Mostly we don’t need this asshole telling us what we don’t need

The confluence of stupidity and mean spiritedness is breathtaking.

Mark, you are the hero we need right now

Keep living the dream and enjoying new foods!

Perhaps wash it, cut the ends off, roll it in olive oil, season it with everything bagel seasoning, put it on parchment paper on a sheet pan, set the oven for 400 degrees and in about a half-hour, you will have something delicious. Sprinkle some cheese on top, as a bonus. Now you know my secret.

What Are Dreams For? Converging lines of research suggest that we might be misunderstanding something we do every night of our lives.

Why should I write better when a machine can do it for me? Because actually no one can do it for you, because your voice is unique among all the people on earth. Siri never petted a horse's neck. Alexa has never been ghosted by the captain of the football team. But you have lived, your heart is beating, you have suffered, and you have something important to say. It's a human's job, to use words, and whatever job you give to a machine, that part of your brain goes dark. Maybe it's worth it when it comes to remembering phone numbers and directions, but when that part of your brain that uses words goes dark, that's a vast area that's very close to your soul. Don't let some internet platform convince you that what you have to say and create isn't worthwhile. Words are the echo of your soul. Honing that echo matters.
