Like I can't even express how strong Joe is to attend his own funeral. Having to send his own body off is not something easy to do. I'm literally crying thinking about how mentally and emotionally taxing this has to be for Joe. And I feel like in this moment as he says his final goodbyes to himself he can fully accept the reality of what happened to him.

Do you have a source for the Brazilian courts demanding personal information of the posters? I haven't been following the story very closely, but everything I've seen has only talked about censorship, which Mush already did for Turkey last year.

I haven't been following it closely either- I'm just going off this post, by someone I don't know and whose objectivity I distrust. They claim that the new Brazilian government had a Jan 6-style failed coup attempt by their far right, and that their Supreme Court ruled that the social media platforms the participants used to coordinate the attempt were required to hand over all their information about the attackers so they could be prosecuted. Purportedly, Musk said no, this obviously violated the laws that said he had to do it, and there is now a legal snafu of some sort.

I don't expect OP to have been lying about most of this, because they're arguing that the demands were justified- but I also can't find a source on that specifically, yeah. The news stories I'm seeing only mention that they demanded that some number of users' accounts should be suspended due to "spreading misinformation". I'm not sure if the link between the riots (which happened) is as direct as OP is implying, but it seems plausible.

Regardless, communications platforms should not be legally liable for speech hosted on them, and even though the rioters in question probably should be arrested, demanding that Twitter be involved in this process and taking retaliatory action against them for noncompliance is- and I believe this is the technical term- "some real bullshit".

If web platforms can be held responsible for anything any government decides is "misinformation", then you have a serious problem the next time you get a Bolsonaro. You don't want Twitter to cave to these sorts of orders. This was the correct move.

...And, as you note, the move Musk did not make when Erdogan demanded the same thing in 2023. One would hope that this is him regretting that decision and opting to do better this time, but more realistically he's just less principled than he likes to think and makes these decisions mainly on the basis of culture war grudges and how personally pissed off he happens to be today.

the thing about fleabag is that now having seen the stage show i'm endlessly curious to see how it's adapted for television, cause like. the isolation is the point. the way it's just one woman and her chair talking to the audience. she does impressions of the other characters herself and is good enough that you almost start to forget, but it makes it all the more impactful when she says she's completely alone and the person she has technically been talking to within the show is just a voice over. even though, technically, there is another 'character' in the show, she is isolated from them entirely. all she has is the audience. and that's one of the most impactful parts of the show (i.e. moment where i felt like someone had punched me in the solar plexus). so i really don't know how that isolation is going to track to tv where there are like, actual people she interacts with

i have to wonder what super hardcore militant vegans think should be done about obligate carnivore animals, because in all my painfully-rapidly-approaching-30-years i've literally never actually seen anyone give a clear consistent much less halfway feasible answer on that

i do think, aside from mercury bias, if bg had been in all season she would have been all wnba, first or at least second. i think people undervalue her because of the rebounding but she is 1000% the worst officiated player in the league, on both sides of the court. so the fact that she's been able to have the performance that she had is incredible, and that she didn't get the acknowledgment really just underscores how much people take what she does for granted.

how many times do your headphones have to break before you can consider replacing them? i swear to god that i've superglued these like five times now and one side just broke off again. i've replaced the padding (fell apart) and the cable (cat chewed them), too. these things are bleach stained, the button for bluetooth is becoming less reactive, and the replacement padding (from a broken pair of sony headphones from childhood) is in poor shape, but they work and sound fine, so idk >_<. they're expensive headphones ($100 CAD) that i've had for years + are a hand-me-down, so i kinda wanna keep repairing them until the speaker blows out or something

I hate that I literally just do not trust any of the older folks in my family to do right by anyone
