What is the (subjectively) weirdest word in the English language?
"Though"
The first two letters don't sound like themselves, and the last three are silent. The word is 83% lies.

Republicans Want to Ban Pets From Domestic Violence Shelters
Saving 3m by hurting domestic abuse victims while blowing 45m on a fucking parade. Wonderful.

What are your favourite things under 50$ that make your life a bit easier or more pleasant?
Ryobi Desktop Vacuum. I do a lot of small-scale craft stuff and absolutely love this thing. Good for cleaning up odd crumbs and whatnot, too. It's surprisingly powerful and fairly quiet (a LOT quieter than a standard handheld vacuum).

YouTube’s Deliberate Indifference Exposes Kids to disgusting Content
Seeing TADC in the thumbnail and the "stock footage with scaryvoice" shockumentary intro immediately put me off this video (plus a link to another video from the same person with the same thumbnail but with Minecraft characters; seems like a good racket). So, my two cents:
🪙: The Amazing Digital Circus is a pretty-brilliant psychological horror adult animation. It shouldn't be recommended to little kids, for sure, but it's not "disgusting content."
🪙🪙: There is definitely a problem with the stuff being recommended to kids on YouTube. Google has no real incentive to fix it, of course, but leaving a kid to watch YouTube at random long enough to wander into the really weird shit is kind of on the parents. It's a video service that cares only about serving ads, not a babysitter; either adjust your expectations or stop complaining.
There are plenty of services for only a few dollars a month that are actively safe for kids. Quick DDG found this (and I'm a little dubious about them including the big players like Netflix and Prime, but they also list stuff that looks better): https://thestreamable.com/video-streaming/best-streaming-service-for-kids
Anyway, here's a much better video courtesy of Dan Olson about the weird stuff on YouTube aimed at kids: https://youtu.be/LKp2gikIkD8 (and its only 15 minutes long)

IDF ordered to stop Gaza-bound aid ship carrying Greta Thunberg
Katz said on Sunday that the blockade was essential to Israel’s national security as it seeks to destroy Hamas. “The State of Israel will not allow anyone to break the naval blockade on Gaza, whose primary purpose is to prevent the transfer of weapons to Hamas,” he said.
Well, if that's true (big "if" 😑), search the ship for weapons and let it through when you don't find any.
Edit: Now that I think about it, that would be a really obvious PR win for Israel that wouldn't cost them anything. "Look at us, we're not doing a genocide, we're letting supplies through!" Once again, their bullheaded belligerence and vicious genocidal bloodlust wins out.

Princess Bride beat them to the punch decades ago. The suspect was rendered only mostly dead when long-distance kinetic interaction was applied in an officer-involved pacification tool activation.

You're a good guy. In a time when I'm having trouble maintaining hope for the future, it's really nice to hear people like you exist.

Making physical PC GOG games
Thus is a super cool project, but just a warning: most burned discs have a lifespan and begin to deteriorate over time as a result of having the ability to be chemically modified by light. If you're looking to make long-term backups, you need to get special, more expensive, blanks intended for archival that last longer.

I describe this movie to people as "moist," and have never been contested. It's a fun one.
