At the same time the Epstein Files are reinforcing how protected sexual abusers really are, Neil Gaiman is using the nightmarish sexual violence allegations against him to market his next book. His DARVO defense is the first selling point. Rape culture is everywhere and unavoidable.

So about that 7 million.

Someone on the twin cities geeks page has been tracking Melania seating and noticed that every showing has exactly the same seats purchased.

Instead of making bad faith interpretations to spawn quantum bears, we can make good faith interpretations to spawn quantum doggos.

I like Powered by the Apocalypse but I think we need something that speaks to us in the present moment, like Powered by the "Hopepocalypse". Instead of mixed successes, why not little successes? Big success (10+), little success (7-9), miss (3-6) and mistakes into miracles (2-).

AltNPS carefully did find-and-replace on a few specific words, but they can't hide that this is the opening paragraph of Keroun Demirjian's article in the New York Times.

Nothing meets the current moment like conservatives trying to counterprogram the Superbowl by headlining a guy who wrote an entire song about how much he loves statutory rape.

Not to be mean, but I would hope a British political scientist focused on the ethnic politics of Africa would be aware of how often this happens.

Thrilled to announce that Slay the Princess has officially surpassed one million units sold!

When we started work on it, we couldn't imagine a visual novel would be able to hit such a milestone let alone being backed by critical acclaim. And yet, here we are. We couldn't have done this without you.

Lolita was not a great and tragic love story. It’s supposed to be a stomach-twisting story of destructive obsession and self-delusion, told in prose so pretty it the cognitive dissonance heightens your feelings of unease. You’re forced into following only Humbert’s account, kept in his control.

that same logo in its original blue and red colours, which happens to be the literal flag of the British Union of Fascists

Top tip: to avoid having the British Union of Fascists logo on the side of your mock-up train, don't use horrible text-to-image AI slop instead of actual designers and artists.

Over an article saying that Mamdani will be raising minimum wage for grocery delivery apps in NYC someone comments with a facepalm emoji and says "So if you have ADHD and live in a food desert... you should just... starve. Got it."

Can't now find it but there's a classic old tweet which said something like "Every time we're on the verge of achieving class consciousness in America a CIA sleeper agent activates and, their eyes glowing red, they just tweet out "John Brown was a white saviour"" and I think about it often.

This story is just crushing. I had no idea.
It infuriates me even more that on the island, they have to learn the American things, yet they are not citizens. I know there are many logical people in Alaska. Please let them be on the jury.
