I first read that as β€œHydrox” as in the more crunchy alternative Oreo and somehow it still made sense.

Turns out one of the biggest beneficiaries of #ChatGPT has been #phishing and #malware industry. These are some of the most well written emails I’m getting these days. Gone is the broken grammar, misspellings and subject-verb tense errors.

BTW - PNK S1, LLC is a subsidiary of PNK Group, an international industrial real‑estate developer, and not as an individually owned, stand‑alone company. PNK Group itself is widely reported as being owned/founded by Russian businessman Andrey Sharkov, who is identified as the owner of PNK Group.

That dude who owns that place is not representative. He’s liberal by some local standards.

I’m absolutely flabbergasted by how popular this game has become. It went from β€œwhat’s a mahjong” to β€œwould you guys like to join our mahjong couples group” in only a few months.

Thank you Holly.

You articulated so well the angst I’ve been holding, particularly this: β€œThe irony that all the people I am judging are the same people who practically invented judging doesn’t give me any satisfaction.”

In other news, the new season of "The Lincoln Lawyer" was great. (Okay, the resolution at the end was a smidge rushed.) Also, it had an intricate plot and lots of cool dialogue, unlike Pluribus

OH YEAH

Some of y’all focus way too much time on substitutionary atonement and not enough time on what the guy actually said and did 2006 years ago.

🎼 Well, I met a girl in West Hollywood
But I ain’t naming names
But she really worked me over good
She was just like Jesse James
She really worked me over good
She was a credit to her gender
She put me through some changes, Lord
Sort of like a Waring blender…”
