Accountability is not cancel culture. It’s consequence. If powerful women are stepping down over Epstein ties, then powerful men better be next. No more special rules for the boys club.

if you're an older person who finds words like mogg and maxxing annoying, just starting using them. people over the age of 30 have the superpower to end trends by simply adopting them

the actual Republican parents who support the politicians pushing for this think the effort and money they spent parenting are wasted if their kids turn out different from them.
You eliminate that possibility by eliminating the public existence of other kinds of people.

This might be a hot take, but if parents are so concerned about what their kids see online, then they should actually do some damn parenting themselves instead of campaigning for governments to make things worse for everyone.

Watching everyone get angry at the Olympian who performed with a torn ACL makes sense, objectively. But I feel like I grew up and still constantly do hear stories of pro athletes being praised after performing while horribly injured. I'm not sure why anyone is surprised she'd try.

Like I truly don't know if any of my work would exist in anything like it's present form of I hadn't been a WoW addict for like three years. It taught me how to manage and organize people via the Internet.
Unfortunately Steve Bannon learned a lot from WoW too.

Blizzard's output up until and including World of Warcraft has to be the all-time best run of any gaming company. A string of hits that didn't just make money and establish / change whole genres, they influenced the world- helping to birth e-sports, game streaming and (alas) actual politics

TIL after a whole lifetime of being told about how Europeans first explored Antarctica starting in 1820 that they've found the body of an indigenous Chilean on the continent who died sometime between 1819-1825 and now I need a recount

the burden of proof is on the mother-fucker asserting something.
I understand why people are exhausted by AI hype, and why those of us squarely in the corner of "human dignity uber alles" see AI doomerism as self-serving hype, but I *really* think people on the left broadly need to start thinking seriously about the possibiltiy of the hype being...true.

also IF the AI doomerism was correct and we are in the process of building literal Skynet the ONLY ethical way forward would be to deploy lethal military violence against the AI industry and it's researchers worldwide.
If you aren't suggesting that, you don't believe this is end-the-world serious.

Aided by genAI models like ChatGPT, “writers” hoping to get paid for fake stories have become an even bigger problem for publications big and small. One such writer almost pulled one over on COYOTE — until @soleilho.com, who is a nerd, spotted a key idiosyncrasy.

Platforms limiting or halting withdrawals is reminiscient of the 2022 crypto crash, when falling crypto prices exposed crypto firms that had been engaging in highly risky or sometimes illegal behavior.
