When you've lost batshit crazy, white NFL players, you're in bad shape.

Aaron Rodgers: There's no Make America Great Again movement. The guy you elected hasn't done any of his campaign promises.

The time I spent in Sarajevo and Mostar was life-altering. Anyone interested in spending time in Eastern Europe should, without question, visit Bosnia.

Please, Let me be three again. Let my parents put me to bed in stocking feet, Where the light burns in the corner, To chase away the night dreams.

#1: This whole Bari Weiss look is an immediate red flag. #2: The "if you watch this on mute, does the speaker's body language look stupid" test applies here. #3: This is fucking stupid framing.

Californians get free diapers. But at what cost?

Hello, fellow Central Valley resident who had to read Patty Reed's doll and learn Gold Rush history in elementary school.

did they make you read four john steinbeck novels between 8th and 10th grade or is that just a central valley thing

I'm gonna make a hand wank gesture so large that it blots out the sun.

On CNN SE Cupp saying what we're all feeling: The constant violence against politicians, against media, against everyone is so traumatizing and exhausting to constantly be exposed to and cover.

This is not my cat. I just met this cat. I'm a cat person, but I've started to realize that torties and calicos take a particular shine to me.

The losing city attorney, in closing arguments: “We don’t think she has a First Amendment freedom to wear a penis costume. It was in the middle of the day, and during a (youth) baseball season.”

I'm sure that no small number of parents blubbered their way through these letters.

I was just talking to a friend today about Dolly Parton's Imagination Library - new books every month, totally for free, for kids ages 1-5. My son was part of the program - this is a copy of the letter that came with his last book, right after his 5th birthday.

An interesting, impromptu thread from someone who worked on the Nokia N-Gage.

That would quite possibly take years. There is an excellent book on the whole ordeal called "Fantastinen floppi" though unfortunately, I believe it is only in Finnish. But basically, it was an unholy marriage of a number of spare parts that the execs decided could be turned into a gaming device...

There's no attribution, and searching for the quote on Google only turns up similar social media posts with no citations. This is fake.

I realized I didn't want to be a therapist. A buddy hired me because he needed a writer for the websites he was building for clients. Along the way, I learned a bunch of digital marketing and analytics skills because there was no one else to do that work. 15 years later...

What’s the lore behind choosing your career path ?

Absolutely gorgeous sand boas.

I can ship (have been doing so for years) and I’ve gotten the first litter of (TWENTY TWO OF THEM) eating reliably now.

My political temperament has been pacifistic all my life. Never again. I never want to hear a Democrat so much as whisper the word "bipartisanship." After the last quarter century, any candidate who doesn't have a wrathful thirst for justice that will never be quenched doesn't have my vote.

My cat Jem is Exhibit A for the former. He's indoor/outdoor (because I was an idiot when I first got him, and he's too stubborn to give up his freedom). He's 16, and aside from surviving through sheer spite, one of his greatest joys in life is murdering rodents and leaving them for me to find.

California built the film industry — and we’re ready to bring even more jobs home. We’ve proven what strong state incentives can do. Now it’s time for a real federal partnership to Make America Film Again. POTUS, let’s get it done.

Even with relatively simple analyses (recent example: "Here's a list of businesses and their websites, please give me a one sentence summary of what types of goods or services they sell"), ChatGPT has a very high error rate. Relying on it for an extremely complex situation like this is nuts.

If you're competent at verifying the grant programs in the list are correct and that none of the relevant ones have been left out Just fucking write the list. If you're not competent at verifying this, the list is worse than useless

I wonder what the oldest movie is with two or more main cast members still living. I'm thinking it is probably Mary Poppins, as Julie Andrews and Dick van Dyke are still alive, sixty years later.

Oppenheimer was the most emotionally affecting movies I've seen in many years. I was shell-shocked. But after some contemplation, I think it's a stunning film. If you have the opportunity to see it, do so. And if a 70mm showing is an option, you have to take advantage.

You are up to date.
