i just want to say one more thing, KU for a long time, at least in the romance space, was really well known for being the place where BIPOC authors were really thriving. So to have this be apartheid-Coral, a fucking white woman be the face of all this grift is even more disgusting than you realize.

Buried in this piece is a throwaway line about how actually her real hustle is selling online courses to aspiring AI hacks, marking an extraordinary symbiosis of my two most hated internet poisons

There is simply no moral argument for allowing war criminals to compete at the Olympics.

The older I get I more I believe lots of people should not have kids. It’s funny I just said this to a friend this week. It’s sad to think many kids never recover, never remove themselves from the trauma.

Texas fundamentally is ungoverned, in any traditional sense. Governance has merged with corruption: It's not for solving problems anymore, it's for doing favors for rich people. Like letting them place oil tanks in floodplains. What could go wrong? www.expressnews.com/business/art...
The Guadalupe has flooded before. Now, oil tanks sit in its floodplain.
Lack of a state floodplain policy in Texas enabled oil companies to build in areas hit by an epic inundation less than 30 years ago.

Absolutely amazed that we live in an era when social media watchers are the first sign of the next big scandal.
Jay-Z has wiped his Instagram. Beyonce has lost 10 million followers. The NFL and Apple Music unfollowed Jay-Z on socials. So has his mother-in-law and Rhianna.

I’ve always understood that the key to romantic success is to finish as rapidly as possible rather than take your time over anything
The whole article is repulsive but this passage is at the core of it. She has no interest in writing books, she wants to win some kind of competition that nobody entered

Tim Walz doesn't have to win an election because he already quit, and so far he's used the gently chaotic freedom that decision grants him to *checks notes* let fascism run rampant while the rest of us scrape together whatever we can spare to help keep people housed and fed. Unforgivable cowardice.

I am reading the most fascinating book on 18thC French seamstress guilds (spoiler: full of working women).
The world may look changed in many ways, but half of this book could be written this century.
Explaining it badly, but it will be in the next ThreadTalk.

FAMU can't use the word Black on anything posted around campus related to Black History Month, to stay in compliance with Florida state laws against DEI. Black students can't use the word Black at their Historically Black College during Black History Month.

$700 BILLION for AI! Where is that kind of money coming from in this economy? Main street americans see the prices of utility bills, rent, groceries & other goods steadily rising and see america's ku klux klan administration lining their pockets daily. Change is in the air. Feel it?
The AI boom is so huge it’s causing shortages everywhere else
The hundreds of billions of dollars being spent by tech companies on AI projects are diverting resources from other parts of the economy.
