Ingram took some of the shrapnel, so ICC has to take its share, too. Like I've said before, this isn't gonna hit our artists, over my dead fucking body, and we'll recover. Eventually.

That ✨PREDATORY CAPITALISM,✨ bay-bee *jazz hands*

Any lawyer I'd hire would cost me ten times what I'd eventually recover, so just gotta eat the big crock of dog shit and move on.

Only tangentially related, but FUN FACT, gang: At least 9 Japanese medical schools, including the illustrious Tokyo Medical University, have been caught CHANGING THE SCORES on admission exams to exclude female applicants for the last 20 YEARS.

This is real! It happened!

He barely talks to them, or looks at them, but they suddenly calm down. "If he's able to do that with chopsticks, imagine what he could do with a sword."

In Eiji Yoshikawa's novel "Musashi", there's a moment when the titular samurai character is staying at an inn, and is being inconvenienced by some rowdy customers trying to start a fight. Then they notice that he's doing something odd with his chopsticks : catching flies in mid-flight.

If it’s liquid eyeliner, they definitely have a body count.

Coolly adding a perfect wing to eyeliner on the F line is the ultimate threat display.

The people you should really be scared of on the Subway are the ones applying impeccable eye makeup on a moving train. They fear nothing and make sure you know it.

La fraichement ex porte parole du PS bossant pour Palantir nous expliquait il y a quelques semaines qu'on pouvait être de gauche et travailler pour Palantir.
Parce que les mots n'ont pas trop de sens pour ces gens.
C'est une opinion comme une autre, le crime de guerre, n'est-ce pas

Mais vous comprenez, il y a des gens qui n'ont pas déclaré quand ils ont vendu une chaise sur le bon coin alors qu'ils sont au RSA.

C'est pire que ça.
Non seulement personne n'est irremplaçable, mais on doit absolument favoriser d'avoir des politiques et des organisations aisément remplaçable.

A quoted tweet from a user named Sam that reads: "How Twitter is rigged Type in all caps because you're excited? Lowers your reputation. Include links? Your score goes down. It's like the Credit Score system from Hell. And given Cisgender is treated as a slur & MAGA boosted, you can guess what's categorized as 'offensive'" The tweet they quoted is from user SADIQ and reads: "Tweepcred is X's reputation system Based on your behavior, you get a tweepcred score It determines your reach Break the algo rules, you score goes down and your reach disappears What are the rules of the X algo tho? Glad you asked." SADIQ includes a photo of Twitter's algorithm code that calculates a user's reputation. SADIQ continues: "Post 'offensive text'? 80% reach reduction Offensive username? 80% reach reduction All caps tweet? That's seen as 'shouting. Major penalization. Include links? Yup, penalized"

I'm begging any artists still using Twitter claiming it's integral to their work to just leave. It's been revealed the site works off a made up "credit score" from hell and punishes you for posting like a normal human being.

Abandon Twitter for good. It's time. It's been time.
