The Washington Post Is Using Reader Data to Set Subscription Prices. How Does That Work? - Washingtonian If recent events have not compelled you to cancel your Washington Post subscription, then you might have been in for sticker shock at the dawn of your latest billing cycle. Many readers have been…

Many Washington Post readers have been notified via email that their subscription rates are set to increase. Nestled at the bottom of these emails, you’ll find an asterisk and the following: “This price was set by an algorithm using your personal data.”

The truth can be harsh. That doesn’t mean that anything harsh is the truth.

Absolute Queen behavior from the Zamboni Rider today at the Minnesota Frost game.
No ICE
No War
No Kings

No Fear.

BuzzFeed Nearing Bankruptcy After Disastrous Turn Toward AI Three years after its pivot to AI, the writing is on the wall for BuzzFeed. The company said there's "substantial doubt" it can keep going.

Self-own of the decade: BuzzFeed pivots toward AI slop, loses everything.

Contempt for others leads to immolation of the self

Ugh.

*Ahem*
Folks...

Please enjoy the slow mo snow.

On this year’s long covid awareness day, I want more people to read and think about what the late Shafiqah Hudson said before it killed her. Because she was right, as usual, and also early, as usual. Perhaps too early for a lot of people to listen.

I like doing button-up tunic dresses as wrappers for my t-shirts anc leggings just to dress them up slightly.

i love that Chet looks like one of the default selections from Fallout 1

Now That's What I Call #Fallout Textposts Volume 33

#Fallout Chet ".... and worse... she's CANADIAN!!" 🤣🤣🤣 This show kills me

Furious it's 1am I need to keep watching Fallout to make sure the human golden retriever Chet doesn't get in any worse trouble than the trouble he's in on account of being a human golden retriever. I love that blesséd himbo

More interesting trivia - the first foreign series broadcast in Ukraine was a Mexican telenovela. Zelenskyy has referenced this in an interview with Mexican journalists.

BONG BONG BONG BONG BONG BONG BONG BONG BONG

Proof that we are, indeed, living in Hell.

It’s not a coincidence that the things that happen to families targeted by ICE are the same things that can happen to pregnant ppl who need to seek medical care from another state bc authoritarian politicians criminalized health care.

Tools of fascism will come for all of us.

Let there be as much outrage from politicians in Washington when kids go hungry as there is when I break bread with New Yorkers.

This is an example of how state laws protect physical, print newspapers (which have lobbyists who advocate for them, and them alone, in Olympia) and not the overwhelming majority of modern news outlets, which are online. The Internet is not new, and we should all be in this together.

I don't know the original poster Celeste was responding to, but I will also point out that a lot of those fancy sprayed edges are going on books by women, targeting female readers, and while I have VERY COMPLEX feelings about endless special editions.... some disdain has that whiff of misogyny.

FSOG brought in THOUSANDS UPON THOUSANDS of new readers. The Beyond series in particular got a pretty big boost from this, which meant I had so many readers coming into our group who had 15 favorite indie authors of erotic romance but were asking, "Who is Nora Roberts?"

Brand new readers.

Ooo. Gas is expensive in Louisiana where usually it is not. The regime clearly had no plan beyond “blow shit up” and “kill and traumatize civilians.”

Dark money group offers influencers $1,500 for posts attacking Chicago Democratic primary candidate Progressive House candidate Kat Abughazaleh told MS NOW the secretive campaign is “filled with false and defamatory claims.”

This whole dark money campaign going after @katmabu.bsky.social is fucked AND ALSO the attempts to recruit out-of-state influencers really intrigue me; influencer culture is having a flattening effect on geography with really big stakes for races getting national attention.

This is hard to watch.

ICE and Police are still stirring up shit. Now in Vermont, they threw small women around, shot pepper balls willy-nilly, tossed flash grenades, smoke bombs, and even ran over protesters with SUVs, parking on them, and then just drove the fuck on.

I hope she and her baby are okay but my gosh, please do think things through and extend more compassion to people. Did you want your life disrupted, uprooted, family potentially torn apart, unjustly charged and incarcerated? No?

Don’t vote that way.

> you need to get the hell out of that state quietly (and also not out your doctor for advising you thusly) and give birth elsewhere.

Because if it’s a crime in your state, you can be charged when you come back. And you probably wouldn’t be able to come back.

This reel shows ä scared woman who is upset she was misled about late term abortion now that she might need one.

I agree with Mercedes overall that it’s frustrating folks don’t believe until they need to …

But also DO NOT MAKE VIDEOS if this is you…>

And it wasn’t because of the campaign itself—it was because the man who responded to my upset letter was mansplaining to me about how I didn’t get the joke about soap scum.
