every trans person i see post about the OU suspension knows that the suspended target is trans & a grad student, & has an innate awareness that this is about purging trans employees. every cis person i see thinks the target is a rando professor & that this is about giving conservatives good grades

a lot of people are making fun of the Assassins' Creed/Attack on Titan crossover DLC because it's a silly concept and I don't think enough people are focusing on "by completing this DLC you unlock the ability to pay for its cosmetic DLC"

Going to build a sci-fi religion around this dog, who is clearly the reincarnation of a galactic emperor.
Some of those dogs at the dog show are just obscene abominations unto the lord.

I know all the various defenses of piracy, and can agree with some of them (preservation is important!) but when it comes to books, there really ain't any excuse I buy. More than any other medium, authors directly rely on royalties from purchases. Every purchase gets them income, even from big pubs.
Do not steal books, I beg. Borrow from a library. Libraries lend e-books!
