If anything, working as a professional proofreader made me more generous towards typos, because EVERYONE makes them. It's not a question of smarts, or how adept you are with the language.

I for one regularly mistype my own name as Chirs.

Additional taxes coming to pharmaceuticals. This is gonna hit older voters hard.

Well. This is going to make pharmaceutical and health insurance executives even MORE popular. I'm sure they'll feel very safe over the next few years.

Well, goddamn if that doesn't make my twisted little goth heart skip a beat or two.

If the threat of kidnapping by US authorities wasn't enough, bond payments for tourist visas will entirely eliminate tourism to the US except for a handful of very wealthy people.

For some hard numbers on this, check on @molly.wiki 's cost comparisons between various platforms, including self-hosted Ghost.

I sympathize with people who started up on Substack because it's so easy, but between not only tolerating but PROMOTING Nazis, and bleeding their writers, maybe it's time to consider other options.

If Dems take the gloves off on mid-decade redistricting: the GOP has already gerrymandered, if not optimally, a lot. Blue states often have nonpartisan commissions. Which means ther are a lot more Blue gains in redrawing the maps. This could be a net win for Dems.

I am Le Shocked. They could probably find worse stuff on me. And I’ve been pretty boring.

If so, that would be the first step towards decency either has taken in my lifetime.

When’s the last time we saw a Republican candidate where that was the WORST thing you could say about them?

I came up in the Reagan Era, and I sure can’t remember. Reagan’s scandals by themselves could take years to describe.

What I always tell people though, is that blowing up the Death Star at the end of RotJ is the easy part. The real revolution is in the slow, painstaking process of filling the vacuum left behind. And making it more than just a change of figureheads.

Reading? In this economy?

So then who do Team Rocket vote for?

Embrace your greediness. You deserve both.

Too much "we're cooked" & not enough "we're not gonna take this shit"

YouTubers: PLEASE stop using AI voiceovers. The most awkward, unprofessional, nasal, echoey human VO in the world is still going to be less grating and distracting than a robot that says every sentence exactly the same way and doesn't know how to pronounce a bunch of words or where to put emphasis.

The media is completely ignoring that Brown University just agreed to a full bathroom ban and defining trans people out of existence. Even worse, when they mention it, they're describing it as a sports ban. This is not just a sports ban.

The media is hiding what's happening here.

To be fair, an LLM would probably give me a more positive "self" review than I would.

ME: "I think I did... okay, although I really messed up on a few things, and I'm sorry, really sorry about those, and I promise that I'll do better."

Who among us can say they haven't gotten a little drunk and blown up a giraffe?

I absolutely feel like I want to give a promotion to whoever enacted this policy.

Oh, I am feeling this so fucking hard, lately.

Waiting for her attempted "escape."

Yes to this.

Lefties who speak fluent jargon that never comes down to earth long enough to get its hands dirty drive me fucking nuts. We have to do better than that.

I mean, that's pretty much it, yeah. Plus, I'm AuDHD with a partner who's a stroke survivor, and I feel shitty about being too unfocused and drained to take care of her as well as I might.

I understand trans people a lot better than I do gendering a Roomba.

Roombas kinda scare me. I call ours the "Dirt Dalek."

That's awesome.

I'm currently trying to return to my old habit of reading a lot, which is kind of embarrassing, because when I was younger, it was so key to my identity. But a lot of getting back to it involves feeling like I can just take time for myself without feeling bad about it.

I'd never heard of him before today. And now I wish I never had.

I think that fighting antisemitism and standing up for Palestinian rights are just two fronts in the same war: The fight for justice. If you can't think and speak about both, I have no use for you.
