It could have been any number of forums, but I’ll go for Making Light, because l think that was the incident where Abi gave a very soft response to a guy of that sort.

Does “The Maple Leaf Dog” count? I still use it as a mnemonic for Canadian Prime Ministers.

That looks like Funeral Potatoes only better, so it’s probably perfect for Thanksgiving Dinner.

In some cases he was already lining up buyers. I want every one of them to be prosecuted as a full-scale criminal.

The Brazilian President says he’s too busy to talk to Trump about a 50% tariff. World laughed at this the first time; now more likely to roll eyes, get back to work.

More extreme heat in southern Arizona. There are disoriented, possibly dying birds in my yard. These are species that normally summer here. TV broadcasters say daily that today isn’t the hottest on record. I know that, I’m from here, and this is not the same. Hey Dubya, how’s your AC?

Singer-songwriter, guy named Jesse Wells, hell of a talent. Have to run, Patrick’s griping that I left him in the middle of song.

This after Musk’s vandals stole all the tax records. They have zero respect.

Trump likes hurting vulnerable groups if the rest of us aren’t doing what he wants. He doesn’t tolerate quiet withdrawal.

Bleep pandering. I love Pritzger for the same reason I love Rick Wilson, Bernie Sanders, and AOC: they fight.

As in “Oh look, it’s the Worldcon not making the same error it made last year.” It’s very inventive. I never imagined I’d be saying “Jarvis is a fictional character” so often.

100% this. That's the deal. "#Pride isn't about turning straight kids into queer kids. Pride is about not turning queer kids into dead kids."

It helps to know how language works. “Applied statistics” is a better term. I’d probably have called it ceremonial magic that runs on boredom and clichés.

I increasingly believe that AI text generation start-ups are run by people who mean well, but don’t understand nearly as much about language (especially the written sort) as they think they do. We will not see robot authors.

Trump’s lawyer Evan Corcoran was so afraid he would get in legal trouble himself that he made lengthy notes and audio recollections of all their interactions. Because Trump tried to use Corcoran to obstruct justice, those notes and recordings are now in Jack Smith’s hands. Welp.

That was endemic at Twitter, the Genie SFRT, Usenet, and in primordial hardcopy publications.

Using “invitation only” as a short-term strategy can help transplant social connections and conversations, but long term it’s damaging/limiting, because social networks don’t form at random
