The people saying "book bans are good for book sales" and that "AI is here to stay, just accept it" are basically saying the same thing: that you should be quiet about harmful things and accept the status quo.
Which is why you should scream and keep screaming against harmful systems.

When you have ADHD you learn pretty quickly that routines can't be maintained all the time. That sometimes you are going to drop the ball. I think the biggest coping mechanisms I have learned is not to punish myself for that but to get back to the routine.

This really sucks. It also means it's on the rest of us to get vaxxed to reduce frequency and severity of the disease this season—if you have insurance/easy access, consider doing it to help the pack stay healthy, esp elders and vulnerable people of any age
NEW: The HHS is holding back Covid vaccines for all children in at least 11 states and one territory. And it's not clear when - or whether - the shots will be available. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

My Emmy hot take is once an actor wins for a role, they shouldn't be able to win again for that role. We already know they're good as that character, now give someone else a turn.

The SCOTUS ruling today prevents the USPS from not delivering ballots based on directives from the Trump admin. BUT, the late postmarks issue remains. To make sure your ballot gets counted, return it early and, even better if you can, drop it off in an official ballot dropbox to ensure it’s on time.
Important: the USPS rule that SCOTUS blocked tonight was Trump’s big plan to control and restrict mail voting.
But a separate policy remains in place: USPS is no longer postmarking mail as soon it gets it, which is hugely important for deadlines.
So people must mail back with plenty of time.

In an Intense Election Year, New Post Office Rules Could Trip Up Voter Registration - Bolts
A change in how mail is postmarked could lead some voters to miss key deadlines, including voter registration. Advocates worry the people most affected will be those already facing voting barriers.

Rhea Seehorn is tremendous in Pluribus, and she deserved to win, and also, I'm sad that Matthew Rhys and Keri Russell won't both win on the same night, then make their Emmys kiss.

When you say "single issue", you're just telling me whose lives you don't value.
When you say it's fine to have the government mandate or withhold medical care, you're just telling me you're ignorant and you can't even imagine a life different from yours.
