I want the job where all the collagen companies come to me to make their pitch as to why THEY should be the Official Collagen Partner of the U.S. Open Mixed Doubles Championship. I want nothing to do with the singles or other doubles championships, though. Mixed is where it's at.

A blog called "Why Evolution Is True" is definitely an independent source.

If enough people report getting turned on by listening to Ben Shapiro, will YouTube shut him down?

"We need to back moderate candidates who can reach across the aisle" is the D equivalent of trickle-down theory for the Rs. Proven time and again to not work but you just keep playing that saw.

I'm a steppie and our 10 year old has never been to a fast food restaurant. When I get a hankering for a burger, we go on another fry adventure. She now knows the difference between McD, BK, Wendy's, Arby's fries. Plus I "have to" order the kid's meal so she gets the toy. Everybody wins.

So because of Gaiman, Prime shoves 6 episodes into 90 minutes and Rachel Talalay gets kicked for it? Makes sense.

You're not the only source of news so I'm really curious why you think you can just substitute your preferred reality like this without getting called out. Did a focus group assure you NYT readers are gullible?

A guy in the expensive seats at Indian Wells was heckling Sinner over his doubles loss. During a singles match. For those who don't speak tennis: that's not normal at all.

I wrote one back in 2017 re: my experience growing up as a tomboy in the 70s/transitioning in my 40s. Even got a nice note back explaining they had just selected another piece on the same topic. Day or two later: Lisa Selin Davis' "My daughter is a tomboy" was printed. So much for both sides.

I'm fascinated by how this editorial refuses the agency or motives of the purveyor in the equation entirely. More options = higher appeal, longer prep time per serving = longer lines/signaling theory. You're in line for coffee because you chose to be, like everyone else in the line. Shut up.

there's a thing I like to call "load-bearing assumptions", that you don't notice until they're suddenly gone (e.g the air you breath has oxygen in it). the post-ww2 order is a load-bearing assumption for basically the entirety of american life. trump took a sledgehammer to it in the last 90 days.

How much are they taking if it's daily? Must be a low dose pill. Or such a small amount by injection that there's a lot left in each "one use" vial. Either way I'm thinking we transmascs just need to get a group of such friends around us for sharesies.

AI is auto-tune for karaoke. It's paint-by-numbers. It's colorforms. AI is Guitar Hero. It's as creative as a book of Mad Libs and as original as the results of an afternoon sip and paint. AI is the Lincoln Log cabin of design. It is the digital gentrification of human thought and originality.

"Help find lost dogs" was definitely not the only pitch seriously considered by a marketing dept brainstorming an AI security ad campaign, but I'm pretty sure the geniuses signing the checks thought it was the most wholesome and above reproach.
