I need somebody more rigorous than me to make the case that splitting media into "desexualized serious art" and "mindless porn" is both a disservice to art and a way to shut down discussion of sexuality in culture, because a defining element of porn is that it sits beyond serious commentary.
man, the tech job market. fuckloads of SC/DV in a bunker in Hertfordshire come and build drones for ukraine! they're totally for ukraine bro, honest! (actual recruiter pitch) we're certainly not sending any of these to israel now i know the head office is in israel, but --
There’s been plenty written about interim U.S. Attorney in LA Bill Essayli, and it appears to have only emboldened him. Today he moved to dismiss the civil rights case against ex-sheriff’s deputy Trevor Kirk, after the judge denied Kirk bail on his four-month prison sentence.
Japan has issued a tsunami warning along the eastern coast, after an 8.7 magnitude earthquake off of Kamchatka Peninsula in Russia. The Japanese government expects tsunami as high as 3 meters and is issuing evacuation orders. Hoping all the affected communities will be safe.
my only contribution to the sydney sweeney discourse is that american eagle was my favorite in HS because it was probably the closest thing to a cool store we had in roanoke. i still have a peacoat from it that i only recently stopped wearing because it’s starting to fall apart
the important thing is to hold it against these fucks e.g. Kara Swisher and Scott Galloway if they promote shit, make it hurt their personal reputation also it turns out when Swisher was pumping crypto in the press she didn't disclose her $300k in bitcoin amycastor.com/2022/05/23/k...

Lately I have been afflicted by weird spam texts posing as wrong numbers. One was a dinner invitation. Another wanted a ride from the airport. When I said it was a wrong number, the texter tried to engage in further conversation. I guess people are lonely or dumb enough to fall for whatever this is
so Seraphinne Vallora admitted that their "AI fasion" image is not a AI creation, it's an ordinary fashion shoot that they then AI-ed up a bit. Like I said. they then try to turn this failure into a brag. they're still selling their £89 how-to-prompt guide, btw. www.instagram.com/p/DMm4KkfoYCj/
I've been running in Central Park the last week after not having run there in a year. It is so so crowded with runners. And I've seen a few runners doing selfie videos (which is new to me). It's a very vibrant running scene for 6:30 a.m. Is this the 'running clubs are the new dating app' effect?
Earlier this month, the FDA sent Whoop a letter saying its new blood pressure tech needed regulatory clearance. Whoop whipped out the W word: wellness. And so I think it's time we talk about semantics and increasingly murky line between medical + wellness tech. www.theverge.com/health/71510...
I don't know that these are directly related, but this Schedule A case dropped around the same time that the Trump Org moved to stop a MAGA-themed Instant Pot (yes that's an actual thing). Kind of weird timing because plans for the item were announced last month. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/28/u...
