somebody finally wrote the perfect distillation of how "masculinity but make it centrist liberal" guys insist men cannot be fulfilled unless they get something a *little* extra special over women, as a treat

Good morning/afternoon!

As of 5 days ago, our Airalo partner account has started using $1000 of data a day in top ups.

We are going to quickly run out of funds to reimburse. With your steady support we can prevent that from happening!

If you can donate or boost to support Stella, it would mean a lot, she's not online to share it herself!

Omg that terrible magazine that approached me about publishing my translations while I was fighting the British Museum and then published my work without contracts or proofs in place... has shut down (last year apparently, i was not paying attention)

I don’t have the NYT cooking app so someone who does might tell me: why would it take a whole *30 minutes* to make egg drop soup?? Are we collecting eggs from the hen coop? Making bone broth from scratch??

What sucks about the soulless losers trying to destroy creative work is that, because they've never done anything creative in their life, they don't understand the basic fact that it's the process of learning how to communicate something that makes it so that you communicate something interesting.
It’s tiresome at this point, but again, their entire pitch is “wouldn’t it be great if there were no such things as talent, craft, and skill,” and what that means is a bland, slop-filled world. www.businessinsider.com/marc-andrees...

I was trying to find the nicest way I can to say what I need to say, then I find out that this "Mandy Wong" who's got a human profile pic, is an in-house developed AI. No wonder I felt there was something off about this article, which barely skims the surface of the subject.

The third book in this series is so misogynistic that it made me retroactively hate the previous two books and I will never again read anything Liu Cixin writes.
by the way, I've written a couple of things on the "western civilization is killed by suicidal empathy" line of reactionary thought. start with the Three Body Problem fans.

No one cared what the NY Times said on their politics and editorial pages. Remember that. That paper is for those in the halls of power and elsewhere, not everyday New Yorkers.
Mamdani's victory wasn't only a repudiation of an old and exhausted political establishment in the city, it was also a triumph over the framing power of the political press, and none more so than the New York Times, whose coverage and editorials worked relentlessly to dampen his appeal.
