When it comes to writing, the process is the purpose. You don’t have to always like or enjoy the process, but if you don’t respect it enough to do it yourself, there is no purpose. AI will never fill that void. www.thehandbasket.co/p/refusing-t...

yes. they pay more based on income in taxes for the thing that is then “free” for everyone. this is how public services work

to reiterate:

one of the finest posts of all time

for national poetry month, consider picking up my debut horror poetry collection, bite back 🖤 it's about becoming yourself as an outcast, from the perspective of an afab enby with ~trauma~ to unpack. support your local bookstore, too, by ordering through bookshop: bookshop.org/p/books/bite...

It's Trans Day of Visibility today. If you're trans and are raising money for something (I don't care what it is), reply to this thread and I will boost you. If you are a cis person, take a look and find someone to support if you can. Everyone give this a share after.

All they have is negging and pickup artist techniques. Diplomacy by incel forum.

I need everyone to know that Andrew McCutchen hit his first home run as a Ranger while the Dallas furry convention was taking place.

no better time than now to bite the bullet(in), imo

hey, if AI proponents hadn’t been making up nonsense about AI tools while forcing them on us, then maybe people wouldn’t reflexively block AI tools, even when they actually work. that’s not on normies for being rational consumers. that’s on AI proponents for being systematically full of shit

from now until the end of his time in the league, i will be treating the period from the first pitch of the season until Joey Wiemer makes his first out as a batter will be a bacchanal on the day of his retirement a new free swinging, LHP-killing himbo will take his place

i need people to understand how often i recite this aloud to myself (daily)

‘Succulent Chinese meal’ speech added to Australia’s National Film and Sound Archive

May I interest you in Ballpark Cam but for Christian Yelich pimping the ever-loving mess out of a go-ahead home run?

hahahahahahahahaha

trying to maintain perspective and realize that this isn't the lineup we'll be running out there against LHP regularly since Chourio and Vaughn are both hurt. that said... woof

same guy just caught that home run that Murakami hit yesterday

lmao

this is likely the most optimistic i’ve been about an opening day brewers team… ever? feels weird, man. anyway, if you want to hear me yap.

Someone tell that weird “I steal my son’s blood” guy that the actual secret to immortality is an absolute dump truck ass. I just want to see what happens

And because I've seen the comparison: This is not an H.P. Lovecraft situation of "separate the art from the artist." Lovecraft is a century dead. He's not alive right now, trying to suppress records of his yacht visiting Epstein Island and swearing to make the lives of millions of ppl unlivable.

i guess those celebrating soras death didnt get the memo that some of us need daily personalized greetings from james bond—for mental health

Roth freaked it with this one

THREAD with some new Marquette poll results incoming...

Every picture of ICE agents in airports is just this again

Guys, you’re still trying to replace Big Boat Stuck. told you we can't do it, and we can't do it. Now, what we might be able to do is re-create him. Re-create him in the aggregate.

it’s 63° in beautiful milwaukee opening day baseball just around the corner i successfully made it through another winter of my brain trying to sabotage me many things to celebrate today

right ankles are also not real. they are an excuse

the Norwegian campaign against enshittification is pretty great tbf vimeo.com/1168468796

men showing genuine affection for each other, celebrating something they did together, as a collective. let this be a model for masculinity, not the fake hardo military bullshit

No more apropos guy to be the final out of a dying empire than a Roman.

The World Baseball Classic, summarized

man Kash Patel just finished blowing up all the balloons in the locker room guys

LETS FUCKING GO

[sees Minnie Driver in this Fox Women of the Bible series]: Will Hunting should have kept working construction with his Boston friends.

We hear “stick to sports” too much, but let’s be clear here: Team USA itself refused to stick to sports, eschewing representation of so much great American culture for, uh, Da Troops and nothing else.

DLSS off/DLSS on

Big Papi: Jackson, it's Papi... Jackson Chourio: Hey Papi Papi: Hey the United States, they kidnap you president about a couple of months ago... Does that give you guys a little extra motivation for tomorrow's championship game?

Guy who made 800 million dollars selling a website named ToodleCo to Yahoo in 1996 and has done nothing since then but now has $100 billion: the concept of “human kindness” was invented by bolshevik psychologists in 1953, no one heard of that term until then Podcast Host: fascinating, I have worms

Vinnie Pasquantino asked me if I'm gonna hit a home run. he also said the espresso tastes like a home run.

why did Team USA bring in Robert J O'Neill to talk to the team? manager Mark DeRosa said it was his idea.

My favorite part of the “do it for the troops” bit is the implication of if you lose you failed the troops. You hate them. They are taking bullets to illegally procure oil for your F350 King Ranch and you can’t even hit 89 down the dick from an Italian named John spaghetti. You fucking troop hater

It’s hard to blame woke DEI when the military is losing a war because of the straits.

would like to personally tell madi diaz to go to hell (complimentary) for making me weepy at work with her tiny desk performance

much like Italy in the world baseball classic, i too am fueled by espresso and kisses

cannot stress enough that "separate the art from the artist" was meant for private individuals reconciling the art they love with its flawed creators and not meant for the ceo of a company driving a dump truck of money up to a bigot's front porch www.theverge.com/podcast/8914...
