A cat-loving lesbian knitter and gardener with a PhD. A walking stereotype. Except I'm not.

After hearing mysterious thumps in the night, I woke up this morning to find a kitchen floor strewn with avocados.

If a transwoman had dared to wash her hands in the same bathroom as the Secretary of Agriculture, they'd have the police brought in. But let's all guffaw at the antics of a sexual predator. Disgusting.

I don’t own individual stocks, and I won’t own them as governor. The only thing I am invested in is lowering costs for Ohioans. Vivek Ramaswamy has over $5 million invested in the data center industry and millions more in many other industries that Ohio’s governor would be in charge of regulating.

This thread is giving my pedantic soul life today. It's also is bringing back fond memories of drinking with friends in grad school.

Your 14 word post led me through shock, anger, disappointment, befuddlement, and finally, laughter. (Although a little befuddlement remains.) Thank you.

Honestly, this is one reason I don't have kids. Food is a glorious thing, full of taste, fragrance, and visual beauty. I love the history, nostalgia and cultural significance of dishes and the community brought together over a meal. But do we really need to figure out how to do it every damn day?

Just an hour ago, I told the orange boy swatting me from the counter that it wasn't time for second breakfast yet, and my wife said, "Already had it. He's asking for third."

Growing up, it was always exciting to see what was in the Country Crock container in the fridge. Mom passed away this summer, and I'm totally not throwing out the cannister of used twist ties nor the drawer of empty bread bags.

We have the same tunnel and the same rug, which I believe is from the Wash that Piss Right Outta Your Rug collection for pet parents, no? (Those are the only rugs we have anymore).

This is such an iconic cat look. I always wonder what our cats are thinking when they get this look.

Those must be teeny tiny boxes to fit such a teeny tiny baby kitten. Does each box only hold one can of Spike's food?

Maybe it's just me, but I'm seeing a pattern in who is asking these challenging questions and being abused in response. But I guess it's just me since none of the other reporters seem to notice it or say anything about it but instead parrot what the party in power says about protecting women. Hmm.

I remember vividly when I saw it in the theatre and being struck by that beautiful white dress and what a burden it was in the long grass. HBC's awkward trudging toward love and freedom while dragging/being dragged by that skirt said it all without a word.

Exactly! Puss and Muffin sound like kindred spirits. One night we had a party. Puss stomped down the stairs and into the middle of the living room. Everyone backed up in terror. She hissed viciously around the entire room, making eye contact with each poor soul, then stomped back upstairs.

Picked this of the many "AI is down posts" to repost because it literally took the words out of my mouth. Now, if all the AI could just stay down until the end of the semester.

We once decided that our cranky old calico's autobiography was going to be titled, "Enter Hissing." She's been gone a few years now, so maybe now that needs to be my autobiography.

I remember as a kid thinking there were two separate words: "intrigged," which I heard people say, but also "intri-gyooed," which I read in books, mainly Nancy Drew, who was frequently intri-gyooed. It was a huge eureka moment when I realized they were the same word. Also a youreeka moment.

Photo of a part of the sticker wall, near the gum wall in Seattle. A large glued poster of a cat holding a sign reads, “A.I. IS DẠTA

CREATIVITY IS TRYING TO SEE WHERE WE CAN GO.”

I see this sentiment a lot from younger progressives as well. Especially from the kind of young white male liberal who yells that we can’t have another female nominee.

Awwwww, they're so sweet. It's still a huge challenge getting Patti into a carrier. She is sweet and likes to be petted, but not to be picked up. We've had to postpone many a vet appt because she slipped away and hid when we tried to get her in the carrier.

We first found her sheltering from the snow in a cold frame. She outsmarted our traps until summer, so she spent at least one Ohio winter outside. She was already spayed, meaning she once had a home, but no one responded to our many posts. That was 4 years ago.

Aww, pretty girl. She looks like our Patti, who is much happier on this side of the window.

We trapped and adopted the calico who was wandering our neighborhood for 2 years. She has absolutely no interest in going outside again. She knows she's better off inside with us.

I've spent years arguing against so-called Generational Theory (which ain't a theory, btw), but perhaps now I'll just ask, when you say boomer, you talking about Dolly, Tim, or that other one born in 1946? Explain to me again how they're all the same because they were born the same year.

Not the main takeaway from these letters, but couldn't help but notice that she uses the same Germanic capitalization of nouns that her idol does. So is she copying him so she can post to sound like him, or was that her all along?

I spent 3/4 of my career working in teaching/learning centers. This story is not at all surprising but still heartbreaking and infuriating. I've seen the irrational claims about blogs, wikis, second life, MOOCs, etc., come and go in higher ed. You are one of the few writers on AI who keeps me sane.

OMG, Second Life. I almost successfully blocked that out. One school where I worked wasted a year building a virtual financial aid office so students could send their avatars to talk with the financial aid advisor's avatar, which absolutely no students did. So, more work for the staff for nothing.
