I want to be super clear: if we've never had a conversation, you do not get to tag me and ask for money. If we have had a conversation, you should reach out to me by that channel if you want some help.

"a real jazz musician would never make eurodance music" is a no true scatman fallacy

I STILL THINK ABOUT THE GUY WHO WROTE A WHOLE-ASS ARTICLE ABOUT HOW HE CREATED AN AI AGENT TO MANAGE HR, THEN IMMEDIATELY SARTED TRYING TO SEXT IT.

Can we stop calling them "prediction markets" and call them what they are, which is betting/gambling platforms? My teeth itch every time someone says they're "trading" on one of those things. Betting. What you're doing is called betting or gambling, Kevin.

thinking about stealing fire from the gods. a hot take

perfect, no notes

I'm going to try to do this cleanly. Today's right wing governments are networked to each other. Those networks are well-documented. You can read about them in books. Following the elections in one node of that network is good practice for understanding the U.S. node.

The closest I’ll ever get to being up in lights in Times Square That phrase isn’t Keelah Se’Lai It’s the Quarian phrase I created for #MassEffect Annihilation. The name of my ship Not “by the homeworld I hope to see one day” but “by the homeworld I hope to find one day” I have a lot of feelings…

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

Lula Goes HARD

MIWHT: The Calendar had a bigger opening weekend than Digger (don't check that) but it will still be open for 10 more days and I still have to tell you about it.

I’m not a political journalist, so was gladly surprised at the community I found here last night. To Americans anxious about the upcoming elections, a key thing we learned in Brazil that might help you: DO NOT engage with the far-right online. Don’t share rage bait. Amplify your people. Ignore them.

I'm quite willing to forgive this from a 27-year-old. Welcome to adulthood! A little late to it but happy you're here regardless.

American conservatives are constantly bemoaning the decline of aesthetic standards and calling for a return to tailored suits and classical Roman architecture, but are now forced to defend the Cheesecake Factory. A constant tension between the Brooks Brothers patrician and the Kid Rock populist.

Meta is accused of election interference in Brazil after restricting Lula's Instagram while recommending Bolsonaro's accounts. 1,613 foreign-funded political ads were uncovered generating 171M impressions. Brazil has ordered Meta to explain its conduct.

cat life expectancy is better because people quit smoking

i think these next two events will be our last shows for a while. there just simply isn’t enough support from the media and even from the community at all to warrant us trying to do more shows. we want to be sustainable and unfortunately it really feels like people don’t know or even care.

seems like "on the orders of a nazi every major news outlet on the planet hounded an innocent man to death because he's black" should be one of the biggest stories of the year

Vivek Ramaswamy ran an ad attacking his opponent for being raped as a child. But he's also one of the few Republican politicians who is still allowed within 200 feet of a school or a Chuck E. Cheese.

the FDA has announced a recall of *spins wheel* MUNG BEANS due to the potential presence of *spins a second more ominous wheel* GLASS

Saw an old guy with the craziest drip today

It would be silly to expect day 2 to go as smashingly as day 1 but if you want to really surprise me I wouldn't be mad

Pollster: We know nothing. Every method we've used to collect data is in some way significantly compromised, and gambling websites spin that data for profit. We might as well be poking at sheep entrails under the full moon. Interviewer: But the Dems are up, right? Pollster: Oh yeah no doubt.

jfc I'm listening to yet another pollster describe the reality of polling in this environment and I'm begging everyone to ignore the polls and just go vote.

Daily bunny no.3480 has the beach to themselves

As we approach the midterms, remember that the Alt National Park Service is a merch sales operation claiming without evidence to be a group of federal employees, and is not a genuine source of news about elections of any kind. Please get your election info from a local, reputable source.

Not a single word of this is hyperbolic in the slightest. Buy your friends in cybersecurity the drink or chocolate of their choice right now. We are not doing well

Something I've tried to argue for a few years now is that a big part of the attraction of Elon Musk to his obsessive fans is that he is offering any kind of vision of a future that doesn't require some sort of uncomfortable compromise or total despair, and it doesn't matter if it's never fulfilled.

This is how it works repeatedly with Trump — something pretty much everyone agrees is fucked up then Trump jumps in to side with the fucked up thing, and the result is not a story that's like "Trump sides with fucked up thing" but to change the fucked up thing to instead become "controversial"

We found that as of right now 73% of your campaign donation goes back to the consultants and vendors (!!!), four times more than just 20 years ago. Only 13% to ads. Even I was shocked.

ok but this is actually an appropriate way to honor Bacchus and i think the ancients would have agreed

Antisemitism is structurally necessary for Musk's politics, because the right-wing populism he supports needs to frame itself as fighting for "the people" against "the elites," but as the world's wealthiest person, he needs a definition of "elite" not rooted in actual wealth or corporate ownership.

“Americans over 60 now spend more than half their leisure hours in front of screens.”

That hit the funding goal much faster than I would have ever expected. Now I hope we can keep it going so I have so much packing and shipping to do that it ruins my life. We can do this.

jk rowling says trans ppl are ‘the elites’ in society. nobody knows if she made this claim from her castle, her super yacht, or her office in number 10 downing street.

Subtext is for cowards
