I am still dreaming of your face Hungry and hollow for all the things you took away I don't wanna be your good time I don't wanna be your fall-back crutch anymore

One sign of the rise of male supremacy and the decline in women’s status is the ubiquity of online porn lingo in casual speech.

It was this one, and, yes, I do believe that was an All In first.

Yesterday Jo had me, and Ellie, and her father read Baby Loves Coding and Baby Loves Gravity to her like a dozen times, so our future is in good hands I think

Our Big Dumb President finds yet another way to make this country objectively worse

The New Republic@newrepublic.com · 2d ago

President Trump is banning students majoring in degrees that don’t make enough money from taking out college loans. Degrees for social work, art, religious studies, teaching aides, and music will be hit the hardest. trib.al/aaAEu6v

I'm starting to suspect that my tax dollars are going to munitions I'll never use, either

Opinion: Mamdani's idea may sound appealing, but it's NYC taxpayers who will take the hit, subsidizing discounts they may never even use.

Lots of good replies here but my final answer is Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were Here, Animals (Someone already came in with Yes Album, Fragile, and Close to the Edge)

What's the best three album run from a band? (the correct answer is Moving Pictures, Signals, and Grace Under Pressure by Rush, but I'm excited to learn second place)

It's 100% true that the academy is woefully unskilled at preparing PhD students for careers in industry. It's also true that the lack of careers in the academy is a direct result of eroding government support of higher education. These things are not mutually exclusive.

It's hard to overstate how ISOLATING and scary it was with a child under 5 waiting for that under 5 vaccine. The world was kind of moving on and you not only couldn't, you had to be scared for your child every day

Kevin M. Kruse@kevinmkruse.bsky.social · 3d ago

Also the Republicans were screaming that Fauci helped authorize vaccines for children, which is something every goddamn parent I know was praying for every day for more than a year and have been thankful for ever since. These people are all self-centered idiotic sociopaths, nothing more.

"Come. And Be My Baby" - Maya Angelou

Apparently I was missed. According to Muscle Husband, while I was away Jo would occasionally stare into the distance, sigh, and say "where's Mommy?" When he reminded her that I was traveling for work she'd say, "of course, Mommy's on the sea!"

The silly goose police came to my house with a warrant for your arrest. I told them I don't know you.

"There are times when sorrow seems to me to be the only truth. Other things may be illusions of the eye or the appetite, made to blind the one and cloy the other, but out of sorrow have the worlds been built, and at the birth of a child or a star there is pain."

I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time. I crowdsourced and then finalized this document "How to disable or avoid intrusive AI" and then gave it a short URL: notoai.org Please pass along if it's useful

A long while ago, I wrote a pretty good piece on O Brother, Where Are Thou?, lies, & Oz. It was rejected on the explicit grounds that Real Classicists had no interest in engaging with "low-brow shallow comedy". Anyhow, at this moment of #Odyssey reception, here it is. medium.com/@anisestrong...

Mychal sits & shares that Ms. Rachel posted, “Black boys deserve to grow up.” This is not controversial, it is hope. Black library kids deserve to grow up to become Black library grown-ups. Black boys deserve to live in a world where that has not always felt true. Black boys deserve joy ✨

it’s never a great sign for your society when all the competent people who believe in doing a good job for the sake of it conclude that they’re actively being punished for these qualities, while malignantly stupid criminals are making bank

looking at the headlines and reflecting once again on how all the smart, hard-working, honest people I know feel like they’re going at least a little insane in our era of total Stupid Immoral Asshole ascendancy

Back in port, none the worse for wear. Did it go the way I wanted it to? Not in the least. But it do be like that sometimes. At least I have a few seawater samples and a LOT of mud to play with.
