Senator's office not accepting voicemails? Fax them. Seriously. You do not need to have a fax machine. Hit Schumer up, now.

this is why you gotta call your senators even if they aren’t part of the ‘cave’ group - we could still stop this if they realize they have to do this by themselves, with no cover from anyone else

Zohran so scary! 🫣

if you are food insecure for both the humans and pets in your household there is a tool called Pet Help Finder that can help locate pet food banks nearby and other free or reduced price assistance and supplies for pets.
no one, ABSOLUTELY NO ONE, should have to give up their pet bc of this.

I knew about the colour/metal rule; but this gets wilder and more brazen, because of course it does.

I knew about the Ankh. It’s only now I discovered the Morpork.

GNU, Pterry.

pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.

If you lecture disabled people about shopping at amazon, I hope mice eat your plumbing.

My least favourite shopping experience: enter store. Sales person encroaches: Can I help you? What do you need today? Let me find something. Let me stand in your way with a fixated grin and breathe in your face (ok, they went out of business before Covid).

Online Shopper: My villain origin story.

AI generated content disclosure via Arc Raider's Steam page: The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this: During the development process, we may use procedural- and AI-based tools to assist with content creation. In all such cases, the final product reflects the creativity and expression of our own development team.

Not to be the fun police but I do hope people know that Arc Raiders does use generative AI for voice acting, and by supporting the game you're letting higher-ups know that this is an okay practice.

They try to downplay this on the Steam store page by describing the AI usage as vaguely as possible.

If you are (or know) someone who'd be down to do EN>JP translation for a ~300 page 18+ queer comic in the near future please let me know! Paid work of course, thank you so much ✌️💕

Happy 423 years of us! 🎉 📚

The Bodleian Libraries opened for the first time on 8 November 1602...

This means, we're older than the refracting telescope (1608), the publication of Shakespeare's Hamlet (1623) and Sir Isaac Newton's apple (1666)! 😅

Important to differentiate between weasels, stoats and ferrets.
Weasels are weasily identified.
Stoats are stoatally different.
And ferrets are made of water.

This is the only way to show the algorithms that my content is worth showing. Help my art spread. Thank you to everyone who responds!🫂❤️

Families on SNAP worry about not just feeding themselves but also their pets With SNAP benefits going out late, nonprofits are begging for pet food donations to prevent desperate owners from surrendering their dogs and cats to animal shelters.

While they’re still screwing about with SNAP, it’s a good idea to donate to pet shelters, too.

If you dare show up with “poor people shouldn’t have pets”, I will tear such a new one it generates a black hole.

Never rented a video (I seem to recall Blockbusters, though?) and have the pocket Brockhaus, which was a gift.

Never had a boom box.

You could not make this up. The short clip contains praise for their AI generated commercial, and they’re using THAT to claim it’s not AI?

How stupid do they think we are?

Can I just point out that Alison Bechdel is on record for wanting people to call it the Bechdel-Wallace test?

Unfortunately, I’ve seen enough correlation to feel it’s a very useful metric particularly in mainstream media where there is no excuse to have representation of women.

Maybe Don’t Talk to the New York Times About Zohran Mamdani It’s remarkable, the people you’ll hear from. Teach for even a little while at an expensive institution—the term they tend to prefer is “elite”—and odds are that eventually someone who was a studen…

Fall is here and many of you may be shopping for an overcoat.

Let me show what you can get as you move up the price ladder. 🧵

Wot, V is out?

I feel old.

Ah well, can’t run it anyway; another timesink avoided.

Thanks, that was bugging me. Google really is ruining googling for information.

What happened, @nytimes.com? Why not stand by your original headline? Because it’s absolutely an accurate representation of this trash conversation.

To publish this at all should be a fireable offense - but to publish it as women’s rights are being decimated is deeply immoral, bordering on evil

I'll buy another hint for $0. Which video game?

I talk to the press professionally, I'm really, really, really good at it.

So please, please believe me when say you cannot turn this interview request into anything good, it will do only harm. Harm to you, harm to your child, harm to other children.

Extract from Guardian article. "UK universities take any threats to the freedom of their staff or students extremely seriously and we work closely with the government to prevent this. Anyone working or studying at our universities should know that their rights to personal and academic freedom are protected when they are on British soil."

Note the ‘British soil’ bit. My uni has plans to open a campus in China. The VC scoffed at me when I expressed concern that staff and students wouldn’t be able to speak freely, and that - as he said - the curriculum would be censored. It’s the price of doing business.

this is actually impressive, making up a brand new nobel peace prize replacement is a genuine innovation in bribery

absolutely nobody does corruption like FIFA

I don’t know, there are so many bubbles to choose from.

At least tulips are beautiful and make life better.
