Just saw someone say their AI runs their fantasy football team and I can’t stop laughing. Like, I’m sure everyone’s doing it or something but it’s very funny to me that pretending to be a team manager was so hard that you needed to pretend to pretend to be a team manager

I need to add this to my content on autonomy & paternalism in Gender & Health—students really want to talk about this and other ways that children are basically treated as property rather than people under US laws

A good fresh Star Trek take on those fake isekai title jokes

A tumblr screenshot showing a post and two reblog responses, reading:
1. "star trek would be the ideal fictional universe to get trapped in because you'd explain your situation and they'd be like yeah makes sense. no further questions. fortunately we can use the mysterious warp signature emitting from this system's icy moon to counterface with the solar radiation and slingshot you back home"
2. "I'm from a universe where your world is all a work of fiction." Benjamin Sisko, nodding. "That happened to me once."
3. "I Got Isekaid Into The Star Trek Universe And They Quickly Understood What Was Happening"

My latest books cartoon for @theguardian.com

Title: Just announced! Three new Gruffalo books commissioned from bestselling authors!

Lee Chilld:
The Gruffalo just wants a quiet life, but when a crime syndicate moves into the deep dark wood, he must use his terrible claws and the terrible teeth in his terrible jaws to protect the fellow.

Sally Rooney:
The Gruffalo moves to contemporary Dublin. He
ill ever see past his orange eyes, purple prickles and poisonous wart.

Kazuo Ishiguro:
After a long absence, the gruffalo returns to the forest and attempts to make sense of his past. Encounters with a mouse, a fox, an owl and a snake uncover long-buried memories, regrets and revelations.

Okay, unfortunately this bus IS apparently running ~15 minutes behind as shown and now I’m paying for a ride share to avoid being catastrophically late to a work or childcare obligation FOR THE THIRD TIME THIS WEEK All because Metro apparently just… forgot how to do their one fucking job somehow 😑

Okay but seriously tho WHAT IS WRONG WITH MADISON METRO RN Not only is almost every route running LATE-late but their GPS is just… not working either? So IF it’s showing a location it’s basically made up?? Which is a real problem given that OCCASIONALLY the bus is actually several minutes early???

there are moral arguments against the death penalty in its ideal form but in real life you never need to get there. the prior question is "can the state be trusted to end the life only of the rightly convicted without torture?" and the answer is no

Spouse recently set up a household media server. He ripped all the movie DVDs we still had lying around but while renaming some of the files he misspelt my childhood fave as “The Chipmonk Adventure” When I tell you I have never felt such an intense wave of nostalgia for my 90s Napster downloads… 🤣
