Oh dang the article that started the avalanche of Biden Old push notifications from every major news outlet was written by a woman who was sleeping with a *different* presidential candidate *at the time*?
Now does everyone understand what I mean by "ratfucking operation"?

given the issues that came from NA FanFest ‘23, would be a good chance for SQUEX to try and do better this year and work on these issues before the con hits for all the disabled attendees

A disabled friend going to FanFest is concerned about the lack of consideration for disabilities and may end up selling their ticket. If anyone can pass along to SE or someone in fanfest, would be appreciated. would be sad if someone couldn't enjoy the event because of obstacles.

IMO the weird exception some supposed leftists seem to make for condemning-the-theft-of-labor-except-art-lol-steal-that-shit is just a weird intersection with puritan "if you enjoy yourself, it's not a real job" brainworms.
"fun" job = member of the leisure class (ROFL) = fair game. Somehow.

Honestly, people calling creators the "petite bourgeoisie" makes me want to snap.
We're working folk. And we work really hard. For next to nothing.
We're not lounging around eating bonbons. We're trying to figure out how we're going to be able to pay rent next month.

Something else worth pointing out about Mamdani's transition committee picks - the folks I recognize are regular people from the community. They're involved and accessible. I've just shown up, photographed, and talked with a number of them!
Imagine Cuomo's picks. You'd NEVER meet them in real life.

What I guess I'm saying is that I've seen a bunch of these Mamdani picks out in the streets doing the work. These are community people, not billionaires, lobbyists, or business execs. So I'm pretty pleased with where this is pointing so far!

Becca is one of the people who was down there and I cannot emphasize how much she is not a “paid agitator” or whatever BS they said. Becca is a community member who cares about her neighbors and went because people more vulnerable than her asked for people to come.
They shot tear gas towards a library/community center, playground, 3 restaurants and a church.

In his book, Weeping Britannia: Portrait of a Nation in Tears, Thomas Dixon described the British around the time of Shakespeare as being known for “sweatiness, drunkenness, meat-eating, anger, violence, simple-mindedness and melancholia”.
TIL that the stereotype of the strict British/English upper lip comes from empire building

The truth about British stoicism
Brits, according to many outsiders, are reserved, repressed, resilient, unemotional and self-controlled. But how did the “stiff upper lip” become so closely associated with Britain?

There's a deadly building on fire in Hong Kong and the culprit seems to be the fact that the building was wrapped in bamboo and nylon scaffolding which let the fire run up the outside of the building. But residents were, allegedly, given the traditional stay inside rules for skyscrapers.

i take frenzy damage every time i see someone go "well i just use it for the boring stuff". what are you TALKING about? if it's boring or unimportant, why are you putting it in? NPC dialogue is fertile ground for worldbuilding, creating verisimilitude, conveying important information, and hijinks!!
Buy a solo indie dev's game because I want to support them.
Find out it uses OpenAI to write "non-important NPC dialogue".

Remember your favorite creator possibly might be struggling with imposter syndrome and doubt and this timeline sucks.. so if you find yourself thinking “wow I really relate to this persons work” or that persons work gives you joy, you should probably tell them. It’s a hard time to be a creative.

FWIW: Mention books you like or you think others might like. You never know what'll happen:
I saw The Sad Bastard Cookbook here so I mentioned it on Masto (in a "in case you need this" sense). It kinda went viral (1K shares). It jumped to a high ranking on Amazon and then they got media attention.

I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.

Question about the dissent by (the far-right) Justice Ziegler: Does this quote actually appear in Moore v. Harper? Did Moore say that state courts' role in congressional redistricting is "exceedingly limited"? I don't think it did! vhdshf2oms2wcnsvk7sdv3so.blob.core.windows.net/thearp-media...
