ME: Now Mom, just remember, there's a lot of disinformation and AI in your social feed and your friends' Facebook.
MOM: I know! My friend sent me this crazy post where someone used AI to make an image of a giant frog fighting Army troops!
ME: ... okay, no, that one's ... goddamit, Portland.

Of course I don’t mind if you bring your 5yo. I’m dying to spend an hour listening you to tell her not to interrupt instead of hearing about your husband’s new restaurant or your job hunt or literally any other thing that’s happened over the last 18 months since we saw each other last.

It’s a shame it’s not Canadian cotton candy - then you’d have the French side to repel in a second language: “barbe à papa” (Papa’s beard)

Both my co-worker’s parents passed last year. They were both interred in a single mausoleum tomb/spot.

After all was said and done, there was a few hundred bucks left of the $100k they had left to their kids.

It’s criminal.

It took a highly sophisticated Jacquard weave to create the incredibly detailed oranges that form the fabric of of this early 1890s dress. You can almost smell the citrusy peel. There so many details to observe here, the pattern matching, the cuff trim, the drama! #V&A #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

This is your reminder that if your stomach can’t handle another coffee and herbal teas aren’t your bag, mushroom boullion powder + a spoon of miso + hot water makes a nice little warm drink

Hey did you know that this is what artichokes look like when they bloom?

Also did you know that artichokes will grow in Canada because I didn’t

In my 30 years as a #StarTrek researcher, this will forever be one of my coolest finds: This screenshot from #StarTrekTNG's "Qpid" shows both 24th/25th century Starfleet Captain Jean-Luc Picard ⬅️ and 20th/21st century thespian Sir Patrick Stewart ➡️ on screen at the same time. How, you ask? 🧵 1/6
