I do not want the video. I will never watch the video. I usually won’t even give the video the effort of complaint. I just want to read the news story. Give me the text. This would be my Ted Talk but that would be text too.

A thought I keep returning to — and that’s underscored by today’s news — is that a legacy publication or a deep-pocketed investor could hire an astonishing array of talent right now and make the best newspaper in America overnight.

In earnest: having lost a couple of friends to suicide at young ages — three, actually, now that I count — I can't imagine the devastation that could come to more lives by way of the ubiquitous availability and promotion of a tool happy to serve as Clippy, the suicide assistant.

Today is the 5 year anniversary to when I slowly started losing my mind during the pandemic and began dressing up as works of art. As my Twitter account has long been abandoned, why not make a thread of my madness on BlueSky? This was “The Maid” by Wilhelm August Lebrecht Amberg, from 1862

the search for employment can be so ridiculous. literally saw a posting for a job paying a maximum rate of $21/hour that required a master's degree but stipulated, in bold, that PhD candidates are strongly preferred. and this is not the first of its kind I've come across recently.
