I don't pretend to understand how a text to voice works but I know it doesn't just work on how things sound, because there's no way it could mix up the way I say "we're" and the way I say "were," but it does it all the time

I love those days when you look at your afternoon schedule with mounting dread but apparently everyone else was feeling the same so one after another meetings get canceled and you actually have the afternoon to do work

Why did Eric Schmitt fuck up his gotcha moment so badly? No one involved considered the possibility that Jack Smith attended a women’s basketball game. A MAGAt undone by misogyny. Not at all surprising.

as a tech services librarian I often feel like it's my job just to sit and listen to very long explanations and then ask, Ok great, but what about serials?

if you were an adult in the 1990s you probably remember how conservatives could not stop talking about how terrible it is that liberals will make you say funny words out of a concern for political correctness

if Democrats were any kind of a political party they would already be demanding that senator Schmitt apologize and resign

Sen Schmitt just eternally beclowned himself. For the rest of his natural life he will be the dude who doesn't know the difference between Hawks and Hawkeyes

The next Democratic President needs to make it clear to Musk, Bezos, and the rest of the oligarchs that if they want access to the White House they are free, like anyone else, to take the tour

There were more men in a single documented gang rape at one school than the number of competitive trans athletes nationally. But I’ve heard a lot more politicians being asked about protecting girls from one of these scenarios and not another… I’ll let you guess which is which.

If the Democrats sweep and do nothing to effectively enforce accountability then there are two US political parties that must be destroyed.

A rich person can never be held accountable. Therefore, a rich person must never make a societal decision
