getting really fucking sick of ppl telling alyssa to ignore these posts, which regularly escalate into violent threats regardless of what she does
Incredibly weird behavior from a man who has previously sexually harassed me. AI makes it even easier to spread low-effort misogyny, so I'm not surprised the online right is using it so much that it's melting their brains.
Exhausting, but expected.

I've been grinding and working my ass off for months, ignoring these weird, obsessive, unwell men, and they STILL continuously center me in their content.
"Not feeding the trolls" doesn't do anything. What will stop them is making rage bait and harassment campaigns no longer financially viable.

Bari Weiss, I believe this is your moment.
Is it a threat to free speech when the President of the United States threatens to yank the broadcast license of a channel whose reporters are asking him challenging questions?
I ask because I feel like there used to be tons of pundits worried about free speech. Where'd they go?

Trump in response to an Epstein question: "ABC, your company, your crappy company is one of the perpetrators. I think the license should be taken away from ABC because your news is so fake and so wrong. And we have a great commissioner, a chairman, who should take a look at that."

my insurance premium will go from $340/month to $1208/month. HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA kill me
KEEP SHARING YOUR STORIES about increased ACA premiums due to the disappearance of subsidies. The stories clearly are having an impact, they help people feel less helpless, and they create solidarity that leads to action.
Mine went from $395→ $821. What happened for you?

Weird how our AI-boosting government is killing the IRS's free tax filing tool, only for the company who spent $3,720,000 on lobbying last year to sign a big AI integration deal for their tax software. Probably a coincidence.
TurboTax is about to be integrated into ChatGPT, where customers will be guided through tasks tied to their tax filings or financial profile by the AI chatbot.
TurboTax owner Intuit is also paying OpenAI more than $100 million a year to power AI agents.

Absolutely cannot wait to bust down the doors for a drink made by a company whose unionized workers are on strike in a store that doesn’t want to hire minorities anymore.
Beginning Monday, a Frozen Peppermint Hot Chocolate drink will be available exclusively at Starbucks cafés inside Target stores.
The chains are hoping the drink can drum up excitement from customers this holiday season.
