okay like it was cute and all but s3 I need carmen to step up and actually keep the promise he made about being there for sydney. like I need her to be mad at him. to feel some type of way about his ditching her. then I need to see him try. like desperately try to make it up to her. carmy needs to be that guy doing too much. she wants a star? ok he’s gonna die on that line if he has to. AND, and this is important, she’s gonna go on a date. with who the fuck knows. because she’s beautiful and desirable and not just like, his. and she’ll confide in him about feeling nervous and she’ll try to talk herself out of it but carmy. carmy will have to be a good friend this time. carmy will encourage her to go. he will tell her he’ll cover for her during service and to have fun because she deserves to have a life outside the kitchen. then we get a scene where syd leaves out the back with her stuff and carmy just stares at the door after her.

extremely funny when AI artists feel the need to put watermarks on their images

like oh you're worried about misattribution and image theft huh. you're worried that someone's gonna take the image you made and claim it as their own. or strip away the context and your name. or use it in ways you didn't consent to. boy that sure would suck huh. i bet that would feel really bad. i bet that would be really annoying. i b

The original tweet is the corniest thing I’ve ever fucking seen

A. They're not gonna tip you, periodt. So already the $10mil is looking better.

B. They're not gonna talk to you, so any "business advice" you thought was gonna be worth more than $10mil, that's null and void, aint happening.

C. Here's the real secret of their "success"; they're all bad people. That's literally it. They're willing to lie, steal, cheat, bully, oppress, rape, etc to get what they want, and their appetites are never sated, so they never stop lying, cheating, etc. You don't get that kind of money through hard honest work. If you're willing to be a big enough piece of shit, you could easily be one of these guys.

So yeah, if someone's offering that choice, get it in writing and stay the hell away from these creeps.

But if you're serving them you can poison the food

i'm sorry.. what?

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- Philadelphia Municipal Court is resuming evictions as early as Monday, saying landlord tenant officers have now received training on use of force and de-escalation tactics.

landlord.. tenant.. officers?

"Though the sheriff has the power to serve evictions, the task is usually handled by a private force hired by a court-appointed attorney known as the landlord-tenant officer. These private security contractors — who are often armed — have long been a part of the local eviction system."

so landlords have their own private military? this is class warfare

This follows the court suspending all evictions in July after multiple tenants were shot during evictions over the past several months. In one incident in March, a plainclothes landlord tenant officer shot a woman in the head. In another incident in July, police said a woman was shot in the leg. A spokesperson for the court's Landlord and Tenant Office said evictions will now be conducted in teams of two officers who have all received Pennsylvania Constable training.

this is LITERALLY class warfare

The LTO is funded by service fees from landlords and not taxpayer money. Fees to landlords will increase from $145 to $350 to cover the additional staff, training and insurance costs.

and who the fuck do you think is going to end up ultimately paying those fees in the end? where do you think the landlords are going to get the money? you're just giving them an excuse to raise the rent. oh my god this country is a complete and total failed state.

terfs celebrating that the international chess federation has banned trans women from competing in women's FIDE competitions, because it's sooooooo feminist to argue that women are so biologically inferior and nowhere near as smart as men and thus can't play chess on the same level. girl that's not feminism that's literally just misogyny

So I found out a little more about this.

Firstly, we need to establish that FIDE, the top international chess league, has a very long history of being misogynistic. That's just something FIDE has been doing for a while now.

Their logic is that there are too few women in chess, so therefore they made an international women's league and an international men's league so there would be more women in chess, since women kept on losing to men apparently (which only really happened because they weren't as experienced but whatever).

The logic behind the ban is so Grandmasters like Magnus Carlsen and Hikaru Nakamura can't trans their gender to win easy tournament money from women's tournaments.

Except, of course, no one fucking does this, and if I'm not mistaken there is not a single transgender player in the top 1,000 chess players globally.

So, on a deeply personal note, not even as someone who's good at chess or was planning to become a GM but just as someone who thinks the Game of Kings is neat and occasionally plays it—fuck you, FIDE.

It's all "we love mobility aid users" until we say that small businesses shouldn't be allowed to get away with violating the ADA and then it's all "but but the money giving you the same basic access as everyone else is soooo hard and expensive".

If a business doesn't have an ADA-standard ramp it deserves to fail. If a store can't keep its aisles clear and wide enough it deserves to fail. If a business can't keep the floors even and non-slip it deserves to fail. If users of any mobility aid can't navigate a business it deserves to fail. We are not a nice addition or an extra customer base. We are non-expendable human beings with the right to enter public places with the same ease as everyone else.

I mean this so seriously white people who follow me, what are Black people in the white community that you feel like get defended and protected no matter what. My first instinct is that they don’t but I’m curious

Re: your notes that’s the point. Like there is no white cultural equivalent to a very real Black phenomenon of giving honorary Black cards and invitations to cookouts. There is no Black person who is safe enough to be protected by white people, even the most famous and beloved among us are never given defense or protection by white people at large. It’s an interesting dynamic an full disclosure will be expanding on this idea in a TikTok

It used to be Bill Cosby.

New weird horse just dropped, folks.

A spotless giraffe was recently born at Bright’s Zoo in Limestone, TN and was just announced in the media this morning. They’re starting a public naming contest for her, of course.

I’d love to know what type of mutation causes this lack of of pattern, but I don’t know if we have genetics on that for giraffes the way we do other species. As far as is known, she’s the first spotless giraffe ever documented!
