like that. Who... magics the most?
Gotta figure Coin or Simon (who really screw it up) or Eskarina, who seems to... get by just fine.
