We have been using a popular meal ingredient delivery service for over a decade which is why I was slow to react to their nosedive in quality after they got bought by private equity, but if you slap the food out of my mouth again and again for long enough, I start to get annoyed!
“As well-crafted as a first-class lawyer’s” is a biiiiig stretch, but I just held the realities of AI-written legal filings and sovereign citizens in my brain at the same time and now I’m having a crisis on public transportation

T H E VV O R S T@milfparade.bsky.social · 2w agoA few weeks ago I realized that tomorrow is the date the Ray Bradbury story “There Will Come Soft Rains” takes place. It’s a shame science fiction from 75 years ago isn’t relevant anymore

They should make a cough suppressant that suppresses coughs
When you watch old people television (Aerial America, Columbo, This Old House) sometimes you get commercials that drop you right into a dark night of the soul

Oh man I haven’t listened to this album in years, I wonder why not? Anyway,time to play it on repeat until I can’t stand it anymore
Philadelphia area telecommunications infrastructure not remotely prepared for all the bro on bro FaceTimes happening at this moment
I'm hearing that he saw the Boner 4Ever building and, while driving by, thought it said Bron 4Ever and that's ultimately what got him to sign.

Thus far we are only two lines into The Body The Blood The Machine which tells me it’s gonna be a big summer
Most of the people I talk to on the phone at my job are in federal prison. You feel like a real asshole when you small-talk complain about the weather to a guy in a penitentiary. “It’s too hot outside” I say to a guy who is at minimum 16 months away from meaningfully experiencing outside
The whole world is watching Philly this summer and Philly knows it

I’ve been trying to look at BlueSky (and all social media, and my phone in general) a lot less lately and if I had not already done so this week would have been eight hundred days long, my word
A document type I’ve never noticed before popped up in district court as an option - Notice re: Certificate of Non-Use of Generative AI. I do not know what it is and haven’t seen a judge ask for it yet but perhaps some judges are mandating no GenAI-drafted filings? 👀
I know it is the train’s name or whatever but I’d really hate it if I died of heat stroke and the news was like “Awww whassa matter, you couldn’t handle the Big Boy train event?”
I heard a reference to the White House correspondents’ dinner shooting and it took me a moment to place it. Like it was three months ago and nobody talks about it, just another dude trying to kill that guy lol
Currently engaged in mortal administrative assistant combat with somebody at a prison. I responded to her pitiful attempts to discourage me with some very pointed markup highlights on the institution’s policies, but I am prepared to escalate up to global thermonuclear war if necessary
