That was hands down the best halftime show ever. It was filled with so many references to Puerto Rican culture and history. The sugarcane fields, the casita, the streets of NYC, and the power lines. All of it resonated so much. Boricua por siempre. Seguimos aquí. 🇵🇷

Freelance illustration gigs drying up. Ad agencies using Midjourney instead of hiring human artists. Costume design turned over to AI wholesale. Good work vanishing. These are the stories of working visual artists, who describe losing jobs, wages, and hope as their clients and bosses embrace AI.

In Europe there are high-speed rail trainsets that are faster than anything in the US that have been abandoned because they’re outdated.

Apparently technically being “stored,” but vandalized and overgrown with weeds.

This is Bug. He would like to be picked up for cuddles. It is an emergency. 13/10 (IG: bugthebrusselsgriffon)

a teensy brown ball of fluff sits on a gray tile floor and looks up at the camera. the dog’s eyes are wide-set and pleading, and his little mouth curves down in a dramatic frown. his little body only takes up one half of one tile, and it looks like he could be swallowed up by shadows any second. pick him up!

Has anyone seen non luxury apartments being built in their neighborhood? I'm not talking townhomes k, just an apt building without a dog spa or a gym. Can we go back to when apts didn't require those things and could automatically have lower costs

Learning to drive after the amygdala has fully formed requires you to routinely gaslight yourself into pretending this isn't the most insane and dangerous practice we do daily. How do people let their kids behind the wheel of a car, but somehow are shocked that I was taking the subway at 14.

I'm forever hoping I'll be able to be a first time home buyer in my family. But these real estate apps need a search section for homes with real wood floors. Cause the shoddy flip jobs for older apt buildings hurts my soul. Why would u put vinyl over parquet?!

Got my first "Violating an Executive Order" and "I'll make sure you lose federal funding" parent threat today for teaching "DEI" books in our upcoming "Liberty and Justice" themed unit. Even in "Blue" Massachusetts we're dealing with this. Anyway, don't obey in advance, and don't obey later.

The threat of ICE has tons of people on high alert, the result is claims of ICE seen without firm or specific info people can actually use — & sometimes, no ICE at all. It’s never “ICE spotted in Queens,” but “4 SUVs labeled DHS seen parked on 57th & 59th in Maspeth at 2:34pm.” Be specific!

Spread Information not panic
When reporting or signal boosting potential threats: provide as much information as possible!

I propose that cover letters should no longer matter - you don't read them and everyone seems to use AI to write them. Instead we should have short answer questions so everyone gets what they want.
