Just…trying to Google reviews of a book. And 75% of the results screen was this.

How much more low-effort can you get? The tease, then the “payoff.”

If it wasn’t for the fact that cities have lots of people, they would be villages. Hamlets even.

Am I the only one wondering if this piece ended abruptly? It felt like you were winding up for another thought/conclusion.

Screenshot of NYT op-ed, final paragraph: Reading the book, I wasn't that scandalized. The husband doesn't come off great. But part of being a feminist is that if you want to marry a guy like that, there's nothing wrong with it.

Love living in a place where the federal government sends out alerts like this with all the casualness of announcing a temporary lane closure

Man, haters gonna hate but sometimes I do like this app and the strange conversations I stumble upon

I, for one, am not very interested in the perspective of the “average American” about the geopolitical or economic implications of our country kidnapping the head of state of another sovereign nation. Why does the analysis of Steve in Ames, Iowa or Betty in Tuscaloosa, AL have any relevance?

Snapped a photo of this at my local B&N to bookmark it for payday (tomorrow). Excited to read!

Clicked the link to “learn more,” and it was a bunch of nothing. So, I’m guessing it’s “we’re laying off 90% of our staff and outsourcing everything to a shitty AI scheme.” #ai

Similar energy as when I write a little essay about something and run it by my friends first before submitting it for publication

New York Times headline reading “President Trump drafted a letter to fire Jerome Powell, the Fed chair, and asked Republicans if he should send it.”

We are not on the brink of, on the verge of, nor are we slipping/sliding towards, flirting with or bordering on fascist authoritarianism. It is here. Act accordingly.

Guess who forgot to mention what book he was talking about?

Never forget that, in addition to being cruel, vile monsters, these people are also gobsmackingly stupid

Almost every app sucks and if you’re lucky enough to find one that doesn’t, it eventually starts sucking more and more until it just…stops existing. Another one bites the dust.

Well that’s a depressing little bit of sponsored content on the listing for a biography of Isaac Asimov.

What if, instead of using tortured euphemistic language, we simply said “Two American children?” “Children with U.S. citizenship” reads like there’s some sort of dispute. There’s not. Two Americans were deported.

Quote from NYT article: Mr. Prada’s disappearance has created concerns that more immigrants have been deported to El Salvador than previously known. It also raises the question of whether some deportees may have been sent to other countries with no record of it. The U.S. authorities have confirmed that he was removed from the United States. But to where?

Seeing the “American” foods on shelves in the UK may be one of my favorite parts of my trip there a couple years ago!

Passive voice for me, but not for thee

Text from a news article reading: "At that point, there were some commands given, multiple commands to drop the gun, drop the weapon. Unfortunately, it did result in an officer-involved shooting," she said.
Aguilar said that police body-worn police camera had not provided "a clear view of what she did with that firearm" and that it was "not clear if she fired at officers or not."

If a single headline can cause a $2.4 trillion swing in the market, maybe, I dunno, a “confidence and vibes”-based economic system isn’t the best way for us to do things?
