circling back on this, they did it
"Combo of mediocrity & ambition" that "fosters a type of cravenness that is willing to do anything" gets at so much of what's wrong with not just our politics but our society and culture, too.
the baby (20 months) brought me her jacket and gestured for me to put it on her & zip it up. then she said “WEADY!” and walked off. stay vigilant. she is coming
This is not a sincere complaint. This is a humble brag.
I'm sad to say that when I read in Spanish I hear it in my head with a strong American-english accent.
Sounds like Danny Devito in Romancing the Stone. 🫤
I need to practice more.
rent is due today and she's got nothing toward it #UrgentNeed #HelpSky #BlackCrowdFund please help 💸 💕 💸
yeah. like the only reason we should care is because it hurts "the economy" because apparently that is such bullshit that it cannot survive without exploitable labor. And no one ever points this out in these articles!
Uh, can anyone spare $20? Somehow my bank account is overdrawn. While I investigate I could use some help. perclexed at gmail is my PayPal account.
So the Post Office keeps us in touch with each other (even if we don’t use it often) and it does so for a pittance.
It’s an amazingly complicated logistical engine and the only reason we’re having this conversation is 50+ years of the Right trying to kill it, because they hate what it stands for.
So let's look at the rhetorical similarity with a transphobic canard used by GC ideologues, "We're all non-binary".
It's a bit rooted in truth, but it's deployed to say that deviation that is not "extreme enough" is meaningless. Effectively, it insists on a rigid medicalized diagnostic criteria.
“I spent 2022 and 2023 and much of 2024 trying to fight the lie that something was wrong with youth trans care. The lie won, now it's the dominant narrative.”
Feeling the loss with Evan, and the lies about us which seem to dominate everywhere, from the statehouse to MSM to the break room.
Everybody gets hit with Body Stuff, but white women and the thinness thing is just diabolical. Like…they want y’all to look you’ve been surviving off cotton balls soaked in milk and roach carcasses.
I didn't really like my figure for years until my mother-in-law (not white) took me shopping for clothes that showed off the feature (my ass) that she'd always wished she had.
Funny how that works!
i think enthusiastic LLM use is mostly a stack of cognitive biases, unacknowledged plagiarism, and unmet needs in a trenchcoat
but also my main objections aren't about them being bad at tasks so i don't care if you think they've gotten better at it
Did you know? The air inside homes with gas stoves has smog levels (NO2) 50-400% higher than air inside homes with electric stoves — often at levels known to cause asthma in kids.

A handmade pottery mug made from white speckled clay that reads FUCK AROUND AND FIND OUT. The mug is glazed blood red on the handle, rim, and interior and there are red drips down the sides.
“Are swear words okay?” is the most common question I get about custom message mugs. No need to explain. You can absolutely send your Nana a mug with the c-word on it.
My rules are simple: no slurs, no threats, and nothing that will get the secret service called on me. Otherwise go wild! 🩸 #pottery
Also, neither panic can establish that these populations are disproportionately likely to be trans. Lots of trans people present relatively normatively before coming out. Many transmascs I know (including me!) presented as mousy uncomfortable girls for many years.
They really paid 2 billion a day to do a Khameni is dead long live the new Khameni
My research is on working class women and AI and the ONE consistency among all of the interviews we’ve done so far is concerns about data centers and environmental impact. We do not bring it up - they do. Every single one.
GI Joe: Blackout is not a good game by any stretch, but I appreciate that the ONE unlockable skin for the franchise's most popular character is Trans Snake Eyes.
Man I'm gonna need every Democrat to be at least as spiteful to this administration as fuckin Tillis.
okay, Ill bite.
What do you think the point of reading for and writing a literature review is? The process of reading and writing is crucial for THINKING. Your ideas are shaped by all of this, offloading it to gAI, no matter how "good" you think gAI is at it defeats the purpose entirely.
When I was a kid, my dad's friend gave us a donkey.
Reason for the gift was that even though he was NEVER seen outside his enclosure, somehow the neighbor who raised thoroughbreds kept getting mules.
Lots of stuff in this thread is available with links to the shop. Thanks as always for peeking, and thanks for sharing your favorites!
Doctor: Over the last month, how often have you felt nervous, anxious, or on edge, or afraid as if something awful might happen?
Me: Right? Solidarity, man. I feel ya.
Doctor: No, I need you to tell me an actual number of days.
Me: Oh sorry, I thought you were doing small talk.
They act like they can't change their own rules all the time. Don't ask me how I know.
One thing about me is I will watch 5000 hours of news bloopers. I will turn off Oscar-award-winning director Chloe Zhao’s searing portrait of parental grief, HAMNET, to watch me some news bloopers. Neither Shakespeare nor his wife ever called someone Deedee MegaDooDoo on accident.

"In a lot of ways Ive spent a lot of time being the one person willing to say we're all afraid to die and afraid to lose our loved ones..."
Oh really, Justin? You're the only one willing to say death is scary?
