Hazel E. Baumgartner, Author of "The Woods"

It's a bit like comparing which bone cancer is the best, but there's something cathartic about seeing ChatGPT lose the title of "most downloaded LLM chatbot app".

I moved from Missouri and all it cost me was borrowing money from my grandparents and maxing out my credit card thus tanking my credit score. 🙃

Just in case they are looking to see public response.

I am against war. I am against collaborating with warmongers. I'm against war crimes and the massacre of children. Of anyone.

War is monstrous.

What is being done cannot be justified. I am ashamed of and disgusted by the horror we unleash.

Ann Godoff, founding publisher of Penguin Press, dies at 76 Godoff’s four-decade career helped launch and shape the works of leading writers, including Ron Chernow, Salman Rushdie and Zadie Smith.

What a legend. Rest in peace. Fuck cancer.

I think all four of these pictures were taken in Mueller State Park or nextdoor Dome Rock Wildlife Area.

More photo spam from Teller County, CO. The Pikes Peak area might be the most attractive part of the country.

They teach and act and do, and now I'm not a Christian anymore. I firmly believe that if more "Christians" actually read the entire Gospel, they'd leave their shitty doomsday cults and the world would be much better off.

The vast vast vast majority of so-called "Christians" have not read the Bible. For thousands of years they weren't allowed to. People were killed for translating it out of Latin. And now I see why. I actually read the Bible and realized it doesn't make sense and DEFINITELY doesn't mesh with what

there are a lot of people working in the government right now who want to intentionally trigger an apocalypse to create the conditions for the return of jesus christ and I know how crazy that sounds but its absolutely true

Creepy Kansas Road Trip - YouTube

I did a whole Youtube miniseries of them throughout Kansas. Thinking about a followup for "Creepy Colorado".

Exterior photograph of the historic Victor Hotel in Teller County, CO. The building is a reddish orange brick, four stories tall, in a turn-of-the-century Victorian Nuveau style.

Hazel making a "shaka" sign in front of the Elevator. She looks tired from hiking 20 miles and is wearing a blue coat over a flannel and yellow sunglasses.

Also while in Teller County I stopped by the historic Victor Hotel and took a selfie with the elevator.

Interview went well and then I hiked like six miles through Teller County, bringing my total hiked distance in the past week to ~16 miles. Saw bear tracks, mountain lion tracks, bobcat tracks, sheep tracks, and fox tracks in the process.

It's my half birthday today and I'm spending it driving up into the mountains to interview with my dream employer. Wish me luck!

There are rockstars that do that lol

Like apparently there's something called a bop house where people become millionaires by doing tiktok all day? Can we start a scream house where people become millionaires by writing weird gay horror?

There's something deeply depressing about learning that 99.999% of authors have to work day jobs to pay the bills while other people can become millionaires by being assholes on the internet and fistfighting other assholes on the internet. Authors should have absolute rockstar status by default.

this is the most pollen ive ever seen on a single bug, shes having the time of her life

I got in trouble for reading non class books in class lol

My hot take for today is video games shouldn't be hard. Life is already stressful and frustrating enough. Why the hell would I submit myself to a stressful and frustrating simulation to relax? Give me easy video games any day.

there is no metric by which this is true. even 2028 primary polling (which is meaningless in general but seems like a fair yardstick here) doesn’t have him on top.

just a brazen attempt to impose him on us by the rich and the commentariat.

just became aware of this--the regime wants to clear-cut massive chunks of Oregon's old growth forests in the name of timber production.

you have until March 23rd to comment.

i know we have endless fucking things to scream at politicians about--this is an important one too.

Did another two mile hike this morning. Was supposed to hang out with someone I was probably gonna hike with tomorrow but those plans canceled. Then Monday I have a job interview and then guess what? Checking out a new hiking spot up in the mountains.
I love hiking and Colorado is great for it.

I used to be a Metaknight main. Spinny spam go wheeeee!

METAKNIGHT!

What's next is stocks go up for like six companies and the rest of us are in bread lines. Winning!

I just jokingly suggested we play scrabble but adjectives only and my roommates are weirdly into the idea

Probably 2000 too.
