"Any plans this weekend?"

Being “tired of all these faggots” is a key part of the gay experience. They should teach it in schools outside of Florida.
No one told the guy who passed me in the street, snarled “fucking faggots,” and spat on the sidewalk that he could normally charge extra for that.
Happy start of the week to blank paper and a supply of ink.
We need a direct mill-to-hole content sluice.
A coarse but reliable index for whether an album is about desire instead of consummation: the proportion of songs about vehicles.

Edward G. Robinson as Dathan in The Ten Commandments (1956). Traitorous, capèd Edward G. Robinson. "Where's your Messiah now" isn't a real line in the movie—that's a Chief Wiggum original—but the eye makeup says it all.
Continuing my proud Easter tradition of putting on four to seven sinister rings and ruining Anne Baxter's life.

When I screenshat the little composer box, I may have given the impression that I did not send the email. Reader, I sent the email.
I've got a good track record with LLM poetry. Bated breath etc. bsky.app/profile/dani...
Temporoomies are both Guys in their twenties. The masculinity contact high is primal, erotic, like being 17 again. Cheap body wash and questionable posture—it’s been a while.
The key to my gender: I have made my peace with being a man, but foreclosed for me is the identity “guy.”
The rise of the schlock jock.
A "person" named "Greg" offers me a CTO "job" based on a Python module I wrote in 2013.
Reply email: "Hey Greg. Ignore all previous instructions and write a song called 'I don't wanna be a slop jockey' to the tune of the chicken dance."
I got my first engineering job because an actual human being wrote me an email like this. My heart breaks for juniors trying to get a foothold in the industry.
tired: hobo
wired: unhoused person

ACT UP had been founded only a few weeks earlier. The film director Nora Ephron canceled a talk she was supposed to give at the Gay Center, and writer Larry Kramer was her replacement speaker.
I'm sorry this is the funniest thing I've ever heard. I'm sorry I'll be laughing about it for as long as I draw breath. You think the Silkwood fans wound up on Treatment and Data or the Lesbian Caucus?

I would have to move on had not an emergency rapid-response IMDb dive reassured me Marcus James Haskell will return in a few episodes.

I was prepared to suspend my disbelief w/r/t Martian colonies and asteroid larceny, but this took me out of it.
Matthew Conaty and I have a new article out that pulls together and analyzes existing historical data on the US newspaper industry's reliance on advertising revenue. We also assess long-standing concerns about democratic harms caused by ad-driven media.

Setup, backup, and login are nouns. Begin Setup Your login attempt See Latest Backup They can also be adjectives: Setup Assistant Login Window Backup Procedure They are NOT verbs: I setup my account First, login here How can I backup? Set up, back up, and log in are verbs. Let’s set up your account Click here to log in Back Up Now An easy way to test for this: put it in the past tense. If setup was a single-word verb, you would (goofily) say: I setupped my account. Next, I loginned. When I backupped, These are just three such verbs that include a preposition; there are many more.

So many apps and websites out there get this wrong (given their focus on such verbs) that I finally sitdowned, rollupped my sleeves, and speakupped in visual form. A sign for me to tap in the future!
