“Two Kittens And A Snail” by Alfred Arthur Brunel De Neuville.

That's not my dead grandmother, that's a cell phone

we talk a lot about the weirdo techbro obsession with immortality these AI necromancy projects embody, but I'm arguably even MORE fascinated by the terror of allowing yourself to experience deep, complex emotions they so obviously reveal you cannot prevent yourself from feeling grief with an app??

Worth a read if you follow (or are algorithmically induced to follow) the menopause influencer wars

🤦

On top of everything else, I just saw Buffalo's OT goal from yesterday

FAR be it from me to be hyperbolic, but at this point what's the point of Alberta having a fucking Charter at all www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

What are we doing here? Not only did they have to use the notwithstanding clause to ram this law through, but it's based on, not just misinformation, but a bald-faced lie

Sophie Kinsella has passed away at 55. Her Shopaholic books were among the most prominent of what was called "chick lit." Their popularity changed genre fiction. How terribly, terribly sad.

Today is Human Rights Day. What a cruel and ghoulish thing to do.

RIP Sophie Kinsella. Confessions of a Shopaholic is a modern classic!

I started a work email with “I‘m a bit puzzled by” so you can imagine how my day is going.

*watching a video of someone Ghostriding The Whip* We used to be a proper country...

When I was posting regularly on YouTube c. 2015-19, I had a modest goal of reaching 1000 subscribers. Closest I got was about 925. This year, a Vine compilation I made in 2019 hit the algorthim and well, dreams do come true...

"chatgpt my baby is crying what should I do?" "kill yourself"

Me when I'm told I have to use AI at work

Why is a government official in a country with no parental leave benefits telling women how long they should be breastfeeding for (yes we know why but goddamn)

Found out how to turn off all the "smart" (i.e. AI slop) in Google... but still getting this pop up. And no longer have spell check. I ACTUALLY NEED THAT ONE GUYS

Why is everyone trying to invent an all powerful orb that tells them what to do

This is my kids' fault

This is what posting on Bluesky feels like #pluribus

Take the time to read this. If heard most of the facts in here, but seeing it all together - oy

when someone tells me not to use em dashes because AI uses em dashes

My husband shaved his head but didn't take a before pic for r/bald 😔

seems to me this group of full grown adults ought to be able to make quick work of even the strangest of things. so no, i shan't be watching

You Can, and Will, Do That on Television.

Hamnet discourse eh... I feel like I should be the target audience for this but never been too interested in the book or the movie...

not sure what Gen Z has to do with a 43-year-old’s adaptation of a 52-year-old’s novel—and lest you think it’s just the hed, the piece calls Hamnet “mumblecore Shakespeare, conceived for the TikTok generation,” never mind that mumblecore predates TikTok by like 20 years

This is the one driving me bonkers because it pops up where my cursor is. Buddy, I'm working with the official names of municipal services here, much as I would like to shorten them, I CAN'T

Just to show I can see some nuance on AI: -I used Gemini to generate a complicated Sheets formula yesterday and it worked very well -Today I am making slides and if I get one more "Beautify this slide" or "Shorten this text" popup that gets in the way of what I'm trying to do I am going to LOSE IT

we have to go back. to warn them.

Will this event motivate me to finish AND review Don Quixote in December? Let's hope so! I have about 300 pages to go... drlauratisdall.wordpress.com/2025/11/10/d...

A platform can't be against or accept anything. Just like an LLM can't think or know anything. Hope that helps

My hot tips for avoiding AI slop recipes: -Save your recipes. Mine's a google doc now bc I lost decades' worth of notebooks in a fire. -Cookbooks. Invest in a few, borrow lots from the library (including Libby if you need it *right now*) -NYT Cooking (paid) or Chef John (free) in a pinch

The fact that these food blogs are all insufferable too - I opened all the ones linked in the story, and the amount of intrusive pop-ups, auto-play video ads, SEO and ads is crazy. Also, ironically saw this on one site, have no idea what this means/would do?

Done with Camus. The Fall is his masterpiece, followed by The Plague. The short story The Renegade is his most abstract and best piece of writing. His essay Reflections on the Guillotine is a brilliant analysis of capital punishment and how it engenders a Sisyphean cycle of revenge.

Great review of a novella that I recently bought, looks like I made a good choice! #novnov 746books.com/2025/11/24/n...

I was gonna meet my mom for our traditional Sunday morning mall walk. Made it about 2 blocks and turned around. Crazy icy out there! #yeg

@theglobeandmail.com published my letter on Alberta’s proposed expansion of private healthcare. Bottom line: it helps only a few, hurts the rest of us, and sickens our labour force. www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/lett... #abopoli #ableg

Mind-blowing non-satire 🤯🤬. #ableg (Yes, it's from today)

oh hell yea she’s still going

Hard not to be both depressed & infuriated about these regressive, science-free, & cruel actions. AB to invoke notwithstanding clause to shield 3 transgender bills from court challenges www.cbc.ca/news/canada/... Very obviously, NO evidence these MAGA are laws needed.

Here we go again …
