Anyway, I literally am short rent, due in six days, because the anime workflow I once had in spades has run dry thanks to nonsense like this.
If you're a content creator who could use captions for a video, please consider commissioning me. 113 minutes of video by next Thursday could make it happen.

There has literally never been a universal basic income trial program that didn't deliver real and measurable results above and beyond any other form of social welfare, and every time another concludes with the same findings the powers that be go "interesting! Anyway," and pretend it wouldn't work.

I think about the disappearance of Latin from standard education a lot because I think we may be in the midst of losing more essential forms of knowledge without grasping what we’re losing

The natural default state for food, beverages, and medicine is ubiquitous adulteration of, and frequent danger from, any product anyone can buy. It took centuries of activism, science, and sprawling legal and legislative battles to get to this place where most products are what they say on the label

“Another problem is that there’s no such thing as a surprise kitchen inspection at a prison.”
Every part of this is horrendous, but the part that touches subjects I’ve written about is food fraud. Through history, the incentive is always to adulterate food if customers can’t tell (or can’t opt out)

It’s not just that prison meals are bland and unappetizing — though they often are.
In lawsuits and news reports, kitchen workers at prisons in Arizona, Oregon, and elsewhere reported seeing boxes of food that were served to prisoners marked: “not for human consumption.”

Prison Food Is a Growing Billion-Dollar Industry. Many Meals Are Inedible.
As private food providers' contracts grow, the meager and moldy portions behind bars have forced some people to eat toothpaste and toilet paper.

What is the best compliment you ever received? Putting aside whether or not you believed it.

Saw someone discussing how modern films don’t have interesting lighting and put it down to factory conditions in production.
And of course my head popped up because the lighting in American films definitely got less interesting during the shift to the studio system in the 1920s.

They're challenging Schumer & Gillibrand's leadership, arguing the party is using an old, corporate-friendly playbook insufficient to take on Trump or win elections.

And that’s the problem. A ”Yes Man” of any species or technology is going to exacerbate what is already causing the person to seek guidance because it won’t suggest alternatives. A human oracle would see that. The software can’t, because it does not have discernment or judgement.

When I say that locking mothers in the suburbs with small children breaks them? This is what I mean.
It’s why we need universal daycare, paid parental leave for a full year, with gradual return to work schedules.
Babies do best in groups of peers (siblings are not peers). And adults NEED peers!
