Ridiculous bullshit. I have a loved one who can walk but can't stand for a long time and needs a cane in lines. Would she be gaming the system because her disability is mostly invisible?

It's rich that she claims "DEI" when the easiest way to screen her out as a candidate is a quick Google search

A human copy editor works with you to ensure that what hits the page is what you wanted to say (plus they catch redundancy, continuity errors, etc.); translators capture both meaning and voice. It's art. AI isn't.

Plus, it fucks over the artists. Using AI over real workers is real scab shit.

It really isn't. At this point I would just love a big group chat with all the good people where we just comment on stuff and offer emotional support and intellectual stimulation as needed

I think I'm going to be writing a book on some amazing behind the scenes shit that I discovered in the archives! Once I get the time to do anything interesting, so maybe when I'm 💀

I've been kicking around a cool smuggling paper for YEARS for this very reason

I don't know if I hate her knotted grammar or the insanely mixed metaphors more from the little snippets I've seen of this book. But the real issue is that I don't think my stomach could handle the sexualization of RFK Jr., so I'm gonna pass.

I'd prefer it if he was run out of town in disgrace, but this is okay too.

You should just update us here (complete with photos)
December 17, 2025 at 6:20 PM
Now you're just teasing us. Let me know when you publish it!
December 17, 2025 at 6:13 PM
Oh, I want to hear about that!!

I need the Raiders to win at least one more to save my hapless Cardinals from themselves in the draft

This looks like a very low budget remake of Dawn of the Dead

Drinking a LOT of coffee in the morning.

Wait, positive things? I've been coming downstairs at night to let the dog out, and while she's dicking about in the dark I've been playing soft songs on acoustic guitar while I look out at the stars.

I apparently need to be way better at negotiating my contracts

This is about private equity, so we are the pie...
