So much trash on DLSD this morning! Also someone dumped a refrigerator and a stove.

I am very annoyed at the equivalence made here between the IT modernization needs of city government and the imagined potential utility of AI-aided workflows in municipal work. You can't just throw AI at an IT modernization effort and get the modernization effort to work. It doesn't work like that.

You can just, like, go sit at the bar at Pequods, and have a pizza for lunch all by yourself, and it's great.

The new bus lane has already attracted a Tesla, much like shit attracts flies.

Trump historically wore Brioni, an Italian luxury company that makes suits in Italy. Here he flashes a Jos. A Bank label, a US company that long offshored its production to China and Bangladesh. They carry an associated label called Joseph Abboud, which is made in US. Curious he didn't choose that.
Donald Trump in a navy suit. He's opening the jacket, so you can see the label. A close up of the suit label says Jos. A. Bank.

You can’t do this. Pizza Soup. You can’t just put two separate nouns together and say hey, this is a whole new thing, I put it in a bag for you. People shouldn’t do such things.

Three panel comic. Panel 1: on the set of the Jerry Springer show, a man sits in a chair. Jerry signals off-stage and says, “we have with us: your ancestor who crawled out of the ocean 375 million years ago!” Panel 2: the live studio audience is booing. Panel 3: security attempts to break up a fight between the man on stage, and his ancestor, a tiktaalik.

When I went on WBEZ Reset in 2024 to talk about the Leave the Seat Empty photo project, I was asked about my favorite building I had documented prior to demolition. The one that came to mind was much like this - one that wasn't particularly notable, vernacular, scrambled by decades of modifications.

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

This is true. In 2016, I got into an argument with a gay man on a menswear forum. I've since made it my mission to make every man dress gay, thereby destroying his ability to tell who is actually gay and, ultimately, his chances of finding love. I built my social media following to achieve that goal
Someone on Twitter writes to me: "People should follow your advise if they want to look gay."

While listening to council meetings in Montreal, local mayor Sue Montgomery decided to knit in red when men spoke and in green when women spoke, when similar numbers of both attended. Day 1 results.... #WomensArt

One of my favorite cases of someone being Wrong on the Internet was a very earnest, very confused vegan who was telling people how cruel honey is; and it eventually turned out they thought honey was made by putting bees in a centrifuge and spinning them around until they threw up.

Doctors say more women are asking about nonhormonal forms of birth control. Yet for decades in the U.S., only one copper IUD has been available — while some other countries have approved more than a dozen.
