Let’s talk about ‘whoa.’

First of all, ‘woah’ is not yet considered an established spelling variant of ‘whoa.’

While ‘woah’ has grown in prevalence since the late 20th century, ‘whoa’ is still about 5 times as common as ‘woah.’

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.

He’s seen the photos, she’s seen the photos, and there’s nothing else she can do or say. This is textbook, “I will never ask you a question I don’t already know the answer to.”

NOTABLE -- Pam Bondi refuses to answer direct questions about if the FBI has incriminating photos of Trump with half-naked young women, but instead deflects from them by attacking Sen. Whitehouse

Supper Mario Broth @mariobrothblog.bsky.social · 1d

Looking through binoculars around Moo Moo Meadows in Mario Kart World has a small chance of activating a "cute jumpscare" Easter egg whereby a group of Para-Biddybuds will suddenly look into the binoculars from the other side.

Governor JB Pritzker @govpritzker.illinois.gov · 1d

Pete Hegseth was busy ignoring his job and doing pushups as part of a show for the Guinness Book of World Records while Illinoisans are being invaded by Trump’s military troops.

Pentagon chief Hegseth more interested in pushups than talking with Illinois leaders, Pritzker says

The governor said the Trump administration is keeping him in the dark about immigration enforcement and National Guard deployments.
