Jesus fuck. Bungie was even *a subsidiary of Sony* when I set the precedent establishing that companies have a legal obligation to protect their employees from online harassment. It's impossible for Sony Legal not to know about this.

Americans can't even manufacture their own consent any more smgdh
Are we not even making our own disinformation? What happened to American manufacturing?
Twitter pays people based on engagement (views, retweets, comments, etc). It appears that many MAGA accounts are based abroad and they use AI technology to generate low-effort rage bait.
My guess is that this will get worse as AI tech improves. For instance, fake videos of minorities doing crime.

Subject: Dachshund Cerberus is Vomiting
Hey there,
Luna and Loaf are vomiting their food.
This started Friday night with just Loaf. His vomit was more yellow when he had no more food left in his stomach.
We found vomit today, but didn't witness the vomit, and it all contained food. Luna vomited up her morning carrots, and the fluid was yellow. After the Mystery Vomit, Loaf vomited just white vomit while on a walk.
All three have appetites and are drinking water.
Stool looks normal. They're going on walks and have zoomies. Loaf still wants to eat grass.
Not sure if Libby has vomited, as she would likely have hid it.
We stopped using the filtered water dish, in case it's contaminated in a way that a new filter won't fix.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:idjymrsykgdxgswrdssf6hjy/bafkreicxdponpoa62arwdrbpgn65ysjg2c35e57szvjlbk2hceehskf4pq@jpeg)

Part of this process has been learning to trust my gut again when creating. I became so broken and self conscious about every choice. That insecurity paralyzed me and I'd give up. If you think about gut feeling as a subconscious summary of your experiences and taste, I was denying a part of myself.
For the last couple years, I’d have panic attacks when I went near my computer to make art. There are a few reasons why, but the point is my connection with my creative side was broken. Finally managed to overcome that the last few months and I can’t tell you how grateful I am to feel whole again.

Q: Stefanik has called Mamdani a 'jihadist.' Do you think you're standing next to a jihadist right now?

This is how "fast fashion" works. This is how it has always worked. There is no such thing as a robot sewing-machine. Only women, and starvation wages. This was true 150 years ago. And it's true now.
The people who make Shein's clothes labor for ten to twelve hours per day (in violation of China's labor laws), some up to seven days a week, and earn as little as 15 to 30 cents per t-shirt.
![Excerpt from a BBC article: ""We usually work, 10, 11 or 12 hours a day," says a 49-year-old woman from Jiangxi unwilling to give her name. "On Sundays we work around three hours less."
She is in an alleyway, where a dozen people are huddled around a row of bulletin boards.
They are reading the job ads on the board, while examining the stitching on a pair of chinos draped over it.
This is Shein's supply chain. The factories are contracted to make clothes on order - some small, some big. If the chinos are a hit, orders will ramp up and so must production. Factories then hire temporary workers to meet the demand their permanent staff cannot fulfil.
The migrant worker from Jiangxi is looking for a short-term contract - and the chinos are an option.
"We earn so little. The cost of living is now so high," she says, adding that she hopes to make enough to send back to her two children who are living with their grandparents.
"We get paid per piece," she explains. "It depends how difficult the item is. Something simple like a t-shirt is one-two yuan [less than a dollar] per piece and I can make around a dozen in an hour.""](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ks3gpa6ftoyaq7hmf6c4qx4c/bafkreiber7g4o5pujmzmjjzsp5dkz7blfexburuwjispfpv6dki7akjb7a@jpeg)

you can judge the extent of a legal fuckup by the volume of audible laughter coming from the lawyers of bluesky and in this case I think we're at jet engine levels
Sure. "The Grand Jury did not see the operative indictment" is the kind of fuckup where lawyers literally don't actually know what happens next because it SO fundamental a thing that it is LITERALLY possible nobody had even thought of this as a thing that could happen.
Translate for us non-law-talkers...?
