‘Why throw my life away going to law school, when I could just go to philosophy grad school to maximize my lifetime financial earnings and then read about the law in my free time’ I remember thinking

but god forbid they PASS A BUDGET

I thought Ellery Queen was going to be good, like Sayers or Allingham. He sucks

The deviled eggs were all gone by the time I got to them at the church potluck today. I was too far back in line

Today is the day if you want to see a whole lot of deviled eggs online. Really a great day for that and that alone.

I think one of the things about bluesky is that for a lot of its users, it represents a kind of retirement from social media. Like I’m tired and I want to get out of the game

Of course I'm crying because of the Earth photo from Artemis II! Look how beautiful, how precious and rare we are! How gossamer our atmosphere! What an impossible treasure we have!

The jolly co-operation of localising Dark Souls Ryan Morris, lead translator at Frognation, talks about localising Dark Souls games, and translating its strange world into English.

Do I know anybody local who might want to buy two Savannah Bananas tickets? We are going to have 2 extras for the April 12 game!

I am in love with Sam Kriss’s writing. Cannot get enough of him. Do yourself a favor and read this just to let the sentences roll around in your mouth

@fuggirls.bsky.social I want to alert you that the figure skating World Championships now have an awards show with a red carpet

... to me, it does not seem ideal to have a perpetual "yes man" in those scenarios. Writers need real, nuanced feedback. Business owners need to understand their business and target clients themselves and need to hear "no" when their idea sucks

I'm lookin' for hard-headed woman
One who'll make me do my best
And if I find my hard-headed woman
I know the rest of my life will be blessed, yes (yes), yes, yes
I know a lot of fancy dancers
People who can glide you on a floor
They move so smooth but have no answers

I asked the chatbot, and it told me the only path to excellence consist of sustained habits that allow a person to exercise their vital powers under conditions given scope. This seemed like work, so I asked again, and it hacked my LCD soundsystem to play Salt-N-Pepa's Push it slightly too loud

The Blue Jays are giving away a “Born Ready” bobblehead of Vladimir Guerrero Jr. on May 25, per @BlueJayHunter

my go-to answer is “affluent white man enjoys, causes the blues” but this one unfortunately has only gotten funnier every year I’ve been alive and on the internet

Goldman Sachs reports that 300 million full-time jobs could be replaced by AI by 2030. Labor turnover is high and hiring has slowed. 71% of Americans worry that AI will cause permanent job loss. As young people about to enter the workforce for the first time, the fear of unemployment is understandable, but we cannot save ourselves with the very tool that is putting us at risk. The irony is that as Penn pours endless money and energy into AI advancement in its attempt to get ahead, the University is only quickening its own demise. AI cannot coexist with education — it can only degrade it. As technology advances and workers are replaced by machines, schools are some of the only places we have left to explore and wrestle with human thought. With our own university leading the charge, AI is now corrupting those few sacred spaces and leaving us with nowhere to engage in true scholarship. Editorials represent the majority view of members of The Daily Pennsylvanian Editorial Board who meet regularly to discuss issues relevant to the Penn community. This body is led by Editorial Board Chair Jack Lakis and is entirely separate from the newsroom. Questions or comments should be directed to letters@thedp.com.

An unaccounted for part of the economy is how much young people virulently hate AI, despite how aggressively it's being forced on them. They realize it's making their friends dumber and ruining the world and they want nothing to do with it.

I think its obvious to everyone by now: that everyone in government should be fully prosecutable for any crime and be treated just like any other perp

I will also remind people that layoffs are traumatic, please take care of yourselves.

And play a simple but repetitive game (Tetris, merge, match 3) to help yourself process.)

I used to freak myself the f*ck out by telling myself I could "never again" use an old skill that was ultimately self-harmful. Our traumatized nervous system doesn't respond well to ultimatums & firmly closed doors.

Don't focus there. Focus on new tools you can use first.

For me a key trauma recovery tool is writing. Writing in my journal, making notes, making lists.

Trying to remember & work all this out in your head is a mistake, especially if dissociation is part of your symptom picture (& it is). Document & evolve your recovery plan on paper.

Nobody reading this has the option to not feel or not remember. Sorry.

Dissociation doesn't make us "not feel" or "not remember." It just diverts feelings & memories to "parts" of us that then have to hold them, alone, sometimes for decades.

We just can't do that to ourselves.
