There's a quote in here from my Buzzfeed essay that says as much, but I really do blame mass media for this the most. Why are you having guests on your talk show explaining "Gen Z slang" when a 5 sec Google search would immediately call their "expertise" into question. DO YOUR DAMN JOB.
There's a setting called "God Mode" that helps a lot, if you're like me and suck at real-time action games

I'm not even sure I believed this till just now, but... "Bad guys suffering no consequences is a basic law of the universe and wanting it to be challenged in fiction is the height of immaturity" ...
Does sound a lot like right-wing propaganda, doesn't it?
Reading this made me think about the Paramount/Warner Bros merger. We all seem to agree it'll be used to restrict our imaginations and launder right-wing propaganda, but somehow criticizing a landscape full of antiheroes and nothing else is "puritanical." It's interesting.
gorgeous! love the detail in her braids
They're deactivating it tomorrow, but I recognize it's a violation either way 💔
Bullying works!
The screenshotted list is what comes up when the content mentions "Mikki Kendall" multiple times and I specifically asked the bot to suggest experts in "contemporary feminist history"
So, to offer more context: When you click "Expert Review" in Grammarly, it feeds your content through an AI and chooses experts based on the subject matter. There's also a prompt at the bottom of the tab that allows you to add additional experts based on specific topics.
Feels like they're signaling to each other who is the most "loyal" to Trump. First one who gives in isn't a true believer

This week, the Transgender Healthcare page added 7 new items to the timeline. These include multiple cancellations of gender-affirming care and new policies from the DOJ mandating the forced detransition of inmates. Grim stuff.
It does not matter what the character limit is because I will always run up against it

I hate the obligatory baby in the epilogue, especially if the epilogue happens within months of the main story ending. It's lazy! Get a hobby and go find yourself first!
