Damn, it really is hard to miss it when someone has been cast out of the Circle of Trust, isn’t it

I cannot begin to properly articulate how upsetting it is to have had people baselessly accuse trans people of being groomers and pedophiles only for it to come out that they were deliberately doing this as part of a project to provide cover to actual groomers and pedophiles in positions of power

Our beloved Alice Wong has joined the ancestors. It was one of the great honors of my life to call Alice my friend, co-author & co-conspirator. She was a true genius, a force of nature the likes of which the world has never seen before. I love you, Alice, and am equal parts grateful and devastated

steam is apparently allowing "this game had AI in it that it didn't disclose" as a valid return statement, so if you or anyone you know actually paid $70 for slop, get that money back

Posting this again: how are there new recipes being invented? There are a finite amount of ingredients which means a finite amount of worthwhile combinations. How have we not discovered them all already?

this is what downplaying infectious disease on a societal level gets you. companies/ C-suites that believe they have the god-given right to kill your baby and face zero consequences and also continue to kill more babies
On the ByHeart formula recall: “I have never seen a company so aggressively fight to deny the evidence against them," @cspinet.org's Sarah Sorscher said. Why food safety experts are alarmed by the company's response to the infant botulism outbreak:

The establishment press will only entrench itself further and further until it’s socially and ideologically inbred. You can argue we are already there in many ways. This is why independent media is so critical. We have to build the alternative ourselves as writers, editors, coordinators of any kind!

Have any of you played these games? The battleship one was so interesting because it didn’t actually play like the tabletop game. You had to like aim guns and stuff and it felt arbitrary whether you hit or got hit. Was still fun though at least for me.

the Nuzzi piece really puts a nice capstone on the last few days because you have to realize that all of the people who were like "as a journalist i can safely say that the new York times has never done anything wrong, ever" are basically auditioning for her spot

It’s not ‘hard work’ that gets people ahead- it’s the willingness to reflect the obscenity of the wealthy back to them as a good thing that gets people ahead.

Having a magazine is nice because you can be like “hey does anyone wanna write about this thing I really wanna read about?”

I was doing the “implies the existence of…” bit but much funnier back from 2013-2019. I never used one to imply the other I would just say one was the opposite of another.

“Is the opposite of Applebees, orangebirds?” Or whatever.
