I'm tired. I'm black, mentally ill with chronic pain and forever about 2 seconds from throwing my head back and shrieking like the hounds of hell are on my ass.

Text below says WENN'S MAL WIEDER SCHNELL GEHEN MUSS (When you need to move fast)

Underneath is more German text which translates as "The BΓΆcker Agilo transports your treasures weighing up to 400kg at 42m/min - quiet as a whisper."

The German company that makes the mechanical ladder used in the Louvre heist has used the image to advertise, with the text 'When you need to move fast'

Not a stripper, but my dive bar is down $50,000 compared to this time last year, and my booze is cheap. We're fucked if alcoholics aren't drinking.

I've worked in the industry for years. It's been bad for the last three years now and continuing to get worse.
Prior to covid, at my club you could expect a ratio of 5 or 6 customers per girl. Since covid it dropped to 1 to 1 or worse. And not just my club but the whole area. The first couple years after covid money got stupid good but that all dried up a few years ago.
Previously when the industry slowed, the girls would bounce to other clubs and eventually come back after a month or two. However, girls are now leaving the industry entirely

My earnings have definitely declined in the past year.
I'm still doing okay because of my past regulars but they're coming in less as well. Tourism is down in my state. It isn't great. It isn't my only source of income but l'd be struggling a bit if it was.

Left the industry entirely this year, after the past 3 years of decreasing pay with no bounce back at all.
Most dancers at the last place I worked were lucky to leave with $200 at the end of a shift, at this point.
We're not getting naked for warehouse pay, ladies and gentlemen. The only women that are left are there because they have no other options at all.
Everyone with an option is gone. The money is gone.
Our clients no longer have enough money for the club and many dancers have a second job now.

Redditor asks how things are looking at strip clubs, a known indicator of economic downturn. The answers are pretty bleak (albeit not all responses are from strippers)

The image is a six panel black and white comic

Panel 1- A person lays in bed, scrolling on their phone. 

Panel 2- The person in bed thinks, "Get out of bed."

Panel 3 - It zooms out, showing us that the person has not gotten out of bed and is still scrolling on their phone. 

Panel 4- "Get. out of bed. Get out of bed."

Panel 5- The person is still in bed, still scrolling.

Panel 6- In their head they are yelling, "GET OUT OF BED GET OUT OF BED GET OUT OF BED"

AWS crash causes $2,000 Smart Beds to overheat and get stuck upright - Dexerto The AWS outage caused chaos for owners of Eight Sleep’s Pod3 mattresses as they had no offline mode and were stuck at high temperatures.

"AWS crash causes $2,000 Smart Beds to overheat" is something from a Final Destination pre-production brainstorming session www.dexerto.com/entertainmen...

Like literally the reason the Klan didn't just straight up take the Midwest in the 80's and 90's is because of antifascist groups fighting them lol all of this would have been happening in 2001 instead of now and they would have won

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue and Green are in a grocery store, and Green spots a crate displaying a small mountain of fresh persimmon fruit, looking at it with delight.
Green: Persimmons! They're finally in season!

Blue sits back and watches as Green dives into the persimmon pile, sniffing through them. The fruit mound is taller than one whole fox.
Green: Awwwwh, none of them are ripe yet.

Blue looks at Green calmly, as his suggestion brings a spark of inspiration to Green's expression.
Blue: You could get a few and let them ripen in a fruit bowl at home.

As the foxes head home, Green is hauling along a wheeled fruit grate. He has taken every single one of the persimmons that were on display.

There need to be more stories with houses fucking people in the sex sense. And love stories in which one of the characters being a dangerous freak are made better when that character CONTINUES to be a dangerous freak, only with their dangerous freakness directed more helpfully by the love interest.

Title: Every Day, By A. Stiffler and K. Copeland

Panel 1 is a long black panel with the text: We spend every day together. 

The rest of the comic is in shades of muted blue. Panel 1: A top down shot of a delicate teacup filled with a dark liquid, and a pale plate with a piece of toast on it-- a bite taken out of one corner. Text: She likes earl grey in the morning, with plain toast. 
Panel 2: A woman sitting at a table, smiling as she holds the same teacup.
Panel 3: A woman biting her lip while looking in the mirror, putting on a long necklace with a bird pendant. Text: She's the love of my life.

So You Want to Write Iambic Pentameter In which I share the dirty secrets of the world's least useful skill

Six years ago, I wrote most of the Tragedian dialogue for Pathologic 2 in iambic pentameter. I'm back now doing the same for Pathologic 3. I figured it was helpful to write a guide on *how* I did it – in case I get hit by a bus and the team has to carry on without me.
