I will be eternally grateful to have been born in a literate culture where literacy was valued and expected and I still had the time, attention, and freedom to develop a literacy practice. Understanding context, inference, vocabulary, perspective, affect — all powerful, useful skills and values.
Basically I guess I’m saying bring back the personal pan pizza reading challenge but for kids and adults.
No joke. I think this is the most important video I have ever seen about mobile games. This guy breaks down how this game psychologically profiles you, and makes the game harder or easier in order to show you ads
Think about how little your representatives have said or done to defend their colleague Ilhan Omar. Now try to imagine how little they will do when it's our turn.
When you were working on a style guide based on best practices, research, and your own experience but now they decide “no one has this experience, we’re gonna use AI now….” 🆒 thanks. I guess I’m shit.
Won a credit card dispute against a shady ass hotel. I’m on top of the world.

I am once again asking why Megyn Kelly isn’t slowly dissolving into the warth.
What happens if I tell his current employers the reason he left HARVARD and academia and moved home 🇫🇷 to work at your silly start ups was to flee prosecution for SA. Not investigation, literally before trial. If he returns, he gets an express ride from customs straight to jail, no bail, until trial.
And I also don't understand why the prosecutor dropped the assault to rape charge and kept the five indecent A&B charges. That was the thing that happened. The other things were also assault but this was by letter the law. Who negotiated that? Why was it allowed? Was it to let the case slip away?

“Hey, enjoy life, and peace to y’all.” Every time we partake in this barbaric practice it feels like the air gets sucked from my chest. Systematically sending someone off to be killed, procedural, and formulaic shows we lack humanity.

Hey Mass Voters Vote NO on 5. Dumbest bill ever, funded by the rich people who are mad about the millionaires tax. Fuck them. They can move if they hate it here so much but they don’t! We need investment, not austerity. #MAPoli #NoOn5 www.progressivemass.com/issues/quest...

When it comes to ballot questions, follow the money. The funding for Question 3 isn’t coming from democracy advocates. It’s coming from private equity execs and venture capitalists who bankroll education privatization, conservative Dems, and Republicans across the country. #NoOn3
Hey Mass Voters: vote no on 3, all party/jungle primaries. If we want new ideas in office, we need ranked choice voting, not this. An all party *reduces* candidate options to ensure wins (bad). Also it’s for corporations to buy candidates. No thanks! #mapoli #NoOn3 www.votenoon3mass.com/voteno

Gov Healey has a plan to assist with winter oil prices and Mike Minogue thinks she stole his idea. That no one, besides him, could ever think “hm oil is too $$, lemme use my power find a way to reduce it.” Loser behavior. His constituents will eat it up.
The uncle I haven’t spoken to in 13 years now is getting a remote (I think?) job for an ICE subcontractor. His career was in fiber optic cabling and had actually done the work on the pentagon just before 9/11 (womp womp). I assume it’s fiber optic cabling. TBD on company name and function.
@sanders.senate.gov, @aoc.bsky.social, and Senator Jeff Merkley introduced the Ban Flock Act on Friday, which would stop federal agencies from using ALPRs like Flock. Now, 404 Media needs your help. @evystadium.bsky.social has more. Read now: www.404media.co/lawmakers-in...
Here I was thinking everyone has a huge nail budget, spends their free time in salons, and nail artists (like good with fancy designs) are plentiful but they’re actually wearing press ons. 💅

Brett Smiley is still a raggedy bitch. You don't like the city or the people, you just want money. Move somewhere else.
Early 2000s, college, first trip to Whole Foods. Lady rang up a green pepper for $5 and immediately I’m like wtf???? Something is wrong? And she sheepishly says, “well.. it’s a big pepper.” Reader, it was the size of a baseball, not a pomelo or watermelon.
Got a car cover for the storm bc as much as I love the Fih 🌹 the door drains get overwhelmed in strong, prolonged downpours. I feel like I 50yo accounts man who drives a corvette.
The worst, corniest lyrics ever, generated by AI in the style of contemporary christian praise music, as a gift to an age gap sidechick who also wants his wife dead.

But the lawsuit is about non-Black Tesla employees and managers abusing Black workers — including allegedly hurling the slur at them in ways that don’t sound like anything resembling gestures of ‘respect and endearment.’”
