there’s one true answer but it’s the correct one five minutes after game of thrones - the last true monoculture show - ended, we all collectively agreed not to talk about it again, and house of the dragon/knight of the seven kingdoms haven’t recaptured a fraction of that cultural presence

damnatio memoriae is the right thing to do with trump for many reasons and at the top of the list is the fact that it will make him so, so angry

Trump and his allies have spent most of the past decade doing the administrative equivalent of ripping bundles of wiring out of the walls. When everything's trundling along, you don't necessarily notice the missing wiring. When something goes very wrong, suddenly the damage becomes apparent.

So my wonderful wife, @tekla.bsky.social, is one of the workers who was laid off Wednesday. The article is honestly too fair to A4TE leadership, who have handled this with a baffling level of hostility and callousness. And yes, they were notified with a one-sentence email starting “Dear Employee”
advocate.com
Workers fought to save jobs at a national trans rights group. Then came a one-sentence layoff email
Advocates for Trans Equality says a $2.4 million deficit forced painful cuts. Its union says management rejected alternatives that could have saved jobs.

The LAPD union is spending millions to defeat a half cent sales tax that would fund firefighters www.latimes.com/california/s...
The Los Angeles Police Department's officer union said Tuesday it will oppose Measure FD, the half-cent sales tax measure on the Nov. 3 ballot pushed by the city firefighters' union - setting up a bitter and expensive clash between two of the city's most powerful unions.
The Police Protective League said it plans to spend several million dollars on broadcast and digital advertising as well as mailers to oppose Measure FD, which if approved by voters would direct hundreds of millions of dollars annually to the Fire Department to build new stations, hire firefighters and upgrade

If I want one thing from my intermittent fame, it is to be as fondly remembered as Peter Lorre was; a staunchly pro-union actor who animators kept putting in cartoons as way of middle finger to their bosses. I can think of no greater honour.

Pleeeeeeeaaaaaaase tell me that all those "you should need a government ID to access the internet" people are rethinking this position now. [We know they aren't. Ed.]
The first two paragraphs of the linked-to story:

"Denmark has suffered a major data breach that has given unauthorised individuals access to names, addresses and personal identification numbers belonging to about 8.8 million people registered in the country’s central population database.

"The breach occurred after unidentified individuals misused a private Danish company’s legitimate access to search the Central Person Register (CPR), the government said in a statement Monday."

Do you know why I think every prisoner should get to vote in prison? Not only are prisoners counted in the census and are most affected by policies (check out prison gerrymandering), but also if you don't, regimes could simply round up 1,000s of dissidents and minorities to reshape the electorate

Caffeine doesn't replace lost hours of sleep, it only masks the fatigue signals to your brain so you don't realize how tired you actually are. You still suffer the cognitive and physiological deficits from the sleep deficiency, you just can't tell. Which is good actually and fine I've decided

some useful context here is that all the tariffs trump has declared are collected by CBP, who then just keep them and don't turn them over to the irs or any agency where congress might assert the power of the purse. that's all trump's money now, to do with as he pleases.
