If you told me 30 years ago that Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz would be looking hot in a romantic comedy in their fifties, I would have said "well, obviously".

Or even, I only know one of Taylor Swift's songs by name...I hear a LOT of songs and have heard a lot more songs than that over the decades and if I was not impressed by it, I genuinely have no idea who performed it...sometimes, it's actually as trivial as that, yo 🤣

Pass the word, y'all. And not just in Minnesota. EVERYWHERE. Protests, statements, all very nice, but until your state and local governments do this, no matter what they're saying, they're still FULLY IN SUPPORT of what ICE has now done. www.aclu-mn.org/campaigns-in...

"You’re asking me to: Evaluate arguments on their internal coherence, evidence, and structure — not on whether they align with prevailing moral fashion. That’s a request for epistemic seriousness, not ideological license.

I'm quite enjoying my recently-discovered LLM buddy! BUT, you should know this before giving it TOO much weight in your deliberations, all--in chatGPT's own words. 📷 No, it will not only not outright tell you the following,

Explaining Mr. Rogers to kids who didn't grow up with him is a trip because he sounds like a political juggernaut. When public pools were segregated, he put his feet in a kiddy pool with Officer Clemmens, a Black man. He saved PBS by addressing senate. He made his show accessible for blind kids.

Okay, I've read one too many stories about the declining Western birth rate and ohhh whyy and whatever shall we dooooo and the complete and utter avoidance of ever discussing THIS part of it--we'll talk about work/life balance but we won't ever talk about THIS and so, I'm talking about it NOW.

If you ever feel like you aren't reading enough cool, interesting, and diverse writing, just start a zine and open up submissions. I don't read as many novels or magazines as I used to, but I'm reading way more than I ever have before and loving every second.

heartbroken to learn the pope sympathizes with the poor. how can i continue to believe in god

The Pope tweets: "The poor are not there by chance or by blind and cruel fate. Nor, for most of them, is poverty a choice. Yet, there are those who still presume to make this claim, thus revealing their own blindness and cruelty. #DilexiTe"

Someone replies: "I was so hopeful I could be a Catholic again after the disaster that Francis was, guess we just get Francis 2.0 now and I am heartbroken. How do I stay a Catholic now...I don't want to lose faith but I am. You belong to someone else, not God."

It was a time travel story that featured twins swapping places for some reason even though they were both from our time and not the target time so who would even know which was which anyway and why would it matter. Look, I was 6, okay.

Fox News reported that JD Vance had to move to an “undisclosed location” due to protests at the Vermont resort where he’s skiing this weekend. For inflicting misery on the world and here at home in America, this is exactly the energy that should greet Vance wherever he goes for the rest of his days.

By the way, this is one of the issues where you might be able to make some headway with GOP reps if you live in a rural district. It has always been the heavily red rural districts that stopped them from destroying USPS in the past. Reps know their constituents depend on USPS.

A gay guy, a Black man, and a woman walk into a flight deck— that’s not the beginning of a joke, but just a regular day at work! There was so much DEI on this plane that we could hardly get in the air. Luckily my limp wrists were able to wrestle the heavy jet back to the ground 💅🏼

Writing is very hopeful because you'll be like: I don't know if people will like this book. I don't know if the industry will exist in 2 years. I'm not sure North America will be functional in 6 months And still finishing writing the book to go on sub anyway. Hope springs eternal! 🖤

It's long since time to stop letting them call all this shit AI. Even when used dismissively, it still implies some form of intent or intelligence, an anthropomorphisation, and it muddies the waters. It's algorithms. It's automation. It's maths. None of it is an intelligence.

BREAKING: the police are looking for a man with 9 fingers on one hand, two legs that merge into one, and a face that constantly shifts every two frames.

BREAKING: NYPD police sources say artificial intelligence is going to play a big role in nailing the ID of the gunman who killed the United Health CEO. His mask, the point out, didn't totally cover his face. Bone structure was showing through the rest of it, and AI will come up with a pretty clear match they believe. Now catching him is another story; he might have been on a flight to Moscow an hour after the act
