I wish just existing and doing my daily necessary stuff wasn't so draining. If I had more energy I could work on projects more, but I'm tired all the time. I just want to chill and nap.

If you're currently a student at a college with a faculty member who showed up in the Epstein files, I'd like to talk to you about the campus response for an article. You can reach me at miles_klee@wired.com or millionbear.44 on Signal.

Not surprised that Discord lied, but fucking FURIOUS that they're sending them to a company linked to bloody Peter Thiel.

Meaning any data given to Discord is absolutely going to be given to ICE and other similar groups.
Discord lied.

they’re now sending scanned IDs to persona, a third party company.

“facial scans will never leave your device” -discord lmao.

Before Nirvana, before Pearl Jam. There was Tina Bell, and her band BamBam. Tina Bell, is The Godmother of grunge, a mantle rightly earned! She played a pivotal role in shaping the genre during a time when it was predominantly white male-dominated.

In terms of what cures are being lost:

- Epstein-Barr virus is perhaps the major trigger for multiple sclerosis
- herpes simplex virus causes cold sores, genital herpes, infections in babies, deadly meningitis
- shingles virus causes an intensely painful disease

The ICE List

“There were no attacks on members of the KKK—it was a boycott of them in public life, and then slowly the KKK disappeared.

That’s what we’re trying to do here, to allow the public to know which of their neighbours are involved in this.”

Matt Braly has revealed that his feature film, co-written with Rebecca Sugar, has been scrapped at Sony Pictures Animation.

The project centered on a young boy who embarks on an emotional journey into a fantastical realm of Thai spirits, hoping to find a cure for his illness.

There's a super-viral post going around on here with replies and quotes disabled that is just a rip-off of someone else's image from more than a decade ago. See old.reddit.com/r/mildlyinte... for what *might* be the original source but it's hard to say.

YUP!

If anyone has proven that they cannot be trusted with facial scans and government ID data, it's Discord!

And, as a friend pointed out:

This is the same Discord as was the first big company to have a major leak of ID data from the age verifying?

So @discord.com is going to start requiring a face scan or ID from everyone globally, not just in the UK.

Time to switch to @matrix.org, or something else.

Discord will require a face scan or ID for full access next month
Age verification for all.

We've only been aware of Trump's racism since a 1973 article about his real estate company refusing the rent apartments to black people, the first ever mention of his name in the NYT. That's why his Obama meme comes as a total shock. Who knew?

This is some bullshit. Never enter any contest like this.
Venerable magazine Harper's Bazaar is running its short story contest again, with the winner receiving "the chance" of publication in the magazine. Just one catch: per the wording of the guidelines, _just by entering_ you transfer copyright ownership of your story to Harper's parent, Hearst. 1/3

For those that can't escape Photoshop, (such as myself RIP) request an agent to speak with on their virtual assistant to switch your plan not listed on the site. I requested to REMOVE generative AI "features" or extra apps -- it took me about an hour, but my plan went from 22.99 to 15.99 a month.

One of the reasons I so greatly dislike the “can men and women be friends?” nonsense (yes, full stop, shut up) is that it casts suspicion on people with opposite-sex friends instead of where it more often belongs: on people with no opposite-sex friends.
Anyway, yeah. The overwhelming impression one gets from so many of these emails is that a lot of them are guys who have never had a real, serious friendship with a woman in their lives.

Which sucks for them, but also sucks for every woman who has to deal with them, ever.

can't help but think there is probably a corrosive effect of having sex trafficker-elite emails unveiled for months on end as one of the biggest cultural/news stories of the last year— unearthing an inexcusable moral rot in the upper echelons of power—but without any real accountability/justice

the Epstein files are really devastating because they remind me of how many girls and women miss out on professional opportunities, mentorship and careers because of how many powerful, rich and influential men only view girls and women — and interactions with them — through the lens of sex

This is a great time to get off Substack. Beehive and Ghost are good alternatives.

As an added benefit, your blog won't be driving traffic to Nazis and their sycophants.
The popular blogging platform Substack – used by numerous British comic creators to promote their work – has suffered a data breach. The company is warning users to take extra caution with any emails or text messages you receive…
