sorry to ask during the holidays but i don't have other options available to me right now. At this rate, I'd end up homeless before a job even attempts to reach out to me again 😓

There are many material reasons why Netflix owning WB/HBO sucks but the pettiest one I have is they suck at distributing their own work or building up any enthusiasm. They have failed their way to the top with a strategy that doesn’t benefit the work.

An internal list of military targets? Naming everyone on board, fulfilling wartime rules of engagement, ready in time for a covert boat trip, but requiring 40 minutes to justify a second strike?

EXCLUSIVE: Pete Hegseth ordered the U.S. military on Sept. 2 to kill all 11 people on a suspected drug-smuggling boat because they were on an internal list of military targets, the commander overseeing the operation told lawmakers, according to multiple sources.
Admiral told lawmakers everyone on alleged drug boat was on a list of military targets
Adm. Frank Bradley said U.S. intelligence had identified the 11 people on the boat and determined the military was authorized to kill them as part of Trump’s campaign against alleged drug-smuggling vessels.

On January 1, Illinois begins to regulate employer use of AI, making it a civil rights violation to use AI tools that result in discrimination based on protected characteristics in hiring, promotion, discipline, termination, or other employment terms and requiring notice of AI use. #AIBillofRights
Illinois becomes one of the few states to regulate employer use of AI. House Bill 3773 amends the Illinois Human Rights Act to make it a civil rights violation for employers to use AI tools that result in discrimination based on race, gender, age, or disability.

I think there's nothing wrong with watching movies at home or on a laptop or phone or plane but it IS a markedly different experience than watching it in theaters in the format and environment it was designed for and the fact that executives continue to say they're the same is the real problem

Anyone who says “be normal” betrays that they have an implicit value system of who is considered normal and who is not, and when you have that, you will always value some people and traits over another. They will always replicate hierarchies of power in the long run.
California Governor Gavin Newsom said on Thursday that the Democratic Party needed to be “more culturally normal” and “less judgmental.”

It's an actual game plan on the right. They use it for book bans as well. They start with something easy: no porn in libraries. That hooks in the low information folks. Then you slowly broaden the scope until you're yanking any YA that violates Christian nationalism.
one of many parallels between anti-vaxxers & those who oppose gender-affirming care: they start by pretending they have a very specific concern (MMR vaccine, puberty blockers, etc), but once given any sway or say on the matter, they quickly strive to eliminate all of it

The moment you understand that gender segregation largely exists in sports to protect the egos of fragile men from the indignity of losing to a woman or to allow women to compete without enduring unwelcoming "No Girls Allowed" spaces in sport then the lie behind "protecting women" becomes apparent.

The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

It's not just that transphobia reduces someone's brain and perception of the world to a viscous slurry, it's that it also generates an entirely hallucinated new reality they slip more into with every breath. A staggeringly severe degenerative brain condition.
Neither did trampling all over the hard-fought and well-established rights of other disadvantaged groups.
Demands advanced by some in the trans rights movement, eg Stonewall again, directly compromised the rights of women and LGB people.
