How many thousands of people are gonna get charged $70 a month because they didn't read to the third paragraph of this fucking email

Even those of us who've never used Adobe for anything other than opening PDFs--just about every browser, or MacOS's Preview, can do that now, and most of them with recent features like adding notes, form-filling, and digital signatures. I know a lot of people who think only Adobe Reader can do that.

But shall this crazed old man be tamely suffered to drag a whole ship’s company down to doom with him?

She left her agent because he was in the Epstein files, and just like that, there’s a bot-driven smear campaign. You fell for it with Amber Heard and Blake Lively, stop fucking falling for it.

I've never hoped for Charles to outlive anyone, but you know what they say. Never say never.

my hope for young creative people is that they strive to do more than create "content" "content" is the word of the enemy

congratulations to trump and bibi for starting a war and immediately making the iranian regime the strongest and richest it has been in its entire history incredible, world-historic geopolitical fuckup

Augie, our 8.5-year old kitty, just recently figured out lap sitting. He's the most socially awkward cat I've ever met. It takes him a lot of anxiety and engineering to figure out how to position his front paws.

I see a lot of techies perplexed about the venom the rest of society has about AI. here’s just one sample of why so many people reflexively loathe AI

Before the Challenger exploded, engineers tried to tell their bosses that the o-ring that failed would do exactly that. Their bosses decided their NASA contract - aka the money - was more important than safety and gave the go ahead anyway. I think about that a lot lately.

I just learned that Kristi Noem's full name is Kristi Lynn Arnold Noem, which makes her initials KLAN. Reality keeps acting like there's some ham-fisted storyteller at the helm, and for the first time I'm thinking we've actually got an extremely bored trickster god on our hands.

Always a good reminder.

it’s nice that every four weeks or so we all get a little weekend of hope and dumbass fun.

Carlson talks about how US isolation will naturally shift the focus to taking Canada to grow its power again, and this is what I'm worried about. He also says that Canada has never been a sovereign nation. What? We're sovereign. The info is literally one internet search away. #CdnPoli #CanPoli

Hell yeah. I love the curious explorers who find things like this.

This is an opportunity to make my nonbinary brag that I was invited to a dinner party of about 10 people including John Waters and Bruce LaBruce, and Waters was a delightful guest. I've been dead ever since.

Weekend music?

I've been playing around with dip nib pens I got on sale. So far I have green fingers, crooked and uneven lines, and ink bleeds and smears, but the sound of the nibs on paper is so delightful to my brain that I don't care. This is the way for me. I'm working on loosening up creatively.

Just remembering the time we were out for drinks with a friend and this grindset bro was totally pitching her at the bar and kept talking about the pressure of running his start-up and then asked her what she did and she said "I'm a Medevac nurse on the helicopter team at CHOP" and he left

I wish Regina valued its citizens for more than their money, because the city throws up unnecessary barriers if you don't have it. Not having reliable transit that respects people's time restricts or blocks their access to important opportunities like jobs and cultural events. #YQRCC #YQR #Regina

I'm curious what role hormones like testosterone, progesterone, and estrogen play in our relative perceptions of time. Is this anything?

The horse op-ed is an instant classic. I can't tell you how much joy this piece gives me. It should be taught in every introductory writing class in no small part because the horse arguments are so compelling. "I have noticed that human children get to eat cake. But I am bigger than the children."

This is part of the reason why I want Sam Altman removed from any ability to lead organizations of any kind, especially when it comes to creating the broad cultural, social, and economic shifts required for his blessed AI grift.

More context on this #Artemis II image: * This is the night side, lit by moonlight. You can see city lights in Spain & Portugal, & a sliver of day at lower right * The Sun is entirely behind Earth, which makes it a kind of solar eclipse, but w/ Earth doing the eclipsing instead of the Moon: ☀️🌍🚀🌕

Trans folks: please keep in mind that not all coverage of trans issues on the left is entirely trustworthy. Some of it is presented in as frightening or upsetting a light as possible in order to generate clicks, artificially increasing fear in a community that is already terrified.

Even if you're not into these newer prediction markets, this is enlightening. I assumed it was another form of gambling. This isn't really gambling.
