Very tragic that I have to spend 3 days a week at an office for the time being when I could be HANGING OUT WITH MRS BABY 😭
Sable, a beautiful torbie cat who I often call Mrs Baby, lays on my bed peeking up at me with half-open eyes, looking like a soft diva

Sable the torbie cat like an hour after I took her home from the shelter in January. She’s flopped on her belly on my rug looking like she’s raising her hand, there’s a white rabbit fur toy ball next to her. She is the best baby

Truly madly deeply could not agree more, I’ve thought this for years re clickbait seo content but I can’t believe it’s gotten SO MUCH WORSE now
Aftermath article screenshot. “Whatever the reasons, I know the results: It's an indignity. Like, come on man. We're people trying to get by on the internet here, and being treated like an article is a puzzle box that feels designed solely to torment someone into juicing a pageview, rather than inform or entertain a reader, is a demeaning experience. Nobody should have to dance for their supper just to find out some folks have rediscovered The Wire again.
The more I see these headlines, the more I feel like one of the last living humans on an internet increasingly written by machines for machines. What are we even doing here, when headlines aren't being written for the people reading the website? What even is a website without that? There's nothing in these headlines making me want to click on these stories, and there's very little in them to warrant the deception in the first place. It's smoke and mirrors from top to bottom.”

The article does give a decent overview of the general vibe of the books and also, destruction paired with blatant plagiarism is significant pretty much no matter what book it is imo
We’re not revealing the titles of the books included in the shipment we tracked, but they are rare, meaning there are not many copies of them in circulation. Sometimes that’s because not many copies of them were ever printed, and sometimes because they are in a foreign language not many people speak. As the bookseller who sold them told me, there are not many people in the world who would care about them in the same way people might care about the first edition of Oliver Twist, but that doesn’t mean they’re not valuable. 
“There are different types of value,” the bookseller said. “There's monetary value, obviously, but there are a lot of other types of value. There's historical value, intellectual value, sentimental value. All sorts of things, and all of those the AI companies don't care about. They just want the content as a bunch of words strung together.”

Ok wait…. They’re… being investigated for taking preemptive cautionary measures?????
KEY FACTS

Citing two unnamed sources, the Post reported federal and state health officials are looking into the fast food chain after Detroit-area Taco Bell restaurants posted signs they were “currently unable to sell Lettuce, Cilantro Onion, Pico de Gallo, and Guacamole due to a nationwide recall.”

No specific produce grower or supplier has been identified as the source of the cyclosporiasis outbreak, and Taco Bell has not elaborated on the signs or why executives think their produce may be connected.

On February 28, The Stranger published an additional story with two more women accusing Callaghan of rape and sexual assault that took place at Loyola University in 2017. One woman alleged Callaghan raped her while she was heavily intoxicated, and later mocked how she repeatedly said "No" during the assault. Another woman alleged that Callaghan followed her to her dorm room and refused to leave, before grabbing her and sexually assaulting her as she cried and told him 'No' "at least three times". Callaghan's legal representative said, "Andrew has taken accountability for his role in other situations and will be the first to admit his shortcomings; however, these accusations go further and are completely without merit. Andrew will utilize every option he has in order to clear his name and protect his reputation."[46]

in this chronicle of stuff Lindsey graham said, I learned that he was insufferable from birth and also that The Sanitary Cafe may be one of the most insane names for a bar I ever did hear www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...
From Guardian article chronicling notable, revealing, and often hypocritical Lindsey Graham quotes: “Here’s a taste of how Graham described his political journey.

On his childhood in the Sanitary Café, his parents’ bar

“I would strut around the place, sometimes dressed as a cowboy – hat, vest and plastic six shooters. I might get up on the bar and walk up and down it while talking to folks. When customers went to the restroom, I might steal their beer and chug it. I might smoke their cigarette, too, if they left it burning in the ashtray. Those were antics that earned me the nickname, ‘Stinkball’, which everyone in the bar except my parents called me.”

My Story, 17 June 2015”

This is a bleakly thorough account of the clown show (no disrespect to actual clowns or shows) that this entire situation was from start to finish, and also like…. Of fucking course he’s like this in the workplace
“Treatment of staff by Moraff and Katz became an increasing source of friction inside the campaign, according to several former staffers. Women on the campaign told Platner he was being managed by advisers who treated them unfairly and didn’t value their ideas, according to some of the former staffers and texts viewed by the Journal. Some directly raised their concerns with Platner, who was sympathetic but sided with his advisers, these people said.
Loud, one of those women, raised concerns specifically regarding Moraff. “I reached out to Graham, who I’d become very close to at that point, and was just like, ‘Hey, you have a very sexist, misogynistic staff.’”
The campaign didn’t respond to requests for comment on the issue.”

cassidy @cdg.bsky.social · 06/07/2026
man this just makes me so sad
Screenshot from linked politico article:

“Racicot said she was torn over coming forward in part because she agrees with Platner politically.

“One of the reasons I didn’t come forward sooner was, the huge moral conflict that I had between supporting his politics, but not supporting him as a person,” she said. “I just want the truth out there. I just want people to have a whole scope of who he is as a person.”

It’s laughable that this doesn’t mention bluesky custom feeds, which have existed for years, and also acts like recommendation algos are the only way social media has ever operated, and also… this threads feature is so fucking embarrassing, publicly begging the algorithm to change? Omg
Screenshot from TechCrunch 
“On June 16, 2026, Threads launched a new “Your Algo” feature that builds on the platform’s “Dear Algo” tool, which debuted in February. The “Dear Algo” tool lets users influence their feed by publishing a public post, such as “Dear Algo, show me more posts about podcasts,” to indicate the types of content they want to see more or less of in their feed. With the new “Your Algo” feature, users can make those preferences privately, without having to post publicly. “

Screenshot from the New Yorker, interview by Isaac Chotiner with Shimon Rikilin. It reads “I: Putting aside the merits of this war, do you think people such as yourself and the Prime Minister misjudged Donald Trump? I know you said a joyful prayer on the air when he was elected in 2024. You must have had some sense of who this guy is—that he isn’t loyal to anyone, that he had no real core values—

S: Listen, I was really happy when he was elected. I admit it. I think it was good for Israel. And, in the beginning, it was. But today I don’t know what to think. I am really in shock.

I: It’s hard to fathom.

S: I don’t have a lot of moments like this. I don’t remember someone in modern history who would go with you and do wonderful things, and then suddenly disappear and go against you. So now I am the bad guy? I supported you! I was the good guy! How did I become the bad guy, and the Ayatollah is the good guy?

I: This is why I was wondering whether you had ever observed Donald Trump.

S: I don’t know what motivated him. You know he is a Gemini? Geminis are not really ones to say the same things a lot. They change their minds. You know Geminis?

I: Yeah, I’m a Gemini, so don’t be too mean.

S: I’m a Gemini, too. But not like this. I don’t do it to my friends. “

Sorry but you are wrong, and further proving that this classification system as it currently stands is not helpful or clear publichealth.jhu.edu/2025/what-ar...
“Many ultra-processed foods are junk foods, but many others are products that we use all the time to feed our families, and we incorporate them into the meals that we cook every day,” Wolfson says.

Prepackaged whole grain breads, many yogurts, instant oatmeal, and jarred pasta sauces are all ultra-processed foods, but have lower levels of saturated fats and added sugars while still containing a plethora of nutrients that help reduce disease risk. Baked beans, which contain protein, fiber, and minerals like iron and potassium, are ultra-processed, but consumption of beans has been shown to support heart health by lowering cholesterol, improve digestive health through fiber, and help stabilize blood sugar.
