Two Chicago chefs will compete for a $1 million prize on a new cooking series, “America’s Culinary Cup.”

Hey, foodies. I am so in on Padma’s America’s Culinary Cup. This is fun. I can’t and will never cook like this. But I’m riveted.

I hate that the sparkle icon is shorthand for AI. They want us to think it’s magic. Fuck you!!! Magic is when you lose a glob of mustard from your sandwich but it doesn’t land on you. When you win at 20 questions. Sparkles belong to Liberace. A baby’s smiling eyes. I will put you in the ground!!!!!!

The feature, which Grammarly shut down Wednesday, presented editing suggestions as if they came from established authors and academics—without their consent. www.wired.com/story/gramma...

Before now, I knew little about Grammerly. Now I hate them with the heat of a thousand suns. Enjoy your PR disaster. I hope it ruins you.

i bet this shit sounds magical if you're fucking stupid

Hilarious that the shoes are Florsheim. In addition to the “everyone is 12” idea, we need “everything is the 80s.”

What I didn’t say: This technology does not exist; this technology has no uses and will go away. What I did say: This technology is very often being used to solve problems that are not problems, toward outcomes that we should not want, unless what we want is to eliminate humans.

make darth the ceo and no one tell him til he gets back

If someone breaks the law and nobody enforces it because of the offender’s power, then the law does not apply to the powerful, and the law, subordinated to power, is revealed as illegitimate in its helplessness and/or corruption.

Humanity runs on spite lmao

There are so few wins right now. But on Friday, I’m going to teach my FIL how to make his favorite sandwich, a Ruben. Love people and feed them well.

The f-ing f-ery that that is the AI in my Gmail is driving me insane.

This is amazing!

“If [wealthy, powerful people] can get us to accept that the future’s already settled, AI is already here, the end is already here, then we will create that for them. My most daring idea is to refuse.” — @tressiemcphd.bsky.social

I’ve seen enough. Not about the election. Just generally.

Feeling like I need to rewatch Chernobyl. It might be relevant.

Raja is an absolutely terrible choice folks.

Some observers believe that there is now an opportunity for democracy in Iran. They're wrong—there is now an opportunity for a republic in Iran.

Stunned to learn that assigning kids short book excerpts, chapter summaries and YouTube videos has not turned them into avid readers www.thebanner.com/education/k-...

Biden gave away all of our weaponry but Trump rebuilt our military before Biden gave it all away so we are in good shape. I have someone in my life who has dementia. This type of time dislocation is a common feature in our conversations.

Well, in more pleasant news, the Fish Doorbell is back... 🧪

Today’s to do list is seasoning my new griddle, making a new to me Bolognese sauce, and Sn 2 of Paradise. Loving the addition of Shailene Woodley to Paradise.

I don't want to read a book written by AI. I don't want to read a book half written by AI. I don't want to read a book narrated by AI. I don't want to read a book with an AI cover. I don't want to read a book written by somebody who supports AI.

Sup chat this is Slouching Towards Bethlehem with your boy The Rough Beast, and it looks like today’s stream could be a big one, as some of you might’ve already seen there are rumors going around social media that the hour has come round at last, so we’re gonna get right into it

The ends never justify the means.

“The children are always ours, every single one of them, all over the globe; and I am beginning to suspect that whoever is incapable of recognizing this may be incapable of morality.” James Baldwin

The truth is not the average of a fact and a lie.

Remember that it’s not hypocrisy. It’s the Epstein Class’s demonstration of the power of abusers.

The military obsession with AI is in large part about being able to command something to kill, with instant compliance, no rebuttal nor compunction

It is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing.

My 5th-ish rewatch of Sinners. It gets better every time.

"I am not going to the United States Senate to find something to agree with Donald Trump on. I’m going to the United States Senate to represent you, and to take your voices with me.”

IL is on the verge of electing a Senator far more aligned with Trump, MAGA power brokers & ICE infrastructure expansion than the values of a deep-blue state. Here’s what Raja Krishnamoorthi hopes you don’t know about him & how we elect someone better.

so yes, you can transform a CBS or a CNN into right-wing slop, and yes that will have an impact, but it is also true that americans will have access to a large universe of other information AND they will continue to build new venues for telling stories about the world and sharing their views…

John Oliver’s Last Week Tonight is going to get replaced by Lindell TV, isn’t it?

I think I speak for many Gen X women when I say, “We’ll do it. We will work around the clock to get it done.” Making these chuds cry may relieve some of the rage we feel.

TIL Neanderthal men were hot. Seriously though, this is cool research.

Read what you love and don't worry what others think. Read romance. Read horror. Read biographies. Read children's books. Read sci-fi. Read thrillers. Read fantasy. Read young adult. Read. 💙📚

stop calling us nazis just because we are invalidating IDs and rounding people up based on their skin color and putting them in concentration camps and sending them off to foreign gulags and using all that nazi imagery and banning books and dont forget about all the pedophilia. so just stop alright

What about Love is Blind but each person must present a video tour of their apartment/home on the first date? Because damn, these men live rough. Ladies, you need to run.

For reasons we are all aware of, I think that I’m going to watch Downfall and then watch The Death of Stalin this weekend. Just as a refresher.

every name is a winner here.

Is this even satire?

More dogs in the snow, please. We all need it.

Happy 8th birthday to the gooberiest dog who ever goobered.

In my house, if you make a mess, it is your mess to clean up. I don’t know why illegally collected tariffs should be any different.

I don’t know where I found the recommendation but this dry rub plus Alabama White Sauce on chicken is my new hyper-fixation. Tonight was wraps but I’m making wings this weekend.

Welcome to Disney World’s new Hall of Authoritarians exhibit.
