In seriousness, I thought all the Texas universities let the bonfire thing go after the A&M disaster in 1999 (12 students were killed)

Big ups to Gmail for constantly changing the search sort to "most relevant" which has literally never shown me what I'm looking for. I really, really hate every computer

Oh this is just what I'm looking for, actually! I've spent months telling people how much money Scofield Thayer spent putting out The Dial. Thank you!

(Also I've just sent your Wattpad article to like five people; it's fantastic and I fully gasped at the bit about Oprah's Book Club)

I don't even understand the scale of money this would take. I mean, is it "buy a senator" money?

Maybe I should have taken one (1) finance class, but it was all, "no, the Romantic poets are important" —

(This is a serious question)

Sorry to jump in, but I've been thinking about poet canonization for months. Do you have any recs about things I could read to understand more?

She's correct that an effective formal "poster's strike" is highly unlikely, but she fails to recognize that the lightning bottles here is a culturally influential user base that came here to escape unchecked hatemongers and aren't going to stay on a site that allows them for long.

My alderperson was cuffed by ICE agents because she showed up and asked if they had a warrant. The agents are wearing masks and not displaying badges, in violation of city policy. My neighbors are organizing grocery pickup for perle afraid to leave their homes and standing watch over school pickup.

I'm so, so sorry. She was so loved by you, and so lovable.

This is why I have no patience with the “but you don’t understand, this tech can automate coding tasks!” sigh-ers. If there are any circumstances under which your technology can operate *specifically* to encourage a teenager to take his own life, it ought to be pulled until you fix it.

Nichole @tnwhiskeywoman.bsky.social · Aug 26

There is so much terrible about all of this, but what strikes me most is how often the teen suggested involving his family so he didn’t go through with the suicide and it appears that each time, ChatGPT discouraged him.

I just think it's an important fact about his personality that people can't tell from his terrible and disgusting actions!

An unfortunate but true fact is that Ga***n N*ws*m is actually devastatingly handsome in person. It brings me no pleasure, etc.

I dreamed I joined your church choir, in case you're wondering if your recruitment efforts are working (they clearly have managed to wedge into my subconscious)
