Microsoft has spent north of $80 billion stuffing copilot into its many overlapping services and Outlook still gets a basic your/you’re correction wrong.

It’s almost as if the investment isn’t aimed at improving user experiences or something…

Hi I was wondering if you could repost this beautiful dog. Her name is Melia. She's looking for an adult only home. No dogs.

Remember: The real freeloaders in this country are the rich — not the poor or immigrants or any other group of people vilified as scapegoats. The richest 1% evade $163 billion in taxes every year. The United States literally has yacht and private jet tax deductions. Hello?

🥺 Sad eyes, sad face, only 3.5 years old, over 852 days waiting for that right person to adopt her. MELIA is just a playful, sweet, smart, fun, loving dog. Needing a Calm adult only home. No dogs.

Alice Vickery died #OTD in 1829. She was an English physician, campaigner for women's rights, and the first British woman to qualify as a chemist and pharmacist. #WomenInSTEM

She actively supported a number of causes, including free love, birth control, and the destigmatization of illegitimacy.
