thank you for all the support; the statement from our union is now live here with some more reporting.

now that this is public I can confirm that the majority of today’s layoffs were women of color. there are no longer any Black women working at Teen Vogue.

I'm scared all the time and it's exhausting. The cruelty in my country toward the poverty class and the disabled still takes my breath away. So many people truly think I have SNAP because I'm too lazy to provide for myself. I'm a quadriplegic. I truly need help.

An easy way to make sense of cishet guys being into femboys and that "not being gay" is that the core of what's always stigmatized "gay" is feminization, not same-sex activity in itself.

Male same-sex activity in a masculinizing context has always been a lot more socially acceptable.

Another big endorsement for Andrew Cuomo. And it only cost $959 million in tax breaks.
'Even though Zhao pleaded guilty, Trump said shortly after the pardon that he was told Zhao “wasn’t guilty of anything.” ... “I don’t know, he was recommended by a lot of people… A lot people say that he wasn’t guilty of anything.”'

A multi-day freakout about Mamdani's chances apparently happened because Millennials were waiting to vote until they could get the special Halloween-themed "I voted" stickers

Intelligence is what non-English speakers & non-human animals have. English speakers who anthropomorphize LLMs ignore that LLMs aren't good enough to fire the "person" neurons in non-English speakers, & ignore animal intelligence. I will never consider ethno & anthropo centricism rational arguments.

“Using mass blocklists to avoid hearing from people who have views you might not agree with is harmful” Do you know how many people I don’t talk to in real life? I do not ask my coworker’s landlord for his thoughts on trans rights, why would I drink from the firehose here?
Can we solve the Gaza Strip famine by increasing the world's food abundance?

Abundance is one of the dumbest things I’ve seen come out of liberal elitist thought. It is the Ben Shapiro “sell their houses to who, Ben!?” moment of liberal elites. Consider how we have an abundance of food and what happens to that food due to our economic system.

Wikipedia founder Jimbo Wales is trying to use his name to convince Wikipedia editors to deny the Gaza Genocide, recognized by many human rights organizations.

Although he's not seizing control, this is an extreme attempt to sway Wikipedia content in violation of its founding principles.

Zohran is stone cold man. Putting out an ad in Arabic after all the Islamophobic shit that’s been thrown his way? Pure swag.

Dems don’t need to copy his politics or even necessarily his campaign strategy, they need to learn how to grow a fucking spine.

N95s can prevent more than just Covid!

They stop colds, flus and other airborne illness.

They’re also highly effective against pollen, pollution, wildfire smoke and environmental triggers.

Many maskers haven’t been sick in years.

Respirators are pretty amazing.

I had a 45 year old rideshare driver tell me recently that he uses AI for therapy.

I asked him which one. He said “Grok— I like the voice it uses, the tone doesn’t talk down to me like ChatGPT’s does.”

He bragged that he had a 4 hour “therapy session” talking to Grok.

Chat, are we cooked?

If your newspaper is giving Donald Trump softer headlines and gauzier coverage than People Magazine, that should be a bit of a wake up call.
