“This measure can hold so many coffins.”

a neil gaiman defender contests a response of 'no' to a link to a substack, and is told 'I see that like Neil Gaiman, you don't understand that no is a complete sentence'

you want to see a murder

deploying the phrase “willful ignorance” as a retort is a magnificent self-own

If the CEOs themselves went for rides in the Strait, that would be a good thing.

Private Equity is destroying everything that was good and decent about Southwest Airlines.

I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public.

I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are.

I don't want to alarm anyone, but the nascent cis-ification movement has a sudden and unexpected competitor.

Now entering the chat, from the Greek, heeeer's poly-

i think part of the problem may be the novelty of the cis- prefix in everyday discourse. Maybe we could mainstream it.

Cislate - speak the same language
Cisform - leave something as is
Ciscend - stay within boundaries
Cisfer - leave something where it is
Cisport - hold something in one place

I love how cis people are throwing parties in states where trans people can be arrested for using the bathroom at the airport if they tried to go.

Fwiw Wikipedia thinks it was first used in 1994. Yes the Latin bit is pretty old but the expression is new. Whatever. Trans needed an antonym and we got one. My foreign language was Latin so i think it’s great.

Describing the properties of the people and every other thing in the world is a perfectly ordinary thing and in this case it is particularly appropriate and in fact a necessary distinction because only cis people would situate an event in a place that’s dangerous for trans people.

Lpedoderp, Prithee what is your point?

Three in one week, all purchases from small family owned companies and i am furious

They sleep in a charging lot a few times a day

- 3 med providers in the same health matter. (Fortunately not gravely serious), 3 incompatible recommendations. They know each another.
- uber/lyft drivers more deranged now than ever
- spotify, one medical, others forcing non-removable AI shit on us

Systems are failing

It’s gonna be fun to watch

Systems are failing.
Pendings:
- fmr employer didnt send w2, suggests i agree to accept 1099 (illegal + more cost for me)
- 4 insurance appeals pending as 3 companies’ CSRs gave docs wrong info for 3 months
- every online purchase now signs me up for a shop.com acct thats impossible to cxl

a million miles circling over exactly the same territory? i will never make this mistake.

some are saying it will be cinematic

Disarmament

They put the AI front and center on the One Medical app with a huge live area on the AI button (overlapping Messages) plus an animated query bar at the top and several article summaries that divulge info about me health filling the body of the front page.

Im having some bad 1970s food flashbacks

That’s a lot of money for something you poop out the next day

Just sayin

the Dow dropped after Jan 31 and was back to Jan level by early October… hardly a permanent mark and its been up up up since

I keep thinking this, and then something freshly awful happens and markets go up again.

And he says “But I am Pagliacci”.

That’s only half a joke as my accountant is Italian.

Can you prove it causal?

But he said “forthwith”

now i’m wondering if there’s significant overlap between communists and vegans

there's a parallel thread of someone i apparently follow, mocking this person and yet i cannot find the flaw. They aren't talking about a return to agrarian subsistence, but something much worse.
