I miss when ads were a single click and then they’re gone. Now every ad has a minimum of three phases where you watch a video, exit the still frame of fake gameplay, and then exit the app download. That doesn’t even touch on the ones that forcibly take you to another app after opening a tab in safari without you ever touching the screen.

I hate advertising. I hate that you can’t do anything without companies jumping down your throat with mostly bullshit ads. I hate that billboards exist. I hate that every company unanimously decided to make their ads longer and longer. I hate that ad blockers try to charge you money and there are in app purchases to remove ads. I hate that my attention has become commodified. I hate that there’s nothing I can do about it.

This image you posted reminded me of a very specific piece of noise music trivia

African Imperial Wizard, a white producer previously presenting himself as a group who “channels an inner struggle, a collective memory scarred by oppression and dispossession” (direct quote from the bandcamp page for his album Mbuya Nehanda) before being put on blast by Xiu Xiu in the post above. He wore the kente cloth KKK hoods (apparently inspired by Paul Rucker's Storm in the Time of Shelter, although I got that from a 3rd hand source) at his live shows.

tw: sexual assault

Valerie D'Orazio, a comic writer and editor, posted on twitter in 2023 about how she was sexually harassed/assaulted by Stephen Wacker, Marvel's newly chosen Editor in Chief. More detail under the cut.

UPDATE: Valerie D'Orazio has made a followup post on twitter.

please reblog this version

comics industry so miserable for women that a man putting his hand under a woman's shirt in the workplace with "flirty" intent does not even rank in the top 10 worst things men have done to her. not unexpected but still fucking awful. and her #1 is still a guy in the industry. ok. we have to start running these men over in cars

[dickgraysonsptsd]

i fear that we have to care about things men do to women that aren't the worst events of a woman's life.

The racist and transphobic tears being shed over the casting in The Odyssey almost make me want to see it.... almost.

I mean just imagine looking at Lupita Nyong'o and not thinking, "Yeah, that's the most beautiful woman in the world, I'd go to war for that." You must be seriously estranged from beauty to think anything else.

‘No evidence ADHD is overdiagnosed in the UK’

A team of experts have said the condition could even be underdiagnosed.

So not only is their not evidence ADHD is over diagnosed the experts agree it’s under diagnosed

Which most of us already knew

[bleachandtea]

And yet GPs are randomly cancelling people's established prescriptions based on ~vibes~.

Proof again that a GP is by definition not an expert on anything and shouldn't be treated like one.

[18thcenturythirsttrap]

Also proof that all the Government and media spin about 'overdiagnosis' is exactly that, spin created to justify cuts to practical and financial support.
