All I have to say about Avatar is that Cameron essentially admitted in the New Yorker that the whole thing was a vehicle for a battle between a helicopter and a pterodactyl and I support that premise. Everything else is set dressing.

Me, I've found direct service to be the only thing that ever works to keep people knowing they ain't entirely alone.
To that end, mutual aid folks: I got me a cashier who needs a bit of help today. Anyone got in on $150 for some insulin?

A warning from the lawyer representing the unjustly fired Oklahoma TA! Beware of GFM scams: her client is NOT crowdfunding at this time.
Please be aware of possible scams! My client, Mel Curth, is not seeking any donations at this time. She is grateful for your support and instead requests folks that want to help to donate to the local organizations of your choice!

This is a great example of how genAI steals from us all on multiple levels. It's stolen a promotional spot for real books and authors, it's stolen a job from an actual journalist who could have compiled this, it's stolen an opportunity for parents to be recommended good NZ books for their kids
#4 sounds like a lovely book but I didn't write it. Have had whānau up and down the country send me clippings lol
Whoever put together this list that has been circulated to regional papers, didn't fact check.

We have been making Nigel Slater's Christmas goose for several years. They republished the recipe in the Observer this year and it reminds me why Slater is one of my favorite food writers.

Looking through the Wikipedia page showing famous OU alums, I am wondering if @travismcelroy.bsky.social is the person to lead the charge for publicly shaming the administration here?
The University of Oklahoma fired an instructor for failing a student who wrote a reaction paper without having read the text she was supposed to react to.
By definition she failed to satisfy the requirements of the assignment—which she publicly disclosed before the decision to fire the instructor.

Adding on to the clip @parkermolloy.com found where the dumbass OU student admits she just rushed through the assignment.
This isn't an issue of a trans instructor trying to force students to adhere to their worldview...it's a moron student half-assing an assignment and trying to shift blame.

This is a rare not bad idea in the NYT but please let it not happen until my mom dies because I would not be able to stand the bitching every time she comes to visit.
“Pairing free buses with paid parking says we value people in motion more than cars at rest,” writes Nicolas Rohatyn.
Opinion | The Way to Pay for Free Buses Is to End Free Parking
Free buses would be transformative not only for riders, but for the ecosystem of the city as a whole.

We have been remiss in watching the Christmas episodes of our favorite shows this year so I'm catching up with Sports Night, and it strikes me that (a) Jeremy is such a dick and (b) Isaac is a boss who manages to compare himself to God without being an asshole.

I gotta say, having largely abandoned Lonely Planet in my travel section, this makes me skew it even harder towards Rick Steves.
It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.
