I am so sick and tired of people trying to neutralize GenAI by saying, "It's a tool," as if that absolves it of harm that was used to create it and the harm it is perpetuating. ESPECIALLY if they compare it to a CALCULATOR.

It's about long-form improv and kissing was inspired, in part, by episode 60 of @pftompkins.bsky.social Spontaneanation (RIP) where Jon Hamm is the guest & @thejvclubpodcast.bsky.social ends up kissing him.

One of the nearly nonexistent sadnesses that I have about not dating a woman is not being able to get woman-hand-sized head scratches. (Kenny chews his nails, and they are never scratch length.)

I cannot find single lady version. Where is Phoebe Bridgers? This is our most dire hour, sir.

I heard "You Might Think" by The Cars on the radio the other day, and I've never been so sure a moody acoustic woman-singing version of a song exists before in my life.

I think part of the reason we're all so obsessed with Pedro Pascal is because he seems like the kind of man who would punch someone to protect you but then genuinely weep about it later because he hated that he had to be violent.

I put it on my wrist and spent almost all of lunch reading in the grass. What a thrill to be seen and cared for. What kindness!

My phone decided to go from working fine to barely functioning Friday. I had to go into the office today, & mentioned to my Real Friend coworker that I'd have to sit inside for lunch because I wouldn't know the time except "time to buy a watch." He chuckled, took off his watch, & handed it to me.

Last I saw she had married a much older man who was a registered sex offender. Wonder how that's going.

Elizabeth Deanna Morris Lakes @exclamate.bsky.social · Jun 9

Disappointed to learn that a person I was no longer friends with seems to have disappeared from the internet so I can no longer see if she's doing poorly or not.
