I sometimes wonder if I'm just an auld fella shaking my fist at clouds when I back off from modern tech, but the truth is, most big tech products are no longer built to be useful, they're built to rinse you for a minimum standard service. And even children can see this.
Why are kids getting into comics and is their timing spot on?

This is my friend's cat. Its name is Cookie Swirl, and it disappeared in the American section of Charlotte airport on 11/10. We're asking for your help. She doesn't have any other socials, so if you can post it widely to see if anyone knows where it is. It's a little thing, but matters a lot to her.

A (quite) young movie lover said to me recently, "Not everybody can afford a DVD player," and I said "How much do you think a DVD player costs?"
He said, "I don't know, like $500?"
Those of us who advocate physical media are maybe not doing the best job of messaging.

The underdiagnosis of Autistic Women is falsely attributed to us being "naturally gifted at masking". In reality, masking is a survival response to stuctural oppresion.
If ability to mask depended on sex rather than oppression, we wouldn't see higher diagnosis rates among white men than Black men.

whatever its flaws, this was the kind of thing that the Constitution was supposed to protect against; the kinds of concerns people had about the president becoming a king
This is just some ordinary dude no one had ever heard of, quietly getting by, and the administration has decided in a fit of pique to hound him for the rest of his life because otherwise they'd have to tacitly admit they're capricious incompetent villains. Just let him live, ffs

Update in case you were keeping score of Trump's failed attempts to prosecute Letitia James:
•James is 34-0 against Donald Trump.
•Trump is 0-3 against Letitia James.
He's a 34X convicted felon
She's a 3X vindicated icon
If only Merrick Garland had 1/100th the courage & integrity of Leticia James.

ultimately, no one even grieved Charlie Kirk. he was just another thing for the worst people on earth to get outraged over. and when the outrage of real events wasn't enough, they invented new ones.
not even his wife saw his death as anything other than an opportunity.

my read is they were trying to whip up the usual frenzy, but then the effort got blown up by Candace Owens saying The Jews did it
It’s kind of incredible how little has been published about this guy and how little conservatives seem to care. Did people just forget these people were screeching for civil war when they thought he was a liberal?

This should be the biggest story in the country right now. The sitting US President was extorting state lawmakers from his own party by threatening to withhold public money if they didn’t gerrymander for him.
