The headline of the article reads "Tennessee executes inmate by lethal injection without deactivating his implanted defibrillator" along with a picture of Tennessee governor Bill Lee laughing and smiling.

Absolutely incredible photo to go alongside this gut-wrenching headline.

If there's one thing you need when you're innocent, it's an entire official event/meeting with all your guys in order to discuss strategies for explaining how innocent you are without having to show how innocent you are.

I don't know this story, but I would not be greatly surprised to find out that you are in fact married to them.

The Em Dash Responds to the AI Allegations โ€œIn recent months, a curious fixation has emerged in corners of academia: the em dash. More specifically, the apparent moral panic around how it is...

still thinking about the Montana knife maker who said you don't have to worry about tariffs if you buy american. and then three months later, he realized he imports swedish steel and german equipment. and even MiUSA equipment costs $100k more now because of tariffs

Yeah, like I say, problematic in a number of ways, mainly reducing relationships to a completely transactional nature.

Just noting that your suggestion is in there. He's SO CLOSE in a couple of places.

Not to defend the essay, because I think it's problematic in a number of ways, but this is a direct quote from it:

"There is a technique to talking to women which is far more effective. It is called: treat them like a fucking human being. "

looked up the clip just because sometimes people change his words for captions that end up innocently reshared, but upon finding it decided to share the video because hearing him say it makes it 1000% more definitely true and everyone will listen/believe more than reading it written out

Look. I don't want to sound ungrateful.

Roy Cooper was a fine governor. He probably would have been great, even, if not opposed by a GOP Supermajority.

I'm sure he'd be a good Senator. I will vote for him.

But can we have candidates for office that are maybe not older than retirement age?

Lemme do you one better you gross, fantasizing predators: the average age for first marriage has never been below 20 for women in *Englandโ€™s recorded history.* Iโ€™m talking 1550. Even pre-1400, though large data sources are trickier. Weird royal exceptions were not enough to affect the average age.

Everyone is celebrating him for his (obviously wonderful) songs but I am also celebrating him for releasing all his works into the public domain and insisting he retained no copyrights over any of it.

I fell like people do not fully understand how much life changed for our species between 1900 and 2000.

I still struggle to comprehend it.

These events are 66 years apart.

I always feel like media outlets are mostly just jealous of and don't really understand how and why memes spread quickly and mostly they're just softly whinging "but look at meeeeeeee" when they do shit like that.

Also: It's spreading via meme IT MUST BE NEWS

a panel from a comic by Matt Groening, depicting one of his weird rabbit dudes looking slightly disoriented against a black background. the panel is labeled, "1990s", and a speech bubble appears from off-screen that reads, "BY BEING THE SAME AS REPUBLICANS WE CAN DEFEAT THE REPUBLICANS."

I for one would like to stop being trapped in a Matt Groening panel from 1996
