I remember when we used to eat 4 spiders a year. I just checked. Now the number has gone up to 8 before getting debunked again.

I could give the benefit of doubt if it were some cringeworthy high school nerd trying to do a super sentai pose, but this is the guy who owns a metaphorical Nazi bar.

Just excuses. Not like I care, but he'll never actually own up to this or apologize for being rude to people who called him out.

I suppose it always was rainbow capitalism. No way somebody with too much money for them to have to care about marginalized people would.

Say you're a hateful bigot without saying you're a hateful bigot.

I'm not going to get on their case. I think that's okay if they genuinely don't care or don't know what's good for them.

Even Jesus had his heated moments. Going by the stories, didn't Jesus fly into a rage and literally flip tables just because he didn't like seeing people making money in a temple?

Ah sweet, another anime where everybody hates the healer. I'll give this one a try.

As media scrutiny ticked up Friday, Meta began taking down Liv and other bots’ posts, many of which dated back at least a year, citing a “bug.”

Funny how that works. I don't think the main talking point is the issue that they couldn't be blocked on Instagram. That is a non-answer to the question of why the decision to unleash these creepy, fake users into the wild was made in the first place. Full fledged features aren't suddenly mistakes just because they're getting backlash now. It seems like they're not sorry and they're going to keep trying.

Luigi Mangione represents an idea that is uncomfortable to certain people in power. It's okay to attribute millions of deaths to Hitler when he gives the order to kill and condones the decisions his subordinates make to carry out that order. But they don't want to let the poors normalize the idea that a healthcare CEO should be considered similarly responsible for many intentional deaths when he gives the order to deny as many claims as possible especially when they are clearly valid and urgently needed. Brian Thompson is responsible for many deaths. It's not fair to say he isn't just because he didn't kill directly with a gun.

This is getting really fucking creepy. I suppose next they're going to start following and sending private messages because anything is worth it for our precious "engagement".
