I get something that might be worse in that relaxing itself is something that stresses me out because of what I’m not doing when I’m relaxing.

healthy society we have here

Here are some qualitative analyses. Growing up in the 1980s my middle class family flew maybe once a year. Going out to eat even for fast food was an unusual extravagance. Pizza hut advertised itself as an upscale place to go out. We did not have any of the wide varieties of ethnic food. Furniture1/

Panera’s moderately caffeinated lemonade was loosely associated with 2 deaths before it was taken off market.

This article alone has 4 examples of ChatGPT encouraging young people to commit suicide, and OpenAI’s own public stats estimate over a million users discuss suicide with ChatGPT each week.

10/10 take. No notes.

Sometimes I see people like 20 tweets deep into an argument with Grok. Like, what are you doing brother? You are trying to win an argument with a vending machine.

Every day I'm reminded that I did the right thing by cancelling my @nytimes.com subscription

Husband just bought me a cardigan with a horse on it because I said I liked it. Happy Sunday 💞

Anyone who has experience in an abusive household, or who has worked with people in them, or has read a lot about them, will be familiar with a particular dynamic:

Dad is full of loud passions & intense moods, sweeping through like a thunderstorm, unpredictable, volatile, often violent. He is ...

Quick question: what the fuck is anyone talking about anymore

However much you, a politically engaged person, think the average American knows about what's going on, I can promise you: it's way less than that. No matter how low your estimation. It's lower than that.

i think if you ride public transit enough you learn that most weird behavior is not dangerous, and conversely i think driving a car teaches you that everyone is trying to kill you at all times

I mostly stopped paying attention to baseball this year once both Chicago Baseballs were eliminated, but I'm otherwise pretty happy either the Baseballs or the Baseballs will win the big baseball

Like when someone gets on TV and says a trainer is 3-for-5 in the last 26 months with horses coming off a 45-55 day layoff racing between 6 and 6.5 furlongs on the turf with rider XYZ and wants a pat on the back for digging that up.

A Google search prompt for slow roasted carrots air fryer AI overview says "there is no such thing as 'slow-roasted' carrots in an air fryer, because the appliance cooks much faster than a conventional oven."

almost a lead pipe cinch that if somebody says "i was canceled" they were not canceled and are just sort of an unpleasant person to be around

Good thread about airports. Be considerate of others and be nice. Pretty much that simple.

No, I mean right now. Go tell someone you loved their work right now. They're on social media just say it, it has never been easier

"They know how much people love--" no they don't go say it right now to a composer or artist or game dev or writer or anyone AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH
