New York Magazine@nymag.com · yesterdayOn social media, a broad consensus is that you can’t admit to struggle — at least not while you’re struggling. Doing so represents a failure so profound it’s almost existential. How did it become mandatory to demonstrate perpetual growth and progress online?
not sure if it's good or bad that the dsa, which until 5 months ago was a book club for underemployed grad students, is beating to a pulp the billion dollar harvard educated democrat operative janissary class with 5 shitty flyers and some twitch streams
the sigh that left my body. sighs within sighs within sighs, a sighducken, the sighpocalopyse, the sigh of the times, the inceptsigh, arch deluxe with sighs, blue sighs smiling on me, I sigh with my little eye, sigh newhouse, the palace of versighs. and a little tiny manicured sigh, aka a bonsigh.

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.
