When I chose St X, it felt like the least homogenous of the Catholic high school options and aspirational for someone who grew up in the South End of Louisville. This stuff is just further confirmation that that kid in 1989 would not fit in in 2025.

Chuckling at the people in the U.S. who consistently shit on people who live in "red" states... Well according to others in the world, the entire US is now a "red" state. Not so easy to overthrow authoritarians, is it?

I'm trying to balance the nuance between being aware what day it is (much less of weather or current events) and not having my blood pressure trigger a fatal heart attack.

Democrats need to understand that they can just say “It’s insane to threaten Greenland” and “I don’t think ICE should murder Americans in the street” and you don’t need to pretend to link it to the affordability crisis.

Say bad things are bad.

Meteorologists on The Weather Channel said "76" in tandem like it's not 1 degree below the high temperature everywhere or something. (NOLA in this case)

"after Homeaglow cleaned our house for $19, we *fired* our old housekeeper" is kinda like saying getting a free month on a leased vehicle we scrapped our paid off vehicle.

I know most of us are there, but... I'm fucjing tired. There's enough personal challenges (inblt the whole 100% blockage heart attack/open heart surgery recovery) without the pervasive bullshit beyond the boundaries of my house.

Yeah, more reasons not to use TurboTax.
First CES panel. Intuit CMO Thomas Ranese is proud of his company's integration with OpenAI, which involves giving AI read/write access to tax data. Since prompt injection attacks are unavoidable, I asked him who will be liable when customer data is exposed: Intuit, OpenAI, etc?

He had no idea.
