Folks, I've created my own personally curated block list.

These people and organizations are offensive, reactionary, or rude. That's why they are on this list.

One person confessed to committing a serious crime. Report them, if you please.

my most lib opinion: so long as we have law enforcement officers, they should probably be able to pass an exam about what the law allows them to do without consulting notes

There were open book tests at MIT. That's because the answers weren't in the text books. You actually had to think and answer the questions yourself.
"nearly half..." ???

it's an open book test.

A man was arrested for playing Darth Vader's theme music, "The Imperial March," behind National Guard troops walking through Logan Circle.

Now the ACLU is suing on his behalf. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

I turned off spellcheck a few months ago because it's so ridiculously & aggressively wrong

Spellchecm had been on a downward spiral for years already. When "ai" became the buzzword du jour, spellcheck became intolerably stupid

What do you call a tool that makes the job slower?
Folks, it is the year 2025 and Word's grammar checker is suggesting that I should change "fewer" to "less few".

I for one think the Epstein Ballroom will be magnificent. I love the decor theme of “what if Uday Hussein ran a Ramada Inn.” And giving it a theme song everyone will associate with it is a stroke of brilliance! “Thank Heaven for Little Girls” is very catchy.

My cat, Stanford, was adopted in 2021. He is a college-educated cat (or so he says) and he runs the room.
Getting me up in the morning, checking on me during the day, and reminding me to empty his litter. He is also a handsome cat, according to followers of Bluesky.

My client asked if she could show me a video of her 12 yo grandson playing guitar. Yeah, okay (🙄) Anyway, the kid was playing Eddie Van Halen's Eruption solo. I wish it was posted. I nearly fell on my ass, he was THAT good. It made a fucked up couple of weeks so much better.

Maybe this is obvious to everyone but…why does the White House need a ballroom? It has enough space for state dinners, no? Is this for dances? Weddings? Storing classified documents?

Just confused so the reason would be helpful thx
