Fuck ChatGPT flyers. The future is broadsheets.
A crowded broadsheet with way too many fonts. It says:
Forget ChatGPT Flyers
Say it with 
Broadsheets
Unlimited fonts
Stretch them
Or cram a really long sentence into one line for no good reason
No whitespace
Mix capital and lowercase
Pointing hands
(They're called manicules!)
Don't be left behind
Broadsheets are the future

If you’re on the fence about getting knee injections, do it. I had an especially difficult time getting them (passed out- twice, needed a cane for a couple days, extremely uncomfortable all around) and a week out, it is already worth it. I’m getting out of chairs more easily than I have in years!

They’re milking us dry and you’re cheering them on. I’d so much rather my tax dollars go to the people who are struggling than the people manufacturing the struggle. We’d both be better off in a world without billionaires.

Cis people do not understand how much trans people's rights have regressed in just 5 years. 5 years ago, there were none of these restrictions. 19 states banned legal recognition 21 states have bathroom bans 8 states ban gender marker changes on DLs 25 ban gender affirming care for trans youth

You’ve gotta use AI because it’s the future. But also it’ll take your job. But also it’ll create a paradise on earth and solve most of our problems. But also it’ll end humanity soon. But also you’ll get left behind if you don’t use it right now.

That particular university is far more interested in protecting its image than doing the right thing, even when the latter would help the former. But that’s true of an unfortunately large percentage of all institutions.

When you have an abundance of very ripe tomatoes but no energy to deal with them on account of being sick, the dehydrator is your friend. All you gotta do is slice them up, spread them out, and plug it in.
Before: slices of juicy yellow orange tomato on stacked dehydrator traysAfter: dried out slices of red and orange tomatoes on paper towels, ready to be used in place of sun dried tomatoes (planning to store dry instead of pack in oil because botulism)

The diarrhea lettuce company, Taylor Farms, uses slave labor contracted from the Arizona Dept. of Corrections. The backbreaking labor is often performed by imprisoned Mexican nationals who would be otherwise ineligble to work in the US. They are paid $1.50 an hour.

The Diarrhea Lettuce Company Has Been Linked to Forced Labor
The lettuce-producing Taylor Farms was linked to the widespread use of prison labor before its involvement in a cyclospora outbreak.
