If I won the lottery, I wouldn't say anything, but there would be signs, like buying my niece the Calico Critters mansion

It ought to be a crime for a political candidate to make AI videos in which their opponent says stuff they never actually said.
Cuomo keeps embarrassing himself with AI slop ads.
Please don't ask me what I ordered when I'm at the drive-through window. Who I am now and who I am when I ordered through the app 10 minutes ago based on vibes are not the same person, and I do not remember.
The Holy Trinity of terms used in Pittsburgh-area businesses: steel/steel city, three rivers, n’at

Well, an acquaintance who relies on the ACA marketplace for insurance just received a notice explaining that their fee for coverage will be rising. Right now they pay $180 a month. The new price?

$2733.15 a month.
If you operate a business in the Pittsburgh area and tack “and that” onto the end of its name instead of “n’at,” you should be arrested immediately
Which isn't to say they're not still a thing, but there was a particular flavor of snobby reviews in the 2010s where reviewers were mean and wore it like a badge of honor and acted like musicians should've been honored to have them say they hated their album
Man, I do NOT miss the era of douchey music reviews
In college, I started blogging about Fayette County for a class, but after I moved, I (mostly) retired. I have come out of semi-retirement to compile resources for those losing SNAP benefits, which I'll be updating regularly as long as necessary.

I was just looking at the actual announcement and FYI it's opt-in (not on by default) and it is activated by your employer/org. Tracks what wifi networks the employee uses.

Protip: Have fun renaming your SSID!

I'm aware of it but as far as I can tell it doesn't have a substantive impact on my sales. I'm well enough known and my marketing is pretty good. Also, people have been doing this shit even before AI; Amazon was filled with "books" scraped from Wikipedia for years prior to this nonsense.
Sometimes, I forget about how heroic my dad’s actions were in Iraq. Thanks to The Giant Killer on Facebook for the reminder.

People who are certain the GOP will rig the midterms need to be clear about what mechanisms they believe will be used to achieve that rigging. There are definitely ways they can seek to influence the elections, but I get the feeling people think there's a big "Rig It" lever in DC they can pull.
This was also my first "if you're not gonna parent your kid, I will" moment, and...yeah, if your kids are throwing balls at me and ripping toys out of my kid's hand, I'm gonna say something
Of course the kids being obnoxious little shits at the pool were the children of a dude wearing "don't tread on me" swim trunks
My best friend sent me a picture of her new piercing, and I appreciate the fact that she circled it so I could tell it apart from the seven others in her ear
Shit happens. Concerts get canceled. You are not owed anything other than your money back.
I understand being let down, truly. I will never get over missing out on My Chemical Romance opening for Muse or seeing Head Automatica live. But to complain about it publicly to the point that you’re offered free tickets and merch is ridiculous.
I go to a lot of concerts, and I’ve had a few canceled over the years. Before social media, you’d get an email from the ticketing company, and the artist might post a statement to their website explaining why. Now, people want full-blown apologies and take it personally.
At some point over the summer, my friends’ group chat started talking about a famous female artist who canceled a concert and got backlash for how she handled it. While I agreed it wasn’t great, I also said social media has made people expect way too much. This is exactly what I meant.
