the worst one was delivering newspapers because it was awful and underpaid, but I think I did it for three or four nights, and I believe I only worked one, MAYBE two shifts at the predatory photo studio (it was in walmart but like they rented the space).

If Musk's millions cannot improve the lot of Ken "Trans Witchfinder General" Paxton by flooding the commercial airwaves of every bush league football game with transphobia, that should say something about how even the most embattled Dem should approach the topic.

Matthew Shepard died on October 12th in 1998, 28 years ago. His ashes were interred at Washington National Cathedral 20 years later, in 2018, because before Episcopal Bishop Gene Robinson offered the Cathedral's crypt, his family had no place for him that would be safe from desecration.

One of the most tedious thing about the "anti-woke" comedy bros like Shane Gillis is that they've successfully found a way to spin their boring, out-of-date, "heard it a thousand times before on a Reddit thread" jokes as radical because anyone who calls it out as crap must be over-sensitive. Yawn.

Someone once replied to me saying this with some version of "so maybe I don't want it to get muted, this way you'll see it" and that was one of the most revealing comments I've ever gotten.

Also mutes take alt text into account. If you mute a word and it shows up in alt text, you won't see that post. I deeply appreciate people who use alt text!

Announcing "our product attracts the kind of people who want to verbally abuse something that can't fight back on a level we've had to address structurally" feels like a little bit of a self-own, tbh, but thankfully I'm not in charge of their marketing.

And the video usually shows the opposite: that the agents rammed into the victim. But there are no consequences for the lies. So there’s no reason to stop telling them.

While Millennials and Gen Z blame each other for ruining society, the same monsters that have been ruining society since before we were all born are laughing their asses off. Generational divides are made up, and that’s fine until they’re weaponized to keep us fighting over complete bullshit.

CSP being pressed to take even just /kissing/ off their asset store and FA being told that plus sized characters are considered adult should be a giant waving red flag to folks. Sex workers have /always/ been right to say these policies never stop with 1 type of content. They always wanna ban more.

I've said it before, I've said it again: Bluesky has a disproportionate and extremely loud percentage of users who think it's morally righteous to abuse people as long as it's for a good enough cause, and an even larger percentage of users who specialize in justifying why causes are good.

For those in England & Wales who don’t get them on the NHS: private flu & covid jabs are available from today. I’ve just had both at my local pharmacy. £115 for the pair. Yes, that’s expensive, but if you’re a freelancer & don’t get sick pay it’s probably a lot cheaper than taking time off.

In the aftermath of the Rust shooting, Alec Baldwin starred in a trashy reality series and a serious documentary, both intended to reveal the "real" Bladwin. They're very odd viewing experiences. I wrote about them for @avclub.com. www.avclub.com/the-trial-of...
avclub.com
Trashy TV and a serious documentary struggle to make entertainment out of Alec Baldwin's Rust trauma
Despite their formal differences, doc The Trial Of Alec Baldwin and reality show The Baldwins have the same arrogant aim.

Omigod, this is the most heartwarming story possible! Backpack (bear 89) is the son of the 2019 winner of Fat Bear Week, Holly (bear 435). In 2007, he injured his foot & a practice of riding on momma's Holly's back had a new meaning: he was mobility-restricted while it healed. So Holly moved him.
From DISCVR blog's Facebook page, a momma bear & a yearling cub on her back in the shallow water.  I think the background has been swapped out, and I can't rule out some AI use there?  God, Facebook has become the social media for AI slop : (

The title of the article, which I link below, is "How Bear 89 earned the name Backpack"

Taking a beat to appreciate Fat Bear Week. Likely the all-time most successful government social media campaign by every metric. NASA has to send people to space to get the same amount of attention. Remarkable work from NPS every year to coordinate the public observation of fat bears.
