What the fuck were you thinking, bringing a racist, drunk antisemite to your event?

disgusted to find out that a local con has invited Mel Gibson but not at all surprised that it's #fanexpoboston. There's a reason I don't go to for-profit conventions

3 Years After a Landmark Law, Some Pregnant Workers Still Don’t Get Basic Accommodations

Businesses like Amazon are going to keep doing whatever they can get away with and that's why people should keep suing them and why there should be punitive damages | no paywall

Composite image pairing a screenshot of the Artemis II Comms Transcript web app with a photo from NASA's mission control broadcast. The transcript shows the moment astronaut Reid Wiseman reported four confirmed meteor impact flashes on the lunar surface during the far-side eclipse, while the science team communicator on the ground reacts with visible excitement, mouth open mid-laugh, describing her colleagues at the CERB literally jumping up and down.

icymi, I made a site that archives/transcribes audio from the NASA Artemis II mission feed, was finally able to deploy it publicly last night

here's one of my favorite moments... the crew reporting meteor impact flashes on the moon (and mission control's reaction on stream)

Why Is Everyone Wicked Obsessed With This Boston Globe Reporter?

kind of a lovely story. this part tho: "I would have preferred doing broadcast journalism, but you don’t really see anybody on TV that looks like me." stop fucking airbrushing anchors and reporters and put regular people with their own accents on tv. ffs. as she says...+

I'm not saying that the reason this place falls over fucking constantly now is vibe coding and AI brain rot.

No.

Wait.

I am saying that.

I just misread that as "Ferengi coffee" and was very confused.

Science literacy rates are at an all time low

I'll be honest the main thing about the X-Files that I enjoy is how Scully has the strength of character not to punch Fox Mulder in his silly smug face

zackeryatlas 12h The degradation of society: 1. Celebrating the k!lling of a CEO 2. Cheering on warehouse arsons 3. Making heroes out of people who attempt political violence You can be outraged at the system and still not glorify violence. These aren't wins. This is a society losing its moral compass. [Coming from a liberal btw]

I don’t know how people keep forgetting that workers rights were entirely written in blood and the capital class had to be threatened with violence before they agreed to things like 8 hour working days and 2 day weekends.

You don't get the same responses about Ernest Hemingway not because he wasn't racist but because fewer people are writing fanfiction involving A FAREWELL TO ARMS, or inserting THE OLD MAN AND THE SEA into their roleplaying games. Few read Hemingway's letters & see what he said about Black people.

Since I canceled Prime, I stopped buying those "ah well, it's so cheap and free shipping!" items and, guess what, I neither wanted nor needed them in the first place! So, less clutter, less plastic junk in landfills when they inevitably break.

From Beyond because it's the best of the low-budget 80s Lovecraft adaptations, Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 because it makes a decent effort at a comic sequel to a terrifying movie, and Maximum Overdrive because it's Stephen King's dumbest best movie

If your Kickstarter video/image is AI, I won't back it.
If your book has an AI cover, I won't read it.
If you're a public supporter of AI use for creative work, I will unfollow you.
I cannot stress enough how offensive I find AI use in the arts. It is outright theft, it is lazy, it is gross.
