You know what would be an incredible boost to the economy?
Money!
I had to stare at this a few times before I was like wait...not really *that* Larry Nassar, right? Did Epstein literally know all the biggest monsters in the world, catch-em-all style?
Streisand effect, go!
I'm hoping one day I'll be hired/live outside of the state and can speak freely again without fear of being targeted by dangerous weirdos. I miss having social media as an outlet.
You know how I know there's an AI bubble? Disney, one of the most IP protective brands out there, is just going to let them use Disney characters in Sora. Does that sound like Disney thinks the technology is any financial threat to them?
I will never forget having to edit Jamalβs final, posthumous piece for the Washington Post, after he was murdered.
He was calling for free expression in the Arab world. You can read it here :

I know everyone has their pet triggers with all this darkness flippantly being tossed at us, and for me, it's Jamal Khashoggi's murder. The president defending a royal against a journalist he had slaughtered with a chainsaw might be one of the more disgusting moments of the last ten years.
lilsimsie has more integrity and strength than entire multibillion dollar political entities
Billionaires Are Hoarding Power, Not Money. Also Money.
Did a car write this
Patrick Cosmos @veryimportant.lawyer: working on a new unified theory of american reality i'm calling "everyone is twelve now" "I'm strong and want to have like fifty kids and a farm" of course you do. You're twelve. "I don't want to eat vegetables I think steak and French fries is the only meal" hell yeah homie you're twelve. "Maybe if there's crime we should just send the army" bless your heart my twelve year old buddy
Another confirmation of the "everyone is twelve now" theory.
what I wouldn't give for small creatives and producers to stop selling their companies and IP. we need a new generation of leaders in the creative industries, and that comes with the learning curves of bringing up your own stories.
iβm not going to be lectured about political violence by people whose politics is violence
friendly reminder that every time something happensβ’οΈ people get on beyonce's internet and say things with absolute certainty like "i have a bad feeling, things are gonna get worse now" but here's a secret:
that is called anxiety. those people do not have Special Inner Knowledge, they have anxiety.
This sounds wacky but it is backed up by science.
Hey, a fun thing to do today is support some awesome trans and non-binary creators! π©΅π©·π€π©·π©΅
And heβs RIGHT
Realizing I may be fated to one day become the single old lady, no kids, with mysterious habits, who appears ghostlike from the fog in the background of a tween caperβ¦I say something like, βDonβt go down that road!β
we used to build household shrines to Going On The Computer and it's no coincidence that as we abandoned these we started straying further from god's light
It's cool how "no one is above the law" is something people now only say to troll people. Nobody believes it!
My entire time today at Gamescom in the back of my head I was thinking βM. Night Shyamalan should make the next Trap movie here.β
Gerrymandering is now done by professionals who use software to prevent "dummymanders" (districts that might trend the wrong way for their party). If you normalize mid-decade redistricting, a party could stay in power forever by re-adjusting the maps every two years.
Basic stuff!
Tumblr post by existennialmemes that says "Can't believe we're doing The great depression and nazis again. We literally did this already. I am sick of these low quality reboots no one wanted."
What I've been saying.
oh we got an eloquence cam already set up and ready to go, hell yeah. UNLEASH COLBERT.
I can finally share ep 1 of "The Hidden Stacks," a #DND actual-play adventure featuring a cast of UNT students in a party adventuring across the world of Ditanna with myself as the DM. The next episodes will be out over the next month. Stay tuned! #DungeonsAndDragons

Happy Bastille Day to those who revolt.
The amount of people Iβve diagnosed with illnesses accurately before they get tests done has risen once more. Iβm in double digits. This is all thanks to my years of hypochondria and watching medical dramas. Lmao
Jesus, the trouble I used to get in saying the Obama admin needed to prosecute absolutely everybody for Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo. "Think of the election." "Be practical." "Play the long game." What fucking ever. All those people belong in the prisons they build for others.
You can quickly out the film majors in the room when a bunch of us library staff are standing around watching the setup of a new 4k projector and going βooooβ at how good βThe Red Shoesβ looked even with the overhead lights onβ¦lmao
