scandal noted, he was an absolute terror to his co-star stana katic (who plays detective beckett). he was such a terror that it eventually drove her off the show which is why the ending is such a mess (sounded like they also should have been paying her more)

screenshot of a pop up prompt on the pokemon home app. when you open the app your “basic box” shows 30 pokemon, and there’s a button that says “Pokemon not in Basic Box: 1258” the prompt then explains that if i want to see my other 1258 pokemon i need to pay nintendo $15.99 a year (or else). text on the prompt reads: Basic Box To view all of your Pokémon, you would need to change your current plan to a Premium Plan. Would you like to change your plan? Cancel OK Pokémon not in Basic Box 1258 #

screenshot of article that shows that in studies, it’s mostly inept jerks that sign up to be gestapo agents. text reads: Why Underachievers Dominate Secret Police Organizations: Evidence from Autocratic Argentina by Adam Scharpf and Christian Gläßel GIGA German Institute of Global and Area Studies University of Mannheim Abstract: Autocrats depend on a capable secret police. Anecdotal evidence, however, often characterizes agents as surprisingly mediocre in skill and intellect. To explain this puzzle, this article focuses on the career incentives underachieving individuals face in the regular security apparatus. Low-performing officials in hierarchical organizations have little chance of being promoted or filling lucrative positions. To salvage their careers, these officials are willing to undertake burdensome secret police work. Using data on all 4,287 officers who served in autocratic Argentina (1975-83), we study biographic differences between secret police agents and the entire recruitment pool. We find that low-achieving officers were stuck within the regime hierarchy, threatened with discharge, and thus more likely to join the secret police for future benefits. The study demonstrates how state bureaucracies breed mundane career concerns that produce willing enforcers and cement violent regimes. This has implications for the understanding of autocratic consolidation and democratic breakdown.

Acting on the suspicion

never met an under achiever that likes getting yelled at every day, sounds effective

screenshot from linked article in above post, text reads: “Microsoft announced company-wide layoffs in July, reportedly resulting in as many as 9,000 people being laid off across all of its departments, and multiple projects were cancelled, including Rare's Everwild and The Initiative's Perfect Dark (the latter studio was also closed). In further unpopular news for fans, Microsoft announced a 50% price increase to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate last month. The company has also raised the price of Xbox consoles twice this year.”

damn rip the i initiative’s perfect dark

oftentimes i dont know what words mean, so i look them up

two drawings of a large pumpkin carriage with large wheels. light from some small windows and the observation deck can be seen. in the first image the pumpkin carriage is rolling across land, with a road and house in the foreground (very small compared to the pumpkin) and mountains and trees in the background for scale. the pumpkin is very large. the second image shows the same pumpkin carriage but it has rolled off of the shore and into the ocean and is floating like a large cruise ship

here’s what i’m thinking

11:11 goodnight

i hope paul gets 2nd place
