Don't Buy Starbucks! At any location, today and beyond, while workers are on ULP strike!

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.

Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems... SIMON: What? SHAPIRO: ...Or saying... SIMON: You imagine that? SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over. SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level. SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this. SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

Can I just say how fucking ridiculous it is that queer and nsfw art is more heavily regulated than the fucking plagiarism machine destroying our planet that is genAI

game of thrones was a great series my favourite part of the sex assault scenes they put in every episode was when the characters would look at the camera and say “we’re consenting actors, don’t do sex assaults in real life”

my work would probably fire and/or sue me if I started making “days since I found bad/outdated product on the shelves as a result of my coworkers’ laziness/negligence” posts here. but damn am I still tempted.

Dennis looking into the camera with a wistful expression. His head is framed by a TV, behind him are swinging sharp objects, the TV is covered in blood. The rest of his body is drawn in warmer colour, there are reviews around him praising him and eyes watching him.

oh hey this is my 69th post #nice

it is done

made the mistake of putting my liked songs playlist on shuffle. a song off razia’s shadow came on, which means I obviously HAVE to listen to the entire album again. I have no choice!

Two dogs, one black-and-gray and one brown, face the camera. They are on a grass lawn.

the lettuce fiends in question:

whenever I eat a salad I pick out the pieces I don’t want (wilted, too much stalk, etc.) and drop them for my dogs, and you would think I was tossing down rotisserie chicken with the way they react. those boys sure do love lettuce (for some reason).

I second the recommendations for The White Vault and The Silt Verses! Those are two of the best horror podcasts out there (alongside TMA, Malevolent, etc.), in my humble opinion.

The worst part about writing is the part where you have to come up with things.

Wait, no, it's the part where you have to write those things down.

Wait, no, it's the part where those things have to be good.

Wait, no -
