In 2012, a fire that was ruled arson devastated the Hotel Do De in Bellefonte, PA. The resulting damage also led to the destruction of the adjoining Garman Opera House, a beloved community theater. Both were deemed irreparable and demolished in 2014. More at www.abandonedamerica.us/garman-theater

Yes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.

Every AI generated event poster is incredibly ugly, but I do think it's interesting that that LLMs have essentially created a house style for flyers, especially one so maximalist and ugly and in contravention of of all convention and best practices established in graphic design over centuries.

Well, that’s a bummer. I’m out like $180 unless I spend (at least) $90 more on a refurbished iPod that died like 2 weeks after the warranty ran out. Part of me wants to just have my iPod working but part of me is thinking “don’t throw good money after bad.”

i worry that men think being A Good Guy is dramatically and heroically intervening on behalf of an endangered woman and then being publicly rewarded on a grand scale when actually being A Good Guy is just usually saying, “hey man that’s not funny” or “wow that’s fucked up” and there is no reward

Fuck. The refurbished iPod I bought from Retrospekt died barely one month past the 90-day warranty and they want $90 to fix it - estimated, if it costs more (!) they will invoice me for it (!!). And the repair doesn’t reset the warranty. So now I have 2 dead, green iPod nanos. 🫤
