This is from 2022 but it's still true.

Seriously if you cut out all police dramas from your viewing you suddenly realize how many fewer things you can watch.

When you buy Harry Potter, you are *literally* hurting trans people and queer people. In real life. She uses that money to lobby for legislation that hurts transgender people. And she is winning! Due to the massive amounts of money that you give her.

That's funny, I could have sworn he said something about not needing Royal Navy vessels because the war was already won.

Every right-of-center regime in my lifetime has done politics by pandering to the two core principles of the American Rube: (1) things are bad because of Those People and (2) being Tough / Not Woke is the forbidden ritual magick that would Fix Everything if our weak leaders would just use it.

A really interesting realisation I've come across in my work when discussing the size and scale of extinct animals in relation to their environments is that no one knows how tall a tree is

screenshot of a dictionary definition of kakistocracy: 

government by the least suitable or competent citizens of a state.
"the danger is that this will reduce us to kakistocracy"
• a state or society governed by its least suitable or competent citizens.
plural noun: kakistocracies
"the modern regime is at once a plutocracy and a kakistocracy"

this word takes up so much space in my head that i'd rather be using for other things

I joined 121 @housedemocrats.bsky.social demanding Secretary Hegseth publicly release the results of the investigation into the strike that killed over 175 Iranian civilians — mostly elementary school girls.

Hegseth: "We will keep pushing, keep advancing. No quarter, no mercy for our enemies."

No quarter is the refusal to take prisoners and instead just execute everyone. It's been considered a war crime for over a century.

the stink of gender resentment coming off Silicon Valley has been obvious for a while. these men hate women because they hate being told no.

Grammarly Is Facing a Class Action Lawsuit Over Its AI ‘Expert Review’ Feature The feature, which Grammarly shut down Wednesday, presented editing suggestions as if they came from established authors and academics—without their consent.

I'm suing Grammarly over its paid AI feature that presented editing suggestions as if they came from me - and many other writers and journalists - without consent.

State law requires consent before someone's name can be used for commercial purposes.

Apparently this is "finishing salt." IDGAF, I like it. And now it's "finishing this relationship" salt, too.
