okay, had to get that out of my system
I can manage a lot of my spectrum shit, but the part of me that (sometimes unfairly) freaks out over inaccuracies that are easily disprovable is a real pain to wrestle down π
(yeah, I won't lie, I lost my temper with that one yesterday -- like legit almost crashed out
and it's ten times harder bc they don't have a phone or computer to actually like . . . fact check shit
they think The News is The News)
or they'll get the details mixed up like "did you hear {insert country} bombed a hospital/school/residential area yesterday???"
NO, DEAREST RELATIVE, *WE* BOMBED A HOSPITAL/SCHOOL/RESIDENTIAL AREA *IN* THAT COUNTRY

Iranian missiles cannot reach the U.S. not by nearly 10,000 miles. So when she says they are threatening lives in the U.S. would love for press to point this out.

Yep. Ford represented a very specific kind of Being Cool By Being A Dipshit that used to be right at the heart of American pop-culture depictions of masculinity.
Cary Grant and Jimmy Stewart both excelled at it.

I am researching how much money the Palestinian diaspora community has sent to support Gazan families since the war in Gaza began. Does your team track this figure? I really appreciate it. With gratitude, [REDACTED]
Palestine Diaspora Movement Hello [REDACTED] We do not collaborate with The New York Times. Your email asks about money sent to Gazan families "since the war in Gaza began." Let us first correct the premise. This is not a war. It is a genocide. Calling it a war is part of the problem. It obscures the reality of a colonized people being massacred by a military machine backed by the United States and defended, sanitized, and rhetorically softened by institutions like yours. The New York Times has spent far too long parroting Zionist propaganda and laundering Israeli state narratives while Palestinians bury their dead. That kind of coverage does not merely misinform. It helps create the political climate in which Palestinian slaughter becomes explainable, defensible, and forgettable. So no, we will not be sharing any figures, internal data, or community information with a paper that has so thoroughly damaged its credibility on Palestine. Quite frankly, we would rather chew jeans than help The New York Times extract from our community while continuing to fail it. Do not contact us again for this purpose, The Palestine Diaspora Movement Team

As an agent who represented majority marginalized authors for 8+ years, I cosign this conclusion. Itβs BEEN true. Itβs also soul-crushing and maddening, because even the most tenacious advocates canβt explain to their clients why they keep being rejected for no clear, skill-based or sensible reason.

Y'all honestly do not realize HOW little we actually know about the NA anime fandom and industry's history at this point. Many of our "Word of God" online sources are packed with inaccurate release dates and inaccurate details, and detailed info is often buried in dead Usenet chatter.
It's fucked.

JUST IN: North Carolina's Dem lawmaker Carla Cunningham gave the GOP the decisive vote to pass a law forcing police to comply with ICE. She said "all cultures are not equal."
She just lost reelection BIG in the Dem primary to a progressive pastor & activist, Rodney Sadler. 70% to 22%!

The court ruled that a work must have a human creator in order to qualify for copyright.
