he also said that 80% of antifa's members are landlords and if you lower the cost of housing, you basically starve the network of its financing

a friend of mine in antifa told me that antifa's headquarters is SHEIN and if the company fell the whole network would fall

Took a break from the Supreme Court's ongoing horrorshow to focus on what really matters: how funny it is for a federal judge to decide, as a matter of law, that Drake lost the Kendrick Lamar beef

Federal Judge Declares Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” Too Awesome to Be Defamatory

Apparently, Drake decided that losing in the court of public opinion was not humiliating enough.

And if there's a film with that name, and you are super pedantic, you'll be distracted through half the damn thing wondering whether it's about a PRIMM-er or a PRY-mer because you don't want to say it wrong when you tell your friends about the wild-ass movie you just watched

Merriam-Webster @merriam-webster.com · 2d

Here’s a primer on ‘primer.’

It’s pronounced ‘PRIMM-er’ if you mean “a small book” or “a short informative piece of writing.”

It’s pronounced ‘PRY-mer’ if you mean “an initial coat of paint.”

It really can't be said enough: the goal of the "anti-woke" movement was always to destroy social norms against bigotry. And it worked. And there's a whole lot of purportedly "left" thinkers & commentators who helped it -- indeed, it couldn't have been done without them.

They should feel bad.

ME: Now Mom, just remember, there's a lot of disinformation and AI in your social feed and your friends' Facebook.
MOM: I know! My friend sent me this crazy post where someone used AI to make an image of a giant frog fighting Army troops!
ME: ... okay, no, that one's ... goddamit, Portland.

California has now banned algorithmic price fixing.

The state has outlawed the practice of landlords colluding to raise prices using rental software and AI.

This is a huge victory for renters in the biggest state in the country.

GUYS

Some of you may have heard me tell the story about how my ancestors were pirates. (It is true. I come from a proud legacy of shenanigans.) But like, it was just something I had heard! It was a story.

GUYS GUYS GUYS I found a webpage about them!!!

Good question! It depends on a lot of factors — where are you, what experience do you have, and what sort of vehicle do you have? I'm not from Colorado, so I don't have a lot of expertise in trails in the Colorado area (I know Black Bear by reputation!), but I can recommend California and Arizona!

"Transparency and faith in the rule of law" are at issue here, Ellis says, noting that having her name on opinions keeps her "from going off the rails, because I have to do it publicly. Here, I think it is important that these officers and agents, at some point along the way, could be identified."

It's open enrollment time so here's a convenient peg to hang a little tutorial about how to choose your health insurance.

Most of the advice you get is bad. Most of your instincts are bad. I however used to work for a health insurance company and I do arithmetic for a living so I can help.

Bionic Woman @batmansrobyn.bsky.social · Oct 28

Personally I think it's great that my company's HR sends out an official looking tool where they even ask you to pre-populate your healthcare providers and instead of being the actual insurance enrollment process it's just some bullshit checklist to try and convince me I actually don't want a PPO

Heh, I totally thought of you as I was writing that thread. I knew you'd relate.

And that photo sounds terrifying. Colorado is really just like...this entire state full of the greatest trails in the world that incidentally will also try to murder you.

I love when you post stuff like this, and give us some insight into details on how weather events move and cause unexpected impacts. This isn't my area of expertise, but I always learn a little, and I really appreciate that.
