Snapewives 2.0: This Time With More Computer has all the weirdness of the original, but none of the "we made this weirdness entirely by ourselves" charm

the idea that a computer generated roast would be legitimately funny is only possible to people who have never had a real friend even once in their life

Oh thank god

It's wild that you can see the *exact moment* their brains collectively shattered I'm never not thinking about @inbedwiththeright.bsky.social's suggestion that every billionaire get a humanities grad student assigned to monitor their media consumption and group chats

Does anyone know how to keep Gemini off while also keeping the sorted mailboxes? That actually IS a helpful feature but man I am fucking furious that they are tricking me into letting AI read all my shit just to keep one (1) useful feature (please don't tell me just to ditch it, that's not helpful)

This is one I think about a LOT Wild that he's just completely escaped public condemnation for this

Oh wow, look at all those gorgeous, new books. Leeann is in good company.

What the actual fuck, Apple

Not to be dramatic but I think these women should be allowed to kill people over this.

I feel like someone who follows me must know this?

Once we get too close to actually holding someone or something accountable there’s an effort to quell the previously righteous anger, and/or redirect it into violence against scapegoats that only ends in more abuse

My Secret Lives of Mormon Wives take is that every single one of these women would be much, much happier working in marketing for a big company rather than fighting with each other at promotional events that are for some reason happening in airplane hangers

I was explaining Ruby Bridges to some Gen Zers, and was saying that she's the same age as my mom (and therefore this was recent) but it didn't really sink in for them, since I am Old. And then one pulled out her phone, looked something up, and then yelled RUBY BRIDGES HAS AN INSTAGRAM????

genuinely the most upsetting part of these emails for me is how so many powerful people seemed to view his abuse of children as like, a personality quirk

I am 3 years older than him!!!! HOW

look as someone who can be incapacitated for weeks by the fear that I put the wrong number of exclamation points into an email this has been a fascinating glimpse into a some brains that work extremely! differently! from! mine!

this is one of those books that's an absolute gut punch but also very cathartic to read

“The great feminization is a threat to civilization” “did women ruin the workplace?” “Do women achieve real dignity through dependence?” “Is not getting laid a human rights violation for men?” They overturned Roe just three years ago.

oh my god we all know he's in the files so please, for the love of Pete, Republican Party, can we please get this over with

The northern lights are visible in Minnesota on Tuesday night. We spotted the aurora borealis from Watertown and St. Paul. Can you see it near you?

Aurora visible in Minneapolis!

"And James Bond, who did NOT die"

Personally, I will be trying to avoid the notice of Joyce Carol Oates and Kendrick Lamar for the rest of my natural life

This reminds me of when my 8th grade class (at a Catholic school) got in a fair bit of trouble with the priest when a classmate blithely told him communion was just a "representation" of Jesus's body and blood, and not the real thing, and then most of the class nodded in agreement. (bear with me) 🧵

Authors, Beware! There's a firm called "ClaimsHero" doing aggressive social media outreach claiming to "help" you file to get $ in the Anthropic class action. In fact, it's a bait-and-switch, they are luring authors to sign up with them, then OPTING THEM OUT of the class action so they'll get zilch.

Me when the AI bubble bursts

I hope Alito is furiously raising an absolutely unhinged flag today

Last night, the Trump Administration sent a letter suggesting Wisconsin should return our FoodShare payments. My response ⬇️

If Disney wants to hire me to write "The Mummy (1999) but Star Wars" I'm available and boy do I have IDEAS

Anyway I know this has been said already but they require this fantasy of love from computers precisely because they have warped themselves into such selfish and repugnant creatures that they’re incapable of eliciting love from real human beings.

Once again: this is not what “feminism” means.

"I was a dick about children and I am proud of this" (good for those moms)

Great news! Because of a recent court order, November SNAP benefits for Wisconsin recipients were made available overnight. Members should feel free to use the funds as they normally would.

...are we just doing "phrenology but with computers this time" because it sure sounds like phrenology but with computers this time

What led me to discover this was turned on for me was this post (by someone who is *not* a mutual, but it was labeled "rude" and I got curious) ...it's not even mildly impolite????

No one wants to talks about the Second Wave without caveats, but the Second Wave liberals were responsible for a decades-long march of legal changes to civil rights and family law that allowed women to work in public as men’s formal equals, and that’s what these people are undoing.

...does he need help finding it is that what's going on here

And it’s so good!!!!

The University of Minnesota just announced the "Meal-A-Day Program" which will provide one meal a day for SNAP benefit recipients while the SNAP program is limited or unavailable. This makes me very happy. A lot of students, faculty, and staff at the U need this, unfortunately.

idk meta has been SURE that what I want, more than anything else in this world, is maternity yoga clothes and (judging by my suggested reels) to divorce my husband I am neither pregnant nor experiencing marital strife, but sure, this is great

don't threaten me with a good time, etc

Watching s3 of The Diplomat and I have said this before, but seeing Keri Russell on my screen is like running into a college friend you lost touch with at the grocery store. I'm just so DELIGHTED to see her

I would wear every single one of these

Meanwhile, we have a 60-something neighbor who is (like me) a white woman and (like me) a native english speaker. She has called the city on us (for "having too many weeds in our boulevard" and for "replacing a fence") and has also, on occasion, *deliberately kicked over our trash cans*

This closes Nov 1 and right now your odds of winning are very, very good.

I am not an influencer, but please help me boost Palestinian-owned Nabiha cafe on U street near 17th in DC. The coffee is AMAZING, staff is super friendly, links to donate to Gazan families are easily accessible for customers who want to help

Time to resurrect one of my favorite things Over Here: let me know about a book you either have out now or one that's up for folks to preorder, and I'll repost to boost it! 📚💜
