Thank you for your hard work maintaining that list. (I did send you a false positive I found via DM a while back but nothing changed, so I assumed you were just busy). And your restraint is appreciated, whining antis kind of feel like shooting fish in a barrel sometimes lol

with the Olympics coming up, I cannot recommend enough just picking random sports and getting really into them at a moment's notice

did I know anything about women's foil before the last Olympics? I did not

did I become the world's biggest Lee Kiefer fan immediately? absolutely I did

As I get older I only appreciate dedicated municipal workers all the more. Everyone has stories of bad ones and they do suck, but good ones? worth their weight in gold.

Important to know that Armstrong is a reverend and that she and the protesters felt compelled by faith as well their commitment to civil rights.

This is the state choosing which Christians they will support and which part of the 1A they will defend.

Christian nationalism in action.

Things are grim right now but as a reminder of who we are and why we fight, this is the US Women’s figuring skating champion.

recently my friend's comics professor told her that it's acceptable to use gen AI for script-writing but not for art, since a machine can't generate meaningful artistic work. meanwhile, my sister's screenwriting professor said that they can use gen AI for concept art and visualization, but that it won't be able to generate a script that's any good. and at my job, it seems like each department says that AI can be useful in every field except the one that they know best.

It's only ever the jobs we're unfamiliar with that we assume can be replaced with automation. The more attuned we are with certain processes, crafts, and occupations, the more we realize that gen AI will never be able to provide a suitable replacement. The case for its existence relies on our ignorance of the work and skill required to do everything we don't.

Renee Good committed gender insubordination: she didn't cower & grovel to male authority. Many women are killed for the very same reason all over the world. We just call it by the euphemism "domestic violence" instead of what it is: a campaign of political terrorism in which any man can participate.

Catholic Vice President Vance takes to social media to justify killing of Renee Good After the tragic shooting of Renee Good at the hands of ICE, the Catholic vice president of the United States took to social media to justify the killing.

Editorial in the National Catholic Reporter: "The vice president's comments justifying the death of Renee Good are a moral stain on the collective witness of our Catholic faith. His repeated attempts to blame Good for her own death are fundamentally incompatible with the Gospel."

Haha, you saw that too? I had to go and leave kudos, it was great. As at least one comment pointed out, the use of the ΓΆ in coΓΆrdinate is distinctively New Yorker style, and a fantastic little detail.

My mom and I love watching cozy mysteries together, so I have some recs. You might also like Mrs Sidhu Investigates. Just four episodes but since each episode is 90 minutes they can really flesh out the mysteries. Don't blame me if it makes you crave Indian food though πŸ˜‰
