Proud papa moment: my son J published a letter in the @nytimes.com today (in print tomorrow) on the need to think our definitions of autism.
Even with cold butch and chaos disaster girlfriends and ab witch mommy, I think Scylla and the Sirens are still somehow my fave characters of Hades 2. And then they finally introduce a new song to get stuck in your head too
Never thought I'd see the day when my mom attended a protest and sent me the pics

Yeah, I watched it because I kept hearing how good it was and while I liked it initially, each episode just kept getting more and more disturbingly and openly misogynistic and by the end I was hate watching. Feminist is such a useless label in general, but this one is the furthest from even that bar

Living in the Future benefit: the combination of Google Maps public transit directions and phone-tap onboard payment makes it SO EASY to take public trams/buses/metros when traveling now. It’s fantastic not to have to resort to taxis just for lack of easy access to the local transit ticketing system

"ending remote work" is such a terrible, hostile, anti-worker thing that so many organizations have decided they need to do in order to subjugate their workforce further, and I pray it marks the beginning of a new and robust labor movement. senseless cruelty
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.

Paypal is now playing harder ball on artists, going after anyone even mentioning commissions.

Artists, send invoices. That way, no one has to say what the money is for on Paypal's paper trail.

Customers, SAY NOTHING about commissions. Just say "thanks" on donos.

Everyone: INCREASE THE CALLS.

The use of AI to marionette a woman whose tortured existence was spent trying to carve her own life and identity out of the space men forced her into is both damningly macabre and a surprisingly perfect encapsulation of the problems with this ghoulish use of technology.

Long story short, an actual Nazi doxxing ring. Enough people reported them that they went away for like 12 hours and then Elon personally brought them back. The site is dead. If you’re still on there, go lock your account right now
what even happened on the other site this time

It's worth reiterating that independent creators are getting debanked for the same content
Sam Altman suggests ChatGPT is cannibalizing your fanfic and erotica to make its own clanker porn, rolling out this December.

Yeah, not in that industry myself, but very adjacent to it in my field, but animation has been hemorrhaging for many many years and is in a very bad state in North America. And that's the 3D side I can see, traditional animation even worse off

Everyone would joke, "a hunter must have caught him," but it was half-serious.

Hunters had caught kids before. Around 1989 a hunter was convicted of murder for killing a teenager and burying him in the woods. Later, a group was found to have tortured a kid they found
