What's funny about this (darkly funny, fuck that Nazi bitch JK Rowling and any other terf who slithers by) is that I haven't seen a single ad anywhere on Nick, Nick Jr., etc (Paramount properties), which my family watches all the time... they're really pinning their hopes on nostalgic adults huh?

Pretty proud of this one! I completely redid my production workflow, trying to cut as much of Riverside's AI tools as possible and just using raw footage in Premiere, and I'm pretty happy with the result. Show looks better, and, in the long run, should be quicker to produce. Please check it out!

OMG I know that kind of customer and anybody who has worked retail knows them too. Too many people get abused at work, then go out and take it out on someone else's employees. Don't punch down. Grow up, unionize, and demand that people treat *you* better in your workplace. Bullies suck.

"My family had three plots of land planted with olive trees. Two of them are now under Israeli control and have been bulldozed, so we can no longer reach them. We can still access the third, but it no longer looks like the place where we used to spend our autumns."

Like, the horror stories re assisted suicide in Switzerland is people from other countries learning their loved ones died after assisted suicide. Which is bad. But hear so many more stories of assisted suicide being raised by doctors in Canada (which it shouldn't be).

I think it says something that you don't hear as many horror stories of Swiss people pursuing assisted suicide as you do in Canada, as people's needs seem to be better met in Switzerland (not that it's perfect!!!!).

Around eight percent of all deaths in Québec specifically are assisted suicide. You just need a disability to qualify. I couldn't finish my undergrad at McGill because the wait time to get into a specialist was so bad that I came back to America. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

However, you can still qualify if you're struggling with an undiagnosed chronic pain condition and haven't even seen a specialist yet to get a diagnosis and treatment. This move is good, but MAID in Canada is dangerously expansive. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Question for any authors who have had recent contract dealings w/ Must Read Magazines & ASIMOV’S. Have they asked you to surrender copyright of your stories to them? They want me to create new cover art & they want to own copyright of the art. Seems like a pretty outrageous rights grab.

I should note that even though the Nordstrom Rack moved, there main Nordstrom building is right down the street and there are other Rack locations in Portland. It's not the end of the world if a company closes one of it's two storefronts within a few blocks of each other.

The building she used to show the businesses have left Portland is the downtown Nordstrom Rack that closed in January 2026. Just down the street is the new Nike flagship store that opened in November 2025. Some business move out, some move in.
