Everybody talks about the "O'Brien must suffer" trope in DS9, but the number of times they put Kira Nerys on a mission that required her to cooperate with Dukat is peculiarly sadistic.

What I don't get about chronic generative text AI users. Is that they're happy someone constantly validates & agrees with them. Do people know, if that's happening in real life, they're either being scammed or surrounded by yesmen. It's unnatural to always be in the right.
what troubles me isn't so much that it generates these fucking stupid sycophantic fanfics about you, but that that's all it seems to take to drive people insane?
nobody has any kind of fortitude stronger than that?

📽️ WATCH: The U.S. government doesn’t track how often immigration agents detain citizens. So ProPublica did.

We found more than 170 incidents since the start of Trump’s second term. Americans have been kicked, dragged and held for days without access to lawyers.

When the Supreme Court allowed immigration agents to consider race during sweeps, Justice Brett Kavanaugh said that citizens shouldn’t worry because if they’re detained, agents will “promptly let the individual go.”

For these Americans, that wasn’t true.

The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And…

Zohran Mamdani campaigned a lot and appears not to hate the voters whose support he's seeking. Here's what other Democrats can learn from his unorthodox strategy.

Suddenly when puberty blockers are given to cis kids, the Daily Mail (the same newspaper which backed Hitler btw) finally admits that "their effects are not permanent, and once a child lets their blocking treatment lapse, puberty will just continue as normal."

Which is true for trans kids too.
Because it’s cis kids.
The NHS will quite casually give cis kids whatever treatment they need, even PBs👇
No trials. No concerns about side effects. No moral panic.

Look folks gen AI videos are out in the wild so if you weren't already being careful about sharing rage bait videos then now is a great time to start

If you can't trace a video back to a trusted source then I recommend leaving it where it is, like a slice of bologna you found on the street

I haven’t gotten my 2026 ACA plan yet because I’m afraid to look at how much it will cost. I’ve been paying $545 a month this year and that’s already hardly sustainable…

So yeah, please subscribe to The Flytrap. And maybe The Bugbear Dispatch too?

This is why I share my "napkin math" crunching the numbers on the the top comics charts creative teams because this kind of "complacency and built-in prejudice" is there, too:
Eight years after #MeToo, Hollywood’s progress for women behind the camera has flatlined. Only three studio films this year were directed by women: the lowest in nearly a decade. Richard Rushfield crunches the numbers and calls it what it is: a crisis

Democratic state attorneys general or governors from 25 states, as well as the District of Columbia, challenged the plan to pause the program.

The administration said it wasn’t allowed to use a contingency fund with about $5 billion in it for the program.

The USDA sent an email to grocery stores telling them they are prohibited from offering special discounts to customers affected by the SNAP funding lapse.
I'm aware of at least 2 stores that had offered struggling customers a discount, then withdrew it after receiving this email

Again, this precise use case is why these systems exist-to proliferate people’s racist (transphobic, misogynistic…) imaginary at scale. This should not be seen as a “misuse” but rather the product being used exactly as intended.

my favorite Pope Francis mode was “I’m saying a thing that SOUNDS like a general statement but is in fact a really nasty subtweet of one very specific guy”

I think Leo from Chicago might be even better at it

please bear in mind he declined to get dragged deep into the Charlie Kirk funeral theater
why would he come for online trads like this

I grew up on food stamps--not SNAP, physical paper stamps that came in a little book that Mom kept in her purse.
