Okay maybe this is too hot a take for 5:30pm on a Saturday but I think meme accounts that don’t give any attribution paved the way for people to accept AI words and imagery because it separated culture and entertainment from the idea that someone had to have those thoughts and compose them.

The disparity btwn what’s actually happening in Los Angeles and the way it’s being mischaracterized is one of the biggest stress tests of modern media in recent memory. Botted socials, AI, old clips, declining literacy—it’s like seeing a broken emergency response system hit by a storm.

At no point in this entire article of 16 paragraphs does ABC mention that another cop killed this cop by shooting her in the back. Nor does it mention the name of the cop who killed this cop. Nor does it mention that the civilians involved never fired at them. ABC might as well be state media.

Happy Pride Month to everyone else who is also chronically ill and high risk and unable to participate in Pride Month festivities because folks won't mask. I see you. Your love is still valid. And to everyone else who can safely attend events this month, please mask up.

We left Twitter behind when Elon pushed bigotry and cultivated an unsafe environment. It is long overdo for the Harry Potter franchise to receive the same treatment. 99% of the time, I support people engaging with what they enjoy. This, however, is one rare instance everyone NEEDS to disengage.

For those of you too young to remember terminally online 2016 discourse or who’ve forgotten: Third Way is a conservative-funded think tank whose sole purpose is to launder right wing ideas into the Democratic Party. Ignoring them isn’t enough, they’re a tumor that should be removed

Was asked my hobbies as work today - I explained my perchance to buy a ticket and hop a flight in the same day. They were flabbergasted - after telling me about their 6 kids and how they have to take Grasslyn, Asslyn, Braselyn, and Masslyn, Rashylynn, and Trashlynn to an event. You made your choice

i keep saying, people cannot seem to wrap their heads around the fact that the reason AAA games are so expensive is because there are thousands of people who spend years working on them! (people are leaping on how "labor" includes middle managers because yeah, these are incredibly huge projects!)

I’ve been working on this story for years and they just tweeted it out (seriously tho this is a good primer on something that pops up a lot in my work: one of the main purposes of consumerism is to cajole people into thinking of their relationship to the economy as a consumer instead of a worker)

I wish journalists would stop framing political news as wins or losses for politicians or political parties. It’s an abrogation of our mission. Why do we keep doing this? Is the spending bill a win or loss for the American people? Who does it help? Who does it hurt? Is it sound policy? Fiscally?

Shoutout to Whitney Plantation, who has always BANNED WEDDINGS at their location and allowed the entire facility and its grounds to be an indoor and outdoor museum. It also houses the genealogical records for over 100,000 enslaved people. You can search for your loved ones in its archives.

This is a very consultant-brain type of thinking bc swing voters aren’t “centrists” by any meaningful sense of the world. Their most salient ideological characteristics are, like, a general disinterest in “the news” and a loose and absolutely incoherent set of political beliefs

this is a video posted by the Toronto police association. if you set aside the fact that this is a march for a cop that crashed his car choking on a hot dog, which is very funny on its own, this is the worst marching discipline I've ever seen in my life. I'm fucking crying
