I accidentally asked a mutual friend to join us for our planned dinner, which led to comedy gold as various other folks reassured @jimzub.bsky.social I might still like him, informed said friend of the situation, leading friend to bolt down his pasta & dash off like the Roadrunner (beep beep!).
This is an unapologetically sappy feel-good subject (at least, I guess, for people in a happy relationship”). So, to prepare for Valentine’s Day, what did you and your partner do for a first date?
My wife and I went to tea at Huntington Gardens and walked around.

My dad refuses to eat cheese. Nobody knows why. He used to love Mom's cherry cake until she made the mistake of calling it by the proper name - cherry *cheese*cake - after which he refused to partake. Utterly baffling.
On the topic of picky eaters, I just remembered a really happy memory about my father, so I'm going to share it. My dad would eat NOTHING that came out of the ocean. Nada. Which meant that my mom, who adores seafood, would sometimes have to prepare two separate meals. One for us and one for him.

I would personally prefer to space out those moments of peak happiness so I could enjoy each one thoroughly, but good for her! A gold medal AND a fiancee is one heck of a great day.
in more fun Olympic news, downhill gold medalist Breezy Johnson got engaged at the finish line of the super-G
(and yes, she "may have told him that I just always kind of had the dream of getting engaged at the Olympics" so this is the proposal she wanted)

Great little thread on the value of reducing ableist language in your writing.
I try to be hyperaware of ableist language while translating. It’s usually the obvious choice bc it's so baked into English. But it's hurtful and enforces negative associations. It's also just bad writing and lazy as all get out.

I called up one of the White House's "special government employees" involved in the Fulton County FBI raid.
I ended up on the phone for almost two hours hearing about the "deep state" "cabal," "Satanists," poison soda, and the "pure evil" of "gay pride." talkingpointsmemo.com/news/meet-th...

Love that Fiji is dreaming about peacocks, which makes me wonder if those are pleasant dreams or snake-style ones involving aggressive peacocks?

The Epstein class is forever attacking socialism because they are terrified that people will find out that government can be like this
Yesterday we kicked off NYC’s Free Tax Prep season. That means filing your taxes at zero cost, keeping every dollar of your refund, and not getting ripped off by for-profit companies.
Nearly half of all New Yorkers qualify. Get help—virtually or in person—at nyc.gov/TaxPrep

people who say that all creative endeavor can be replaced with AI probably need to reckon with the fact that all televised sports events with human athletes could easily be replicated by high-definition computer-animated simulations….and yet we don’t do this and no one seems to want to.

After the debacle around the Sun Chips ingredients list, can we really blame consumers for their skepticism?
Some context from that Lays ad.
People are very stupid and don’t realize that potato chips are literally made out of potatoes.
That’s why they were parading around a potato in that ad like it’s the fucking Rosetta Stone.

This is pretty useful framing for neurospicy people who find superficial social interactions tricky to navigate.
It reminds me of my favorite Timothy Leary quote about 90% of human communication being, at the core, simply "I'm still here, are you still there?".

leveled up with this explanation, cos as an autistic person i pride myself on reacting appropriately to animals, to signal harmlessness, so why wouldn't i want to do this for human animals?
never occurred to me to stop listening to the words and instead recognise the BEHAVIOUR.

A thread about Isaac Asimov that is true for the way serial abusers are handled in all fields:
"We would have lost so much if we'd driven him away" is the justification.
But we lost all those girls. We lost the women they would have become. We lost the work they would have done. Why was his future work so much more valuable than theirs?

I need everyone to know that on the crochet subreddit the mods made a big post about how they're taking a week off because there was too much fighting/political posts. so there's currently no mods on r/crochet and people are being absolutely insane

I have made... a mistake. Each auction lot had 8-12 photos, so I assumed that was the number of pieces in the lot.
It was merely a sample. Each lot contains 100-ish pieces.
I won three lots.
