I favorite dog pics. She/her.
Sir, we call something you were fine without three years ago but now believe you need to function an addictive substance. At least heroin users know they’re addicts; you don’t even know that. I mean, unless chaptgpt told you.

A man, invariably: This is a girly hobby, so I can probably dive in cold, learn everything, and be giving advice and info to everyone within 2-3 hours Same man, 3 hours later, bleeding from multiple wounds, holding 8 ice packs, limping, sobbing: MAN DOWN MAN DOWN WHY ARE THESE WOMEN SO MEAN
My doctor’s office has a new furniture item and I know it must have a specific purpose — all the other chairs are normal — but I cannot figure out what it is. For nursing, maybe?
This weekend’s movie is The Godfather (earthling’s choice) and I have Forebodings
I just think what if Josh O'Connor and Glen Close swapped Wake Up Dead Man costumes
Help an NH state legislator introduce policy to keep AI out of public schools? Please share or tag interested people!
Seth Miller@wandrme.paxex.aero · 6d agoIf you were thinking about ways to keep AI from creeping into educational curriculum, what would your approach be? I have lots of scattered ideas but mostly just rage so hard to get anything coherent out of it. #NHPolitics
The earthling has found a new way to evaluate potential colleges: do they have Flock cameras on their campus or not? (Obviously, she prefers not.) I cannot say I’ve ever had a student do that.
The happiest I’ve ever made a stranger, I think, was when I told someone in a pharmacy that I liked her (unusual, knitted, lace-like, beautiful) top and it turned out she’d made it herself. (It took her more than a year!)
Stacey Burns@wentrogue.bsky.social · 6d agoThe other day at the grocery store I told a woman I loved her cute green shoes, which matched her cute green top, and her whole face lit up and she told me the story of how she bought them Giving another woman a compliment is a great way to get a little serotonin boost btw
Fun fact: If you made Dirty Dancing now, it would be set in 2002. But the plot line would make more sense if it were set in the present day. Sigh.
Sasha 🌈🌵🦕@indeliblesasha.bsky.social · 7d agoFun fact! If Back to the Future was made today Marty would land in... Sigh. 1996

Thefourthvine@thefourthvine.bsky.social · last wk.Fun fact: The Sting (1973), if made today with the same time difference, would also be set in 1989. It would probably be about a valley kid who joins with a sleek Wall Street conman to do a penny stock scam.

the cool s@sophiahelix.bsky.social · last wk.Fun fact: Chinatown (1974) being set in 1937 would be like making a movie today that was set in 1989, ie 15 years after Chinatown itself was made
Signing up for a meal train for the family of a friend of the earthling’s, so I asked her what he eats. “Mostly when I’m around him his parents aren’t there,” she said. “So?” I asked. “So he eats what his parents don’t let him eat. That’s what everyone does.”
Briefly considered if I needed to spoiler warning for Jesus Christ Superstar, but I decided that the spoiler period on Jesus’s death has probably elapsed.
Read five copies of Pride and Prejudice to death

We’re watching Predator, which none of us has seen, and I’m apprehensive
Welp. Roommate says she's likely not resigning the lease in August. Boston area people, if you know anyone looking, this is quite a nice setup for very cheap considering the space available + current housing market, plus new insulation should drastically reduce future bills. Signal boosts welcome!
Or, to put it an Internet way: My “AI isn’t evil and won’t eat your children and the planet” commercial is raising a lot of questions already answered by my “AI isn’t evil and won’t eat your children or the planet” commercial
Thefourthvine@thefourthvine.bsky.social · 2w agoThe earthling: “Guys, most companies don’t have to put out commercials to say ‘our product isn’t evil and won’t hurt you,’ so think about that. Except I guess you can’t, since you can’t even understand the lyrics to this song.”

Faine Greenwood@faineg.bsky.social · 2w agoIf you put “Meta uses Bowie’s ‘Five Years’ in an ad about AI” into a work of parody you’d be considered to be laying it on a little thick:
If no one else will say it, I will: it should be illegal for mosquitos to bite people on the feet. And if the bugs won’t respect that boundary, it’s on science to invent mini force fields to protect our feet. Frankly, I blame scientists for not already getting on that.
Just saw some right wing dipshit claiming the Roman Empire was free of bureaucracy and truly what a gift, i will be laughing at that all day
I just realized that based on this list I’m 72 years old. ‘S up, fellow seniors?

The thing about someone ‘improperly receiving benefits’ is I don’t care. Oh no did someone get food or health care? Good!
Autocorrect, there is a huge, important difference between “food poisoning” and “good pounding,” and if you can’t learn it, at least trust me to pick the right one, okay?
Is there an Idols with Animals bsky account or tumblr? I keep missing out on important news, like Namjoon standing near a dog.
People who live in places where it gets very cold in the winter: what temperature do you heat your house to?
Blue Velvet. My mom got it confused with National Velvet and thought it would be a fun way to distract the kids during summer vacation. We were distracted.
Patrick Klepek@patrickklepek.bsky.social · 3w agoDo you remember what *your* first R-rated movie was? I finally asked my mom (I couldn't remember), and she told me it was The Lost Boys when I was roughly the same age as my daughter (about 9). The movie traumatized her more than it did me, apparently
