They raided the jailed children to steal their letters.
The problem, in federal officials' minds, wasn't confining children in prison-camp conditions; it was that the children could tell the public about it.

“Who listens to audiobooks at 1x speed, that’s soooo slow”. It’s me. I listen at 1x speed. I can’t listen any faster because then their VOICES SOUND FUNNY AND I CAN’T FOCUS. You claim to speak for all with adhd, but you do NOT speak for me

Hyperscalers are tearing hard drives out of the hands of manufacturers. Prices are therefore also rising for SSDs.

"Gamers aren't getting their consoles because AI companies are hogging basically all the RAM on the entire dang planet" is an extremely niche 2026 story, but here we are.
Valve’s Steam Deck OLED will be ‘intermittently’ out of stock because of the RAM crisis

It’s not just the Steam Machine that’s affected by memory shortages.

I’ve been continuing on with Bridgerton while i play my little games and i must say that if i were anyone in penelope’s family post reveal i would never have trusted her again. Also it should have been a secret from the audience and her season late in the game so she’s ACTUALLY a spinster

Gonna be honest you have to prep yourself for travel in ways you don’t expect bc i really had to find a way to respond to every person i met in Brasil telling me “how Jewish” i looked that was both respectful and a reflection of what a weird statement that is

Came across a random account that claims to be deconstructing HP,,,, but from a glance across videos that seems to mean “discussing the minutiae”??? Having a “jkr is transphobic” disclaimer on your page helps HOW when your whole thing is discussing her work in detail.

The AI bubble RAM crisis is caused for non-existent problems by non-existent money for a non-existent infrastructure to meet non-existent demand to make non-existent business and will utterly destroy real business based on real demand and real infrastructure built with real money for real problems.
I understand framing the AI bubble RAM supply crisis in terms of stuff like video game consoles because nerds can conceptualize that but the framing does really undersell the sheer magnitude of how it's going to fuck up everything that even touches a computer.

As someone who regularly struggles to communicate with the people around me, because my brain is built different, the idea that people are seeking out talking to ai because it’s “easier” both makes sense and breaks my heart.

It's also just not evident based. For all the evidence Cass had tried to amass, this speculation that kids who might have ceased being trans are being frozen in time rather than helped to develop their growing minds, identity and agency by exploring and expressing it actively has zero evidence.
Pure moral panic. How, precisely, would a child who experiments with a different haircut or pronouns get “locked in” to a trans identity?
The parents who had no problem letting her identify as trans suddenly restrict her from identifying as cis? It makes no sense.
