I’m gonna just go ahead and do this:

I’m raising money to help with rent. I have a $2500 backlog and while my landlord’s been great I do need to start getting it down. I also need $260 to cover what I’ll be short next paycheck.

I’ve never been so glad to take the bus and subway to work

Before this week I had to go in at 5:30. First bus from my house leaves then so I had to take Ubers in.

Now I can come in at 7, which is a HUGE improvement

Power Rangers having more engagement than fucking Magic: The Gathering (Hasbro’s cash cow right now) is insane. I’d really love to know what metrics they’re using.
Hasbro CEO Chris Cocks posted this image on LinkedIn today. Interesting to see Transformers as Hasbro's most engaged brand.

(Weird to see Power Rangers at #4 and G.I. Joe not in the top 10.)

i would love to see how they aggregated these metrics bc it is entirely likely that a substantial portion of the power rangers engagement is the mainstream news coverage of sentai ending including the words "show behind power rangers" lol

Not technically a first run cinema, but me and @karlrolson.com were in the first audience anywhere to see the Nickelodeon Adventure Time pilot at San Diego Comic-Con.

Even then you *instantly* knew it was gonna be huge.
Have asked this before and always like the responses. What are your biggest “I saw that in the first run cinema” flexes? Couple of mine:

Transformers: The Movie (1986)
Batman: Mask of the Phantasm (1993)
Office Space (1999)

what gas-brained doofus though NOTEPAD needed ensloppification?
The AI features added to Notepad created a critical exploit vulnerable to loading a compromised txt file.

The fix is part of Patch Tuesday, so update your systems.

AI is not a feature I ever desired in Notepad. I should look into some alternatives...

A critical remote code execution vulnerability found in the AI-upgraded Windows 11 Notepad has fueled renewed criticism of Microsoft's forced AI feature creep.

Rewatching the premiere episodes of Superman: The Animated Series. The entire first episode is about climate change deniers trusting an AI over their top scientist

The AI knows the planet is doomed but prioritizes self-preservation. They're so desperate to be ok they believe it

This is 1996, btw

Introduce yourself with the name your parents almost gave you: Maura.

That would have been the name if I were a cis girl and, well... I just don't think I'm a Maura.
Introduce yourself with the name your parents almost gave you: Wilfred. A name passed down through multiple generations of Riddell eldest sons, and since I will never have kids, one that won’t be reinstated, either.
Introduce yourself with the name your parents almost gave you: Angharad. Which is a lovely Welsh name but I am quite sure that it would have been a massive millstone growing up in the US and Canada in the 70s where none of the kids in the playground would know how to pronounce it.

Apologies for the bikini pic on main but HOLY FUCKING SHIT

Also for my Philly area peeps:

Any decent place to get measured for a bra? I don't know if I NEED one - my chest isn't really that big - but I WANT one

It’s really meaningful that the Tenth Doctor as well as the host of Jeopardy are supporters of trans rights ❤️
"In recent history, the Doctor Who actor has repeatedly made headlines thanks to his allyship towards trans and gender non-conforming people – most notably with a subtle gesture during a TV interview that wound up helping to raise £18,000 for the LGBTQ+ youth charity AKT."

What, and I mean this sincerely, the fuck
The airspace over El Paso airport, Texas, has been suddenly closed by the FAA for ten days, closing the airport too. The airspace has been defined as "National Defence Airspace". Nobody knows why.

This obviously isn't sufficient but the fact they even had to clarify this quickly proves the outburst is working. Keep pushing on and get them to cut this shit out.
Discord has posted updated clarification:

-Discord is not requiring everyone to complete a face scan or upload an ID to use Discord
-The vast majority of people can continue using Discord exactly as they do today, without ever being asked to confirm their age
