Trump has said a lot of really funny shit in his time as president. This might be the funniest.

sort of funny that the promise of these "AI assistants" on browsers and stuff is "imagine if you could just type something in and get answers!" Yes, that was called "basic search" and you intentionally enshittified it

*changes all references in the book from Philadelphia, PA to Philadelphia, AL* That'll do the trick.

But good luck with the search, I hope you find something that strikes that balance for you.

Iโ€™m a therapist but I learned 100% of how to do my job from viral posts. I tell my patients various things arent real and cant hurt them. The only thing that is real is Emotional Labor

My 11yo daughter just walked in the room, looked at the tv, and said "is that a meme." I get she's new to internet culture but no. That is Harvey Keitel in Bad Lieutenant smoking crack. It would be a fire meme tho

You're supposed to be emotionally attached in a relationship. That's what a relationship is.

that the pope should know who you are

PLAN TO CUT COSTS AT YOUR LOCAL UNIVERSITY:

STEP 1: Eliminate all academic departments.

STEP 2: Hire consultant to interpret 99% drop in enrollment.

finished Vineland. between this and Inherent Vice a couple of months ago i fear i am transforming into a 45 year old lit dude. Pynchon is just so fucking insanely good, like PKD if he didn't have speed-induced psychotic visions (which, don't get me wrong are pretty cool)

Reading the New Pynchon Novel in a Pynchonesque America โ€œShadow Ticket,โ€ Pynchonโ€™s first book in a dozen years, unfolds its conspiracies in Depression-era Milwaukee and beyond, but it lands in a moment when reality seems to have caught up with his fictions...

โ€œShadow Ticketโ€ is the first new work by Thomas Pynchon in a dozen yearsโ€”and, at 88, heโ€™s โ€œstill panoptic, exciting, abstruse, distractible, and, for good or ill, unrestrained,โ€ Kathryn Schulz writes.
