Oh my god, 6 year old just asked a post-bath question for the ages:“Mama, in your whole life, how many objects have you gotten that were cursed?”

One time when I was GOH at a con I told GRRM about my MIL’s housesitter who had just that day decided to “trim” her 50-year old bougainvillea to about 2 inches of stick.He was so horrified I texted her:“You tell him. You tell Bill the guy who put the Red Wedding on us all thinks he’s a fucking MONSTER.”

I’m going to say this slowly.If Andrew Tate & his ilk were right about ANYTHING they’d have no audience.Guys would listen briefly, apply advice, & be WAY too busy with their new gfs, side-pieces, & high income hustles to bother tuning in.It’s the Tinder principle: if you’re happy, they lose a customer.Their business model is your unending misery.

You know you can just not use AI, right?You can make a choice not to be part of this.Even if your job uses it, YOU don’t have to in your normal life. You don’t have to let your kids use it.You didn’t have it three years ago. You can just…be on Team Human. You can choose.

It’s hard to escape the dawning realization that part (or all) of the goal of Google’s AI Overview is to simply eradicate the concept of anyone else having any kind of website at all.Why click on a link & explore when Google told you the answer & you didn’t know it was wrong?Google’s long-con loss-leaders have been nothing but a ramp-up to replacing the entire internet with itself—& a single content creator they never have to pay.Except in the energy of the whole planet.

I swear I feel like fucking chaos-bees are buzzing in my fucking eyeballs everyone walking around with a straight face going “But the GOP is the party of no wars & good plans! What do you mean gas number go up? What’s a Hormuz?”Did we just give up remembering ANYTHING because it was too hard?

I need the phrase (or its equivalent in everyday casual speech) of “What the fuck” in as many languages as possible.Go.

@abananabag in the sense of doing that with the glass and then the files a complaint with the bus Union. Shock, horror, awe, maybe a touch of baffled amusement

Every once in awhile, I think of my favorite “…the fuck did you just say?” phraseology, which is from Homer’s Iliad, proving we have never, ever changed as a species, only become less fancily inclined.“What nonsense has escaped the barrier of your teeth now?”

You know, I’ve had a lot of bad days lately.Sometimes when they’re really bad I remember the one & only time I met Terry Pratchett, about a year and a half before the end.He told me I was beautiful and my name sounded magic.Nothing can be all bad when that was allowed to happen in my life.

All schools of political thought are just different groups musing: Wouldn’t things be SO much better if I &/or people exactly like me were in charge?Maybe it’s workers. Maybe merchants, philosophers, priests, soldiers, techbros, one inbred family, maybe it’s Maybelline.The impulse is the same.

I won this in a raffle prize basket.Allegedly, it’s “The Farting Farmer.”This farmer…is clearly dying of dysentery. While being drained of hope by a lich.

My 7 year old just reached for a piece of pizza fresh out of the oven and exclaimed, in the same tone as an adult swearing…“English *folklore*, that’s hot!”I choked laughing ENGLISH FOLKLORE AS A SWEAR? WHO ARE YOU?!?

The more that comes out, the more it feels like Epstein was low-key running half the planet to a bizarrely granular degree, until he died, at which point the desperate need to hide that fact kept on running it.
