Not only is DC dealing with taxation without representation, they are now going to have to deal with occupation without representation.

Our fellow citizens deserve better. They always have.

“capital put under armed occupation because regime henchman named Big Balls got the absolute piss beaten out of him by a child” would probably get cut from a Zucker brothers movie script

Your student has excellent taste 😄 Olivia has become an auto-buy author for me - I would not normally read anything with zombies these days, but I loved her approach. Highly recommend for a (dare I call it?) joyful read!

Genuinely tempted to suggest Zomromcom to my neighborhood book group, @oliviawrites.bsky.social, if only so I can see my neighbors' faces when I ask them those questions 😂

And you did, lol 😂

Thanks to the magic of Bluesky, I jumped from the first post to this one, and I was IN for the whole ride.

Holy shit.

"PhD-level experts in your back pocket" is a completely nonsensical description of AI but a pretty good description of social media if you follow the right people

My niece has type 1 diabetes, and I am so hopeful. This is really promising ❤️

That feels so right.

It'S All Going According To Plan... GIF Alt: Patrick Star rubs his hands together with a smug expression on his face

Ok, that is only 45 mins from my dad's house, so...

Please tell me where, because I might need to venture in search of this next time I'm home 😍

Give me your emojis, and your weird quirks of phrasing, and -yes! - all of your em-dashes and parentheticals. Season it with a few obscure pop culture references, and trust me to cackle over them.

As the piece notes, the PragerU propaganda is being used in schools in Louisiana, Florida, New Hampshire, Oklahoma, Montana, Arizona, South Carolina and Idaho.

Check with your district to see if they're using this garbage to brainwash your kids.

I heard there was a secret 'b'
Hidden inside a 'blueberry'
But you don't really care for GPT do ya
It goes like this: a 'b' at first, and fourth and sixth,
Whoops, minor error; purported fix,
My AI reinventing "blubeberry"

We're holding a celebration of public transit/benefit show & looking for SEPTA employees who also have a fun skill they'd like to show off. Do you know a bus driver who can play a musical instrument? Do you know a rail machinist who can juggle? Send em my way! gettingbare.eventbrite.com

Going to channel John Kruk's words of wisdom a bunch in this academic year:

"You can use this 2-letter word...I use it often:

'No.'"

new rule: if your opinion column’s premise can be answered immediately with the word “no” you aren’t allowed to write it

That is very true 😂

Mary Shelley doesn't get enough credit for not only anticipating the silver-spooned narcissist techbro who recklessly creates technology without thinking through the consequences, but also for knowing that said techbro would be an absolutely terrible father.

Gonna hope she means carbonated water instead of pool water, lol

I think we're all a little better informed now 😂

That's it! I kept calling it He-Man hair throughout the game, but that is absolutely Darren Daulton hair.

I really, really want to visit the Franklin Institute with John Kruk. #Phillies

"The Kyle is booming."

That fan sign is so NBC Philly specific, and I love it.

(This Phillies game has been a lot of fun to watch!)

I know I said to politicize the hell out of my death if I become a victim of gun violence, but don't you dare create a soulless AI rendering of me to do so.

Try it, and I will curse you to a lifetime of stepping on Legos and bumping into the edges of furniture.
