I propose November 1st as resurgence day. Halloween ends, and we all pick up the phones again. MasterCard and Visa, bare minimum, once per day. Every day. All of us. They are only hiring the usual number of holiday workers, this would frighten credit card companies. “It’s not going away”
A source familiar w/ internal workings at MasterCard notes the company does not plan to recruit additional call center workers for the Christmas season, as MasterCard does not expect higher call volume than usual. A resurgence of calls re censorship during the busy season would be huge strategically

Very sad news. I knew Rob back in my days in Milwaukee. Super nerd. Very kind guy.
Gutted to hear about the passing of @robowieland.bsky.social today.
He wrote games, wrote about games, and was a smart, passionate advocate for the TTRPG hobby. Gone too young.

In small town Wisconsin, we had a teacher who it was said (later proved in court) was being directly profiled and stalked by he police.
He was black (Tortugan) married to a white teacher. As high schoolers most thought it was “over-reacting.” He was a loud, mouthy leftist.

Everything the mainstream media considers a "radical left-wing belief" is a compromise position. The actual radical beliefs are things we can't discuss because they're too far outside the Overton Window for most people to understand.

I like Jimmy Kimmel. I really do. I have no issues with him.
I'm talking about something very different.
Kimmel was only suspended. But he's back now. Karen Attiah and all the other Black journalists are still fired.

These people are so unserious AND are clearly being punished into this line of reaction.
NO ONE (and please feel free to find me a case that says otherwise) was punished in this same way for absolutely going bananas excited when Kissinger died. No one.
This is what literal censorship looks like.
