Errors and low quality work? Hmmm. Seems like you could have seen that coming if you did any quality testing of it at all.

Love this. Mostly because it highlights ‘Father Figure’ by phlur, which is the only perfume I’ve worn that has had multiple people ask me ‘what perfume are you wearing? I love it.’ thetastefultwink.substack.com/p/top-bisexu...

Great choices for the leads. (But I am praying they don’t mess up like the old X-files did, and if show lasts long enough, have the leads develop a romantic relationship. )

i worry that men think being A Good Guy is dramatically and heroically intervening on behalf of an endangered woman and then being publicly rewarded on a grand scale when actually being A Good Guy is just usually saying, “hey man that’s not funny” or “wow that’s fucked up” and there is no reward

Yes, it was nice to see #gh writers address this as a part of Charlotte’s scheme to fake an inappropriate relationship with a grown man.

When I worked in technology development in industry, it was drilled into us that feeding our confidential info, data, or IP into public AI systems was pretty much the same as giving it away/disclosing it publicly. At the time, I was surprised how many ostensibly tech savvy people didn’t know that.

Made it to Winnipeg tonight. Everyone I’ve interacted with has been so lovely. I can’t believe the US is burning our relationship with them to the ground.

I am not surprised about #YR losing viewers. Hire me as head writer and I could craft a script that is true to Victor without this asanine shallow Jack/all Abbott hating thing. His bit is repetitive and been super boring for years now.

Instead of mourning great art tainted by awful men, mourn the work we lost from their victims
Some sexual abusers made great art. Countless more of their victims never got the chance.

I wish, for a moment, Bernie bros would pause and understand why that moniker exists and recognize how their real sexism and racism repeatedly fucks all of us over. But they usually lose their shit at the first whiff of that criticism.

21st century America is a multiracial democracy whose commerce, culture and cuisine reflect the influence of immigrants from every country on earth. The only people seemingly unable to assimilate into this society are white Republicans.

Lynda Barry did not squeeze your heart and simultaneously explain the point of all art with the barest of line drawings so you could tell me that AI is "inevitable."
HOW TO LOOK AT ART by Lynda Barry

In the first panel, a dog-headed woman, a mother, looks at a painting in the "Madonna with Baby Jesus" vein. A small blobby child is standing next to her.

Mother: IM NOT SURE HOW TO LOOK AT ART.
Child: WHATS SPOSTA HAPPEN?

In the second panel the dog-headed mother holds up her hands (paws?) trying to explain to the child.

Mother: SOMETHING BIG. A REVELATION.
SUDDENLY YOU JUST UNDERSTAND.

In the third panel dog-headed mother goes back to looking at the painting. The child holds up their arms to be lifted.

Mother: NOT SURE HOW TO MAKE IT HAPPEN
Child: HOW BOUT LIFT ME UP SO I CAN SEE BETTER

In the last panel, the dog-headed mother is holding the child, their position mirrored by the Madonna and baby Jesus in the painting.

Got the list of fellow travelers for my tour group next month. It’s pretty typical. Sometimes I am the only single traveler but most of the time there are others. But I find it interesting that I still have NEVER been in a group where any of the single travelers are men.

As a single woman in my 50s, friends ask if I would be interested in a relationship and I hmm and haw and brush it off as ‘if i met the right person’ when I mean ‘no’. But if a guy like this (tall/artistic:comfortable with his emotions) was interested in me, I might reconsider.
