Think I’m gonna listen to Thrice all afternoon now.

I don't know how they do it, but they've done it again. Horizons/West may be among my favorite things Thrice has done yet (and that's saying a lot). 'Albatross' is it.

Took some screenshots of our mayor wearing a hairnet like he’s never been in a kitchen in his entire life.

The US federal attack on Portland has resulted in the best advertisement for a city that I have ever seen. Round-the-clock joy, community solidarity and silliness that much of the West has lost and longs for.

So thankful that dudes without game now have the option of driving all of our energy bills up to come up with devastating lines like it was nice to meet you

This is amazing. I laughed out loud www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

As 32-year-old Rich points out, though, "it's not like using ChatGPT guarantees success".
When he met someone in a bar one Friday night and swapped social media handles, he asked AI what his next move should be.
ChatGPT discerned that sending an initial message on Monday midmorning would set the right pace. "Then it gave me some options for what the message could be," says Rich.
"Keep it light, warm, and low-stakes so it reads as genuine interest without urgency," the bot advised. "Something like: Hey Sarah, still laughing about [tiny shared moment/reference if you've got one] - good to meet you!" Rich went back and forth with ChatGPT until he felt they'd hit upon exactly the right message ("Hey Sarah, it was lovely to meet you") but sadly she never replied, he says. "It's been two weeks now."

these little dudes lack self confidence so it is easier for them to approach and attempt to have sex with a woman if they imagine instead of people that the ladies are a set of systems that they have been taught the cheat codes to. maybe the least cool generation in a thousand years

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

Most times now when I polish off a bottle of wine at home, I roll the empty bottle up and down my neck vertebrae using the back of the couch and it feels oh so nice. 😊
