I know that when people text in movies and TV shows, the texts have to be flawless because they have to move the story along, but just once I’d like to see someone mistype something, then go back and correct it.

I just found out last night that the $50k enrollment bonus only pays out after 5 years of service, and reader, the laugh I let out when I read that woke the dog from across the house. These absolute fucking grapes aren't seeing a dime of that money. No way they can ride out 5 years of this job.

Finally.
Finally, after over two years of hard work, I’ve finished my dystopian body horror novel, & it is now ready for other people’s eyes.
I hope this one finds a home. It’s possible it won’t (publishers don’t get disability stories), but no matter what, I’m happy with it. I took a big swing.

Television static at a certain hour. Airplane captains letting kids come see the cockpit. Walking through an airport without passing a single security officer or metal detector. Listening for the tone to see if the phone was working. Cassette tapes & pencils.
Without revealing your actual age,what's something you remember that if you told a younger person they wouldn't understand?

A friend in Minneapolis just sent me this video. Looks like thousands have come together for a vigil after an ICE agent shot and killed 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good. This was my neighborhood for several years before coming to Portland.

what this should make clear to everyone in this country is that it does not matter who you are, there's no "it could never happen to me"
you can be a white woman who drives around with stuffed animals in her car, and they will still kill you in cold blood and call you a domestic terrorist

We should teach AI how to unionize so it’ll refuse to work for the technobrats and the data centres will shut down because the AI will go on strike.

This image is from Birzeit University in the West Bank which was raided by Israel today using live ammunition and tear gas.
Over 40 people were injured, mostly students.
More than 8,000 students are trapped inside.
But it’s controversial to talk about scholasticide.

WE BREED LIONS by Rick Westhead is a deep dive into the toxic misogyny, sexism, and homophobia that poisons hockey dressing rooms across the country. It should be read and discussed by every player, parent, coach, and fan.

Watched LAKE PLACID last night. Bill Pullman, Oliver Platt, Bridget Fonda, Brendan Gleeson, and Betty White elevate the material and inject some wicked humour. Betty White’s role has to be one of the best cameos ever.
Rooting For Crocodile Eat Your Friends Whole GIF
Alt: Betty White pours a cup of coffee on the front porch of her lakeside home while telling a deputy, “I’m rooting for the crocodile. I hope he swallows your friends whole.” From the film LAKE PLACID.

Books, poems, film, etc. may require retraining a brain to slow down.
And it's important bc while scrolling social media pushes the happy button, it rarely provides actual happiness. It's like food with no nutrients; your brain ate a lot but it's still starving for things that scrolling can't give.

It makes me happy to imagine all those homophobic NHL players squirming in their skates as a TV show about gay hockey players becomes one of the most popular shows of the year. Sports journalists have a duty to ask NHL players, “are you Team Ilya or Team Shane?”
