OK, that but... AI? 🤷

I'm sad because I sometimes write like that and now I am going to look like a gormless goof...

"You'll get there, little fella", she said, presumably..

You clearly haven't been exposed to Acid Baroque...

Is there a chance that the idea of (ordinary) American prosperity is being exposed as a veneer of vigorous pocketbook economic activity hiding a vast chasm between it and an oligarchic singularity sucking in wealth like a black hole swallows star systems?
Or maybe that was already apparent.

Honestly if I didn't know it was a flaw I would have said "It plays with light, texture and colour to trick the eye and reward closer examination with variety emerging from simplicity.."

Meanwhile this pops up on my feed in FB and makes me think "nope!". I like my world to be teeny tiny!

Do you even work out, man?!

Mi Pa @baltusv.bsky.social · 5d

But.. But what if I *am* AI?

Has she started calling you Papa Owl? Do we need to organise protection?

Non-zero chance she will be so buzzed you won't be sleeping for a week..

Gotta hand it to Kim Jong Un. He really has a handle on migration.

Out of curiosity, is it required to credit "An Indefinite Number of Unidentified Authors Who Contributed Involuntarily"?

Also, not voting for someone is not "sacking" them and dooming them to a life of unemployment and poverty. Nor is it excluding them from being able to serve society

Just so we are very very clear. Emperor Palpatine must never ever be played by anyone other than Ian McDiarmid. Even if we need to conduct dark research to clone him and his vast acting powers...

Not trying to start a debate on the whys and wherefores but the people who vote "none of the above" - deliberately, negligently, or unwillingly (eg through disenfranchisement) seem to hold a significant amount of electoral power.

I really do appreciate the kind compliment but my brain rewrites those last two lines a thousand times per second 😊

While the right hold their noses to endure being jammed in the same tent with people they find morally or philosophically repugnant, the left can take the blandest, most workshopped, affirmative statement and schism on every syllable.

I think you should both make a habit of calling it the "Affair Window".
"How's your affair window, this evening?"
"I'm not booked, but as you know I accept walk-ins up to 8:25"
"Well we'll see how you're travelling after 8:25, then. If you're free I have some pre-school gossip..."

OK, visualising Arcee in legwarmers and a boofy blonde wig with Hotrod in parachute pants with a high flat top and fretless+headless bass. Don't know DrumBoy Advance but I am imagining BMO with a keytar...
