!! OMG, not another time-waster: This SW-made harm-reduction toolkit helps you screen the clowns !!

Ahh – remember the days when you thought SW would be “hot outfits and cute regulars” and not “late-night spam numbers, time wasters, weird vibes, and dudes who ‘forgot’ their screening info”? YUH.

The harm reduction buddy you wished you always had.

And, while you’re at it, show up this weekend: The SW Autonomous Committee (SWAC) is striking Saturday, May 23rd during F1 weekend in Montreal. The day kicks off at Place de la Paix, and around 5:30 p.m. participants split up to distribute flyers outside strip clubs across the city, demanding better working conditions, an end to exploitative bar fees, and pushing toward decriminalization. Labour rights are SW rights. Pull up if you can!

!! OMG, WATCH: Cursed AI rendering give us a historical, JP Morgan-themed Mortal Kombat game !!

Here’s something to TWITCH about: Someone fed an AI the wrong prompt and now we have what no one asked for. As if surviving wasn’t a game enough!

Picture JP Morgan himself, top hat and all, delivering a fatality with a gold-tipped cane while Andrew Carnegie gets launched through a stained glass window at the Metropolitan Club.

The rendering is deeply unhinged in the way only AI art can be, faces melting mid-uppercut, pinstripe suits fused with medieval armor, a health bar that appears to be denominated in railroad bonds.

!! OMG, actress Hari Nef was at NYC protest against US arms sales to Israel !!

Actress Hari Nef was among roughly 90 people taken into custody in New York City on April 13 after joining a protest against U.S. arms sales to Israel outside the Manhattan offices of Senators Chuck Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand. The demonstration, organized by Jewish Voice for Peace, called on the senators to support efforts to block a proposed sale of more than $600 million in bombs. Chelsea Manning and NYC Council Member Alexa Avilés were also reported among those arrested.

“And I’ll do it again. going to jail is honestly not that big of a deal!! especially when you’re surrounded by senior jewish divas who have been doing it since the ’70’s.”

!! OMG, bubble wands and Pope feuds: TMZ’s new D.C. bureau is already making lawmakers squirm !!

TMZ is making its presence felt on Capitol Hill. The celebrity news outlet recently opened a D.C. bureau aimed at scrutinizing lawmaker behavior, and it’s already ruffling feathers.

On Monday, the outlet shared footage of Senator Lindsey Graham dodging a question about a bubble wand he was spotted holding during a Disney World visit over the congressional recess 2 week break. Graham responded by putting his hand over the camera and walking away without a word.

Senator Ted Cruz got a similarly pointed ambush, with a TMZ producer asking whether he sided with the Pope or President Trump amid the president’s public clash with Pope Leo XIV over the Middle East conflict. Cruz deflected, insisting both leaders “speak for themselves” and refusing to engage further despite repeated follow-ups. The encounters are early examples of what founder Harvey Levin has described as the bureau’s mission: highlighting where politics and pop culture collide. LOLs. This should be good.
