We asked my brother in law, who did two tours of duty in the Middle East with the Army, if he had seen yesterday’s video and he said “If I had done that in Afghanistan it would have literally and legally been a war crime.”

You don’t know your role yet maybe, but we are all finding out just what we have to offer.

In Minneapolis, one man knew immediately what he could offer and said “Bring me your clothing”.

The "Frieren Looking Up" Art Trend attracted some Big Names in Animation! Excited for Season 2?

Late, but I wanted to jump in on this trend. While I love Fieren, I am deeply inspired by how brave this person was! They went for the hard thing, were curious, made us all rejoice and draw together!

It makes me so happy to see folks gain that artistic curiosity!

So go forth! Rooting for you! 💖

steam is apparently allowing "this game had AI in it that it didn't disclose" as a valid return statement, so if you or anyone you know actually paid $70 for slop, get that money back

Will Smith has a reading foundation and visits public schools. Just so you know the guy who hit that game winning homer has done good things for the LAUSD
Daughter comes out of school with a brand new Dodgers hat and I ask her where she got it.

"Oh this guy Will Smith from the Dodgers read us a story at school today"

America maintained hold of the World Series Championship because we attracted the skilled and willing from abroad.

Dodgers players this year were born in Japan, the Dominican Republic, Venezuala, Cuba, and South Korea, as well as in the US (including Puerto Rico).

Let's keep America attractive.

And if you have extra HSA or FSA funds to use before 12/31, this is a great way to spend them down
Please direct people to their local Diaper Bank. They collect unused diapers (kid outgrew newborn size but you still have half a pack left etc) & menstrual hygiene products to redistribute free to those in need. Post menopause, I donated my unopened tampon boxes there. Someone can use them!

Spotify is running recruitment ads for ICE.

A platform built to connect creators and listeners is helping an authoritarian regime build up its secret police force.

But we’re not going to idly accept that. We’re going to make Spotify listen: indivisible.org/cancel-spoti... #CancelSpotify

I don't know who needs to hear this, but if you have friends struggling through the shutdown, consider inviting them over for a family dinner this week. Make too much. Insist they take leftovers home. Some folks can't say they need help out loud but will appreciate the kindness.

A lot of people are pretty freaked out by the current political state of affairs and carrying on because they don't know what else to do, except out one foot in front of the other.

And I think a lot of Very Online folks mistake that for "normie" indifference

I think its genuinely a virtue to accept that you could be wrong about anything and kill the part of yourself that needs to always be seen as correct and smarter than others on any given topic
Do you have any extremely niche, but serious, ethical stances?
