MSN was reposting a NY Post story. Would be unsurprising if, in about a decade or, there’re lawsuits alleging emotional distress, lost wages, trauma, etc., against various media outlets.

Nope.

Engagement numbers help the IPO, this in turn would put more $$ in u/spez pocket and that I will not support.

You’re lucky if the communities you have followed survived intact or unaffected. The tenor of my feed was changing for the worse before the API protests. When I left, after? It was a shithole.

Sure, there are communities that I miss, that are absent, or have weak, or hard to find presences. But the solution isn’t to go lurk and buff those engagement metrics, in my somewhat Reddit hostile opinion.

AP was light on photos, MSN doesn’t share that reluctance: https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/virginia-house-democratic-candidate-performed-sex-acts-with-husband-on-webcam-for-tips/ar-AA1gA7t7

Chaturbate is mentioned.

The roster of Republicans who signed the letter:

FL & TX ffs.

kbin.social to start with, posted in random, now another kbin. is being used, but I didn’t note the suffix.

Wait. Tucker? I thought he’d been deplatformed.

Sinema. What a joke.

Has he ever taken a lawyer’s advice, let alone paid them?

Clarkesworld Magazine and anything from Skyboat Media.

Kate Baker narrates the former, Stephen Rudniki a lot of the latter’s content and both deliver sonorous, resonant readings that are easy to nod off with.

Along the same lines, but not a podcast, McFadden narrates a docuseries on all things Trek, “The Center seat”, on Amazon currently.

Somebody had to get the ball rolling; since on this side of the pond trolling the opposition, glad handing donors and energizing our base takes precedence over existential threats of any kind.

Credit card for the rewards, paid monthly. Keep cash for tipping and small stuff.

So banning the word will eliminate the behavior?

That’s some epic magnitude magical thinking there, for damn sure.

Cal Jillson, a professor of political science at Southern Methodist University, said Lt. Gov. Patrick will ultimately be the decider on how to interpret that constitutional language.

Well, if Dan’s the decider then it’s a foregone conclusion; he’ll keep the triumvirate, Abbott, Patrick & Paxton, intact.

About damn time somebody stood up to those fascists and said “No!”, in clear, uncertain, simple terms they’ll understand.

^This. Leave this to the professionals. When you’ve seen one let go, it is impressive.
