I mean, it's not actually a surprise that they think this; it's been pretty obvious for a while.
It is a surprise that they're stupid enough to say it out loud.
Twisted Metal is Anthony Mackie’s best role. We need to see this man in more comedies, the more unhinged the better

We have a phrase in Trinidad, for bad drivers.
It's: yuh buy yuh license or what?
It means you are so bad at driving you must have paid for the license instead of having the skill to pass the driving test because you suck.
Yuh buy yuh intelligence IS BRUTAL.
dude. Reverse.
Don’t forget no means yes
One recently called me a fat bitch. I told him I know it’s scary to be called out by an adult woman when he’s used to the hairless starving babies he wants to SA 🙄
And the MAGAts will suddenly love horses
"People used to be excited about tech, now they dread what data you're going to steal next, they dread what violation of privacy or the environment will turn up next."
this whole missive will make you want to stand on your desk and yell "O CAPTAIN, MY CAPTAIN!," but that bit really got me good
Monster romance got you covered
Excellent new article about how AI is supercharging literary scams targeting writers in @theguardian.com. As Kelly Burke's deep-dive article shows, yes, the scammers are sadly convincing people to pay for their worthless marketing and publishing services. 1/

I hate this 🤣

Spoiler: Corporation hopes to keep exploiting writers until writers forget they're being exploited.
Jennifer Jason Leigh is 63.
Her Sahara dry takedown of Jon Hamm’s sadistic MAGA sheriff in Fargo S5 was one of the tv highlights of 2024.

The GM’s Day sale is coming to an end soon. Be sure to check out all the great deals, not to mention many of the works I’ve contributed to. Take a look: www.drivethrurpg.com/en/browse?au… (P.S. To see just my stuff, do a search on my name. It won’t let me link to my author collection directly.)
Omg please be careful
I've never used grammarly but if you have an account, I'd throw it in the trash and set it on fire because what the actual fuck
Bier: "Over the last 30 years, we looked at all the government budgets -- federal, state, and local combined. Immigrants reduce deficits by $14.5 trillion."
As long as you don’t need gas, groceries, affordable healthcare, retirement savings or constitutional rights, things aren’t so bad.
What’s fucking enraging about this is that every lovely turn of phrase the AI churns out is human-authored. Google each fragment of the below - “forged in dying stars,” “created in stellar furnaces,” “the universe is not indifferent to us,” “implicated in something vast” - and you’ll find a source.
We didn't ruin the economy.
We didn't get you laid off.
We didn't replace you with AI.
We didn't raise gas prices.
We didn't foreclose your home.
We didn't cause your divorce.
We didn't get your kid snatched by ICE.
We aren't in the Epstein files.
Leave us the fuck alone.
Basically, take the amount of money you think your favorite author gets, halve it, and then halve it again, and you have a number that's probably a lot closer to their actual earnings from writing.
"But I don't think they make that much!"
Halve that. Halve it again.
If the Dems who win in the 2026 midterms get squeamish about prosecuting this administration, we'll need to elect a bunch of new people running on Nuremberg shit for 2028. This isn't a joke. It's the law. It's justice. Biden let Trump back in the WH and this happened because Joe didn't do his job
The DOJ is suggesting that gender-affirming care providers may be engaging in "conspiracy" because they're prescribing medications off-label. That poses danger for an important backstop in the event old restrictions on the abortion pill mifepristone are restored:
Cis people need to pay attention to the way they communicate this. They freely admit that after all of their research, they came up with zero evidence that HRT was harmful.
Then they banned it anyway, claiming their inability to find a reason is a reason in of itself.
Blaming YA (or romance) for publishing woes is just code for blaming women.
My god…

So I don't know what to say about this book. Ten years after Saeldian ditched Kell in Baldur's Gate, they're back together for one last job
Kell will get everything he ever wanted. Saeldian will lose everything they have except the power that keeps them safe--but it's the least they can do for him.
