Why does everyone keep calling it “The Epstein Ballroom?” Please stop repeating “The Epstein Ballroom” because it is not called “The Epstein Ballroom!” Don’t tell the news that it’s called “The Epstein Ballroom” and please don’t repost this!!!!!

That’s the kind of kneejerk dismissive advice that makes me violent. Telling people to just grow their own food is tantamount to telling them to eat cake.
On Threads, the usual suspects are telling ppl about to lose SNAP benefits to just start a garden. As a gardener, I had to laugh. You need at LEAST an acre of land to feed a family of 4. Start-up costs are enormous. But yes, subsistence farming on the balcony of your rental apartment is the answer

Again I dont put much into norms or institutions when issues like poverty exist but a president demolishing much of a publicly owned building in plain sight to build a vanity project funded by bribes during a shutdown as people lose food assistance, troops aren't sure if they'll get paid, etc is bad
The East Wing is totally gone. I can’t believe it

Compared to someone like Gwen, I haven’t spent nearly as much time monitoring Nazis. It’s alarming how quick that shit will poison you and also desensitize you to some really horrible things.

Same goes for monitoring war/genocide footage.
No one should EVER monitor Nazi space without a strong support network that can check them regularly and watch for signs that the propaganda is taking hold, and address that reality promptly.

Without a rock solid accountability network, it is playing with fire.
This is I think also one of the reasons you (you as in a regular person) shouldn't got into nazi places to try and 'debate' them (or worse, to hang out and check the vibe. I know somebody who radicalized a lot after doing that to neo-nazi metal concerts (not the only reason he radicalized)).

Utmärkt analys. Jag kan tillägga att dikotomin ”elevernas mående” vs ”lärarnas mående” som jag sett flimra förbi i denna diskussion är falsk. Lärarnas och elevernas fiende är densamma, politiker som detaljstyr skolan utan att någonsin ordna dess existentiella kris: resursbrist och segregation
Hela dagen har jag haft ont i magen efter att ha läst om Simonas senaste genidrag rörande skolan. Visst; reportern hade vässat språkbruket, men vi vet alla att det här inte är en fråga om paketering. Gottgörande insats eller bestraffning spelar ingen roll, vad det handlar om i grunden är att …

the fact that most democrats refuse to push this point is a complete failure on their part imho. like,

1) this should not happen
2) if this does happen, the courts are supposed to say a word about it
3) then congress is supposed to impeach, and
4) the opposing party should push it if they can't
see the control on pardons is supposed to be "if the president blatantly pardons a criminal ally, he gets impeached"

all of this comes back to the failure of the Republican Party and Congress to have even a modicum of public decency.

“It’s mirror world. It’s mirror world. It’s mirror world”, I mutter to myself as I try not to absolutely lose it over FEMA employees being accused of systematically discriminating against Trump supporters instead of the marginalized groups their programs do systematically discriminate against.

Next year, we'll welcome 125,000 new New Yorkers to our city. But many families don't have what they need to give their babies a healthy start.

Building on @bkbpreynoso.bsky.social's pilot, we'll launch citywide Baby Baskets, providing new parents with essential items and resources.

Were I demonstrating this technology, not sure I'd go with movie that completely depends on having a black guy as a protagonist.
I don’t know if there’s a more perfect illustration of the utter fucking nonsense that creative pollution by AI will produce than this choice to illustrate the power of Paramount’s new “localization” and “customization” technology by face-swapping Brad Pitt into the lead role of GET OUT

The actual Paramount license of Higgsfield AI is indeed showing up mostly in potentially dodgy AI specific pubs and aggregators but the intent to engage in AI-driven “localization at scale” is, sadly, blueprinted in David Ellison’s open letter to Par stakeholders

David and Larry Ellisons’ sloptastic vision for Hollywood is coming into focus:

“Paramount has reportedly signed a $200M+ multiyear deal for Higgsfield AI to use mass-use Popcorn AI model that ingests dailies and script notes, then outputs regional cuts: new leads, alternate jokes, revised endings”

Kommersiella medier vinner inte direkt mitt förtroende genom att legitimera den auktoritära högerns angrepp på public service. Det är som om jag som förläggare skulle gå till attack mot folkbiblioteken.
Så den enda nyhetsrapporteringen som inte kräver en prenumeration ska dra sig tillbaka pga "för mycket text konkurrerar med betaljsajter" Det är ett rätt grovt ingrepp i demokratin när folk inte kan ta del av opartisk journalistik utan att betala, dessutom öppnar det upp för ännu mer slaskmedia.

This is a game that just came out in early access today for a tenner, or if you get it in this bundle, 6.66 with at least one other game, so less than 3.50 for a brand new game.

I do honestly believe a lot of indie devs are devaluing themselves/their games.

I've said before that there's a serious race-to-the-bottom problem in indie games, where they're often deeply discounted or bundled far too quickly, but I've just noticed that this new Fanatical bundle has a game that released today, Painted In Blood, and damn...

Det pågår slaveri på svensk arbetsmarknad, då blir regeringen helt plötsligt totalt ointresserade av "hårdare tag". Hur kan det komma sig tror ni?

Förbjudet – men inte omöjligt att utnyttja arbetskraft i Sverige.

Det går inte att prata om klimatarbete och klimatengagemang längre utan att prata om hur man ska hantera desinformation, fake news och olika former av klimatförnekare. Varje gång jag är ute och föreläser hör jag nya hårresande exempel som folk stöter på och kämpar med i sin arbetsvardag.

personally i think it's understandable for video games to be expensive but if they're expensive they need to be good and the people who make them need to get paid and treated well
