'content creator' especially is a very bleak piece of corporate-speak that nobody should identify with. I used it for myself sometimes, years ago, and it was because I didn't have the confidence to call myself a writer. we cannot let ourselves call art 'content', we just can't

What's crazy is that Platner could easily go on a whole "I'm sorry I was a moron" tour and make a big show of, like, idk, getting the Hitler tat removed - and it would probably work! But he's just getting defensive over it and doubling down. Clown shit

A fun byproduct of unitary executive theory—if the president controls everyone under him, he can demand they transfer hundreds of millions in tax dollars into his bank account

The New York Times @nytimes.com · 4h

Breaking News: President Trump wants $230 million from the Justice Department for investigating him, people familiar with the matter say. Any settlement might ultimately be approved by senior department officials who defended him or those in his orbit. nyti.ms/4hmIi5X

I think once Mamdani is formally the winner of this race people will be more willing to admit it, but the truth is that the real issue isn't the lack of endorsement from Schumer and Jeffries, it's that Schumers, Jeffries, and everyone else has made racially charged unfulfillable demands of Mamdani.

Emissary Of Night | ليلى @diplomatofnight.com · 2d

I do think however it is also simultaneously true that Mamdani has managed to acquire the support of the bulk of the Democratic establishment. This was done in spite of, though, the endemic Islamophobia and racial animosity towards nonwhite politicians sympathetic to Palestinians.

A 4-panel comic. I'm at the post office. I hand a letter to the clerk at the counter saying "Hi, I'd like to mail this." He reads on my enveloppe: "IRELAND. Is that international?" The fourth panel is empty is just says "I don't even need a fourth panel for this"

I love Guillermo del Toro calling ages 19 to 29 "sublime confusion"

The full quote: "I think the sublime confusion is from nineteen to twenty-nine. You think you are late for everything, you're a has been, nothing is happening, there's no opportunity for you, the world is closed, everything is a disaster, you wanna die. And then you're thirty. "
"You young people are in the exact age of desperation. I never felt more done and old than in my twenties. I'd say 'life has passed me and I did nothing.' But I'm here to tell you that's not true: you have a lot of fucking time."

> “found a solution” didn’t mean what people thought it did. People imagined that the system had discovered original solutions to “open problems” All that really happened is that GPT-5 (oversimplifying slightly) crawled the web for solutions to already-solved problems.

Seeing many posts about how ICE isn't trained. That's not really the problem. The problem is what they were sent to do, not whether they're qualified to do it.
