I take my meds so the unskippable cut scenes you accidentally trigger when talking to me are half as long and ten times as coherent.

Alt: Jake Gyllenhaal in The Day After Tomorrow, which I know is an objectively terrible film, but which I love with all my heart.

This serves as advertisement for Alex Gibney’s documentary, Musk, opening October 9. Pass it on.

The Major Social Media Platforms Are All Rejecting Paid Ads for Alex Gibney’s ‘Musk’ (Exclusive)
YouTube, TikTok and Meta have all turned down the trailer for the Oct. 9 doc, citing “political” content. X won't even take Bleecker Street's calls. The distributor is appealing.

And might i add that we had a word before "influencer." It's "shill." Shorter and more to the point. I'll use it in a sentence: "No one paid attention to the supermodel's opinions on banking because they knew she was a shill."

can we PLEASE bring back the word "poser" and stop using "larp" or "cosplay" - being a "poser" or "faking" being into something is lazy and disingenuous whereas cosplayers and actual larpers are passionate about their hobbies and out a lot of time and effort into them

The post was clearly a joke and your website regularly platforms people, including your own employees, promoting causes such as AI that do irreparable damage to the environment and society. But sure it’s VERY IMPORTANT to defend the memory of one of the most hateful, bigoted humans of the 21st century. I’m glad he’s dead and I hope this email makes someone mad.

I spotted my first acorn on the ground this weekend, and you know what that means: time for me to remind you YOU CAN EAT THEM I drew a 20 page comic about harvesting & processing acorns for food! You can download it for free (or get a print copy for not-free) from my ko-fi: ko-fi.com/s/8d34f77329
A vintage photo of a strongman with a poorly-photoshopped squirrel head, carrying acorns and surrounded by acorns.  Text reads: Acorns will make you strong!!  Read more:

Surprise! Insurance screws over Hades at the last minute AGAIN! Now they need to prep/fundraise for 2 MRIs and not 1 like they thought!! Hopefully things will get sorted with insurance but if it can’t, then helping Hades build up funds would be very kind: ko-fi.com/portaltohades
