Panera’s moderately caffeinated lemonade was loosely associated with 2 deaths before it was taken off market.

This article alone has 4 examples of ChatGPT encouraging young people to commit suicide, and OpenAI’s own public stats estimate over a million users discuss suicide with ChatGPT each week.

Rowling could've lived in her castle and tweeted "Hagrid wants you to brush your teeth and have a happy St. Swithin's Day!" a few times a year and HP would've had the same legacy as Pooh or Middle-earth, but she consciously chose Evil For Evil's Sake like a badly written children's fantasy villain
So I had a walk around the very crowded exhibit hall at FanExpo Boston. There is, as expected, sooooo much cosplay. Star Wars, One Piece, Walking Dead, Disney, superheroes. You name it. Which makes it notable what is missing. Haven’t seen a single Harry Potter robe, tie, or wand.

I found this reply interesting ("Can those foreign companies open shop in the US?")

I don't think Japanese or South Korean menswear can be made in the US. At least, not without losing something. Let's explore why. 🧵

my friend loaned me this and I spent a few hours perusing it, and it’s great. photography books from before AIDS always make me feel extremely emotional, and the work is incredibly gorgeous. extremely good project. a handful of favorites (although really it should be viewed as a complete book!)

When people bitch that kink at pride drives corporations away, remind them the corporations never gave a fuck about them. It was always about the money. Kinksters are your brothers and sisters, they will be there fighting for you, because they do have skin in the fight.
Several of the country’s largest LGBTQ Pride celebrations have lost major sponsors — including Anheuser-Busch, Comcast, Diageo and Nissan — to the tune of $200,000 to $350,000 per event.

CALLS ARE WORKING - it has bought us precious time, but we NEED to keep the pressure up.

Tomorrow is the cloture vote.

KEEP CALLING: (202) 224-3121 ☎️☎️☎️

Tell your Dem Senator to vote NO on Cloture and NO on the Republican spending bill.

Do NOT assume your Senator will be good on this. Trust me.
🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave.

Tell them:
1. Vote NO on Cloture
AND
2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill.

Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it.

TODAY is the showdown.

Just sitting here reminding everyone that last year when I represented antigenocide protesters and begged and pleaded with everyone to stop calling my clients Hamas because it was wrong and dangerous...everyone then called ME Hamas
This is who they want to portray as an agent of Hamas.

these are the names of young Black men who were "found dead" after the Ferguson uprising following the murder of Michael Brown in 2014. Edward Crawford Jr. is in the famous image below. his death was ruled a suicide.

our gov't is not new to silencing activists. the least we can do is remember them.

The films of David Lynch are strange creatures, but to focus only on their most ungainly appendages is to willfully ignore their equally beautiful qualities.
