I will say some of the push for AI in writing is how a lot of non-AI writers think the point of writing is to get published and no, the point of writing is to remove the weird little thing from your body and teach it tricks

Me as a marsupial
Cartoon of two kangaroos. One has a Joey in their pouch, and says "have kids! That's why you have a pouch". The other kangaroo with the empty pouch looks down at it. In the next frame, their pouch is filled with popcorn, a piece of which they are munching on.

why is my cat just lounging around with the piercing stare of a successful male model
A small brown and white cat is lounging on a light blue bed. His position is very much like a person reclining on a divan, and he’s looking at the camera with the kind of piercing gaze you see in high fashion photo shoots. In the background, you can see part of his Lambchop toy. In the foreground, a small orange mouse toy, like a casually placed prop.

The profound part of Juneteenth for me is that before this was made a holiday, there was no official celebration of the end of slavery in the United States. When the 13th Amendment passed in December 1865, the legislators who witnessed its enshrinement imagined that the day would be remembered.
