Not fleeing: New report shows more wealthy residents in Mass., 2 years into 'millionaire's tax' Despite previous concerns, Massachusetts' "millionaire's tax" hasn't seemed to deter high-earners from continuing to live here, according to a new study from the Institute for Policy Studies.

1. The extra marginal tax rate will affect millionaires' daily lives almost not at all, which is why in reality none of them would leave the state.

2. When you have this much money, your accountant/financial folks are already making you as tax efficient as possible.

The rate at which this country has become openly fascist is alarming. We all knew it was bubbling but it feels like boiling point has happened so quickly I loathe to log online and see more vile things this rat country is doing.

UK pornography taskforce to propose banning ‘barely legal’ content after Channel 4 documentary airs Programme about performer Bonnie Blue condemned for ‘glamorising and normalising’ extreme pornography

Remember that when governemnts talk about criminalizing "barely legal" or "extreme" pornography, they are talking about criminalizing legal, consensual sexual activity between two adults, using phrases with no discernable legal meaning.

I can't stress how dangerous this is.

Straczynski expressed the highest regard for Trias and ABC, but he said that he believes "network paranoia" has led them to use Q5. "It is a truly insidious organization, I make no bones about it at all. A lot of their research and theories are strictly from voodoo, Straczynski continued. "I think they reinforce stereotypes--sexist and racist. I think they are not helping television, they are diminishing it."

In addition to Janine's new look, described in notes on one DIC character drawing as "generally less harsh & "slutty," she will have a warmer, more nurturing relationship with Slimer, a childlike comic character who sometimes dissolves into slime.

The show also will contain less satire and less subtle, sophisticated verbal humor. "I've written a few shows for this season, and they weren't as much fun as last season," lamented "Real Ghostbusters" writer Michael Reaves. As one of numerous examples of this change, the Q5 report notes that some jokes that writers had included about college days and "no intelligent life in New Jersey" would go over the heads of young children. A phrase such as "create the proper ambiance," the report suggests, could be phrased more simply: "Make this room look like a little boy's.

A remarkable 1987 article about “Q5”, a consultancy that, i’ve now learned, seems singularly responsible for the mass bland-izing of cartoons when i was a kid. I remember the sudden and mysterious Jeanine swap-out in The Real Ghostbusters! this explains so much.

I wish it was just a failure, because that could be corrected. This was a collaborative fraud between political parties and media outlets that agree cruelty to immigrants should be one of only very few moving, variable parts of democratic politics.

james mcavoy was phenomenal in the pretty good syfy miniseries "children of dune," i'm like whoa, he outshone a cast that included alice krige and susan sarandon

Imagine if Democrats had run on this instead of "we also hate trans people" 😩

*yelling this on repeat until my voice gives out* we have empirical evidence! Rich people swore they'd leave MA if we passed the Fair Share amendment, but we have more millionaires now than before it was enacted!

This is what fighting back looks like. I can't believe I have to hand it to Hochul, but here we are.

We think of the White House as a big mansion, but the point is it's not a palace. It's a house. It's modest, one of the smallest residences for a head of state. The east and west wings are deliberately minimal and unobtrusive. It's not Versailles or Buckingham. It symbolizes civic republicanism.

I long believed that gambling should be made entirely legal, that the profits should be brought into the legitimate world and taxed, & now, with even more data I further conclude: fuck that I was wrong. Make gambling illegal again. Let the mob have gambling, it was better that way

It was driving me nuts and then I figured it out.

the first time i watched Star Trek with my 6-year-old he said the USS Enterprise was covered in "ghost oil" and i was like um those are deflector shields dipshit

A big wide angle view of a pasture that is hopelessly empty and boring except for a small cow at a small table with tools on it in the middle of the bottom of the frame. The cow, table, tools, and barn behind it are a consistent art style, while the added silos, landscape, and clouds surrounding the tiny focus of the image appear to be a slightly different and worse art style.

finally got my tickets to see cow tools at the sphere

The AI bubble is so big it's propping up the US economy (for now) Plus how American professors are fighting back against the AI onslaught, a backlash over AI models in Vogue, and more.

Analysts show that capital expenditures on AI were so big over the last 6 months they added more to the GDP than *all consumer spending*. That growth is offsetting pain from the tariffs and slow job growth.

So the AI bubble may be propping up the whole US economy. What happens if and when it pops?

Mass Die-Off of Western Monarch Butterflies Linked to Pesticides, Study Finds - EcoWatch A new peer-reviewed study has linked pesticides as a likely cause to a mass die-off of Western monarch butterflies that occurred in 2024.

They kept telling us we needed to plant more milkweed, but ignored the fact that the butterflies were dying from insecticide

I recently joked that once criticizing Israel counted as antisemitism, soon ONLY criticizing Israel would count as antisemitism. Now my joke has come true!
