Bellingcat put out a great article a while back on limiting self-harm from exposure to traumatic media. No specific examples are given and the article appears to have been written with trigger avoidance in mind, so it should be safe reading for everyone. www.bellingcat.com/resources/20...

The best thing this guy could do for the world is to provide sustenance for a school of cookiecutter sharks.

you can't automate prototyping because you can't automate design because you can't automate invention

prototyping isn't about *the prototype*, it's about the shit you have to go through to create a prototype that works

Going to be interesting to see if Flavio tries any bullshit like his dad did, or if he leaves the mayors, etc. who tried to help him swing in the wind. ...and if he does try a repeat, might we see father-son Bolsonaro jailbirds?

get in, no time to explain

It’s incredible the things you don’t realize are sacred until you can no longer rely on them

This is gonna be a "What happened to Kim Campbell post '93 election?"-level Canadian political trivia question.

So... with the BC Cons having been voted in as a headless homunculus, does this mean the party's about to net a shitload of cash selling new memberships for the now de-facto runoff round? BC elections going pay-to-play sure is, uh, something.

Just to throw an update here: Costco carries Solensia at $55/vial (which is a monthly dose for us) versus $130 from the vet. Costco can in fact order pet medications! Always check!

your proposal is acceptable to me

i like this theory: if you don't stimulate your NDs you get revolutionaries, if you do you get bureaucrats

it sounds kind of ridiculous but i think you can make a not entirely facetious case that 1) the industrial revolution and therefore ~modernity is downstream of mass-market stimulants (tea, then tobacco and coffee) and 2) a key impact of stimulants is their effect on specifically certain ND types

Brad Lander is one of the most humane and decent people out there in American politics right now. And he’s a bulwark against genuinely radical anti-Israel politics in the US right now. And still, the Israeli government hates him. They’re writing off a whole generation of non-Orthodox American Jews.

Wish someone would release patches for my vulnerabilities

Wait, @dov deactivated again? Ah, goddammit.

oh consoles are DEAD dead

With the election looming, the GOP is calling in the big guns. Which means having a megachurch freak named Timmy dispatch an army of walleyed 23yo home-school casualties with YouTube diction to opposing candidates' rallies, where they will demand those candidates reject and denounce the WNBA.

Huge follow-up reporting to my scoop: The Guardian confirmed America Next—the conservative nonprofit founded by Bobby Jindal that was offering students $ to disrupt El-Sayed events—paid a firm registered to Tommy Teepell’s dad Timmy $250k for “canvassing and influencer marketing” against El-Sayed.

I understand that they need to talk to supporters on both sides of the separatist issue because otherwise Pierre Poilievre and his five supporters will January 6th the CBC building, but the lack of pushback on separatists' arguments as to why poor lil Alberta deserves righteous justice is maddening

This shit is so cool. They took away being able to afford computers for this shit.

Free newsletter: I estimate that ~50% of AI chip sales - $200bn to $300bn+ - are sitting in warehouses, with NVIDIA selling hundreds of billions of GPUs years in advance. Data centers take way longer to build than hyperscalers are leading us to believe. www.wheresyoured.at/wherere-all-the-ai-chips/

Man, I hate it when this happens.

rare non-shitpost from your pal ceej: if you self-host plex you’re gonna wanna update asap. crypto miner malware started hitting installs yesterday, it got me and I’m usually pretty up on this stuff

“Playing at bigotry creates an environment for it, whatever our intentions may be.”

It's disheartening to see the largest publications in the nation not cite original reporting from independent/individual reporters. Not one mention of @marisakabas.bsky.social's work in ID'ing Tommy. Instead, the WSJ implies that Tommy came forward himself. Disingenuous, at best.

“The internet is a store but it used to be a library” hits me like a slug to the chest

the second el-sayed chose to treat tommy as an equal and not a nuisance, tommy was cooked
