Misogyny is the force that unites so many across time, space, class, you name it.
The hive mind of the misogynist has the least barrier to entry. It welcomes all for the low price of their dignity and self esteem.

Just read “Capitalists Must Starve” by Park Seolyeon & @antonhur.com The title & blurb led me to expect a book about a factory strike... It is an absorbing portrait of Juryong’s whole life - its hardships, how she was treated as a woman, her resilience, determination & passion. A fascinating read!

new canned this week, loved this conversation about how looking for a job is like dating (in all the bad ways), how some of us try to turn bad experiences into good material (i feel called out), and so much more about work and identity. hit play, share with your pals, send me your fired friends.

So Darren Bailey and his wife sexually abused, groomed, and falsely imprisoned a minor. News of this was leaked in a document over the weekend. Despite none of the accused denying the allegations, the Illinois media refuses to cover. Do better. Here is the ink.

In a first, renewables generate more power than coal globally
In a first, renewables generate more power than coal globally
Solar and wind power aren’t just keeping up with global electricity demand anymore – they’re pulling ahead. According to a new analysis from energy think tank Ember, solar and wind combined outpaced global electricity demand growth in the first half of 2025. That shift led to a drop in both coal and gas generation compared to the same period last year. For the first time ever, renewables generated more power than coal globally.

Retroactive abortion could be the strongest tool we have in fighting institutional violence, like ICE.
Until then, please encourage more people to think ahead about who they’re putting out into the world.

Hi @developers.google.com could someone please remove the extraordinarily annoying pop-up that asks whether I want to “stay in browser” or “use the app” almost every time I open my mobile browser to do a search? How many times do I have to answer this question? It’s extremely disruptive.

Many Steam reviews articulate these criticisms far better, with all the little reply guys telling folks (paraphrasing) “stop being a pussy”.
I wonder if that’s Team Cherry’s intended audience? Even deposit reviews beg the questions.
