The last three books about the Choctaw language & culture that I've bought have *ALL* turned out to be just AI-generated junkπ€¬
It's genuinely infuriating to see this careless nonsense happening, as it dilutes the actual language and culture and makes it harder for me to learn about my own humanity

A $100,000-dollar American missile, launched by a $20 million plane that flies at a cost of $6,000 dollars/hour to kill people who live on less than $3 a day in Iran. Meanwhile in America, Republican lawmakers believe that a $6.20 daily SNAP benefit providing food to a needy person is wasteful spending, so A BIG BEAUTIFUL ACT of legislation was passed to remedy that in order to bolster the economy of the greatest nation in the world. -Jacob Lassiter

JACK KIRBY DID A 'THE PRISONER' COMIC?
I always thought patrick mcgoohan had the perfect likeness of a jack kirby drawing. Thats insane.
I'm tired of being expected to curtail everything I say and do and having all the media I interact with curtailed because of other people's fucking kids, quite frankly. What the fuck do these people think being a parent IS?

I tried to buy a game at GameStop and was told the display cases only show what games they might have, not what games are in stock. I asked them if they have all the Funkos in the their display of Funkos and the guy said "most of them!"
I don't know what GameStop does anymore.
Looking for some writing gig work. If anyone has any leads, I would be grateful.
My job was recently terminated, so in need of something to help me get through til another job lines up, or I get published.
We're at a point where there are no cheap options to retreat to and no price points that guarantee quality. Every run-down studio is $1400, every fast food meal is $17, every luxury condo has peel-n-stick tiles, every $300 pair of boots falls apart. Endless expensive mediocrity.

On NJ Transit on the way home and the train just died.
Just another day/reminder of how βthe richest and most powerful nation in the worldβ cannot do mass transit.
We can afford a war and build concentration camps, but not mass transit.
Especially disheartening is the others in the meeting were Metafilter people. Argh.

Everything is difficulties today. There is no respite. Challenges and obstacles abound.
Eggman in the 16-bit gamed didn't seem to me like he had a character design that was coded "evil" anyway. I liked the early concept drawings, when he was pitched as a protagonist, that made him more of a jolly figure.

hello beeflings. some unpleasant news:
Biscuit is acting odd and is making noises when she breathes. We need to take her to the vet but due to our expensive our bills are ($500 electric π’), we are a bit broke. IF you can or are willing, would you consider donating to help us take her to the vet?
