Are you a dainty baby bunny sipping chamomile tea out of an acorn top in a sun dappled woodland grove, or a giant sentient suit of mithril armor beheading the king with a big ax?
You contain multitudes.

You’ll never find a better distillation of how technology and capitalism fit together in the 21st century.
During the height of the pandemic, Tyson used Palantir to predict Covid-19 infections among meatpacking workers down to a nearly exactly figure. But rather than using this data to increase worker protections, Tyson used it plan for labor shortages + plant closures

I would love to run a Vampire AP set in Dublin. However if that was a thing there would be no masquerade! Everyone in Ireland knows everyone. If a hunter went into the local pub saying they're looking for John the barman would immediately reply "Do you mean postman Johnny or vampire Johnny?"

They caved in March so they could get a better deal now. They’re caving now so they can get a better deal in some indeterminate future. The better deal is always just beyond their reach, but continuing to cave will get them there. And if you don’t agree with that, you don’t understand Politics,

pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.
A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.
Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."
Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

Hello Friends! I need a new website. I have a Squarespace site, but I need someone with actual artistic talent (and that's absolutely not me) to actually make it, you know, useful and good.
I'd really like if a queer and/or racialized artist did it, and yes, I will pay for your work.

"What did Watson and Crick discover?"
"Rosalind Franklin's notes."
Good joke.

So many surreal stupid things have happened in US history in the past decade but one that's emblematic of our culture and is almost never mentioned is the COVID lockdown being announced following Sarah Palin's performance of "Baby Got Back" on The Masked Singer while dressed as a bear.

This is the facility that I and many others have been protesting. We’ve been hit, thrown, gassed, and shot with pepper bullets but none of that holds a candle to what is being done to people *in* the actual facility.
Read this thread. Don’t look away. Keep your eyes and the pressure on Broadview.

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.
