The democracies of the world must treat deranged individuals who live outside the constraints of the law, who are acting like hostile rival political powers, as the threat they are.

One weird trick!!
Tim Melody PrattOne of my writing teachers told me she used to be in a writing group where everyone else was a better writer than she was, and none of them had careers, and she did, because they stopped, and she didn’t. It’s like one of the only parts we can control!
I mean man it is hard to convey how scorned furries were on the early Internet. Bottom rung socially. And yet they kept on yiffing, until at last they will soon be the only representatives of humanity capable of speaking the language of God, while we stare in the window as rain pours over us. Woof.
The most interesting thing about automated theorem provers using machine learning is that whenever I'm trying to read a thread and realize it's gotten way too technical for me, I notice all the avatars are furries.
For any Daniel Abraham fans out there: this is the first near-accurate rendering ever made of the 13 races of his The Dagger and the Coin series—which is, for my money, the best Game of Thrones replacement for anyone waiting in vain for the next ASOIAF book by George R.R. Martin.
the Expanse (not a joke)
RossAre there any films, literally any, that have a positive representation of Lgbtq Christians? Not conversion therapy, not someone walking away from faith (however justified), not a priest who is vowed to celibacy, etc., but an ordinary, functional narrative with a gay or trans Christian
Yes, all of this. Use your library! It's an unmitigated good in the world!
Tom CoxSomeone said to me, "I'm sorry but I got your book from a library." Nobody should ever apologise for that. You read my book! That's brilliant! I grew up hanging out in libraries and the idea of a world without them fills me with dread. Without libraries, authors, like readers, will only suffer.
Looking forward to a more historically accurate portrayal of a sorceress turning a bunch of men into pigs
Off to jail for that grocery store manager/executive. "Enjoy Today 50% off" on one of the most frequently mentioned as a virus transporter product – "Taylor Farms Shredded Lettuce." On a printed sticker means they decided to move product instead of binning it.
jon christianwow at this incredible deal
Will have comments on this later. But worth a read now! (3-5 min read. tl;dr Taylor Farm's lettuce almost certainly went to way more places than just Taco Bell & Sysco, & those retailers need to speak up.)
Deborah BlumThis, from food safety attorney Bill Marler, is so much better than anything I've seen from the FDA.
Everyone in the legacy media knows Trump's history and knows that he will spread dangerous lies on Thursday night. They know that they have a choice about whether to cover the speech. Most importantly, they know the danger and the stakes. newsletters.democracydocket.com/-the-media-h...

Scott HortonIn America today, the wealthiest 1% is now worth more than the entire American middle class. That never happened before.
Honestly still laughing at this. For YEARS people have told me the killer app, no doubt way that OpenAI would fix its business model would be ads, and it turns out it’s not going to make enough money to pay for a single month of inference spend. Great stuff Sammy! Big applause for the big man
Ed Zitron"Emarketer’s data finds that standalone chatbots like ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot app, Google AI Mode, and Amazon Alexa for Shopping (formerly Rufus) in U.S, will generate less than $1 billion in ad revenue this year, and just $5.41 billion by 2030" Lol www.adweek.com/media/openai...
