His paper, his business. The real question is why we are still allocating cultural cachet to media outlets that are essentially just “some rich guy’s blog.” Sitting down and waiting to be spoon-fed information by “trusted sources” and “papers of record” is what got us where we are today.

Being shed of the illusion that we had found “one of the good ones” among billionaire-backed media outlets will only strengthen us going forward. It strengthens the onus on each individual to curate their own reality and exercise critical thinking skills.

Sounds plausible. Maybe from something like Hercules, or what Disney did to fairy tales in general. The content is not technically privatized but anything drawn from the same source is going to see close scrutiny from some very intimidating lawyers. A lot can be done under color of copyright law since few can afford to fight even if they’re innocent. And those that can, and do, contest, may find that nobody in town wants to work with them anymore. It’s a small world, after all.

If self-driving cars ever materialize, you can bet your newly-surplus attention will be put to profitable use.

It’s misleading to present this as an isolated case, or a particularly notable one. Virtually all legacy media (and the vast majority of new media) is owned by the same sorts of people.

The entire Fourth Estate is a psyop to keep commoners in their place.

My, how the tables have turned.

The most enticing thing for me is probably the power dynamic and the lovely headspace of being able to silence any internal chattering and just be for a while. Any mention of sex or gender play or whatever aren’t that interesting in themselves except as an opportunity to let go even further.

I guess its a lot like meditation, except I find I can actually “sense” the hypnotist’s presence, and that’s very soothing.

Is modern Star Trek worth the emotional investment? I’m hesitant to sully the memory of the good stuff.

Many trans women proudly and unironically refer to themselves as traps.

Edit: source? See /b/, /lgbt/ It’s a matter of cultural background.

My god I miss the old UI!

Why demonize an important aspect of Japanese LGBT+ culture and sexuality just because it offends our tender Western sensibilities? Next we’ll be denouncing sea monster tentacle rape, despite it being an established trope in their artwork long before widespread contact with Europeans.

Take your linguistic colonization elsewhere.

The internet once told me raw milk was better for lactose intolerance. The internet lied.

It’s ironic that the headline is both abjectly horrifying and at the same time would also make a good premise for a raunchy manga.
