It’s more than a little fucked up that Star Trek: Lower Decks’ source files will just not exist or be usable by next year because of Adobe’s greed in shutting down Animate.
That’s an insane thing for a company to pull on a product used by many animation companies.

A super important paper, and one that I'm sure was incredibly difficult to publish. An exploration of sexual misconduct in legal academia (and why it's not talked about enough), something I'm sure is also true in other fields as well.

For someone whining so much about about weaponization of the DoJ this is too on the nose.

Even in Elon Musk’s denial of his involvement with Epstein—which directly contradicts the available evidence—the world’s richest man is still claiming he knew all about “pedo island” and didn’t do anything to stop it. Even in their fantasies of innocence they’re still directly enabling child abuse

this phenomenon has been particularly maddening to me
Trump has finally delivered the Jade Helm presidency the far right warned of in 2015: a techno-authoritarian assault on the White House’s enemies. Only now instead of raising an alarm over a hoax, they’re cheering the real thing.

Conservatives once panicked about a supposed federal plot to invade their communities and quash dissent. Now they’re cheering it.

Holy shit. This is HUGE.
Today, I made historic appointments who will lead key agencies and create a city where everyone can thrive.
I appointed Stanley Richards as Commissioner of DOC. Decades after he served time in our city’s jails, Commissioner Richards will now be the first formerly incarcerated person to lead them.

This is exciting but I am begging non-Texans to understand this seat will do literally nothing unless Abbott calls a special session.
He delayed this election a whole year specifically because Texas only does legislative sessions on odd years.
Both candidates are running again in November.
