Me too - is that where "precocious" comes from, as in sassy?

they say you are over the hill bc as you approach middle age, you stand atop that hill, a great vantage point from which to survey the low-lying territory that is your elder years, and then against your better judgement you begin to walk down, a brave adventurer, into the onslaught you will not win

This is, and probably always will be, the best story ever told on social media:

Trying to sell/buy our house at the moment, where everything needs to have happened yesterday and everybody wants in, but all you want to think about is your family's future happiness. This resonated with me.

I have a friend who grew up there. He and his old school friends, in that disparaging way that people like to talk about their hometowns, call it "the 'Nam", like they are US Army veterans comparing notes about the things they witnessed.

Reading the other replies, how about "the mortar can hold water"?

The 4 panel Drake meme, but Drake is now Richie (from the Bottom Christmas Special "Holy") who's wearing a blue towel over his head. In the top left panel, he's holding his hand up - revealing one of his fingers has been stapled on at a shonky angle - as he turns away from the image of gold, frankincense and myrrh in the top right panel. He's all smiles in the bottom left panel as he points at the image of (Terry's All) Gold, Frankenstein (mask) and Grr in the bottom right panel. Merry bloody Christmas, Richie!

Super Mario Bros. Deluxe includes a calendar that goes all the way to the year 3000. Ironically, this reaches much further than typical modern computer and smartphone calendars. As such, even now Super Mario Bros. Deluxe remains a good option to keep track of far future dates.

Things You Can Make ChatGPT Write for You
- Hayley DeRoche
Your last words
But before them
What to murmur to a lover in bed
What to say in the group chat when someone's
Sister mother brother is dead and
The apology you could never quite get right for a friend And hell why not make the robot compose your proposal
Your wedding toast, too
Your best friend's birthday roast
You could ask it to write a custom lullaby For the baby snuffling at your breast.
You can cradle to grave away
Every warm human word
You could ever have said
And when they chisel your gravestone
For your final rest
We can ask ChatGPT
Because it knew you best

A Prehistory of Scientific Racism The author of โ€œWhitenessโ€ traces the evolution of race as a social and political instrument, from its beginnings in ancient hierarchies through European colonial expansion and into contemporary times.

"Efforts to maintain white supremacist racial formations were increasingly couched in scientific language throughout the 18th century."

if we're going to be out here saying the 360 is twenty years old then we need to confront the fact that the last time anyone had any new ideas in the AAA space was 2008
