They say nothing good comes from hate, but when I see artists hating on AI, it makes me immediately like them and want to check out their work.

Important reminder from Jeff Tiedrich:
"when these shitsticks leave office, there are going to be so many broken pieces to glue back together. please don’t scream at the next Democratic president when they don’t have everything fixed after three months. it’s going to take years."

VaccineFinder.org works -- I just tested it. It's run by Boston Children's Hospital.
They also run OutbreaksNearMe.org in concert with Harvard Medical School. It helps track Covid/flu rates with weekly self-reporting.

I just remembered the first time I heard of Pete Hegseth www.bbc.com/news/world-u...
Fox host says he 'hasn't washed hands in 10 years'
Harvard and Princeton graduate Pete Hegseth says germs don't exist because he can't see them.

It cannot be said enough, nearly every Democrat who listens to Carville loses, and nearly every Democrat who does what he's against wins. We just had an overwhelming demonstration of that a couple weeks ago. Put this zombie out to pasture already. He's useless.
The article is called "Out With Woke". He specifically calls for sacrificing all marginalized communities upon the altar of the revered white male. Is that how desperate liberals have gotten for any sort of hollow "win"?

No matter what you eat for the holidays, please never:
- comment on how much someone is eating
- comment on how little someone is eating

This can be a major trigger for people with eating disorders. Plus it’s none of your business. Thanks!

I can't post the article Scalzi shares here to @askamanager.org's weekend thread because replies are closed now, but going by the study, I don't think a mere typo is why someone's sales may be down
If you like an author's work, the best thing you can do is buy it. The second best thing you can do is ask your local library to buy it. Or, do both!
A reminder that the median book deal for a debut author in the UK is £7000, paid over 12-18 months. (from 2022 Society of Authors report). Some of your favourite writers are struggling. societyofauthors.org/2022/12/06/a....

95% of authors are not making a living through book publishing. The public needs to understand this.

Attacks and bombings continue. The displaced civilians need us as much as ever to survive.

Some vaccines like COVID and flu don’t stop completely stop infection.
But they do reduce the risk of getting infected and greatly reduce severe illness risk.
They are still worth getting.
Since they are not 100% effective it’s also wise to add another layer of protection by wearing a mask.

Pay attention to how men speak about the women in their lives, especially women who are doing better than them. Notice how he adores the women who serve his needs but despises those who excel without giving him a second thought, or no longer abandon themselves to fulfill his needs.

Hey! How'd you get into my apartment?
Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

If you're buying gifts for the holidays, maybe consider supporting artists, writers, creators. Gift someone a Patreon, commission an art piece, buy a book, purchase handmade jewelry, etc. Your support means everything.
