the Malazan Book of the Fallen (abridged):
Just to let y’all know, I’m still doing a live watch of Sinners this Sunday (the 15th) at 7:00pm EST
I just haven’t been able to promote it because *motions around*
I’m going with #SinnersWatch as the official tag, but please feel free to post under others like #SinnersParty & #SinnersDinner.
fundamentally a big part of growing up is realizing there’s nothing special about being an asshole
it doesn’t make you superior, it just makes people not want to spend time around you because you suck
There’s nothing more obnoxious than when people celebrate being an asshole or “just saying what everyone’s thinking”
Yeah, dude, most people have edgy thoughts, and learn to keep them inside. It’s called control. What you’re doing is like being really proud of constantly shitting yourself.
Yes! Yes! Yes!
Aht… Aht… y'all don't belong there either.
Go to Europe.
Living in Scandinavia, I find myself morbidly fascinated by American progressives' inability to understand—or acknowledge—that the secret to a healthy, functioning welfare state is broad middle-class buy-in. Everyone pays something—some more than others; everyone gets something—some more than others
BREAKING: Exactly one year since she was detained, an immigration judge has just ordered the release of Leqaa Kordia — the last Columbia protestor still in ICE detention.
DHS has kept her, despite a magistrate judge recommending her release and an immigration judge already *twice* ordering so.
Declaring that no quarter will be given unequivocally violates international humanitarian law. Indeed, ordering that no quarter will be given, threatening an adversary therewith or conducting hostilities on this basis is prohibited and constitutes a war crime.
Your daily horoscope:
Today you will feel hazy and indistinct, like a ghost lost in the fog.
It hasn’t happened today.
But my holiday bonus just got deposited this morning so I bought some shooooooes!!!
My ELEMENTARY school made sure we knew that they didn’t care if we remembered The Witch of Blackbird Pond in 30 years, it was about LEARNING TO GATHER AND ASSES DATA!!
AI is dumb people’s idea of what smart people do.
I know how much a PhD costs.
Why the fuck would someone spend that much if they're not learning anything?
What's the point? Do AI enthusiasts not understand that this entire idea invalidates the notion of higher education? Why would I trust someone who used AI to get through school to do anything?
fuck this so much
we are so not prepared for the mountain of dogshit “scholarship” about to flood journals everywhere

The school district has a contract with Thomson Reuters Clear and uses the system for residency verification. The school flagged this woman even though she lives in the district.
Tell me again how license plate readers will only be used for serious crimes.
Operation Epic Fury is a stupid name but also an obvious fumble because it's so easy for the haters (me) to insult them by calling it Operation Epic Fail. it's like naming your kid Holden Cox and sending them to public school
probably it’s naive at this point but it feels like war crimes should mean something and be punishable!!!!!
chat, what happens if plastic prices spike in a society that has eliminated every packaging and storage option except plastic?
I doubt he even knows what it means, honestly.
Which does not remotely excuse it, it just speaks to what a complete cosplayer this dude is
Just straight up state-sanctioned terrorism.
The good news is Amazon's distribution dept is reportedly pulling all its gas vans off the road "to prepare for Prime Day" and not at all bc oil prices are about to obliterate their core business model so there will be plenty of spare Sprinter vans to fill up with all those dead Marines
If the NYTimes says JROTC instructor abuse of high school kids is "pervasive" you know it has to be bad
No it's fine that we basically have mini military bases in like all the public high schools in the nation run by people who abuse the American kids getting manipulated into growing up to abuse kids from other countries
