Miranda Miller

the meaning of the spanish language is a closely guarded secret

If it was I feel like they almost certainly would have dressed him in his hat, since it already holds symbolic value to a lot of people.

This is an all timer

I was thinking the same thing, glad it turned out to be true

Alternatively I think all business owners get to be called founder. The founder of the local corner store did a lot more work than you did to get his business off the ground.

I don’t think you should be allowed to call yourself a “founder” until you have an actual legacy

It is a bit disheartening to see that code licenses - something FOSS devs are conscientious about even when enforcement is very unlikely - are apparently just completely meaningless. More than enough reason for me to be uninterested in its potential benefits.

I think it’s kinda weird the Obama tweet is what’s making so many people suddenly declare Trump racist, when there are plenty of examples of him being far more direct and unambiguous about it. Like they’re finally done with him, and desperately looking for an off-ramp.

It’s clear that people want more out of their news outlets than whatever those outlets think they’ll want to hear. But Bezos isn’t actually interested in running a news outlet.

The remarkable thing about Stancil is that he can clearly be swayed leftward on an issue, but at no point does he ever synthesize that and apply it to any of his other assumptions about what is reasonable and what is radical. Starting from a blank slate on everything.

The magic of a muppet is that it’s basically just a kind of person

Thank you for actually sharing because I also apparently don’t know enough about porn

I love that the source is just a blog post saying “guys I think maybe he was dyslexic”

guys. israel is run by america, not the other way around.

You could probably ride out doing absolutely nothing for long enough to make more money than you possibly could elsewhere.

Actor Tim Allen 'Amazed' After Reading the Entire Bible, Delivers Powerful Message Actor Tim Allen recently wrapped his quest of reading the entire Bible “word-by-word.”

What does it say about the state of American Christianity when an outspoken Christian in his 70s claiming he read the whole Bible for the first time is being shared as an inspiring story.

It certainly helps that Noah Wyle is so incredibly easy to watch on screen.

If you say that being an Arab or a Muslim doesn’t make you a suspected terrorist then the leap from invading Afghanistan to invading Iraq gets a lot harder to defend

If pedophilia is a paraphilia then it’s pretty clear that continuing to use material of it will only reinforce that psychological connection. But the really insidious thing about these guys is that they’re trying to push pedophilia as an orientation and a queer identity.

I hate this, I don’t usually care how long a dish takes to make but it sucks if I’m trying to time it with something else and it’s wrong

You also can’t replicate it, because if it weren’t difficult, it wouldn’t be wondrous. Nobody is impressed by the technical precision of a computer, because that’s what computers do. Aside from the fact that AI tends to fail along these lines anyway if you are familiar with technique.

When you watch a musician flawlessly improvise with a band or look at a photorealistic painting you appreciate the technical mastery of the artist, but I think the people claiming AI democratizes art don’t understand that this is not the only, or even the primary, way that people appreciate art.

Yeah I don’t think he could operate in any environment that isn’t his own, even if he had some variety show-ish bits on Good Eats

Mumford & Sons is the most Mormon-coded thing to ever come from outside the US

I’m happy for people when I learn they think the moon landing is faked. It’s like the last big conspiracy theory you can believe for non-racist reasons. They can have it.

Kinda weird to suggest they don’t know who is using Trump’s Truth Social account, which they just argued in court was suitable for legal notices.

I think I’d also specify a birthday party that does not have a caterer or a party planner or a cash bar, I imagine weird rich people also throw children’s birthday parties that their friends come to

People who have never had to worry about accessibility using disabled people as a cudgel to silence their critics is such an egregious form of ableism, and you see constantly from otherwise left leaning people to defend capitalist exploitation.

Why is Bob Ross so bad at painting cabins and barns? Everything else magically coalesces into trees or mountains or whatever but they never stop looking like little vaguely building-shaped smudges.

Haiti had the only successful slave revolt against European colonialism and they still fucking hate them for it
