We are watching a concerted effort to completely destroy the future happen. It's like we then turn from that and look at students and wonder why they aren't behaving like they used to. I actually appreciate that thread, it's thoughtful. But clearly its a reaction to the existential everything.

We had the lighting of our street's christmas tree y'day: 5 degrees C, pouring rain, no snow

I wish there were a socially acceptable way to point out that 3 decades ago, it would've almost certainly been snowy, lovely and <0C. Lots of older folks there: I think on some level they know it

The House Energy and Commerce committee is holding a hearing TOMORROW DEC 2 on multiple "online safety" bills. It's a 19-package bill FILLED with age verification and censorship that they want to ram through and force on the American population.

Colorado’s wolf plan is in limbo. Washington won’t send wolves, the feds blocked Canadian imports, and Northern Rockies states would rather kill wolves than help restore them. Colorado is “exploring options,” but the clock is ticking. Take action: TeamWolf.Org!

Congress is attempting to fast track KOSA and more than a dozen bills that would restrict internet access, censor speech and increase surveillance under the guise of protecting children.

Committee hearings begin tomorrow.
Lawmakers to consider 19 bills for childproofing the internet
KOSA is back, along with more than a dozen other bills that will erode free speech and privacy in the name of protecting kids.

This is not a debate or anything like it. It is demonstrably a thing that's happening so fight for trans rights, which are human rights, or you're complicit in the campaign of erasure.
Either you understand that there is an organized campaign to push trans people out of public life with the explicit end goal of "morally mandating us out of existence" that is backed by some of the wealthiest individuals to have ever lived, or you're simply not equipped to grasp what's happening.

Guys, as a ex call center employee, this is fucking DESPERATION BEHAVIOR.

Pizza and ice cream once may be an entire year's planned discretionary budget for a team, they do NOT value them enough to provide common comfort. If their doing this? Their not just scared, their TERRIFIED.
Spoke with a source who told me the call volume is so high, a call center for both Mastercard & Visa is bringing out pizza and ice cream so agents don’t quite amid the rush. Long waits are causing dropped calls.

What you’re doing is working. Call MC & Visa.

Important update: I have received word from insiders that Crunchyroll executives have deemed the user backlash to be small enough that their subtitle enshittification & OOONA plans will NOT be cancelled, only delayed.

I have added an update to the article. There's a summary at the top now too.

Crunchyroll is destroying its subtitles for no good reason

A ton of research and effort went into this one. This is the article to read to get to the bottom of Crunchyroll's subtitle changes!

Replies here will show up as comments (eventually)
Crunchyroll is destroying its subtitles for no good reason | Daiz.moe
With the Fall 2025 anime season, Crunchyroll demonstrates zero respect for anime as a medium as the presentation quality of its subtitles reach an all-time low.

thing about autism is if you work really hard for many years, you can learn through trial-and-error how to navigate social situations and interpersonal connections SO effectively that people don't really believe you're autistic anymore and resent you for not being perfect at nonverbal communication

We can never thank Alice enough for fighting all the good fights and especially all the hard fights. We all learned so much from your brilliance, your courage, and your indefatigable leadership. We will never forget you.

ICE enforcement may be a mass disabling event.

Disease is rampant in the camps.

Disabled people report having their medical needs ignored and their conditions drastically worsened.

The indiscriminate use of chemical weapons and violence causes harm.

Abolish ICE.
