Someone in San Antonio, TX reached out to me today because she has a sweet, magical boy with FIV who desperately needs a home ASAP. In fact, he's so sweet that his name is Sweet Boy. Look at that face - he obviously just wants love! 💔 (continued with more info)

This week's newsletter: It's time to call BS on generative AI and demand that companies like OpenAI actually provide useful, helpful software, and actively reject the growing coterie of hucksters using AI as a marketing tool to get media headlines. www.wheresyoured.at/put-up-or-sh...

Factoid doesn't mean little fact, it means erroneous fact that is repeated so often that it is believed to be true so the idea that factoid just means a little fact is itself a factoid

okay it's time for a prompt post: respond to this post with a correction to a common misconception about something you know a lot about. if you feel like it, boost your response. (please use a kindly tone about it, otherwise i, your prompt curator, will get anxious.)

not an original observation by far, but: one of the most useful things about project 2025 for the left is it's a way to organize people against Christian nationalism, and beyond this election, because they are not going anywhere

Meanwhile over at the patreon we are still analysing Montague Summers' intro to the Hammer of Witches. This month he wants you to know you can't be a Catholic if you don't believe in witches. For...reasons. Anyway check it out from only a quid per month. www.patreon.com/posts/malleu...

JD Vance looks like exactly what he is: a soft-palmed fancy boy who drives his lifted F-350 to his job in finance

My sister's family is visiting and we were watching Come Dine With Me on Channel 4 OD or whatever it is called (do not @ me I don't care) and I saw the witch show on there. So I said, "Oh hey I'm on that TV show if anyone wants to see it?" My 9 year old niece immediately: "NO!" Like damn bitch OK?

There is a possibility that author of "Hillbilly Elegy" could be the candidate for VP. I don't think this goes far enough. Make it Dan Brown. People *love* conspiracy theories and if you can make the Catholic Church look extra-sinister, that's the Maraschino cherry on top.
