Haven't seen enough reporting on this: all Texas public school teachers were forced to display the Ten Commandments in their classrooms this week ahead of back-to-school events so please do stay mad (not like we need more reasons)

You can think you're mentally stable but now imagine that your upstairs neighbor gets a treadmill that they exclusively use at 4am
They started playing Jack Johnson at the bar and I said "We're so back" and immediately two people said "No we are not"
I love how Talarico, who is deeply and openly guided by his Christian faith while his opponent is incredibly not, is exposing the whole evangelical gambit
Brandon Friedman@brandonfriedman.bsky.social · 4d agoThe questions are no longer about whether Talarico is ahead and can he win. The answers are clearly yes and yes. Even Fox News now has him over 50%. The question is whether Texas Republicans can successfully suppress enough votes to swing the election. They are taking active measures to do so now.
Something I've never been able to forget is when my brother told me he accepted a Maine Coon kitten as payment for an urgent endoscopy because the patient couldn't afford their ACA coverage anymore and he couldn't bear to turn them away

I know everyone assumes that when they apply to a job, AI is going to scan their resume and shoot it into a blackhole, but I'm here to say that last night I read through 250 resumes and I will read through the next 250 I get. And now I want to help content practitioners get a leg up so badly
No one asked me but I can't believe they passed on the opportunity to name the new movie Spider-man: Guess He's Not Going Home
you ever just think about how you can't hear one more thing about American politics
do any of my followers know Billy Joel? My favorite Long Island pizzeria's kitchen floor caved in this weekend and I need him to write a song about it
So you're saying "how do you feel about witchcraft" shouldn't be a round 1 interview question for my job candidates
Imagine thinking graphic design could get better than this
Yesterday I got my highest score in Balatro ever and I took a picture of my tv screen as proof and have only just realized that was such a peak 90s kid thing to do 🥹
Feels like every time you start searching for something you need to replace — a new backpack, silverware, furniture — everything turns to slop so fast. The targeted ads I'm getting for backpacks are pure AI garbage, selling for some weird ass price like $44.39
Reminder to change your a/c filter after this awful air quality, even if you aren't due for a replacement for a while 🫠
I'm obsessed with off-brand Lego companies that use AI-generated imagery to sell their products because where else could you buy a Lego set that includes the phrase "orbital insertion confirmed"
Pretty sure it wasn't the intention but this new bit of copy in the main Android pulldown menu bums me out
Is there a support group for system architects or do I just have to find a new vice
Just thought you all should know that my phone's voice-to-text transcribes "ChatGPT" as "chat cheaper teeth" and I never change it
Talk about a close call: I almost replied to a comment on Spotify
Everyone at work is unsure if they should go out for lunch because if the air quality doesn't get you, RFK's diarrhea lettuce might
The air quality is so gnarly in the Northeast this morning. Woke up with nausea and headache, and I'm no scientist but I think this might be related
So I have got to say — I thought Bryant Gumbel would have a way bigger impact on my adult life
can confirm, don't go outside if you can help it 🫠

I don't know how to explain this but this movie feels like it was engineered in a lab. Unsettling from start to finish.
