Hi Sally. When Weiss published a supposed expose on the death of George Floyd, a veteran criminal justice reporter showed in deep detail that the piece was not just wrong but filled with falsehoods and misrepresentations. Weiss did not retract the piece. What do you think of that?

This is really smart. Amazed at the hysteria over the ascendance of a woman entrepreneur who clearly knows how to cover and sell news and who's not afraid to take on a mob. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

About a week ago, the New York Times’ “The Daily” podcast portrayed Russell Vought as a devout Christian, a true “small government” conservative who loves the free market, and a man with a great work ethic. A remarkable combination of credulousness and deliberate whitewashing.

Deeply disappointed in how cowardly the writing of Vigilante became this season.

Vigilante in S1 is a literal psychopath who just happens to love his friend.

Now Vigilante is ‘manic pixie Punisher’.

I think I’m back to hating on DC because of the over the top deranged praise the Peacemaker finale is getting.

5 main characters in the show: if they weren’t men would be getting SHIT ON BY EVERY FAN BOY. Like exact same dialogue, as good or better acting: would be calls to have them lit on fire.

Enshitification! Huge financial incentive for Google to give you less accurate answers, which keeps you searching longer and therefore it can sell you more ads and collect more data. Corey Doctorow did a great explainer in this CBC podcast series: www.cbc.ca/listen/cbc-p...

Host Cory Doctorow coined the word "enshittification" to describe the state of the modern internet: a broken down, decaying place, once full of promise, now overrun with intrusive ads, hateful trolls,...

No real emotions about any of the characters in the Peacemaker show—DC is still slathered with the rancid stink of the DCEU in my mind—except for this:

If Vigilante was not a cis het white man you would not be able to hear over the screaming about how ‘unrealistic’ and ‘stupid’ the character is.

This is Twilight Sparkle. She was born with a bump on her head made of soft tissue instead of bone. It's led to a buildup of fluid in her brain and seizures. While there's no cure, it can be managed with lifelong medication and bloodwork. You can help her below ❤️‍🩹

Ah, yes. Exactly the voices comic books have been missing. (Sarcasm)

Can’t believe I have to say this, but in Minnesota you will continue to have the freedom to get your COVID and flu shots.

The theme of the 28 (measure of time) zombie movies are ‘People are FUCKING STUPID, right? Right?’

This is nothing new. One of the main grifters during Gamergate was an author who rose to infamy for making her entire cause about saying boys were being feminized by removing bullying from schools.

NYT: A Campaign to 'Bring Back Bullying'

On social media, some are arguing that bullying deserves a second look. Trolling or not, the push seems to reflect a general turn away from sensitivity.

Today in: ‘oh, come on’ I had to call 911 because a very elderly lady from upstairs knocked on my door at 1AM saying there was someone in her apartment trying to kill her.

All well. Except RIP my sleep.

Trump’s order to deploy Texas National Guard troops to Chicago is illegal, immoral, and must be stopped by the courts. ICE is already wreaking havoc in our communities. Let’s call this what it is: an invasion by out-of-state troops coming here only with the purpose of tormenting Chicagoans.

Right this second I'm mostly okay, but I'm thinking ahead to the end of the month, and I haven't had quite as much work come in as I'd like to be sure I'll make rent at that time. Contact me if you'd like some closed captions made for your videos, or you can still buy my stickers!
