Yeah we're extracting energy from Literal Hell. Been a big part of powering our industrial infrastructure lately. ... Oh, no, we're not using the souls or anything, we're just putting a boiler on the portal and hooking it up to a turbine.

"toxic yuri where the toxicity is intrinsically linked to supernatural abilities" just has a really solid vibe, to me

girl with the ability to see the future going on dates like "don't bring up the things that happen in the timeline where you get together with her do NOT that's one of the easiest ways to guarantee it doesn't happen—"

"Refugee crisis" is such a horrendous phrase in how it shifts the issue from "there's a crisis so bad it's making people flee their homes" to "those people are coming here, a place that's got plenty of resources and can easily take in refugees"

Tech people will really sip the generative AI kool-aid and go "what if we added a feature that let you rapidly generate realistic-looking satellite imagery of whatever the hell you wanted, using a tool with a reputation for providing accurate and up-to-date information"

"Boycotts never achieve anything" factoid is actually a statistical error. Boycotts are an enormously successful pressure mechanism for collective action.

Good to see more international articles on this topic

I wonder if the "this condition is actually just made up and the treatment is Harming Your Kids" columnists could ever overplay their hand and pick a target that's so patently ridiculous they lose credibility entirely.

"If you don't like [arbitrary trait that's now been declared Against Women's Beauty Standards] as a guy then you're not straight" no actually I think imposing bizarre and objectifying expectations on women's bodies is part of how heteropatriarchy operates, it's a very straight thing to do

lategame factorio space age with speed and productivity modules: yeah so it's geometrically impossible for you to supply this machine with all the input and output belts it needs to operate at maximum efficiency

"My adult child has no good reason to cut contact with me and I'm entitled to remain in their life forever regardless" is exactly the kind of attitude I expect to hear from someone with the trait combination of [has been cut off by their child] and [writes opinion pieces]
