I think he's deliberately not signing the other bills so that they'll automatically become law without his having to put his name on them. That way, when he runs for president, he can have plausible deniability to cater to conservatives when they discuss his legislative career.

HE SUCKS.

I just saw a job posting looking for writers to help train AI that pays more than double what I currently make.

A redheaded Ginnifer Goodwin as Beth Ann Stanton dressed like a 1960s housewife smiling with the quote "I need to buy a gun." It's a meme made out of an episode of Why Women Kill.

I just stared at her before I was finally like... "Ma'am, fruits cannot range." And she laughed and was like, "I just mean, they weren't grown in a factory or something, right?" And I just smiled and blinked.

I once worked at an indoor playground, and this super crunchy mom asked me if the organic fruit snacks were free range. She was dead serious.

People are just out here saying words.

I'm not officially rating/reviewing the film anywhere, but reading this really gave me a new appreciation for some of the stuff that initially irked me and made me bump it up a half-star in my mind.

I have never seen this Curious George reaction before and it made me actually laugh out loud.

Welp. #TronAres is a movie that plays with sci-fi tropes that tech bros learn the wrong lessons from w/ rad action sequences, but is bogged down by charisma vacuum Jared Leto.

Greta Lee and Jodie Turner-Smith are why it ever comes close to reaching the heights it’s striving for.

I've been very lucky to have gotten to know her over the last few years and the fact this cycle keeps repeating is unsurprising but so fucking deranged.

Zelda has been sounding the alarm on the dangers of AI for YEARS, long before the technology got to where it is now, because she's:

1) brilliant (go watch Lisa Frankenstein).
2) ridiculously smart.
3) experienced first-hand how fucking WEIRD people are about her Dad.

Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. Stop believing I wanna see it or that I'll understand, I don't and I won't. If you're just trying to troll me, I've seen way worse, i'll restrict and move on. But please, if you've got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. It's dumb, it's a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it's NOT what he'd want.
To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough,
, just so
other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it.
Gross.

And for the love of EVERYTHING, stop calling it 'the future. Al is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be reconsumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume.

Dear Big Boys,

Stop wearing ill-fitting jeans that make you look like a divorcee or a toddler on class picture day and start squeezing into denim that makes you look like a saxophone playing sex god.

Teen Vogue has been doing exceptional reporting for nearly a decade, please stop being shocked by it or the fact that they're lapping competitors and pay them the respect they're (well over)due.

Kimberly Hébert Gregory had an impressive career and starred in two all-time great shows: Vice Principals and Craig of the Creek. Her talent was immeasurable, but as Nicole Williams, she truly did become a TV Mom for a generation of young people.

So much love to her friends and family.

Craig and Nicole in the kitchen fort eating pretzels on Craig of the Creek.
