Hope everybody in that audience is glad about how they're helping JK Terfling get more money to hurt trans people with.

I decided that the goal of my lists is to talk about things I think are quality, things that spark joy, things that help, and things people should be aware of. #PopCulture Read more here: https://twp.ai/9PXuJI

The market “fair” rate is - as always - US-centric and in no way acceptable for creators in other countries.

The Bounty Board has also always undervalued creators’ time, energy and worth so this entire dashboard continues to disappoint despite repeated feedback.
Twitch's Sponsorship Dashboard has launched new opportunities for Partners.

Unfortunately, they pay between $0.06 to $0.15 per CCV. (Example image from a 100 CCV streamer below.)

Generally, the market 'fair' rate is $1 - $2 per CCV.

You never know when you'll find beauty. This picture was based on a Rose of Sharon bush near my dog's potty spot. 😂

We're all dunking on the pull quote, as well we should, but do not sleep on how the example he gives amounts to "Why does my child have emotions?"
Jimmy Fallon: "And do you use ChatGPT when raising your baby?"

Sam Altman: "I cannot imagine figuring out how to raise a newborn without ChatGPT."

So yet again they refuse to link a "source" and even after something is proven to be untrue they don't retract or do anything. Can we all just block these chucklefucks already? They cause way more problems than they've ever once reported (and by reported I mean stolen someone else's work).

Heads up that the Google year in search includes Trump propaganda and memorializing Charlie Kirk. So, yanno, saved you a click.

Try to imagine being the government person told that part of your job is to find a portable pull up bar, get it to the airport, set it up so RFK Jr can interact with it without it falling over, take it down when the press leaves, and somehow get it back to whoever you got it from.

If it hasn't been said, I'll say it: No woman of color would ever be defended in this "she's just a smol bean" fashion & many Black, Latina, Asian & Indigenous women have had their lives & careers destroyed for nothing, or for far, far less. Same goes for trans women. These are just fucking facts.
Possibly the only thing more freakish than Nuzzi's prose is the contortions her defenders twist themselves into. "She's not just hot, but she definitely is hot, while also being a vulnerable smol child. Also, criticizing her is sexist."

Surfacing from work-chaos to state that if you have the chance to catch the Phantom tour to do so. It has already departed Minneapolis, but they're already on their way to Chicago.

I've seen a lot of Phantoms in my job. A lot.

Isaiah Bailey is the best I've ever seen. No competition.

I'll say again: we are oddly selective about the government services about which we will say, they operate at a loss.

We say Amtrak and the post office "lose money" but we never say highways, the court system, the Pentagon, etc lose money
The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service
