THE MERCHANT OF JOTENHEIM

Barnabus Grymm, the infamous Merchant of Jotunheim, prefers to sail the perilous seas between realms rather than navigate the treacherous politics of the 12 Elven houses of Svartálfheim.

I was just thinking about contributing to the "charity" Feeding America. Until I discovered that the salary for its CEO, Claire Babineaux-Fontenot, was approximately $949,866 in 2024, with her total compensation being $1,113,502. Apparently, feeding America isn't her top priority.

It says a lot about our country that the FBI had no interest in interviewing Brett Kavanaugh but wants to talk to Mark Kelly.

18 other persons were indicted in the conspiracy to overturn the election in Georgia, and all charges were dismissed. This includes terrorizing poll workers. The decision was made because DA Willis was removed and replaced with a prosecutor more amenable to the GOP establishment.

Median platform-gig pay: $5.12/hour.

Meanwhile, tech platforms boast record profits and promise “flexibility.”

This isn’t flexibility—it’s exploitation disguised as innovation.

The Platform Economy Runs on Inequality – and Sidesteps Labor Rights
By classifying workers as contractors, platform companies avoid paying core employment obligations while retaining tight control over how the work is done.

She's seen the light. The light of a future #prison cell.

She is making the case: she was misled by #DonaldTrump and that any issues that occurred while she was in office, were under duress.

She knows what happens when you fall from grace and is making an emergency survival kit. It won't matter.

Happy 15th anniversary #YoungJustice! It's been a privilege to have been associated with the property since coming on board to draw the tie in comic and contribute to storyboards for season 4. Here's hoping that the stars will realign so that we can do more in the near future.

No. No. No. It isn't alive.
Ask it, it will tell you so.

Is it sophisticated? Yes.
Is it capable of mimicking human intellect? Most definitely.

But it is NOT alive. No matter how long you wait, it will never demonstrate volition.

It cannot care. The semblance, however, is impressive.
I made a machine steal the work of a real human being. It's almost as if the stolen work it regurgitated seems like it was written by a real human being. Instead of giving that credit to the breathing person it was stolen from... perhaps the theft machine is actually alive??
can’t fucking catch a breath

The subtext in JD Vance asking for "patience" on the economy: When leaders stop talking about current conditions and jump straight to rosy forecasts, they’re signaling the present isn’t defensible. That’s your cue to scrutinize the numbers, not just the narrative.

Senator Ruben Gallego torched Hegseth. Senator Mark Kelly flew combat missions. Hegseth follows Trump's orders. Gallego said the truth out loud: cowardice isn't defense, and attacking a veteran to please a president is betrayal.
