Anyone invoking Death of the Author as an excuse should be aware that Rowling and her TERF friends sharply disagree with you. Rowling has even explicitly claimed that the popularity of her properties is itself a ratification of her transphobic beliefs

I don't really care if this is a popular or unpopular opinion. It's mine. Make this book canon. Martha Wayne getting got because she went back to her journo roots to try to take down a billionaire pedophile ring instead of spending her days being a trophy wife is what I need.

Just the other day, I saw someone say they are glad young black men are "wearing quarter zips" and putting away "Jordans," which they say are associated with "ratchet behavior." One should be careful about equating black culture with "ratchet behavior," as they are not one and the same.

DOGE was created for data theft and infrastructure dismantling and it wildly succeeded on both counts within the first few weeks of its existence. It will take a generation to rebuild what it destroyed and the breach of data is unprecedented.
Bye bye, “DOGE”.

thinking about how my parents escaped vietnam, where the CIA destabilized my family's home country by spreading misinformation, and they landed in the united states, which is now getting destabilized bc someone in vietnam is spreading misinformation
Twitter pays people based on engagement (views, retweets, comments, etc). It appears that many MAGA accounts are based abroad and they use AI technology to generate low-effort rage bait.
My guess is that this will get worse as AI tech improves. For instance, fake videos of minorities doing crime.

Working on a B+W comic where people mostly wear formal suits is actually easy mode.
Working in color where the characters don't have to abide by a specific dress code: surprisingly hard???
What kind of clothes would they wear? What color palettes do they like? What kind of shoes??!!?

idk whether to be impressed at mamdani's sheer herculean likeability or unnerved at the candid glimpse into the level of cognitive dissonance the average politician maintains on the regular either way this makes me feel like my brain is on fire
A reporter asks if Mamdani stands by calling Trump a fascist. Mamdani starts to give a delicate answer.
Trump (smiles, pats Mamdani's arm): "That's OK, you can just say yes. It's easier. I don't mind."

One thing "Eddington" got right is that "child sexual abuse" is a very easy thing to base a conspiracy theory on, because most of us know people who were abused as children, or were those kids. So it's easy to conclude there's some hidden structure, but the actual "conspiracy" is just rape culture.
