So during lockdown I watched all of Bones on Hulu then watched Castle on Hulu and have since watched many detective-y shows and now I am watching Elementary on Hulu and now Hulu is recommending to me… Castle. Perfect. I am in a snake eats tail situation with network detective dramas

baby nephew reached out for me to pick him up so I did and he yanked my nape-of-neck baby hairs, open mouth slobbered on my cheek, then curiously touched my cheek like girl why is your face wet?, then hugged me. I love him so much I feel like I could explode

applying to a million jobs where I’m immediately rejected for not having the exact required experience then every day multiple times a day seeing the leaders of our nation and the heads of very important departments do the stupidest shit does NOT make me feel insane why do you ask

This is framed as a feel-good story, but it should scare the wits out of anybody on the road. Tesla's deceptive marketing is convincing seniors that the cars drive themselves. In reality, a human must always be ready to intervene. If someone lacks the ability to do that, they shouldn't be driving!

Forget rideshare. How seniors are using Teslas for transportation

As Waymo and Tesla robotaxi services promise more rides for more cities, seniors are taking matters into their own hands and self-driving Teslas.

just started Elementary and my two main thoughts are 1. it’s so funny that the first question out of Lucy Liu’s mouth isn’t “why is your name Sherlock Holmes? That’s insane” 2. Lucy Liu is one of the prettiest people on earth

A lot of people don’t realize the dust bowl wasn’t a natural phenomenon. It happened when agrobusiness interests dramatically transformed the plains without regard for drought, and created vicious dust storms that choked whole families to death. That’s what I think of when I read about data centers.
