it’s not their fault that Bari Weiss; on the other hand

Bari Weiss is basically the reason I’m too agoraphobic to accept my local boomer lesbian real estate kingpin’s invitations to dinner parties with her fancy married lesbian Catskills weekender friends

hi I’m Aloysius and I’m a human here to confuse you

relatable

hell yeah

As interesting as the book sounds, the fact that it has an obviously AI-generated cover means I not only have to pass, but feel compelled to write and tell you that that's why. It's an insult to the author, and to all the other authors, illustrators, and artists on the HC list, and I wish I could say I was shocked that it got past the initial design meeting let alone every successive conversation somebody had to have about it. I hope HC makes a different decision in the future, although I can't say I'm holding out hope.

Just got a pitch for a 2026 title that has a pretty obviously AI generated cover. Sent this back to the publicist, in case anybody else wants to join me in saying no to such things.

This is extra funny because the BS team is like "the tech is the product not the users" and it's like OK, cool but that doesn't seem to work as you sold it either

yeah it do be that way

So, apparently Bluesky PERMANENTLY banned someone for posting a single Charlie Kirk meme.

AJ is a fantastic community builder who had a big account & is an adjunct prof at Howard University. The idea that he doesn't even deserve a first warning is absurd.

most days six is enough things 😝

I walked my kid halfway to school today in my pajama pants cause she wanted company

mail gets sorted by 11 and then I can go to the post office

the best thing about living in the middle of a village of 500ish people is being able to walk to all the things

I was born old and yes it is

You head out. Tired. Wet. Angry. You're ready to crack some heads. The protesters across the street are wearing big, inflatable animal costumes. Cute ones. You immediately picture what the TikTok of you beating on one of these people would look like. You miss your wife.

wow. wow

today I learned

I was doing 13 and change minute miles, I am satisfied, there were four of them and a lot of hills and jeffing

now I’m mad at robots

screenshot of google result: AI Overview An 8 minute 15 second kilometer pace is equivalent to a 7 minute 27 second mile pace. This is because 1 kilometer is approximately 0.62 miles, so a faster pace is needed to cover the shorter distance in the same amount of time, according to The Running Channel

no!!! wrong!!! fuckers!!!!

It’d be nice to have a single place on the internet where black people or trans people or indigenous people or any queer people can simply exist free from tech doofuses and power-mad Karens with nothing on the ball but heads full of air but thats too much like right, I guess

It's an iron law of history: if a bunch of people try to convince you that the professors, queers, and immigrants are the "real" threat, buy a fucking gun, because authoritarianism is on the horizon. Every time.

The collapse of local news is one of the features of our media landscape. I know there are people swimming upstream against it, but it's a big problem. Social media can't make up for it.

so relatable

For real. Autistic pattern recognition is sometimes like a chainsaw with no handle.

gold and white fish scale PVC peel and stick tile. peel and stick is shit, but this looks sort of sturdy and better than the vinyl peel and stick I’ve been fussing with around the shower. do I want to go all in on hardie board and real tile??? fuck me, I do not
