Reddit screenshot from Glasgow thread. Bright flames rising out the side of a Victorian building.

Video screenshot from Reddit. Building is now a shell with flames visible in every window.

The roof has collapsed embers rise into the night sky.

The fire at Glasgow central station is utterly devastating. Shops, homes and our transport link to England are being wiped out.
I am amazed by the limited news coverage.

teewatterss on Threads: “losing an hour on international women's day feeling very 75 cents on the dollar”

10/10 take. no notes

I could keep going but this thread would be 80 posts long. Since ReedPop took over ECCC it’s been death by 1000 cuts year after year with the way they treat their exhibitors and it’s finally too much for me, unfortunately.

Screenshot of the Forbes article about ReedPop, the highlighted quote says: "We're competing with Coachella, we're competing with spring break and with all kinds of other big events.”

ReedPop wants to be Coachella but if it doesn’t improve its management, organization and greed it’ll end up being Altamont.

Who will be the first to say we’ve been at war with Iran since Thermopylae?

Russia helping Iran because they want this shit to go on as long as possible to the point if an oil tanker doesn’t explode in Hormuz soon they’ll do it themselves to lock in $200 a barrel

I just kinda never expected the community around reading books to become illiterate.

Tristan is going to become the book Joker

Trump is gonna end up like Hitler and Manson, in that after all this is over, people are going to speculate on how it was possible for so many people to be inspired to commit such evil by an obviously unimpressive loser.

THEN - just last night, after Foxy Shazam, a business I frequent told me that I saved their stores by referring them to my work for trading card games. They were on the verge of shutting down if they didn't diversify - & now they're stable & have been for months.

I fucking love this industry.

I had half a dozen people stop me in the exhibit hall aisles, who didn't even go to my panels, & tell me they heard my advice & were taking heed.

Everytime I'm frustrated in tabletop, I'll remind myself that I got to say "hire a diverse staff" and "contract sensitivity consultants" to 200+ people's faces last week during 3 different GAMA Expo panels (crisis communications, authentic allyship, and marketing to distributors) & most will do it

The Dignity Wraiths Theory remains undefeated

This is a really good point but has also made me laugh remembering that in the last few seconds of Teen Titans Go To The Movies, Robin realises they haven't covered any serious topics for tricky discussions on the ride home & so implores kids in the audience to ask where babies come from

I could never extoll the value of auto feeders more than when they wanna eat at 6:30 am instead of 7:30 lol

one of the most heartbreaking things about working in public media is watching NPR platform some of the most brainless fucking nonsense you've ever seen because they're scared of people who'll never consume their journalism anyway

lmfao fuck. burn it all down lol

man,

he actually does clean it a lot and now we all have to deal with the fact that the deranged man who shits with the seat up probably has a cleaner toilet than a lot of us and I don't know how to process this information

Indiana University fires student newspaper adviser who refused to block news stories Tension between Indiana University and its student newspaper flared this week with the elimination of the outlet’s print editions and the firing of a faculty adviser, who refused an order to keep news...

"Blocked from publishing a print edition, the paper this week posted a number of sharp-edged stories online, including coverage of the opening of a new film critical of arrests of pro-Palestinian demonstrators last year,a tally of campus sexual assaults"

This. A bunch of shitty dudes got famous and made bank on harassing women during gamergate and then similar guys did the same thing to take over conservative politics and that's the world we live in now, but gamer fascism continues to grow bc companies make too much $ from them. It's hell.

i’m taking all your days

hand em over

I’m abstaining from International Women’s Day because I’m not satisfied by only having one, everyday is my day go fuck yourself 🙂‍↕️🫵

A someone with ADHD too: get absolutely fucked, mate

I will never believe we're cooked. But I do think that a lot of leftists who consume a ton of social media need to ask how and why they end up repeating lightly laundered far-right discourse.

Was going to make a joke but it's actually REALLY bad they feel confident enough to say this shit out loud.

where do you make friends like this? I desperately need more unhinged in my life
