It’s always had life and death consequences. Just rarely for folks that look like you and me.

I love her so much!

Your publication rolled right over for him and he still kicked you out of the club. You’ve lost all credibility and torn your own institution down, and yet, here you are, still turning yourselves inside out with that ridiculous headline.

“Unlikely likely to pass” because it regulates men’s bodies, not women’s.

I love this so much!!!

Two sled dogs stand in harness on a snow trail, although "stand" isn't exactly the right word. The dog on the left, Leap, is smaller and blackish with a whitish snout and chest. She holds a rope in her teeth and pulls backward hard. The dog on the right, Colbert, is black and white and lunges upward with a look of wild enthusiasm on his face. He kind of looks like a bear, but hungrier.

IT IS ME, LEAP!!!

I interrupt my Iditarod training to bring you VERY IMPORTANT NEWS!!!

No. I’m going to assume he didn’t mean to be tone deaf, but he absolutely was and it’s entirely valid and necessary to point it out.

I first noticed it during one of the debates, but this is even worse. He’s also been dragging his right foot for quite a while. I wouldn’t be surprised if there have been multiple events.

Perfection!

After backing Trump, low-income voters hope he doesn’t slash their benefits Voters in the struggling Pennsylvania city of New Castle backed Donald Trump hoping he’d curb inflation. But he’ll be under pressure to cut federal spending.

I don’t currently subscribe, so I can’t speak to the content, but the headline is real.

This is me. I don’t care how many followers I have or likes or re-whatevers. I just wanna keep up with news/events/interests and engage as the mood strikes me.

Yes, and if you’re a survivor of narcissistic abuse, you can spot the signs pretty quickly. Even without dx, you can observe that someone has low empathy/manipulative/narcissistic personality traits. They aren’t particularly complicated people. The playbook doesn’t vary much.

You’d be surprised. There are breed specific rescues, and certain breeds are more likely to get surrendered because people don’t do enough research. I’ve had five purebred huskies, four of whom were rescues.

Most never are. He ticks all the boxes. Looks like duck. Quacks like a duck. Could be something else, I suppose, but all signs point to duck.

😂 It’s OK. You can stick to Pentatonix.

Yes. People with NPD are clinically low or no empathy. It isn’t a choice or something they can learn. They can only learn to mimic certain emotions when it will get them what they want.

I dunno. I think bringing a bunch of music stars together to raise millions for people in need is a trend we should revisit often. Without Do They Know, there would have been no We Are the World, LiveAid, etc.

Your meaning was perfectly clear to me in context, but non-gender-specific, or non-gendered, would be some other options. (I use “y’all,” to mean “everyone and anyone who might be listening” which is how I interpreted your usage.)

I remember taking a print production class (back in the Stone Age, before graphics were digital) and the instructor saying that scene was the most accurate depiction of the actual printing process she’d ever seen.

Hey, writer friends!

Mashed potatoes, so…hobbit?

Sorry. Can’t afford it. Ai came for my industry. But enjoy your disruption until it comes for yours.

Thankful for all you do, but disappointed to see you use ai imagery in your post. Isn’t the further enrichment of already rich tech bros at the expense of regular folks’ livelihoods something we’re against? Please, don’t facilitate them.

My favorite is when they lose their minds over someone daring to ask what their prompt was, as if *that* is somehow proprietary. They’re so close to getting it. And yet so far.

I wonder how many of the outraged people in this thread have shared AI imagery online. I hope the entertainment industry folks with some power and money, whose livelihoods are now being threatened, will remember visual artists as they wage the legal battles we can’t afford.
