Unexpectedly crying this morning, on my favorite holiday, because I miss grandma and the farm. These days, my aunt rents an AirBnB in the same area and invites everyone but it's just not the same.

"The real poverty line—the threshold where a family can afford housing, healthcare, childcare, and transportation without relying on means-tested benefits—isn’t $31,200.
It’s ~$140,000."

I love lentil soup but man, it really does a number on my tummy. I'm glad I live alone now because you do not want to be around me for up to a day later. 😳

I kind of hate how internet fandom culture has fucked me up so much that as a ska fan, I ship Chris Murray (dad) and Vic Ruggiero (babygirl) with all my heart. Like, those are two actual people that I have met & talked with multiple times, but my brain says, no, those are just cartoons.
you think you can embarrass ME??? I’ve written BEATLES YAOI

I think a have found the inner levels of ska but I may have gotten stuck in one of the gay pirates honeypots; there is not nearly enough izzy on my timeline these days.
Pretty soon, *every* community is going to need to start adopting a weird cultish "inner levels" kind of thing, honeypots within honeypots, in order to filter out the zombie horde of genAI fuckwits.

This is exactly the the kind of shit I'd be dealing with if I still worked for a big company and this is why I don't ever want to work in the private sector ever again.
I don't use ChatGPT but my company mandates use of other AI programs. It's awful. They literally but out a document that says if you bring up ethical concerns about AI you will be put on a PIP

It is cold and rainy outside and I am cozy in my little garage apartment but my mom called and told me the local bin store just got a truckload of new stuff and everything is a dollar instead of three dollars and I hate that I am considering going outside now.

All pies are valid. We can debate preferences, but pie by itself is fundamentally good. It is superior to the alternative of No Pie.
Apple pie is bad. This is not really debatable. So is key lime pie, while we’re on the topic. Pecan pie is the 🐐 tho.

As someone that watches a lot of docs on topics like the buried pollution in Love Canal & the radioactive fallout material in St. George Utah, I feel like big mainstream news outlets need to report on & act alarmed by this stuff. The sooner, the better.
Sigh. None of this new. People don't matter.

In Morrow County, healthy adults were coming down with unexplained medical conditions, including diseases that usually afflicted the elderly.
In a survey of 30 homes, at least 25 miscarriages and a half dozen people living with one kidney were reported.

Capitalism breeds capitalism. Employers want the slop. They want you to use the slop, they want to read the slop. They do not under any circumstances want you to think critically.

Yes, this is incredibly funny but also horrifyingly valid. I am literally sitting here thinking I need to write my resume and cover letters like this. (Hi, here is me in my own words but also because the AI slop machine has taken over, here are some manufactured words to please the algorithm!)
