I'm sorry but there would simply be no survivors if I saw someone try that

Thought the "Search with Meta AI" thing over at insta was just branding for "find your friend's account", but I guess it actually tries to answer questions

The first panel shows a crow with the title "How to live a good life". The second panel shows a crow cawing at itself in the mirror with the subheading "Make friends". The next panel says "Explore" and shows a crow looking into a commercial waste bin. The next says "Try new things" with a crow eating something vile. The next one says "Be curious" and shows the crow grabbing a hissing cat's tail". The final frame says "Get a hobby" and shows the crow looking closely at a book of matches.

Pooping on the hardest setting

First of all, fuck you

Second of all, what's "excessive"?

$244 (+ cc fees) because SB244 in Kansas is a hateful, anti-trans-folks bill that passed and restricts trans people from having IDs that represent their correct gender and forces them into bathrooms that also don’t match.
Fuck you, KS.

This post should solidify my reputation as "old" and "deeply uncool"

I went to Coachella in 2004 but got food poisoning from some walnuts and spent the day in a hammock at a campsite reading the original "What's the Matter With Kansas?" article and sleeping

The only thing I know to be true about cancel culture is when the worst people on earth were afraid of it, a whole lot fewer people were slinging the r slur around on social media

My biggest concerns were around infections, always a big risk the longer you stay in a hospital, compounded by anti-rejection meds (also, we were just starting to hear about this new illness coming out of China)

Having this as an added stressor was not fun

When I was in for my heart transplant in 2020 they brought up the fact that they were sometimes getting these infections but they didn't know why

I had to sign a form saying I accepted the risk

Kind of annoying to find out that it seems like they just weren't following the cleaning instructions

Also I mean "they were good at doing this"

ATT and Sprint and others knew how to do this work

I mean "good" in the sense that these ads (and many other efforts) contributed to some big shifts in public sentiment

Old skeptical habits die hard

It's a book that makes you work for the prize, but it is a fucking gorgeous journey

Pope Leo XIV • @Pontifex X.com When simulation becomes the norm, it weakens the human capacity for discernment. As a result, our social bonds close in upon themselves, forming self-referential circuits that no longer expose us to reality. We thus come to live within bubbles, impermeable to one another. Feeling threatened by anyone who is different, we grow unaccustomed to encounter and dialogue. In this way, polarization, conflict, fear and violence spread. What is at stake is not merely the risk of error, but a transformation in our very relationship with truth.

I recognize the value of an intersectional movement toward a just society

I also think it's funny that the guy who runs the "come eat the body and drink the blood of this resurrected guy" organization is lecturing people about "reality" and "truth"

(I have read it, it is great)

Spoiler alert!

Seems a little unfair to put this out when some of us haven't even had time to read it yet
