Correct me if I’m wrong, but are we not past the deadline for major parties to put a presidential candidate on the ballot in all states?
I know an independent can register by August or September in most states, but any candidate running in that way wouldn’t have access to major party funding.

I find it completely shameful that four of our largest publishing companies have banded together to target archival and library services. Targeting the lending of archived media directly sets up for further offenses against libraries throughout the US.

I am genuinely dismayed by the significant amount of ai generated audio appearing on Spotify. Especially considering how much of it is using samples from the voices of prominent artists, and certainly not with their consent.

How in the world am I supposed to handle expressing gender identity as an enby? I have too many options and I simultaneously want all of them and none of them.

I would like to know why braiding your own hair feels so frustratingly difficult when starting out.
I feel like I’m going to tie my hair into a Gordian knot.

I love how from the moment we’re born, we have this innate desire to stack things that ultimately can lead to making wood and rope sleds to carry massive stone slabs miles across land for stacking purposes.

At what point in the event of bankruptcy, does an independent audit and realty appraisal start if someone is forced to sell properties for a $454 million bail bond?
It would be a *shame* if that auditing and appraisal showed exactly how little that property is truly worth.

I’m sure that the timing of the Pokémon company releasing a statement about investigating potential plagiarism didn’t have anything to do with hiding all of the old trailers for Palworld within a couple hours, no sir. It would never be that.

Does anyone else miss the old days of freeware? I'm glad to have caught the tail end of it in the early 2000s when I was growing up. In particular, this classic was my childhood.

I just got around to watching Shin Godzilla from 2016. 📽️
I have never before seen a film portray such a horrifically grotesque practical effects style through modern VFX.
Wonderfully humanizing of the mutant lizard. Portraying the pain and lamentation of a newborn abomination.

Thank you so much for the art share! I do a lot of mmorpg and ttrpg character portraits, but I really enjoy drawing my and my friends' OCs on occasion. I also enjoy horror a lot, but I haven't had a lot of time to draw it. Soon, hopefully!

Nothing slaps you into the absurdity of realty like having a friend inform you of getting into an argument with a radioisotope obsessed furry and having the discourse devolve into slinging obscenities at each other in Spanish.

Is there any conceivable reason why my body responds to a regular dose of melatonin with acting like I’m hungover, and anything less is about as effective as painting the words “Go to sleep, fucko” on the ceiling?
