“The first thing I thought was, ‘What is she talking about?’” said Bryan Fish, the vice mayor of Culver City, whom everyone calls Bubba but doesn’t look like someone whom everyone calls Bubba. “The only crime here,” he added, “is like the $18 strawberry at Erewhon.” culver city, crime haven! lmaooo

My 'toxic' trait is telling my colleague to take their time no matter how inconvenient it is to the institution. If they wanted that coverage, they would staff better. They'll roll your corpse out the window and replace you in a couple weeks. So, there's no points for loyalty.

Trying to clear an ear-worm i've stumbled across possible the most 90s image that ever existed: Cake lead singer John McCrea in a bucket hat and flannel with the goatee of a man who looks like he is 15 years into a career manning a hackey sack kiosk at the local mall

I listened to an NPR segment - probably TAL - interviewing AI researchers and I felt like I was listening to a charming, brilliant man calmly explaining how he knew leprechauns were stealing his slippers.
