okay wait I thought the Mariners just had to win this one to take the series but if I'm reading this right, the number of games increases for the first 3 rounds of the postseason but not the last one? so it goes best-of-3, then best-of-5, then best-of-7, then a second best-of-7??
this is BIG news in my family groupchat, my siblings and I pretty much learned to read from Far Side and Calvin & Hobbes collections
"New Far Side comics" was definitely not on my bingo card for this week. They're not bad!

“When you have a disability people can’t see, you don’t get the same level of empathy. It feels like the world has moved on.”

It’s shameful how society is gaslighting people who are experiencing chronic illness and ignoring an ongoing public health crisis.

Long Covid is affecting hundreds of thousands of kids in America, and many doctors and schools refuse to recognize their illness.

asked a Catholic friend to explain what the fuck is going on with Opus Dei and the Chicago pope, pretty sure I've got it now
(in terms of the norms, I mean—I personally will continue to do what I want as I always have, but I don't expect anyone else to)
yeah I'm fully aware that I've lost this fight
I have read too much evolutionary psychology to endorse this kind of talk (you'd be astonished how quickly anything along these lines devolves into eugenics) but I do think the Discourse could use a little more "so what if there ARE more of us now?" in addition to the lefthandedness graph argument
but if that were true it would apply to all fanworks equally! the fact that only certain types of fanwork ~require~ permission is just blatant shitting on those types of fanwork. I think most of these asshats genuinely believe an audio performance is not transformative
I'm just baffled why it can't even be a conversation, you know? not with you specifically, I mean the norm overall—people get PISSED when I say this, like we didn't litigate all these same arguments about fanfic itself 30 years ago
this kind of distinction is so funny to me. like, why? I have always held that if transformative works themselves don't require permission from the creator, neither do transformative works of other transformative works. incredibly bizarre to me how fringe and reviled this opinion is in fandom
Works covered can include remixes, podfic, performances, translations, and fanbinding. (Fanart and fanmixes, in my experience, don’t require permission statements. Someone PLEASE let me know if that’s wrong!)
you get to choose between hockey and baseball and you're going with WHAT? I demand you change your username due to FALSE ADVERTISING
he still has an AOL email address (as of last time I heard from him in July) so he really should know his '90s lore

2. Rolling Stone is owned by a large media conglomerate, which is ending remote work across its brands.

My home is Portland, Oregon, ~1,000 miles from the nearest office, so this marks the end of the line for me at RS.
mmmm yeah, that man certainly does want attention
