If you are a manager do not send this shit to your employees. I have had to explain jokes in federal court and almost no jokes are funny in federal court, it turns out

I mean, they're idealized enough to not instantly run a foul of automated content filters, but a shower of cartoon blood or the scream of an animal being mutilated still get the point across. I hope the advertising team shits themselves to death, soon & within our days.

I've started to see ads in my social media feeds for Palmon: Survival, a boilerplate farming sim with some stolen Pokemon and Palworld assets slapped on top, and... well... I have never seen an ad campaign so dependent on graphic cartoon depictions of vivisection. Not even from animal rights nuts.

I can't speak for anyone else, but "settler violence" sounds like very specific crimes and misdeeds, while "the Occupation" has in my experience often meant "the State of Israel", or sometimes "Jews living in the Levant".

space for Protocols memes to take hold. Y'know, "AI would've been good if not for the influence of the perfidious Zionist [sic]", that sort of thing.

This is a really interesting story from my perspective, and worrying, if its implications for influencing LLM training data are accurate. But there's something a little off about the phrasing of the descriptions of Parscale's websites, and it puts my hackles up. This is going to turn into another

This is an emergency now. So here’s the deal. Anyone who donates at least $25 gets a free profile pic art commission from me. I will draw as many as I have to to make sure my friend stays housed.

Today we would like to recognize Ken Sample aka Ken Cougar. A Black man who is credited with creating and coining the term "Fursona". While drawing one of his "Exotics" Ken drew a Cougar character that looked strikingly like himself. Attendees of this conference also wanted their own characters!

Seems just a little weird to bring up AIPAC here, particularly as Lazear hasn't, to my knowledge, made much commentary on whether AIPAC's spending wrt various campaigns is legal or not, shady or not. I don't have a dog but my guinea pigs are going nuts.

Is there a general Left-branded left position supporting political harm reduction rather then grand gestures like "end US interventionism" or "abolish the US Senate"? This is a genuine question from curiosity, not a gotcha.

But it's an interesting one. Side note: FWIW, for those who need specialty products, including but not limited to foods with kashrut/halal certification, using a discount store is often less viable. I'm certain food drives some demographic housing patterns, as do schools, transit, rec, etc.

shoppers to only how much they can carry, whether they're walking home or walking to a parked bike or motor vehicle. Bringing more people helps, as does making more grocery runs, although this presumes the household has enough spare person-hours in the day or week. I think it's another tradeoff.

That's an interesting thought, although I feel it could also end up penalizing someone trying to feed a larger household. We have a local inexpensive/discounted store that offers carts within the store, but you can't take them out (without lifting them up and over the barriers). That limits

If someone doesn't want to see Will Stancil Takes™ on their feed they can always take the simple expedient of muting/blocking his account, or muting his name. Anyone mad at him for his name on their feed is just tormenting themselves for their own reasons. Shame about the harassment, though.

The extent to which the experience of Covid drove the Very Smart Boys of the American media class bugfuck insane cannot be overstated. Their brains were boiled down to a smooth goo by having to stay at home with families they hate instead of sexually harassing interns at the office all day.

It's not something to comment on vocally, but it reflects the financial well-being of the median household in this area (Baltimore City and immediate surroundings) being... less than wonderful.

In Maryland it's a bright yellow and orange card with bright red lettering across the top, a red stripe across the middle, and more red lettering at the bottom. Maybe nobody pays attention to how you pay for groceries, idk, but I always felt exposed using it, and I see other people using it.

I don't think this is like student loan forgiveness with the same "What if people who can afford to pay get their loans forgiven?" kind of complaint. College education is not something that can get cleared off shelves faster than it can be stocked. True, seats are limited, but not to the same extent

Please note also that the SNAP card, in at least some jurisdictions, is visually very distinctive, because we can't let people just have a food subsidy card without shaming them a little bit. We persist in seeing financial straits as a moral failing and it's frankly a sin.
