A man who fakes his wealth paired with a man who fakes his poverty. Sounds about white.

Do you know any ten-year-olds? Go look at them. They were born before gay Americans could have their marriages federally recognized. Today is the 9th anniversary of Obergefell. It is that new, it is that fragile, and if the Democrats lose power, it could go away in a blink. Please vote accordingly.

Debate week thoughts: Either the media doesn't understand independent voters, or I'm an unusual independent voter. I'm not swinging back and forth. I'm a liberal and reliably voting for one party, but I don't want to "join" it. That wouldn't make sense in a swing state, but where I live, it does.

Does anyone actually find traveling relaxing? I do it, I like it, but it stresses me out.

Every time I see "AI" being crammed into another consumer product I think of how in the 50s we put radium in suppositories because "the atom" was the snakeoil hype of the moment

Way more surprised that Arike Ogunbowale didn’t make the women’s 🏀 Olympic team than any other name being mentioned …

What's most creepy about this (and every other article like it) is it assumes AI will undoubtedly take over creative functions, and that we just have to make accommodations with it. It's like "this dog will be your new husband, there'll be a period of adjustment."

This report was so interesting—what's better for the climate, paper books or ebooks? Ebooks seem like the no-brainer answer, but how many ebooks do you need to read to offset the environmental waste of the device? Are certain fonts more "green" on the printed page? www.npr.org/2024/05/25/1...

What’s better for the climate: A paper book, or an e-reader?npr.org Books take a lot of resources to make. Digital readers do, too. What's the more sustainable option? The answer isn't straightforward.

Hey, I copyedited that! So excited that this unique and powerful book of short stories from Running Press is now out in the world.

Already over summery weather. 😅🥵 Let's skip to October!

Fellow introverts, just remember: You don't HAVE to chitchat with your neighbors while you watch the eclipse. It's optional.

The only upside of the @uconn.bsky.social WBB team not being in the championship is that I’m not stressed … just calmly rooting for SC and glad everyone’s finally watching women’s basketball. (I’ve been a fan since 1995, just sayin’!)

New in AP style: AP will no longer use Webster’s New World College Dictionary. They’re switching to the superior and frequently updated Merriam-Webster (www.merriam-webster.com). That’s this year’s bomb. There were gasps and applause throughout the room. #ACES2024

PSA: If you’ve had a stiff neck since, oh, 2012, it takes three (3) months of daily yoga to make it feel like a normal neck again. Achievement unlocked!

AI company: we trained this dog to talk. It doesn’t actually understand language, but it kinda sounds like it’s having a conversation by mimicking the sound of human speech. CEO: awesome, I’ve fired my entire staff, how quickly can it start diagnosing medical disorders

Today is the 15th anniversary of locking down all my social media accounts because Alex Jones and Sean Hannity began harassing me everywhere they could about the definition of "marriage," which had changed to cover gay marriage. What memories! Fuck those two shouty bags of ham, love is love.💜
