I know everyone has roundly mocked her for this already but I cant stop finding dumb things about it lol. Like when it first started circulating I briefly thought it was going to be because she says “more than a dozen” and then lists 8 and then 3 don’t even meet the criteria

this seems like a good reminder www.npr.org/sections/hea...

Yes, heat can affect your brain and mood. Here's whywww.npr.org Hot summer temperatures can make you anxious and irritable and dull your thinking. Here's what researchers think is going on.

Bumble BFF seems dead for more reasons than it adopting AI to "start conversations." I swipe right on everyone who isn't looking to expand their faith-based group and isn't clearly a Ted Cruz staffer and nothing happens. Meetup is mostly like Bitcoin gatherings. Is there something people use now?

Sometimes my scroll gets it right.

what if they just have a new season of Love is Blind but it's voters and democratic presidential candidates

finding the silver lining of being able to get really into vintage tablecloths

did the grown up thing and bought the dining table that will accommodate my hobbies and not the one that would have better aesthetics

if theoretically you lived close enough to the Heritage Foundation to “make content” outside their headquarters how would you leverage that

Le Penance

normally I’d say I feel bad for the NYT social media manager because that work is thankless/underpaid and leadership doesn’t notice or care if you’re getting dogpiled (or they like it bc clicks). But deleting/reinstating entire platforms usually are decisions from on high so this is extremely funny

like if people want to use AI to congratulate me on my work anniversary on LinkedIn because they can’t be arsed to type “congratulations” that is one thing, but I ACTIVELY use whether someone actually read my profile as a filter on dating apps and this is really annoying

Lol I’m sorry what

ok this did not work at all. Randos who don’t follow me or seem to have any connections to my mutuals still just dropping into the mentions of posts that have not been shared widely

it seems possible though not confirmed that blocking the owner of a feed prevents you from showing up on the feed, so I guess I'm gonna try blocking @bsky.app for awhile? y'all will have tell me when there are feature updates 😂

dammit, I just bought new yarn after feeling pretty confident i'd eliminated the moths. Of course today I find two more moths in my closet. I don't even know what they are into as every other natural fiber I own is still in the freezer lol

Imagine being dramatically unfollowed IRL. You're going about your business in a grocery store when some random guy sidles up to you. "I'm going to stop following you," he whispers. "I've been following you for a long time, but no longer. Not after your recent statements." And then he sidles away

i can't read this either bc paywall, but I'm related to one of the writers, who says that this poll was a few days later than a lot of the national "omg biden bombed the debate freakout" ones, and also that Trump is being outspent 5-to-1 in swing states and it seems to be showing

NEW: Biden has narrowed Trump’s lead in swing states despite a widely panned presidential debate performance, the Bloomberg News/Morning Consult poll finds

Biden Narrows Gap With Trump in Swing States Despite Debate Losswww.bloomberg.com The incumbent trails his GOP rival by just 2 points across key states, a Bloomberg News/Morning Consult shows, even as three in 10 Democrats say he should leave the race.

I bought like a $8 thing of fresh butter “as a treat” but unfortunately now I’m just an expensive butter person

anyone else watching The Man with 1000 Kids

my cat's most annoying yet endearing trait is that she will scream at me until i come shake her food bowl to slightly redistribute the food

my other Bluesky wish is being able to avoid being in the Discovery feed at all if you so choose.

you know, when people ask you to think about the ways your tech could be used to harm people, it’s not supposed to be a feature brainstorming exercise

“The automated ammunition dispenser uses artificial intelligence technology to verify a buyer’s identification and age through card scanning and facial recognition software.” 💀

Vending machines selling bullets at grocery storeswww.cleveland.com American Rounds offers vending machines, powered by artificial intelligence, that are selling ammo for guns at grocery stores in Alabama and Oklahoma.

omg this is incredible, I didn't know about this. Sometimes I just want to buy one audiobook here and there (like when the library doesn't have it or the wait is too long), and i can never even figure out how to do it half the time on That One Site without being forced into an Audible subscription

Libro.fm is rad. 100 percent recommend. I have not looked back.

Same audiobooks. Different story.libro.fm Libro.fm makes it possible for you to buy audiobooks directly through local bookstores.
