Every time I try to use Instagram I end up closing the app after the first 5 or so posts, because invariably, 4 of them are fucking ads
just absolutely astounding how a company this big and influential and renowned could release a product feature that's so stupid and bad
Why did MacOS's spotlight search become terrible? "Hmm, that's the name of an app they use all the time -- we should suggest the uninstaller for it, yeah?"
Photographed a wedding last Saturday, and while taking a group shot of the couple and their ~25 college friends, all Bowling Green alumni, and who’ve already had a chance to start hitting the bar, I go “so is this a bad time to tell you all I went to Toledo?”
I let my 7yo read The Onion’s “I work very hard, and I would like to try cake” op Ed by A Horse, so now the other parents at this birthday party are bewildered at why he’s laughing and saying “the horse wouldn’t like this cake!”

Gave my daughter a hug this morning. She’s 7. She told me, “I like your hugs because you’re squishy. I kind of melt into a blob” and after some calculations I think it’s a net increase to my self esteem
The well being of World leaders is not my responsibility… they are protected cared for and secure The well being of people who can’t afford the rent Can’t afford healthcare Can’t afford groceries Is my concern
Something I have in common with fruit trees is that I need a minimum number of chill hours to thrive

Plumbing company called me, and I realized it was an AI agent. Within 2 minutes, I had it go from "Would you like to schedule a plumbing inspection?" to advising me on the health/allergen considerations of a cookie recipe and stating the position of the federal government on plant-based products.
I’m a very non-confrontational person but if I heard someone say this out loud at the grocery store I’d call them a fucking creep
Claire E. Aubin@ceaubin.com · 6mo agoThis level of apologia (from Megan McArdle in a podcast with Josh Barro and Ross Douthat) is fucking appalling. Idk what else there is to say.
