On Oct. 3, Cady's crush, Aaron, asked her what day it was. Now, it’s come to be known as Mean Girls Day among the movie’s fans.

The 2004 movie has endured the test of time because it's so true and so endlessly quotable β€” β€œthe limit does not exist!” https://wapo.st/4hdNeud

Yes, I love it so much. She is just joyful and the conversations have been really interesting, the way she was with β€œPlah-zee” yesterday was so caring. Desperate for her to have β€œWiig” on (I also adore how she/the comedy folk often use surnames for each other, Hamm etc.)

I hadn’t used Facebook in years until I had kids and needed it for small, local activities such as music classes and now for promoting PTA fundraising events for school to other parents.

Hard agree. Thinking of adding a β€œnot written by AI” label to my emails to offset suspicion of my use of em-dashes and tendency to use bolster 🀣

Like the song, love the video, rate Sabrina Carpenter highly but HATE the smoking. C’mon, let’s not be doing that on a video that will be across teens’ social πŸ™ˆ

Any industry eliminating entry level roles where new, younger employees learn on the job before promotion to more advanced, decision-making roles is sawing through the branch it's sitting on.

So, I think it's time I begin, in detailed specifics, talking about the mess that is Unbound / Boundless as a book publisher, in essence stealing most of a years royalties from me and many other authors, as a result of poor financial decisions, and legal BS.

Please read and share this thread.

Two Paths for A.I. The technology is complicated, but our choices are simple: we can remain passive, or assert control.

A recent report spells out a chilling scenario in which β€œsuperintelligent” A.I. systems either dominate or exterminate the human race by 2030. Another claims that A.I. technology will remain β€œnormal.” How can researchers hold such disparate views?

Not in my 30’s anymore, but this was the standout sketch from SNL this weekend for me (although the ferry skit was a close second).

β€’ Al Overview
The idiom "you can't lick a badger twice" means you can't trick or deceive someone a second time after they've been tricked once. It's a warning that if someone has already been deceived, they are unlikely to fall for the same trick again.
Here's a more detailed explanation:
β€’ Licking: "Licking" in this context means to trick or deceive someone.
β€’ Badger: The badger is a wild animal, and the phrase likely originates from the historical sport of badger baiting where dogs were used to harass

Someone on Threads noticed you can type any random sentence into Google, then add β€œmeaning” afterwards, and you’ll get an AI explanation of a famous idiom or phrase you just made up. Here is mine

On week 3 of this virus. Everyone in our area has had it. Advice is to not think is it gone/going but keep medicated until you’re 100%, as it comes in waves. Good luck!

@mscaitlinmoran.bsky.social have you and @profgalloway.com crossed paths in London at all? Long time fan of your writing, and big fan of Prof Galloway’s pods/writing and always think I’d love to hear a conversation between you on this topic.

Started rewatching the whole series in January and have loved every minute of it. So nice to be back with Liz, Jack and the gang (also so many jokes in this have become reality, not just MILF island!) #30rock

I wanted her to save Minah! 😒 I thought she had turned in that convo in the bar. Cheering for the faithfuls now I’m afraid πŸ€ͺ

Sought this out as a counterweight to my media consumption of the last 24hrs… my favourite sketch from SNL’s season to date m.youtube.com/watch?v=RLn5... (also so pleased to have this app and have all the smart words people posting again)

All I have to say is I hope Minah wins, she’s played this game perfectly to date and I’ll be annoyed if Charlotte throws her under the bus! #traitors
