And yes, I have lofty goals of getting “clinchpoop” and “sandbox croissant” into your lexicon. Former dates back to the 16th Century; latter I saw once on LinkedIn. Dude was taking a right-wing troll to task and he dropped that poetic epithet. I’m a cat owner. I assume it means what it sounds like.

People who gave a spoiled toddler matches and lighter fluid ages ago:

”Why is my beloved hoard of waste tires still burning? And how dare you put this stupid hose on the ground and then expect me not to stand on it?”

I used to tease my husband about his huge library of random cookbooks.

How wrong I was
NEW: AI “recipe slop” is overrunning search and social. Food creators say Google’s AI Overviews and glossy fake food pics are drowning out real, tested recipes — collapsing traffic and setting home cooks up for disaster, especially this Thanksgiving.

I just watched a 17-year-old cat successfully stalk his prey - a can of Easy Cheese he saw on a shelf.

There is still time to pursue your dreams, people!

Although the scale of this is still to be assessed, this is the inevitable outcome of the monetization of the algorithm. Rage-bait becomes a personal revenue model. Nothing about this should be a surprise.
NEWS: I spent the past 24 hours going through major MAGA accounts on Twitter, and a bombshell development has become clear: most of the right-wing ecosphere is being fed propaganda from foreign actors.

This impacts elections. This impacts discourse. This is major. Subscribe to support my work:

Great 🧵 about the virtue of modesty for your Sunday afternoon.

(Side note: if you’re loudly boasting about how modest you are, or if you’re loudly complaining about how horny immodest people make you, I shall not concern myself with meeting your standards of virtue.)
A friend who teaches theology shared with me a post about CS Lewis's Mere Christianity, which discusses foundational Christian logic across denominations. It reminded me of Dale's tweet below, and I wanted to share some thoughts here regarding modesty and respectability, which are often hot topics.

I’ve been wrong before, but I still think if you have two fundamentally opposed guys side by side in a photo, and they’re both grinning like they just got away with something, the not-senile one probably has the upper hand.

Suddenly men’s antiperspirant comes in 1,000 aspirational fragrances. I assume this is because in 2025, marketing logic is that men need to be tricked into Doing Hygiene.

Women’s options are contracting back down to “smell like a baby’s ass” or “smell like a different baby’s ass.” And they’re weak.

Humans can make life lovely & joyous for one another; we can, at the very least, alleviate a lot of needless suffering at little cost, if everyone just contributed a little.
There have always been humans who refused this bargain. Some early societies used to ostracize them. We should try that again.
My most woke opinion is that the whole point of society is to collectively help each other. My taxes should be going towards housing and feeding everyone. No one should be without food or shelter. Rich people should be contributing more towards this. It shouldn't even be controversial!

I’m not saying the Venn overlap of “sleazebag creep you should
not pick” and “no-talent hack you should not pick” is 100%. Tragically far from it!

I am saying I’ve met a lot of romantically unpickable dudes who are also professionally unpickable enough to constantly whine about not getting picked
bold move (if you're a fucking dipshit) to make a statement like this before the actual DOJ info gets released. you know, the place where you would expect to actually see "evidence of criminality" besides, you know, the actual, existing criminal convictions of *more than one person* in the story.

$500.00 paid to a “body modification artist” to carve mean words on her so she could play Distressed Damsel in the woods.

Between the work quality, its permanence, and the hoaxster owning a Maserati, that seems like exactly the wrong price for this…

but I don’t know which direction it’s wrong in.
SCOOP — A former staffer for Rep. Jeff Van Drew (R-NJ), Natalie Green, 26, was charged today for falsely reporting she was attacked by 3 men who wrote "TRUMP WHORE" on her stomach bc of her job. It was staged by her + a friend.

Van Drew isn't named in the complaint but I've confirmed w/ his office.

Rank-and-file bureaucrats in higher ed feel this harder than you imagine. Our job is to fall on the sword on behalf of the career academic who has never heard of any laws — especially around procurement, asset management, tax, or worker’s rights

(TBF neither has anyone he voted for amirite folks?)
I'm far from the first person to point this out but feels like it should be a unifying thing that struggling gig economy people can be one bad review away from ruin and white collar people often have jobs where failure has legal consequences while rich people can fuck up as many times as they want
it is morally abhorrent to me to ruin the lives of delivery people by giving them bad reviews but if you pick up my pizza and I have to text you 40 minutes later about whether or not you’re going to bring me my food I’m going to bitch about it anonymously on the internet
