Allegheny County is showing real leadership here. 18 weeks of paid parental leave would give working families time to heal, bond, and care without sacrificing a paycheck. This is a meaningful step toward the pro-family policies every worker deserves.

Every day I lose the battle of encouraging people to try using your own brain and not outsource thinking to chat gpt. Do you understand how sad it is for an event host to send you discussion prompts clearly written by chat gpt? Can we use AI to predict how bad that discussion will be?

Look, the NFL Draft doesn't have to be your thing. You can skip it! But the negativity is ... strange. The marathon is hugely disruptive for a day, and we celebrate it. If people talked about avoiding Anthrocon like they talk about the Draft we would tell them to stfu.

I think the reason AI propagandists are so flustered by the fact that no real writer wants to use their idiotic tools is that they themselves don't enjoy writing. They see it as a boring arduous chore to be avoided, while real writers actually enjoy writing and actually care about the quality of it.

Yet again r/roadtrips is valiantly trying to save a European from their carefully planned itinerary
Hey everyone,
I'm an 18-year-old from Norway traveling to the
US this summer, and i'll be meeting a friend in St.
Louis. From there, we're planning a road trip and I'd love some advice on what to see along the way.
We'll be leaving around June 25-27 and need to be back in St. Louis before July 4, so we've only got about a week.
V
Current plan:
• Start in St. Charles / St. Louis
• Drive up to Livingston, Montana (staying 2 nights visiting a friend
• Then down to Jackson, Wyoming to see the Tetons
• Skipping Yellowstone because of crowds
• Continue down to Albuquerque, New Mexico (also want to check out Breaking Bad filming locations)
• Then back toward Missouri, possibly via parts of Route 66

This is incredibly cool — A source familiar with Bad Bunny’s performance tonight tells me that the couple in the halftime show got married for real.

They invited Bad Bunny to their wedding and in turn he invited them to get married during his performance.
