“I will NOT sacrifice the Oxford comma. We've made too many compromises already; too many retreats. They assimilate the em dash and we fall back. They capture ‘not just X but y’ and we fall back. Not again. The line must be drawn here! This far, no further!”

This reminded me: the game text for PIG AT A WEDDING is now out of Simon & Schuster's license period. So I'm going to release it for free later this month and you can ALL unleash pigs at EVERYONE'S weddings

Titus the Large Treasure. When he came to us, Titus was a 9-month, 3.9kg pest. Now, he is a 12 month 5.8kg treasure. He is fixed vaccinated and chipped. He loves to play with his foster brothers, trill his little songs, & cuddle on any available lap.

How TikTok 2.0 Became a Weapon for ICE In just one week, the company has gone from being Gen Z’s preferred social media platform to a tool for spying on Americans and the suppression of information.

"TikTok’s Terms of Service now explicitly include tracking of location and citizenship status (among other identity markers, such as sex)." newrepublic.com/article/2059...

Call it what it is, @nbcnews.com. Concentration camp.
Every time.

The OED defines a concentration camp as “a camp in which large numbers of people, esp. political prisoners or members of persecuted minorities, are deliberately imprisoned in a relatively small area with inadequate facilities.”
👀

production of The Muppet Show should not be dependent on petty vulgarities like “ratings” or “revenue.” it should be preserved as a vital function of american culture. it should have a taxpayer-funded budget rivaling the CIA

A three panel meme taken from hocus pocus featuring two men. Both are Caucasian, the one on the left has long blond hair and wearing a leather jacket the one on the right is shorter with a brown jacket and a hat. The first panel shows the blond one pointing to the other person saying "this is gestapo" The second panel has the shorter man with a brown jacket pulls the blond down and says "How many times I gotta tell you? It ain't "Gestapo" anymore" The final panel has the blond man pointing to the other man's head as he has turned around to show the world ICE shaved into it as he says "This is ICE."

Yeah this made me guffaw

Please be careful out there. They are shooting to injure and kill out there

It is frightening how they use these "less lethal" weapons in such a poor way that they will kill, blind, maim and harm

Naming a police officer is not doxxing. We aren’t supposed to have secret police in America.

I'm a regular guy, I put my trousers on the same way as everyone else: falling into them through a hole in the ceiling via a contraction operated by my long suffering dog

Whew, a word: “This is about a sort of learned helplessness that has somehow become socially acceptable, even quirky and endearing in some circles — a professional skill gap that wouldn’t be tolerated in any other field.”

"I spoke to one 80-year-old woman who has been in our organisation for decades, who said it was one of the greatest experiences of her life, and the only place in her 80 years where she’s been treated as a woman with respect.”

What does this do for women's rights?

The Salvation Army is not a charity. They are an evangelical church that uses donated money to actively oppress gay rights. They've been especially cruel to trans people.

It's that giving time of year again, so this is a reminder that no matter how they try to dress it up, the Salvation Army is not a charity.

Obviously this is impossible because Alan Moore looks like he's genetically a wizard, it's simply impossible to imagine what he would look like as a schoolboy oh there he is.

I spent Dragonmeet going to seminars, exploring the trade hall and catching up with amazing people, so it was a great time! But I'm thinking of how to make it EVEN BETTER next year. I want to play some games, even run some games eventually. And I would love to be part of the Podcast Zone one day!

"Long time fans are unhappy about [thing that is not a Hasbro business decision or the 2024 rules]"

"How [thing that is not a Hasbro business decision or the 2024 rules] ruined Dungeons & Dragons"

You've never spoken to a D&D fan in your life, Telegraph.

This is lore-accurate. Clerics are only proficient with bludgeoning weapons.

I already miss Dragonmeet 😭

Update November 22. We’ve updated this article after realising we contributed to a perfect storm of misunderstanding around a recent change in the wording and placement of Gmail’s smart features. The settings themselves aren’t new, but the way Google recently rewrote and surfaced them led a lot of people (including us) to believe Gmail content might be used to train Google’s AI models, and that users were being opted in automatically. After taking a closer look at Google’s documentation and reviewing other reporting, that doesn’t appear to be the case. Gmail does scan email content to power its own “smart features,” such as spam filtering, categorisation, and writing suggestions. But this is part of how Gmail normally works and isn’t the same as training Google’s generative AI models. Google also maintains that these feature settings are opt-in rather than opt-out, although users’ experiences seem to vary depending on when and how the new wording appeared. It’s easy to see where the confusion came from. Google’s updated language around “smart features” is vague, and the term “smart” often implies AI—especially at a time when Gemini is being integrated into other parts of Google’s products. When the new wording started appearing for some users without much explanation, many assumed it signalled a broader shift. We’ve revised this article to reflect what we can confirm from Google’s documentation, as it’s always been our aim to give readers accurate, helpful guidance.

If you have been sharing that Malwarebytes article on the Gmail thing, you should note the giant correction up top.
