It rocks to tell people their shit rocks. Every single person who has ever been nice about my work has been appreciated for doing so. I take time to say I love stuff and it’s always the right time to remind somebody you value their work! You don’t need to get into detail either. Just say it rocks
I’ve sometimes fallen into the trap of thinking that complementing a creative person for their work is less sophisticated or desired than discussion or debate about it but very often the best thing you can say to them is hell yeah and that doesn’t make you dumb it just makes you nice

Heya! If you know me, or read my posts, you know that I'm trying to recover from the most emotionally+mentally ill year of my life. But you might not know that tomorrow is my birthday! If you (or a family member with liberal guilt) would like to help a disabled trans gal, my venmo is in my profile.

💯 This pattern is pervasive. Even among workers with privilege to speak up, managers disregard internal objection. Tenured faculty can write critical papers and object via shared governance, but students and parents complaining to administrators about slop education carries more weight. Solidarity ✊️
Here's the good news: though the workers 'making' these AI locs can't do much to stop them, WE, THE CONSUMERS, CAN.
Email them. Cancel your subscription. Call them and complain.
Be a Karen. Tell them they have lost your dollar.
Workers secretly want this. They want consumers to riot.

A *huge* vaccine victory. I've been writing on this for years; Australia has seen remarkable progress in cervical cancer prevention with the HPV vaccine. I love seeing science triumph like this.
Australia recorded ZERO cases of cervical cancer in women under 25 for the first time since they started tracking the cancer in the 80s.
This is the power of vaccines.
The HPV vaccine is extremely effective at preventing cancer.
Viruses can be oncogenic. Get your vaccines and protect yourself!

newsGP - Australia set for world-first cervical cancer elimination
Vaccination programs have played a key role, and GPs remain ‘instrumental’ in boosting screening rates to reach the 2035 target.

Beatbreak had a good set-up for Gekkomon's digivolution with the Pandamon stuff but didn't take it
However I do wonder if they're foreshadowing a possible fusion mechanic as a mid-season change-up

Remember: they used thousands of academic books too! If you’re a scholar, check for your books too. This isn’t just novelists and pop writers, it’s academic books too!
AI advocates have warned that if every author in the class action filed a claim, it would "financially ruin" the entire industry.
Authors celebrate “historic” settlement coming soon in Anthropic class action
Advocates fear such settlements will “financially ruin” the AI industry.

why are people so concerned with pointless stuff like whether the zelda movie will be "good" or "bad" or when you could simply be getting excited to see what new zealand actors from power rangers or xena warrior princess you might see as hyrule castle handmaiden #4 or whatever.

Every single person in Little Village fighting ICE/BP this week, each one of those people had more courage than the entire party leadership put together. Every single person in the street resisting in LA, Portland, Chicago, they're ALL showing more backbone than useless top tiers of Dem apparatus
I keep seeing regular Americans taking more risks every day to fight tyranny, want, and cynicism than I see from the opposition party, and I imagine many of those regular Americans are asking themselves what the value proposition of such an opposition party is, really
