it is 'funny' that the question of 'why does everybody feel different about the economy than the way these graphs should indicate' never seems to account for 'a pandemic exposing thousands of people to our ramshackle and hyper expensive healthcare system AND killing many partners, roommates, etc'

I wish there was a recommendation service where I could plug in music by non-Black creators and it tells me which Black music they've taken inspiration from and where to find similar Black artists

The Block The Bombs Act, which would legally suspend a large portion of American offensive military assistance to Israel, now has 60 cosponsors in the House of Representatives.

It is also endorsed by the Congressional Progressive Caucus, the first ever Israel-Palestine related bill to acquire it.

Anyway back in high school I was in a magnet program that used to admit 50% boys and 50% girls.

Right before my year, parents of boys complained and demanded strict merit-based admission.

My year was like 80% girls so shoutout to the boymoms for making sure their sons didn't steal my slot.

4,000 words on the stage I haven't been able to stop playing for the last six years. Early dev screenshots, talk of tech challenges, five demo tracks embedded so you can hear the song's evolution. All the good stuff.

I'm sorry this shit is so funny
Breaking News: Workers began adding President Trump’s name to the Kennedy Center, despite no action by Congress to legally rename it. This sparked outrage among the Kennedy family, since it was built to be a living memorial to the 35th president.

America is in the mid-summer of its discontent. Smack dab in the middle of it. Plenty of discontent to go before it’s even jacket season, to be honest.

So like... they're going to remove people doing something they love, and replace them with people doing something boring for no reason, and they think they're gonna pay LESS?

One of the things that gets me about this whole "replace people in publishing with AI" thing is that people in publishing (translators / editors / copy editors / authors / etc) are among the worst fucking paid people out there.

Techbros seem to love Tolkien, so here's an analogy to help you understand what genAI is.

GenAI is The One Ring. You think your use is justified, b/c you don't have evil in your heart.

But it came from evil, it is intended for evil purpose, & anything you do with it will be twisted to that end.

Spanish is effectively the second language of the United States and has been since whatever point in the 19th C. when the number of Spanish speakers we'd annexed surpassed the number of French speakers we'd annexed. About 1 in 5 can speak it and a large chunk more have some rudimentary familiarity.
Cannot believe this version of the Republican Party won a record number of Latino/Hispanic voters, this country is so cooked lol

speaking from personal experience the reason the PRC is Like That is for very simplistic reasons the generation that knew true horror is one generation after the one in the USA and happen to be the ones running the show right now. they’ve got their heads on straight still
In a loose folksy way I’ve started to believe that shit falls apart approximately every 80 years because the generation that knew True Horror dies off and the young folks left don’t comprehend the stakes.
I blame the passing of the WW2 generation. Some people didn't have a grandparent who would kick their ass for talking up Nazis and it shows.
