Ad-driven social media platforms pushing baked goods on me gives me a small bit of hope that maybe these platforms don't know me as well as I fear.
Becuase I was recently diagnosed with celiac disease.

What’s the worst question someone can ask after you tell them your profession? For linguists, it’s definitely “how many languages do you speak?”, but I’m curious what else is happening to the rest of y’all out there?!

The AI slop situation on Facebook is truly out of hand.

Today on Threads, I learned that Wicked ruined The Wizard of Oz.
In other news, pizza ruined chicken teriyaki and football ruined rhythmic gymnastics.

Another Game of Wool thought: Sorry, but the judge literally crying over fiber arts is incomprehensible.
I don't even get THAT emotional when I see items from my late grandma, and I loved her more than almost anyone in the universe.

Disability education should not be put into HHS because it's not a health issue, it's an education issue. The idea that disability = health is dehumanizing and, frankly, simply wrong.

After seeing the online fiber arts community kvetch about Game of Wool, I decided to try it under the assumption that it couldn't possibly be as bad as people said.
I regret to say that it truly is that bad.

Authors, Beware! There's a firm called "ClaimsHero" doing aggressive social media outreach claiming to
"help" you file to get $ in the Anthropic class action. In fact, it's a bait-and-switch, they are luring authors to sign up with them, then OPTING THEM OUT of the class action so they'll get zilch.

If Emmanuel Clase did what's alleged, that's bad. But it's a little rich for MLB to act shocked and horrified when they've wholeheartedly embraced Internet gambling.
You can't watch a game these days without constantly being told the odds for something or other. Maybe that wasn't the best idea.

The fact that a lot of leftists despise Parks and Rec - one of the best and most sympathetic depictions of non-cop government in modern media - is a symptom of the fact that a lot of the left has no idea how to actually implement the policy proposals they want to enact.
The reason 30 Rock succeeds years later while parks and rec has aged like a toilet full of milk, is that 30 Rock doesnt shy away from portraying Liz Lemon as an obvious villian with a victim/hero complex, whereas Leslie Knope was played just a straight hero character, even tho she is a neolib shill
