The President reacts to the election results

Confused by PA’s judicial elections and the whole weird, bizarre “retention” thing? Here’s a handy guide from the Philly Bar Association on who to vote for today!

Amazing that “No kings and no Nazis” is suddenly a controversial slogan and up for debate in 2025. These are the two most basic creeds of American history.

And to start the washing machine and dryer when asked to put clothes in them!

(That was teenage me.)

This is a great interview!

I was Dick Tracy that Halloween. I was 11. It was awesome.

Good survey construction

You have the something to remain something …

As a parent, as a human, this family deserves a settlement against ChatGPT that should put them out of business.

Got it, thanks! I was initially thinking that you had much better recall than I did. 😄

I’ve got to ask - how do you remember the precise dates of the original watch? Did you keep a diary or log?

Picked up @timqueeney.bsky.social’s new book ROPE from @maveybooks.bsky.social. So looking forward to cracking this one open! Looks really good.

My writing process is “research, research, research, make tons of notes … [months pass] … OK, now write!”

One source at a time? Nope. I’m assembling the story from a multiplicity of sources, and I have no idea what the combined narrative is going to say until I read all of them.

I do think some people really are weirdly ignoring the whole “LLMs can’t go out into the world and collect information that a human hasn’t already recorded and put on the internet” thing

When you’re making over $700k a year, gaining $12k is nothing. It’s a nice vacation, redoing the garage, giving a niece/nephew a car.

When you’re making $23k a year, losing $1600 is “are we paying for food or for the house or for medical bills” territory.

They are the absolute worst.

Yes

Are the internships paid, and what’s the rate and hourly expectation?

A new Deryni novel by Katherine Kurtz like the 70s/80s/90s books.

"I hate that the thanks I get for donating to a Democratic candidate is having my phone number sold on a list to a hundred other campaigns, all of whom send me passive-aggressive texts asking for my donation, often weirdly attempting a guilt trip, as though I knew them."

While DE school districts are smack in the middle of hiring and recruitment season, the state’s jobs portal - joindelawareschools.org - has apparently expired.
