It’s not necessarily just the booing that’s instructive; it is, as noted, that she is absolutely gobsmacked by it. She very obviously had no idea there was any remote possibility this would happen.

I can (and do) talk to my B for hours. He is so smart and everything I need for mental health. My favorite thing in the world is to sit on our deck and linger into the dark hours of a summer night, talking about all the things.

I'm inebriated on the fragrance.

So, I agree with all the disabled writers quoting this, but I was also curious about what exactly “Cassie Carter Author” was writing so I started searching. Nothing on Bookshop. Nothing on Amazon (!). OK then. A general search turned up exactly one Wordpress blog.

A bit of cheerleading for you: Even some gerrymandered seats are not 100% certain to go the way the GOP wants in a wave election. In the last five midterm elections, the incumbent's party lost 9, 13, 30, 40, and 63 seats. Do you know how many turnovers Democrats need to flip the House? Three.

Read the book! Three Bags Full is outstanding.

It's point 3 here that gets me heated in conversations. The majority of people either don't know this or have chosen not to care. Nothing else could be more important. We are going to royally fuck our physical existence and in the process make ourselves too dumb to see it.

The correct term in 2026 is John Roberts.

Goodnight, world. Steady on, no wobbles.

Ultra-mega-giganto rolls that last 10 years! Only at Costco.

Officially THAT BITCH

I can finally tell you that I was the fiction jury chair for this year's Pulitzer. I had a blast, and am so grateful for the experience.

Just let women talk to their own doctors and make their own decisions about their own bodies and their own health care.

I remember a song lyric "waiting light years..." 😩

Best thing for the Sunday scaries is a night of Nanci Griffith.

This guy on the train has taken me back to high school. Rugby shirt and bleached jeans? Late 80s prep. Only thing missing are the shoes should be high-tops with the tongue flipped out.

Every splashy New York Times profile of a right wing influencer.

The mainstream media acts like conservative media is this really tough beat to cover. I’ve professionally covered it for 19 years now. It’s not that hard if your goal isn’t kissing their asses.

We've gotta write down the ancient recipes.

Dawkins has always been a wanker. Glad he found something that can stand to listen to him.

Apparently, journals, universities and publishers cannot do it but the Oscars can

disrespectfully if Clarence Thomas was on Fire i wouldn't piss on him to put out the flames ... i hope that clears things up

There's also no such thing as an AI employee, any more than there's any such thing as an AI dog or an AI tree.

I think back to my 20s and 30s and wonder how we ever tolerated that. Coming home from a night out and needing to shower off the stank before going to bed. Non-smoking sections in restaurants, etc. We were idiots. I hope everyone tied to the tobacco lobbies are suffering now.

Every Corporation Right Now: You no longer have to endure long wait times for customer service! We have an infinite supply of automated idiots for you to talk to until you give up on us entirely. Have a great day.

Got mine last year. Dodged that one. Super effing gross.

Josh Johnson has summed up one of the greatest challenges of integrated friend and family groups more efficiently than anyone yet in this little short telling you that I paid ten times as much for my wedding photographer as for my wedding dress for this exact reason… m.youtube.com/shorts/Ur-kC...

WTF is a "Substack party"

Promise your chance of catching an airborne infection is much lower if you stay home, also as a bonus you retain what remains of your integrity

Chicago’s indie bookstore crawl returns Saturday at 80+ shops across the area. blockclubchi.co/4trNGdz

Cosign on these! W&CF is one of the most LGBTQIA+ welcoming bookshops in the city. You can explore Andersonville after you shop. Myopic is in the heart of bustling Wicker Park and you'll have a blast exploring their many labyrinthine floors. I miss living walking distance to Armadillo's Pillow.

this account is run by a human at NASA JPL who only posts real images with their receipts. it only has 11k followers compared to the 200k the ai slop space account has

Just FYI there’s an account on here called @redditspaceviewes.bsky.social (with over 200k followers) that is posting a bunch of AI slop (including a “Saturn polar hexagon” with 8 sides) and claiming it’s NASA imagery. If you see anything posted by them, it’s likely fake.

This x 600%.

Mayor Josh should post more selfies. 13/10 would look again.

Yeah, i don't like the carousel. I mean if you want to enable that after the grid, but in post isn't an upgrade. It requires more clicks to see all the pictures, which doesn't make sense.

!!!!

Saturday!

“Why don’t you want to have a conversation about AI?” “I broke into your house and stole your shit and now I just want to talk.”

The Happening. We walked out halfway through.

just saw someone call Kash Patel “J Edgar Boozer” and need to lie down
