With the death of Brigitte Bardot, it's not a good day to be an animal lover.
Pretty much every single animal shelter/refuge/association I'm helping is posting her eulogy, conveniently forgetting she was a racist, ableist, homophobic, garbage person.

Talking to one of these types at a con who asked how I 'got in' with so many 'famous writers' who I'd been talking to and I said "we made friends before anyone knew who we were decades ago by striking up interesting conversations and enjoying each other's company" and he kept re-asking the question.
They have come to the convention hoping to "break in" and then find themselves -- shocker! -- a "nobody in the book world." Yeah no shit! We all are! I have gently told guys like this a million times that it takes most of us *years* of hard work but they do not believe that could be true for them. +

Wild how hormone therapy is “life-changing” when it makes a menopausal woman horny enough for her husband again, but “dangerous ideology” when it helps trans people. Turns out the moral line is just whether a man gets laid.

Hi! I'm Paul, a French game programmer living in Lille.
You might know me for narrative-centric games such as “Bury me, my Love”, or “King of the Castle”.
I am also one of the maintainers for the .NET integration in #GodotEngine.

Poland’s parliament has debated a government report showing that most Ukrainian refugees in the country are working and contributing more to public finances than they receive in support.

Good morning Kimberly! =^uwu^=;;
I’m sorry to hear that you’re having trouble logging into Jellyfin! It looks like your SSO account was indeed deactivated on 2025 Dec 15.
According to our records,
1. On or about 2025 Nov 15, you were broken up with by ___, who noted this as a “final break” on vis event report sheet. I’m also seeing that Ve ticked the “Unilateral” box, meaning it isn’t contestable.
2. Our Salesforce shows you aren’t close to any other polycule members
Unfortunately, our solo-poly access policy doesn’t allow us to extend resources to unpartnered members after the 30 day grace period following your break. This includes entertainment resources (Jellyfin / *darr / nzbget / Pornhub for Enterprise™ seat), as well as O365™, Adobe CC™, and shell access on the Nix clusters. We’re so sorry for your loss, cutie!! 😭💜
If you have any questions, you can reply to this email to generate another ticket, or you can contact zzzoeee@ from our Partner Infra team (note: three Zs and three Es in their LDAP, we have a lot of Zoes here!)
