I was lost with a path out made clear; But I was trapped and couldn't make it there; With help I helped myself through fear; And now there's music daily in my mirror 👩🏼‍🚀🔆🥰 https://moonshoterin.carrd.co

I still wonder if killing off the character was tied to the original Icheb actor defending Hollywood sexpests or the original actor being a creep about the female trek leads on twitter back then.

I'm seeing a lot of people taking losses on house sales (I do home/WDO inspections) up and down the I4 Corridor and there's a lot more for-sale signs these days down here.

Yeah, it's really horrible that several of the social media sites makes it difficult to impossible to effectively block bad users & commenters.

Youtube being among the worst. Can't even mute them effectively. I can only imagine how much trouble and crap creators endure parsing that abuse

I don't disagree, I listened to it during an hour long drive. And I'm like.... It took an hour to tell that story when I figured it out its story beats in 15minutes.

I think the whole point of the current audio book is to shoehorn in the lore for the halloween stuff in the multiplayer (based on what my brother said)

They will likely move forward with it now instead of waiting for the ruling knowing a court challenge won't survive and even if it does, there's not enough time for the challenge to stop it

Weird story: Around 6 am PT today residents of a Eugene, OR apartment complex were awoken by several unmarked cars with flashing lights and two flash bangs. A witness said agents were speaking in Spanish and demanded people come out of an apartment with their hands up. Turns out the agents were FBI.

FBI conducts raid at the Woodland Creek Apartments in Eugene

The FBI confirmed agents conducted a "court-authorized law enforcement activity" in the 1300 block of Quaker Street on Oct. 15.

important note from libcrusher:

Reactivating temporarily to send a warning.
Since I got doxxed, it appears the same doxxing ring has targeted several other users. I learned that they were banned this week, only for Elon to, apparently, personally unban them. I feel obliged to warn everyone about my experience.

It wasn't just my personal information that got published. Someone, somewhere, got my passwords too. For my banking accounts, brokerage accounts, venmo, etc.
Most of which had different and unique passwords. All these attempts started the day i got doxxed, and have sporadically continued since.

If you know anyone who's been doxxed by this group, you need to have them change all their passwords on every website immediately. Ensure 2FA and any other security measures are in place everywhere.
And, wherever possible, document and report it. Frankly, if you're a lefty of any note, do it now too

If anyone was also a victim of this or knows someone who was, there are ways to reach me. I wish I could go into more details right now. But until that time comes, protect yourself.

I will be deactivating in 20 minutes.
Hopefully, that's enough time for the warning to get out.

1. Many of you have seen a graph purporting to show trans identification has decreased in recent years.

Matt Walsh and Elon Musk celebrated it as a victory over "transgenderism."

Turns out, the entire graph is based on an egregious math and statistics error.

Fact Check: No, There Is Not A New Survey Showing Trans Identity Is Decreasing

The claim, which originates from far-right professor Eric Kaufmann, appears to have made a glaring error: the survey actually shows more people have come out, not fewer.

Shocking that someone working for the Center for Heterodox Social Science can't adhere to even the most basic research methods.

Erin Reed @erininthemorning.com · 8h

11. Most reputable data analysis shows the opposite of Kaufmann’s claim: queer and trans identification continues to rise. The Gallup Poll—an industry standard in public opinion research which also uses survey weights—found that 1.3 percent of Americans now identify as transgender, up from 2023.

LGBTQ+ Identification in U.S. Rises to 9.3%

LGBTQ+ identification among U.S. adults has increased to 9.3%.

This is Chicago, armed fascist thugs pointing guns at unarmed US citizens.

Photo by Anthony Vazquez at the Chicago Sun-Times.

Armed officers in military-style gear confront a group of civilians during a tense outdoor standoff; one officer points a rifle at a young man who raises his hands defensively while others shout in the background, with trees and houses visible behind them.
