The Jimmy Kimmel firing, Colbert's show, what's happening at WaPo, CBS... legacy journalism is slowly but surely coming under state control.
It is more important now than ever before that we support the independent journalists out there doing the work not beholden to a fascist's bidding.

My Instagram discover feed is full of AI Slop and it's making me go insane 😭 just give me my 'cats behaving badly' genre of recommendations and leave me alone!!! I'm sick of thinking my brain is having some kind attack every time an AI cooking video pops up

I made the cardinal mistake of politely asking my upstairs neighbour if she wouldn't mind stepping a bit more quietly, complete with a packet of percy pigs to soften the blow, and she's spent the last two hours stamping her feet in protest instead 😭

I don't know who needs to hear this, but if all you accomplish this weekend is reading a riveting novel cover-to-cover whilst drinking multiple kettles of tea and consuming a scandalous amount of croissants, then you will have accomplished more than enough.
