This is repulsive.
An advertisement from The Washington Post for the newspaper's AI service. The picture is a screenshot from the ad, listing The Washington Post's logo across the top, a set of boxed in letters reading ASK THE POST AI, larger text beneath that reading "Built on facts. Powered by conversation," then in smaller text "Ask the Post AI is fueled by trusted reporting and your curiosity. Even better, it's free for everyone to use. Where will your next question take you?" Finally, there is a large blue round button with white text reading "Start your conversation."

Text that reads: There were no jolly little signs saying: You Don’t Have To Be Pitilessly Sadistic To Work Here But It Helps!! But there were things to suggest to a thinking man that the Creator of mankind had a very oblique sense of fun indeed, and to breed in his heart a rage to storm the gates of heaven. The mugs, for example. The inquisitors stopped work twice a day for coffee. Their mugs, which each man had brought from home, were grouped around the kettle on the hearth of the central furnace which incidentally heated the irons and knives. They had legends on them like A Present From the Holy Grotto of Ossory, or To The World’s Greatest Daddy. Most of them were chipped, and no two of them were the same. And there were the postcards on the wall. It was traditional that, when an inquisitor went on holiday, he’d send back a crudely colored woodcut of the local view with some suitably jolly and risqué message on the back. And there was the pinned-up tearful letter from Inquisitor First Class Ishmale “Pop” Quoom, thanking all the lads for collecting no fewer than seventy-eight obols for his retirement pension and the lovely bunch of flowers for Mrs. Quoom, indicating that he’d always remember his days in No. 3 pit, and was looking forward to coming in and helping out any time they were short-handed. And it all meant this: that there are hardly any excesses of the most crazed psychopath that cannot easily be duplicated by a normal, kindly family man who just comes in to work every day and has a job to do. Vorbis loved knowing that. A man who knew that, knew everything he needed to know about people.

Someone asks me about Final Fantasy Tactics: War of the Lions, Vagrant Story, Final Fantasy 12, or why the secret ending in Cyberpunk 2077 is so good:
A text message reading: "Oh I good I get to explain this you," followed by a second message reading: "You will regret this," followed by a "now typing" bubble.

in this instance it was a vtuber named Grimmi whose horror content I really liked.

for context, Kirsche has a long and varied track record of racism, homophobia, transphobia, and so on.
A tweet from "SmugAlana" declaring "COMPLETE AND UTTER TOTAL FOX DOMINATION VICTORY, VICE TOOK DOWN ALL ARTICLES SMEARING KIRSCHE" followed by a reply from GrimmiVT reading "That's nice, I think even if peeps weren't a giant fans of hers they had to be finding some of the stuff being stated completely ridiculous past a certain point"

My latest for Tribal Business News got 15k shares.

The story can be found here:

tribalbusinessnews.com/sections/pol...

If you'd like to support a Native journalist, I am trying to stay afloat while supporting another adult and need perpetual help with health costs.

The headline and photo for a story on Tribal Business News. The headline reads "Trump budget proposes deep cuts to Native American programs." Beneath the headline is a photo of US President Donald Trump; in his right hand he is holding a pen between his middle and forefinger, while his left hand is placed on the front of a black folder. The cutline for the photo reads: "President Trump's budget request cuts hundreds of millions from programs that support tribal self-governance and Native communities. (Photo: White House)" The byline reads "By Chez Oxendine | May 2, 2025" and the share counter notes the story has had 15,600 shares across Facebook, Twitter, email, and through a generalized share link.

A parody screenshot of Final Fantasy Tactics during a duel sequence. A blond man named Wiegraf stands surrounded by dead knights. In his dialogue box, in comic sans, is the phrase "hey dipshit I hope you've been using more than one save slot."

The story, for those of you who don't want to give the New York Post your click, is about the Massapequa Chiefs, the town of Massapequa's school mascot. The logo is a relatively innocuous and commonly used man's face wearing a war bonnet.

Near dead-ringer for the tribe's logo, in fact:
A circular logo. The red border around the circle contains "Chamber of Commerce of the Massapequas, Inc." in white letters, while the interior of the circle has a profile of a man wearing a war bonnet, facing left.

"how long can you talk about the class politics and deconstruction of the rags to riches trope in Final Fantasy Tactics?"

A tumblr post from deactivated tumblr user "btc-official-deactivated2024071" that reads: "yoooo theyre playing my fucking leitmotif in here this party rules (hearing it change to minor key) Oh Shit. Oh Fuck" The user's avatar is the same as is typically used for anonymous users of the site: a spherical gray head shaded on the left side and wearing sunglasses, facing the right.

Messages from Discord. The first, from user Chez Dispenser with a cartoonish avatar of a bearded man, reads: eh, with a party you wouldn't even have to go down there, just send me in captain, my body is a machine that turns unholy fish monters into hot lady katanas The second, from a blanked out user, reads: previously unsaid sentence btw Chez Dispenser responds: hamlet, monkeys, infinite typewriters, etc.

I love this stupid cat.
A grey cat lying on her side, turning slightly to squint at the camera. A grey cat lying in a crescent shape, with her back paws extend outward. A grey cat lying on her back and stretching one forepaw.
