The union representing the musicians from Jimmy Kimmel’s band releases a statement calling the FCC’s pressure on Disney “state censorship.”

Hopefully the diy remedies work! Don't forget to hydrate too. I've done the calling in with vets several times, basically call ahead and ask what to do or what signs to watch for that would necessitate coming in, or they say to come in now and I'm like oop okay lol

Unfortunately, the truth is that wage theft has been identified as the largest type of theft in the United States. It is responsible for roughly 3 times as much economic loss as other types of theft combined. According to a report from the National Employment Law Project, in 2019 approximately $9.27 billion in wages was stolen from workers who earned less than $13 an hour. So, while people often worry about things like auto theft, bank robberies, shoplifting, and home burglaries, the truth is that wage theft affects far more people than these more well-known crimes.

It's weird how when people talk about crime being out of control they never talk about wage theft, which accounts for more than three times the amount lost in all other kinds of theft combined, robbery, burglary, auto theft, shoplifting....all of it. Combined.

Personally I would call urgent care/whatever the equivalent is to get medical advice by phone and see whether they recommend coming in

Maybe we could find out.

So, the u.s. border patrol trespassed into Canadian territory and kidnapped a Canadian citizen. That’s a hostile act by a foreign country. PM Carney should demand that the u.s. patrol officers be extradited to Canada to face charges.

Lallemand said he borrowed his friend’s boat and was fishing near Venise-en-Québec, which is roughly 15 kilometres north of the U.S. border at the northern tip of Lake Champlain. He says he has been fishing for decades and is adamant that he was in Canadian waters when the Coast Guard showed up and told him to turn off his engine, to which he complied. The three officers told him he was in U.S. territory. “I said, ‘No, I’m very sorry, I’m in Canada.’ And I said I’m polite enough to talk to you guys but you cannot arrest me. ‘You can’t come across the border and pick me up’ but they did,” he recalled. Lallemand started his engine and said he wanted to talk with the officers by the shore, but the Coast Guard followed and tried to push him into the U.S., which is what caused him to go overboard. “They’re tying my boat to their boat. They’re not even taking care of me. The third time I went down, coming out with water in my mouth, spitting it out, I said throw me a buoy,” he said. Once on their vessel, he said he was aggressively put in handcuffs. “I never saw somebody so angry,” he said. He was then handed over to U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers, who fingerprinted him, put him in a jail cell with his clothes soaking wet, and gave him a “dirty” blanket.

A Quebec fisherman who was fishing 15 kilometers north of the US border was essentially kidnapped by US Border Patrol, who capsized his boat and dragged him to an American prison cell.

In any normal time this'd be quite the international incident, y'know?

Working on a sterling silver pendant necklace today, inspired by the Europa Clipper spacecraft's vault plate #WaterWords 🌊

The engraving depicts the waveforms of the spoken word "water" in 103 different languages 🤯

"Sometimes I'm tempted to enjoy myself. Fortunately, AI is here to remove all fun from life!"

Some people simply don't seem to grasp that watching/reading/listening is the entire point. They don't understand why you'd watch a full episode of a murder mystery if you can just skip to the end.

The next Mayor of New York City, the Sickos Guy, the man responsibility for all of this

FOLKS

"hit by fish" significantly undersells the screaming hilarity here

"GOOD FUCKING RIDDANCE"

whenever i encounter people who say they can't understand shakespeare verses I always send them this clip from the 2019 Shakespeare in the Park production of Much Ado About Nothing

I have a few but I've only tried one so far, the murals of flavor blend. I need to experiment more! But all I did was dump it on some chicken and it made it taste like a meal 👌

This is literally a direct quote from over the top villain Jafar in Disney's Aladdin lmfao

Saying dumbass shit like this should trigger an instant release of all your company’s patents.

We watched people standing in line for 8-10 hours to vote in Georgia, so they made it illegal to give them water. They called in bomb threats to majority Black polling places. They did everything they could to suppress the vote.

And then folks are out here like, "well Georgia voted for this lol"

But (and I think @doriantaylor.com gets credit for this phrasing) they are not on the cutting edge of technology, they are retail users of a tool marketed as "doing all of the work for you."

And nothing makes them more furious than having that reality pointed out.

There's a really good @juliusgoat.bsky.social piece about this - that what supremacists crave most is not being perceived as the kind of person who does the thing that they do.

The parallels with prompt goblins should be apparent. The thing they want most is to be seen as producers, not consumers.

While there is a lot to say about this image, the thing that stands out to me the most - what IMO makes genAI a specifically right wing phenomenon - is the craving for approval. It is not enough to be able to generate robot lingerie warrior lady. They NEED to also be praised for doing it.

the shift from “I never thought leopards would eat MY face” to “eat my face harder leopard daddy” must be studied

This is high art

Do they WANT people to violently rise up against them? Because goddamn, they might want to remember that some people run out of ones and zeros between paychecks, and they will in fact miss having it.
