Part of being an adult and having adult relationships is being able to accept that your partner is a different person form you and that you aren't always going to be the only focal point of their attention and that's okay. Getting worried about that seems really immature and insecure.

The image is of a four panel comic.
The first panel shows Sarah, the protagonist, holding a red ball labeled "A SILLY MEME".
The second panel shows Sarah taking the ball and going through a door labeled "GROUP CHAT".
The third panel shows a group of women sitting together and consoling one woman in the center. The woman in the center is saying "...And that's how it happened. It's been the worst day of my life."
The fourth panel shows Sarah standing in the doorway behind them awkwardly holding the red ball.

Omigod, this is the most heartwarming story possible! Backpack (bear 89) is the son of the 2019 winner of Fat Bear Week, Holly (bear 435). In 2007, he injured his foot & a practice of riding on momma's Holly's back had a new meaning: he was mobility-restricted while it healed. So Holly moved him.
From DISCVR blog's Facebook page, a momma bear & a yearling cub on her back in the shallow water.  I think the background has been swapped out, and I can't rule out some AI use there?  God, Facebook has become the social media for AI slop : (

The title of the article, which I link below, is "How Bear 89 earned the name Backpack"

I really wish there was more civic discourse about Drexel, and Penn, and Temple, being shitty community members. Drexel just trying to vaporize a civic insty-tution that should be there for future generations of Philly kids.

Illustration of a Standard-winged Nightjar doing a display flight in front of a big beautiful glowing full moon. The nightjar, a mottled gray/brown/white bird, has long pointed wingtips, a short stubby beak, and a big black eye. It is flying with wings bent low in an upside-down U shape while wiggling its strange "standards" - elongated huge shiny black primaries that bend upward from the wings and look like black pointed flags.

Every time a discourse kicks off over whether AI music, literature or art will be "as good as" the real thing, I'm always amazed more people don't cite that **there already are** creative pursuits where human-free spectacles have been available for decades, and nobody has ever wanted to watch them.

Seriously just enforce normal liability for AI on the owners and so much of this shit goes away AI companies want to be treated like the hired expert when it comes to pocketing any financial flows, but like a cursory Google Search whenever it comes to liability

In retrospect, I feel like a lot of places saw giving campus groups permission to do the Clothesline Project and Vagina Monologues and Take Back the Night as a small price for avoiding systemic change. What we needed--need--was a massive reckoning.

I literally don’t know a single woman who hasn’t been raped, stalked, groped, harassed, or sexually violated in some way at some point in their life. If you choose to doubt and dox survivors, just know every woman in your life is disgusted by you.

Someone at work once asked me what my guilty pleasure was and I immediately shot back “pleasure never makes me feel guilty.” I’ve seldom felt cooler than I did in that moment. Literally one minute later I tripped on an extension cord and hit my head on a whiteboard in front of the entire office

How many times must we say this? AI* software does not “go rogue” any more than your printer “got religion” when it stopped working Sunday. Software does not have intent or agency. People do. And this feels like some people might be exposed to liability. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/29/t...
Months before OpenAI’s artificial intelligence went rogue, two employees raised an alarm with top executives. They were ignored.

In emails, the employees said they worried that OpenAI’s newest artificial intelligence models were not being appropriately monitored during testing to gauge the technology’s sophistication and to secure the models, according to messages viewed by The New York Times.

Also because I know I have a lot of people over here who follow me but are not necessarily part of romance, I want to tell everyone that Tessa Dare writes more neurodivergent characters than you can shake a stick at. They're rarely diagnosed on page because of the time period but they're amazing.

Currently browsing my Recipes from Rome cookbook - we’ve eaten at this restaurant!!! I did not have the tomatoes, but maybe in a couple of weeks 🤞🤞🤞
Wilted Tomatoes

In the heart of the old Jewish ghetto in Rome at La Taverna del Ghetto, we were served a plate of warm, sloppy, shrivelled tomatoes and a basket of bread.

It's not Mattingly's fault that the Phillies went down with Duran on the mount while they were trying to have him get 6 (9?) outs. It is extremely Don Mattingly's fault that the rest of their bullpen was completely gassed and they needed to try to get 6 (9?) outs from Don Mattingly.
