"This is your brain" is definitely more famous. "I learned it by watching you" is definitely funnier. I still use that one IRL.

Omigod, this is the most heartwarming story possible! Backpack (bear 89) is the son of the 2019 winner of Fat Bear Week, Holly (bear 435). In 2007, he injured his foot & a practice of riding on momma's Holly's back had a new meaning: he was mobility-restricted while it healed. So Holly moved him.
From DISCVR blog's Facebook page, a momma bear & a yearling cub on her back in the shallow water.  I think the background has been swapped out, and I can't rule out some AI use there?  God, Facebook has become the social media for AI slop : (

The title of the article, which I link below, is "How Bear 89 earned the name Backpack"

I’m increasingly of the belief that we’ve never truly left the Great Financial Crisis. Everything we’re dealing with today started there, and every excess and problem stems from the US government’s failure to contain or eradicate its causes.

Friends. Today was a great day in terms of playing soccer, giving a kicking lesson, and doing a campaign event with Robert Garcia, but I have to tell you the cherry on top was seeing this Republican text ad whimpering about our campaign’s efforts to shine a light on my extremist opponent.
An attack ad from the Orange County Republicans against me featuring a whimpering plea to stop highlighting how my opponent has hung out with white nationalists and posted anti-Semitic content to YouTube, including a bonus AI picture of me!

No cheating, post your lock screen.
My phone’s lock screen featuring a sticker from the restroom wall at Devil’s Point in Portland, OR. Featuring a useless reminder to feed the cats as if they don’t start meowing at me a hour before it’s good time every single day.

NEWS — Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear criticizes fellow Democrats who say transgender athletes should be barred from women’s sports. “That is not the party that we are. We start as a party of compassion and empathy.”

Today, I see angry young men online LARPing as Catholics, often for the aesthetic. They celebrate strength and hate the weak. The use slurs against the disabled and fantasize about enacting Crusader violence against their enemies. I wish the Pope would speak directly on this.

The Pope reminds me of a version of Catholicism I knew growing up as a young man attending anti-war and anti-death penalty protests, where I met elderly Catholics who shared their version of faith with me. I learned that Catholicism was about love and mercy for the weak, the condemned, and the poor.

Vought is breaking the law but he is not “going rogue.” At his confirmation hearings, Vought told Republicans he would do this and they voted for him anyway. If they want to stop him, they still can via impeachment. They won’t.

Nope, that’s not a surprise to me. The rest of what you wrote was just a personally generated projection over the top of the actual message. I don’t know what you want me to do with that.

Right, okay everybody, I’ve had a lot of meetings and talks this week and I have to share some top line thoughts. Things are quite a bit worse than i am usually willing to share with people because panic does no good. It’s kinda bad. The baddies have the wind at their back. No denying that.

context. sentiment. inferences. People seriously cannot do these things anymore. That’s why they angrily demand you spell out every joke, every reference, super duper promise you mean something only this one prescribed way. They cannot do it for themselves or tolerate the any ambiguity.

After a lot of back and forth with a couple of CSRs over the phone, we ultimately came to an agreement:
Picture of my cut up Bass Pro Shops club card managed by Capital One. I cancelled my account due to their use of third-party vendors to “verify” user identity in order to add their cards to ApplePay. Never give your identification information to systems you do not know and do not trust.
010
Xavier Velasquez @caedo.co · 19/09/2026
So, I call the number and a recorded speech instructs me to download the Capital One App and complete verification there. It then hangs up. So, I sign into the App and it requests I upload a selfie and a picture of my government-issued ID into a third-party vendor’s system. FUCK that. No way.

Xavier Velasquez @caedo.co · 19/09/2026
So apparently Capital One requires “verification” to add their cards to ApplePay. After adding the card, Wallet gives you two options to verify: 1. Call a number. 2. Use the Capital One App.

It’s very simple. A reality TV host became dictator because he turned down a role for Sharknado 4 and that’s why the king of outer space, who cheats at Diablo, got to kill Africa. Now the economy is controlled by a sex cult that has something to do with Harry Potter fanfic because of robots.
