So much current political coverage is "this is how the candidate's history and words do or do not jive", but sure, actively doing something's going to decrease clarity on what the candidate stands for? You must shout "the rent is too damn high", no more until you're elected.

LLM consciousness is exactly the same in character and quality as Pot Bear, a pot that I own that looks exactly like a friendly bear when viewed at a particular angle while drunk

When I was on CNN's northeast desk, the first job at 6a every morning was to read the local papers. That guided some of what the massive CNN machine followed every day. When those papers die, CNN doesn't hire new regional reporters. What you get instead is more panel shows, more punditry.

*soft gasp* There's so much wrapping! - the mummy discovering and loving Christmas

I answered the actual question as a response (Fun Home), but I have to say when The Lehman Trilogy came up on my subscription I had _no hope_. It's turned out to be one of the plays we mention the most in the years since.

I just listened to Hogfather for the first time in ages and damn if it isn't particularly striking right now.

Was very close to fighting someone from another office over a Teams message this morning before looking them and realizing they are about 60. Remembered the below tweet and chose peace instead. Be proud of me.

If you want to celebrate the life of Rob Reiner tonight and you haven't seen it, the documentary about his best friend, ALBERT BROOKS: DEFENDING MY LIFE, is as much about Brooks as it is Reiner's love for his lifelong best friend. As fall down hilarious as it is sweet & touching. It's a must see.

I hate how much I enjoyed this BIG NERD DESIGN ENERGY 🫦

so far tonight msnbc has interviewed two students from brown university that are also survivors of separate high school shootings. insanity.

Michael C. Rockefeller got shipwrecked in 1963, washed up on an island, and was promptly eaten by cannibals.

The more I have looked at the artist’s other work, the more I have become convinced that this is probably awkward and fake-looking on purpose.

I guess it's fitting that it's a reimagined, worse version of someone else's artwork

If it didn’t say “read by the author” I never would have believed it. This is STUNNINGLY bad holy fucking shit she doesn’t sound like a human. She sounds like a human trying to sound like AI trying to sound like a human.

When I lived up to the north end of the county, there was a chili and BBQ place a couple of blocks away that I'd walk down to a couple of times a week. There was a sign on the wall: "No, my chili is not flaming hot. Any damm fool can make things hot. It's much harder to make it taste good."

10 yellow cards is a record for a 90-minute #MLSCup final. 2005 also had 10 yellows, but that match went to extra time. Vancouver's 6 yellows also sets a record for most by any one team in the final. #MLSRefStats #InterMiamiCF #VWFC

Turns out it didn't have legs

This came to me in a dream

Your Cherokee words for today. The top word is English followed by how it is written in the Cherokee language followed by how it is spelled in English then how to pronounce it phonetically.
