I do captioning for a living, & a big part of my job is cleaning up false starts & filler words. That has always been the norm at every media outlet. Print media edits Trump so carefully that you would never know what he actually sounds like. Doing this to Biden is a 180 from decades of policy.

Now everyone--The Times and, sorry to say, MSNBC--is noting every missed syllable. The man has a stutter. I don't stutter but I am a mushmouth who speaks too fast and slurs words. I've had to overcome fear of public speaking. I have empathy for Biden. The press has empathy for no one (but Trump).

Quote website using AI to pull quotes from famous people keeps doing this lol:

Ben Shelton hit the fastest serve in Wimbledon history? A) he strings his racquet tight as hell, can you imagine how fast he could hit if he loosened? B) John Isner played 1000 hours of tennis at that tournament, do you know how insane it is that Ben hit one faster than him???

Angel/CC having equally valid roty cases would be fun in any other timeline not blurred by racism and misogyny

It should not be controversial to say that prison sexual violence and/or coercion is never a good thing or an appropriate thing to joke or threaten about, even when the target is someone terrible. It is a deeply fucked up, traumatic part of our carceral system.

This is, in fact, really fucked up

i cannot stress how relieving it is to see the president of a major creative tech company like nintendo voice concerns about generative ai and say they’re not interested www.tweaktown.com/news/99109/n...

Nintendo won't use generative AI in its first-party gameswww.tweaktown.com Nintendo President Shuntaro Furukawa has revealed that the company currently has no plans to use generative AI in its games due to IP rights concerns.

a) this song rocks. i want to know who all it's aimed at. Latto can rap, gotdamn. b) this is exactly how i want to dress most days.

these all-white Atlanta Dream uniforms are cold.

super h/t to @philipchristman.bsky.social who was the first to point out to me that we ought to be asking more trans men how we should define masculinity, manhood, and more.

You may have heard: There’s a “masculinity crisis.” As overplayed as the conversation might be, men really are suffering in a number of arenas. I spoke with Rev. Shannon TL Kearns, a trans man and priest (and writer), who told me that work on masculinity can happen interpersonally and systemically.

Manhattan Prosecutors Agree to Delay Trump’s Sentencingwww.nytimes.com Donald J. Trump’s lawyers want to argue that a Supreme Court decision giving presidents immunity for official acts should void his felony conviction for covering up hush money paid to a porn star.

we should not accept a man coming back from a meniscus surgery in four weeks. irrational. something is going on there.
