Now this is a story all about how
A shattered visage lies half sunk with a frown
And I’d like you to look at that pedestal there,
It says “Look on my works ye mighty and despair.”

There once was a king, Ozymand
Who bragged about all he’d command.
Trying to fill his foes with fright he
Said “Look on my works, ye mighty!”
But now it’s all trunkless legs and sand.

I heard there was a statue tall
That sneered at folk and commanded all
But you don't really care for symbols do ya
It goes like this the feet the fist
The head that fell the aim that missed
The long lost king whose name was Ozymandias
Ozymandias
Ozymandias
Ozymandias
Ozymaaaaandias

Thats why it’s called “Bagger Vance,” right? Because it kind of sounds like “Bhagavad”? Thats what I assumed.

Why do these questions only ever get asked to Democrats? No one told Christopher Rufo, shut up with this CRT stuff, you’re turning off normal voters who don’t have any connection to this. They grabbed it and ran with it.

I couldn’t narrow it to just one, and it was hard to narrow it to four. A good year for music (or do I only feel that way because I was 16 at the time?)

No, we don’t.

Yes, the weird line breaks of “during” and “with” (the h got lost) and “brought” are not something that word processing software would do nor a human, but AI would (cf the letter about Jerome Powell that fooled Mike Lee).

The bag that I randomly draw Scrabble tiles from admitted that I have all the best opinions.

Yes, they think we’re just coming out of the “weak men make hard times” phase and into the “hard times make strong men” phase, but it’s basically the exact opposite.

Someone I love just had a big polyp found on a colonoscopy.

In addition, my college roommate died in 2023 of colorectal cancer at the age of 52.

If you are average risk, please start getting screened at 45. If you have a family history, you need to start younger than that.

The thing I want most from social media is smart people with a different frame of reference – often due to race, gender, disability, sexual orientation, country of origin, class, academic training - to tell me what the world looks like to them right now. Bluesky does this. /3

This isn’t a case of leeks or chives or scallions. The first noun is みどりな玉ねぎ, an onion that is the color green, and the second noun is ネギ, a green onion.

And English

A translate box where the input text reads, in Japanese, “midorina tamanegi to negi wa chigaimasu,” and the output in English reads, “Green onions and green onions are different.”
