Fuck YouTube. I would rather my videos stay removed than edit them to cut out the word gambling. For years, my work was about how loot boxes were gambling, and I used the word because companies didn’t want the word used.
I’d sooner lose every video than destroy the point of them.
Fuck. YouTube.

In late stage capitalism, having the ostensibly more left major party support your right to die when you are no longer useful to capital rather than supporting your right to pain medication, healthcare, counseling, housing—ie your right to LIVE—is fitting

It says a lot that AI “artists” are so creatively bankrupt they think writing prompts is a difficult, arduous task.
You realize coming up with a prompt is what a real artist would call “having an idea,” right?
It took them weeks of sleepless nights to have some basic thoughts.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: I don't think you call something a "bridge" if it's 800 miles wide and inhabited for thousands of years. #beringia was a land-bridge between Asia and North America like the Urals are a land-bridge between Europe and Asia.

okay, seeing the headlines pop up in news feeds, apparently it's time for various companies to insist we believe there is an AI actress named "Tilly Norwood"
there is no AI actress, there is a computer graphics program that makes an animated character

That's it. The whole fucking timeline is broken. We are officially living in a weird alternate universe caused by someone fucking up the flow of time. So far this year, we've seen new releases by Men Without Hats; Billy Idol ft. Avril Lavigne; and Blondie ft Coolio.

And we knew this. This wasn't speculation. We studied it, we had the talking points. We trained volunteers to explain this to people. It's not a surprise. Rich people don't flee places with good quality of life when we increase the quality of life. They might try to cheat us, but they don't leave.

States should continue to provide benefits and tell Trump to sue them, for a change.
This is an absolutely insane administrative process. Within the space of a week, states were told by judges/White House
*no SNAP benefits
*half benefits
*full benefits
*pause provision of benefits.
Result is chaos, uncertainty, and uneven access to benefits depending on where people live.

NEW: The Trump admin told states it must immediately "undo" the work to provide full food stamp benefits, or face penalties. The feds sent this in a late-night memo, only adding to the chaos and confusion around SNAP. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/09/b...
