In Morrow County, healthy adults were coming down with unexplained medical conditions, including diseases that usually afflicted the elderly.

In a survey of 30 homes, at least 25 miscarriages and a half dozen people living with one kidney were reported.

We have gotten so used to Great Replacement becoming normalized that most people hardly noticed that a racist, antisemitic, xenophobic conspiracy theory popularized by mass shooters and 4chan trolls is now government policy.
The U.S. State Department is repeating a white nationalist conspiracy theory.

On Friday, it claimed that “mass migration poses an existential threat to Western civilization.”

That line comes straight from the Great Replacement myth: the lie that immigration is a plot to erase white populations.

One of my favorite things is getting to tell friends who are new to NYC that the subway "stand clear of the closing doors please" voice is a trans woman named Bernie Wagenblast and she's amazing.

I will admit to many frailties and flaws. I am far from perfect and have made plenty of mistakes and there are plenty of things I am bad at.

You could not pay me enough to declare that I am incapable of composing my own insults.

Google at its peak was basically the best information retrieval system in human history and they and every competitor decided going from there to “you didn’t want answers you wanted half-assed auto-complete 80%-wrong hallucinations” in a few years was the right idea

If Rey had just listened to Ben, he wouldn’t have to do this.

Ben makes an AI chatbot version of Rey. Real Rey finds out.

aerons are one million percent worth having, it's an incredible chair and your back will thank you

also you should never pay retail or close to it (unless your work is buying it for you), there are always a million used ones floating around because of office churn
it's some kind of journalistic malpractice to tell people an areon going for 30% off of $1600 is a meaningful "discount". you're supposed to get one from a shady facebook marketplace guy for $150 at most

You know what’s ripe for a comeback is the Wolves of Willoughby Chase series by Joan Aiken. Smart & non-condescending YA, fantastical without being fantasy, dark and Dickensian as hell, extremely lefty and anticapitalist, a full dozen sequels, amazing Edward Gorey covers.

Jerking her around by her bare shoulders, hands almost too firm, he frowns at the sight of her.

“Hideous.”

Rey rolls her eyes but yet stands still—she’s used to this by now. L’Enfant Terrible of Haut Couture Ben Solo may be a genius; he’s also an ass.

“Strip her.”

And so they begin again.
