People do not need "AI literacy". They need a gd intro to statistics and probability course.

Can’t believe there are 90s kids who give The Mummy credit for their bisexual awakening when these were out there FIVE YEARS earlier.

Oh, not good. Sad has morphed into cranky & bitey at work today. I already looked dead at two people and told them to go away. Do NOT ask me for anything extra. I'm not sure what I'll do.

billionaires have yet to realize that substantially raising their taxes is the compromise position

Beans 2008-2025 Sweet, gentle, bossy girl. There's never enough time.

Like someone else said, you have to hand it to Trump; he managed to do what even the Flight 93 hijackers couldn't.

It takes 30 days to grow a radish. Also 2/3 of the country is already in or entering winter.

shaking people violently so they get over themselves and acknowledge the necessity of protecting pornography so literally everything else doesn't get thrown down the garbage disposal

Unsolicited writing advice: no. 8075: There is no such thing as serious writing. There are only writers who take their work seriously, and those who don’t. Tragedy is no more “serious” than comedy. Children’s writing is no less “serious” than writing for adults. Good writing is wherever you find it.

This is bad for a variety of reasons, including one that self-absorbed rich people refuse to understand: an economy that depends upon discretionary spending by a small number of people is far less resilient. A couple bad weeks for financial markets will threaten the whole economy.

We had some (expected) losses overnight, but the four surviving shrimp are riding around on the shell of the mystery snail like they're doing a victory lap

I need to be doing about 100 things, and have about an hour to do them. Cue panic in 5, 4, 3...

It costs ~$70 to produce a year’s supply of insulin. Yet, the average annual cost of insulin went from $2,864 in 2012 to $5,705 in 2016 to $18,000 in 2025. A 25,714% markup. That isn’t inflation or supply chain—It’s corporate greed. Now—California will sell insulin for $11. Make this nationwide!

@govpritzker.illinois.gov our state troopers should be protecting Illinois residents who are peacefully protesting not becoming arms of our fascist federal government. This is a disgrace.

knowing you're not immune from disinformation is a necessary thing! it helps keep you alert to lies coming from purported allies.

Can we please stop using "body count" to discuss how many sexual partners someone has had? It's gross. People shouldn't be treated like score sheets.

Things that didn't happen today: Cleaning my bathroom Changing linens Laundry World peace End of fascism Grading Things that did: Made kimchi Cuddled cats Spent time with Kid Played games Canceled GamePass Made stew (but not bread) Drank expensive wine - my LIFE is the occasion (stuff is for using)

Mods are asleep post brassicas

Chicago priest Fr. Larry Dowling describes procession to ICE facility: “No one had the courage to speak directly to us. No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ.”

They have fired the staff of the CDC’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report and 70 Epidemic Intelligence Service officers, who are disease detectives that respond to outbreaks around the world. I cannot emphasize enough how dangerous it is to dismantle our disease surveillance infrastructure.

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy: www.citizensinformation.ie/en/employmen...

Messy marriage-kids-divorce aside, my I'm An Adult feeling was a couple of things. 1. Mom died, and there was no one left to do the Hard Stuff. If I didn't do it, it didn't get done, and it HAD TO 2. I realized that there isn't a rulebook. Do work, pay bills. After that, nobody really cares
