What if we kissed at the Dolphin Pasta Buffet?
A dolphin peers through a ship window at a table laden with those disposal metal trays of various kinds of pasta and sauce. The dolphin looks curious, as if they’re saying, “Hey, what’s happening on this side?”

Scientists, I know y’all are busy turning lead into gold or whatever but can somebody work on making a cat toy that doesn’t do this? Like with, I don’t know, magnets or something?
A pair of carbon fiber rods with nylon strings (for entertaining cats) have become entangled in a formidable knot.

So seldom is there a story about Musk that bothers to mention the fact that DOGE is an fake agency, it has no legitimate claim to power, and thus it has no real head, every act it undertakes is automatically illegal and corrupt, and all of its "employees" are criminals.

Touching 1966 photo of supermodel Twiggy at home with her long-haired tuxedo kitty. The swingin' details are a delight: the wicker saucer chair with the clown doll, the radio and phonograph, the boxy little purse, the sewing basket and shag throw rug. #Caturday
Twiggy is standing with her cat held close to her shoulder, and she is resting her head lightly against the kitty with great love. Photo: Burt Glinn (b&w)

This quote from Grammarly’s head of education should include a guy in a hot dog costume next to it. www.wsj.com/tech/persona...
Jenny Maxwell, Grammarly’s head of education, says the fear around AI use in schools is causing students to spend a lot of extra time rewriting to sound more human. More than 500,000 people use Grammarly’s AI and plagiarism detection tool each week, and the majority are students, a spokeswoman says.
These days, Maxwell says, it’s a “police state of writing.”

A question that will be at least as important as how to reclaim political power in America will be how to convince people to go back to acting in their own interests. A significant number of Americans look at what’s happening right now, the lawlessness the corruption, and don’t see a problem.

Even if it's true, it's hard to go out there and say "Gaza didn't sway the election" because people often interpret it as saying "Gaza doesn't matter" when the point you're actually making is "people suck."

I listened to the audiobook of Barbra Streisand's autobiography... mainly because Babs herself reads it aloud! 15 hours of La Streisand talking about her epic career & life & lovers, with many asides and additional comments from her. Great stuff. And Bezos wants to replace this with fucking AI?
