The number one lesson to learn from Oblivion is that Patrick Stewart's death will be the inciting incident that allows demons to invade the mortal plane.

This might be the definitive piece on grassroots activism in Chicago this fall. Melissa captures so many pieces of the experience and ties them together into a clear impression of what it feels like to try to help in a city under occupation.
ICE and CBP, among others, have violently retaliated against ICE Watch in part because the agencies correctly understand what many do not: Organized neighbors are mounting an effective defense, and an organized movement is a formidable adversary. My new feature: newrepublic.com/article/2042...
Inside Chicago’s Neighborhood ICE Resistance
Residents have organized a formidable network to protect immigrant communities from Trump’s brutal deportation program. Their efforts are making a genuine difference.

Be loud about Trans rights over the holidays with friends and family. Tell them about what you’re doing to support people. Help people get involved.

A lot of what undergirds the conservative movement is empowering tyrannical family members. Public schools, college, the welfare state, studio apartments, divorce, women working for pay--all things that help check parental power and allow people to escape their families.
This article isn't political, but you can tell exactly who these people voted for, even if the estrangement wasn't about politics.

Someone called herself "poly critical" and honestly I feel thankful that real problems prevent me from caring that much about what other people do.
Also I really want to know why "_____ critical" came to mean "such a zealot for the status quo that I see deviation as personal oppression."

subjecting yourself to Harry Potter isn't worth it even if The eSports Game Company™ is giving it out for free
maybe play something from a franchise that offers more emotional nuance than "be sad because bad thing is happening 😥…okay now be happy because good thing! 😀"

Since Polygon is leaving it out of the headline: Epic Games partnered with The Game Awards to put money into the pocket of a bigot who uses her wealth to further the genocide of trans people through lawsuits and legislation. Every 'free' game gives money directly to JKR, and they are complicit.

People need to learn to live with loss.
I don't say that cruelly, I say it kindly.
Loss defines a considerable part of the human condition and experience. It gives flavor to the things we love.
So much of AI marketing preys on loss avoidance with ugly, inhuman and inhumane distortions.

AI products that do a shitty impression of someone’s dead loved one for money are some of the most depraved and sadistic forms of “big tech innovation” that I’ve seen. Like the emotional manipulation and disrespecting the dead IS the product
