A lot of people have convinced themselves that the most cosmopolitan liberal-socialist ever elected to prominent office in the history of the United States is a raging Hitlerite because he refuses to recognize the "right" of another country to define itself first and foremost by ethnic citizenship.

Whenever people gush over AI I'm going to think about Sir Arthur Conan Doyle being utterly convinced that he'd discovered real scientific evidence of real fairies because he saw these pictures
One of the Cottingley Fairies photos. A little girl is surrounded by what is very obviously paper cutouts of fairy pictures. Another of the Cottingley Fairies photos. A little girl is looking at what is, again, very clearly a cutout drawing of a fairy. Yet another of the Cottingley Fairies photos. Once again a little girl is looking at what is, again, very clearly a cutout drawing of a fairy. The final Cottingley Fairy photo. This one is supposed to be maintained as real. Again, very clearly paper cutouts. If you go look at the wikipedia page about it you can even see the original drawing from the book they were from.

If you have to travel to Detroit - take the tunnel. Do not give Trump's oligarch friends any money.
Refuse to travel on the Ambassador Bridge.
Take the tunnel.
Better yet don't travel to the States at all.

I'm in a field where I can often get backchannel feedback on interviews impressions. I've had so many talent/hr people tell me off-the-record that clients feel they don't have to hire us anymore. Just full stop.

I used to have to beat headhunters off with a stick. Now unemployed since Oct.

In this story, there is a lot of support for trans people that you rarely see covered in the media unless they're being attacked. Businesses and individuals all standing up and saying 'I will not be a part of this' and I think that needs to be highlighted because it can feel lonely out there.

Had a dream that there was global panic about the world running out of oxygen, Nintendo was the only video game company to make a statement about it, and the internet collectively spent its final hours on Earth debating whether Nintendo was being genuine or not
A fabricated statement from Nintendo of America's Twitter account addressing a fictitious scenario in which the Earth's oxygen supply is presumed to be depleting at a rapid pace, leaving humanity with mere days to live. "This is Miyamoto. On behalf of everyone who is employed at Nintendo Co. LTD and its subsidiaries, we deeply mourn the countless human lives which will be lost due to the depletion of the global oxygen supply. To anyone who has ever played one of our games, we are eternally grateful to have created long-lasting fun and memories for you. To ease the suffering of families and children across the world, the Mario Kart World game for the Nintendo Switch 2 system will be available as a free download on Nintendo eShop for the foreseeable future. We hope this small gesture of kindness will ease the pain as humanity prepares for a worst-case scenario." The statement is distastefully plastered with logos for Nintendo and Nintendo Switch 2, as well as with a render of Mario from Mario Kart World. A fabricated Twitter thread responding to the fabricated Nintendo statement. John Default Profile Picture: "No one read this statement and thought it was distasteful? Why did Miyamoto think this would help anyone?" NintenDeen: "Simple: Nintendo is so depraved that they'd exploit a global crisis to boost the player count of the failed Mario Kart World and force consumers back into the Switch 2 ecosystem to boost sales and player numbers." A fabricated Twitter thread responding to the fabricated Nintendo statement. PlayStation Nation: "What the fuck are you doing falsely advertising sales during these trying times? I went to the website and Mario Kart World is still selling for $80 USD." Kremling Kevin: "If you actually read the statement, it clearly says the discount is available on Nintendo eShop. Meaning the application on the Switch 2 itself, not the web browser version." PlayStation Nation: "Point still stands." A fabricated Tweet responding to the fabricated Nintendo statement. Isaboner: "Nothing for Switch 1 owners?"

there's no winning in the eyes of terfs, it's always an ever-shifting goalpost with them

in their eyes you're A) deluding yourself that to be a woman is to reinforce stereotypes of femininity or B) showing your true masculine nature by not conforming to the rules of traditional femininity

This style of light doesn't really appear in animation anymore. You know it when you see it -- it's bright, hot and almost dangerous.

Our new issue explores the tricks behind it, and how one artist has revived the look for the digital age: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/dangerous-...

Discord advises UK users that they "may be part of an experiment" where instead of their age verification data never leaving their phone, it will now actually leave their phone
www.eurogamer.net/discord-advi...
Notice reading: "Important: If you're located in the UK, you may be part of an experiment where your information will be processed by an age-assurance vendor, Persona. The information you submit will be temporarily stored for up to 7 days, then deleted. For ID document verification, all details are blurred except your photo and date of birth, so only what's truly needed for age verification is used."

A government can win 40% of the vote and 100% of the power. That is not majority rule. It is a flaw of first-past-the-post.

When big decisions about student debt are on the line, power should reflect how people actually voted.

That is what proportional representation delivers.
Graphic with a gradient background asks: Should a politician with 40% of the vote be able to unilaterally change post secondary funding and saddle students with thousands more in debt? A news headline from GuelphToday.com reads: Students concerned about rising debt burdens amid Ontario OSAP, tuition changes, with a quote noting students could graduate with an additional 7,270 dollars in debt. Text below states that proportional representation requires real majority support to pass major changes, not just a distorted majority of seats. The footer says Learn more at fairvote.ca.
