it's not even *just* evil. it's also promising a kind of technological immortality that is actually impossible with the technology they're using. even if this kid somehow has not gotten bored with talking to a shitty chatbot made from a 3 minute video call with his grandmother in multiple decades...

Racial Resentment Among White Americans by Birth Year and Demographics This figure presents the same four-panel layout (education, gender, geography, religion) but for White Americans from birth years 1940 to 2000. Education panel: A pronounced divide shows non-college Whites with substantially higher resentment across all cohorts, increasing sharply for older birth years. College-educated Whites rise more modestly but remain distinctly lower, especially among younger cohorts. Gender panel: Male and female trendlines rise together, with women slightly higher in mid-century cohorts. Younger cohorts of both genders start lower and climb with age. Geography panel: Regional lines separate clearly: the South is highest in resentment, followed by the Midwest. The West and Northeast show lower levels, with the Northeast consistently at the bottom. All regions slope upward toward older cohorts. Religion panel: Protestants show the highest resentment, peaking among mid-century cohorts. Catholics sit in the middle. Non-affiliated Whites show the lowest resentment, especially among younger respondents, with a small rise among mid-century generations. The figure notes CES 2024 data with GAM-smoothed trendlines.

Those claiming Dems should retreat on racial justice aren't hard-headed realists, they're pushing against the electoral tide rather than leaning into it. The story of Gen Z isn't about racist backlash or red-pilled young men. It's the most racially progressive generation in American history. 🧵

yessssss! i realised today that i have ACTUAL VISIBLE TRAPS and am going to have to SHAVE the pitiful beginnings of my facial hair soon. every day is a new mini rebirth and i’m so happy for us! please do keep talking about it as much as you like 🔥

the degree to which it absorbed my brain for the first couple of months was WILD. writing deadlines whooshed by while i was googling random shit and being obsessed with my new smell 😂

getting a text in the middle of the night and it's just my loathsome vizier saying "Your enemies lie in wait, my lord!!" what am I supposed to do with that. its four in the morning

thank you for your service

- signed, someone also *painfully* obsessed with this entire vibe

Thatcher's government did this with Section 28, banned the "promotion of homosexuality" as a danger to children, while actively protecting Jimmy Savile and who knows how many other pedophiles. It's the same damn playbook.

a graphic of a book showing the new UK paperback cover for The Gentleman and his Vowsmith by Rebecca Ide. it’s a magenta background with fancy pale blue swirls in each corner, pale blue silhouettes of two men back to back in the centre and the title in big yellow letters. it’s very regency romance but gay, and there are two cover quotes, one from Freya Marske that says “a piece of magic in itself” and one from C.S Pacat that says “a delectable read”

TorUK are giving my baby a whole new face for the paperback release in Feb! isn’t he a pretty boy? 😍

Vaccines account for <10% of global pharma profits.

Chronic diseases make up the majority of profits, by far.

A major driver of chronic disease? Infectious diseases.

MAHA has always been a Trojan horse for the pharma industry.

Jacob Elordi Frankenstein’s creature IS a Disney Princess, and I won’t be convinced otherwise

this is how you get characters who feel real, because the author treated them like they were. although it can be a frustrating process. one of my characters has been so difficult to crack, so intent on hiding things he sees as shameful that i had to rewrite his scenes MANY times as i kept digging

'I don't really know where to start with this because this isn't the sort of story that really has a fixed beginning.'

The book cover to The Chosen One Con book, book one the Lost in the Aether duology by Trudie Skies. The cover shows a young white man in a long trench coat putting a glowing blue potion in his inner pocket as though stealing it. In the background are factories with chimneys blowing out dark smoke.
