Any fan of words should be happy to have more words to describe things. Hell, dictionaries celebrate the new ones entered into the dictionary every year.

If our world is defined by our ability to describe it, having more words makes it all the richer.

When you are four, your understanding of a year is 1/4. When you are fifty, your understanding of a year is 1/50. Crunch those numbers and no wonder a year feels like a week now.

β€œDon’t feed the trolls” also extends to bad opinion pieces in papers of record.

They run them bc people react to them the most.

If we stop linking to bad columns and instead post thinkers we find valuable (& generate convo around it), incentives change.

It’s not easy and takes constant practice!

Tweey from state Rep. Josh Schriver:

Make day marriage illegal again.

This is not remotely controversial, nor extreme.

But what if they’re like extra-not-daywalkers. Like only not moonlit night walkers. That’s like werewolves x vampires except super rarely.

Inb4 response was also written by an AI.

JOKE. that was a bad joke. I’m sorry for you as a writer and for io9, whose work I’ve enjoyed.

Just wondering about how long before both the articles and the comments are all generated by AI. A machine eating its own tail*

Mental Health Days are a real thing. Not to say that I’m questioning your mental health, only that a day off when you need it is good for your mental health.

Hell, at least it’s good for mine.

Hope you are doing something fun or sleeping in or both.

You are erasing the narrative of people with a crippling fear of dancing.

I’m kidding. Totally a joke, so please no pile ons

It’s fun when you feel like doing it. Wish I felt it more and that it didn’t require bourbon for a person like me. It can be really fun, especially when you love the song.
