I'm glad that past me didn't know (many things about my current life, but...) that my old friend would run for governor of OH (that's not the bad part - it's awesome) + would be disparaged in a "rally" by Donald Trump, who is president of the US...FOR THE SECOND TIME. What a shit timeline this is.

I enjoy the Public Figures podcast and often forget they're bugnutty religious folks until they start seriously taking about which animals are "unclean" (biblically) and about Noah's Ark as if it were real.

I'd like to see the venn diagram of people who "don't care if the video is AI, it's cute!" and the ones who insist they have to use AI to create slop marketing materials because they "can't afford" a designer

I'm not just blaming the people who voted for him (or who stayed home). I'm expanding it to people who went on (celebs and non-celebs) or were part of The Apprentice, as well as anyone who watched that show. This is on you.

"Automating tasks and systems is my love language" is a new and terrible way to justify one's use of generative AI slop

"Why do you have a problem with small businesses using AI but not big corporations?" They're both ridiculous, but the corps have real designers/marketers on staff who are carefully overseeing, optimizing and proofreading their AI slop, which small businesses don't.

"I asked God why he allowed my wife to get injured so badly and he said, 'Do you think you love her MORE THAN ME?'" First of all, making up a dialogue for a murderous punitive daddy figure so you can discipline yourself is wild. Second, if you're hearing voices, please do see a professional.

Silent movies often featured chase scenes, which were often the most exciting/interesting scenes. So, ‘cut to the chase’ came to mean “get to the important part.”

Y'all can't be bothered to engage with/support concise, personal posts from actual people you know, but will share the hell out of - and believe without vetting - every long, treacly, fake AI story with the AI pics posted by engagement bait pages that exist only to make money via your clicks. Ok.

It's so great we have a new performance venue in town...that out of the gate went full out on AI slop for all of their marketing. Coulda partnered with any number of local designers, but..."it's free". If you do this, you 100% are not interested in your community.

It's always odd to me when someone refers to a "gentleman" who is far from gentle. In this case, they had to duct tape this guy to his airplane seat and divert the flight and arrest him because he was so out of control. I think maybe we can dispense with the niceties.

We're really still referring to adult performers in 2026 as a "pop princess"? Somehow I've never heard any dude referred to as a "pop prince" (excluding, ya know, Prince).

"Size 10 but really fits like a 6". If companies like @lululemonus.bsky.social could stop this kind of size discrimination nonsense that should have been left behind in the 90s, that'd be cool.

If a single person expresses the desire to find a partner (without any other context), that is definitely not your cue to unsolicitedly suggest that they need to "just love [yourself] first". There are puh-LENTY of self-loathing people in relationships, so...

Why does it cost $9 to send a 2 ounce package 600 miles west of me? Maybe because each time they send it *350 miles further west*, into an extra state, and then it has to double back. USPS doing stellar work, as per usual.

If you punched Elon in his weirdly inflated torso, you’d pop it, and he would fly around the room like a balloon you didn’t tie a knot on, and that would be the first successful Space-X launch.

I'd like to see the Venn diagram of people who happily pay 4 figures to see a stadium show (or sport), but who balk about paying $35 for community theater or a performing arts center show. Without that $35 show, there IS no stadium show. Support local arts, the pipeline to all the big acts you love.
