Here and Queer

Basically, Mr grifter announced that he might be getting into the collecting side of yugioh, which would lead to the scalping hell that now plagues the Pokémon and One Piece TCGs

As a joke, MBTYugioh gave them pointers on what to “invest in”, recommending some of the WORST shit products that this game released in the years

He then followed up with a tongue-in-cheek, clearly trolling video recommending shit like Legendary Duelists sets, Duelist of Deep and Synchro Storm, and the Platinum cards, and exclusive COINS before ending the video with “Don’t invest in yugioh. You will lose money due to this game’s reprint policies”

Like, it was very obvious for anyone with half-a-brain cell and is familiar with Yugioh that the video is a joke

BUT a bunch of scalping bots took the video at face value and bought out these doodoo, worthless products immediately after his fuckass video came out

since then mass termination and nuking* of transfems' blogs have picked up a lot, and haven't ever stopped. every week there is a mass-banwave, usually hitting transfems for being victims of mass harassment campaigns. some transfems get terminated even more frequently, like every few days to even down to every few hours on some days. the blogs up there in the reblog chain from puppet were all made and terminated within hours of each other.

the transmisogyny comes from the top down AND from the userbase

I have never. Seen this specific typesetting mistake before. I've seen editing mistakes I've seen writing mistakes I've seen typos aplenty I have never seen someone accidentally paste the file version details into the text while typesetting.

that's the first page of the book as well like. I'm assuming this got missed because it obviously happened after the copy was finalised. that's an InDesign file (and not the first InDesign file of the project (clock the 'V2')) so idk much about the publishing process but this is presumably final final steps before committing to print.

The more often you look at something, the more used to seeing it you get and your eyes simply skip over stuff even if you don’t intend for that to happen. It’s subconscious. You can’t control it. This is one of the reasons it’s recommended to edit or proofread in a different font and size - the text physically changes which means your eyes aren’t just scanning the same old for the nth time but are forced to process it anew.

(This is the explanation for why fanfic writers catch typos more often after they hit post on ao3. The text literally looks different on ao3 than it did in their text editor so their eyes are now seeing things they missed.)

When it comes to cover proofs it’s SO common to have typos or word repeats because the covers get looked at SO much that everyone just goes “yep looks fine” because this is the 7th cover meeting or whatever and the persons who worked on it obviously have seen it 5 million times in the past two months. For proofing covers it’s recommended to work backwards and use physical barriers, like a piece of paper covering the cover printout you’re looking at and then you look at the last line on the back of the cover and start backwards. You catch so many more errors that way. That includes misspelled titles, word repeats, punctuation errors, whatnot.

In a victory for science advocates, a federal court blocks the Trump administration’s push to dismantle NCAR

A federal court blocked the Trump administration from taking initial steps to dismantle the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) on Monday, marking a major victory for defenders of the marquee climate research hub headquartered in Boulder.

Colorado U.S. District Judge R. Brooke Jackson issued the temporary injunction in response to a lawsuit filed in March by the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research, the nonprofit overseeing NCAR.

The complaint argues that the federal government targeted the center as a part of a “campaign of retribution” against Colorado for imprisoning former Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters, violating administrative procedures.
