Excuse me, miss... I believe I ordered the large carrot? Hello!

…🧐

Maya Angelou implies the existence of Olmec Angelou, Toltec Angelou, and Aztec Angelou respectively.

Honestly, Mesoangelouan societies are, quite frankly, fascinating. 😤😤😤

I don't know how it's misogynist to say, with respect to this particular album, that Swift paid more attention to the marketing than the art, unless it's your contention that a male artist who released a mediocre album with this much fanfare wouldn't be treated the same.

It is interesting to argue that a loan is the same as a deal, but I can see where that argument comes from.

Ian Hecht 🇨🇦 @ianhecht.bsky.social · 11d

So the fact that the Supreme Court is willing to waste their time listening to this drivel is, I'm guessing, not a good sign?

Is there an article or study taking about this?

I was wondering what brought about the quote post, but I see Tom Nichols is trying to convince everyone that everything is hunky dory again...

Liberals say that recent Supreme Court ruling have given the executive branch too much power. But they’re wrong, because the rulings only apply to Trump and will all be reversed when there’s a Democratic president.

It definitely shows who they think is important. If it was their rights, they wouldn't be picking a stopping point.

People who coax chatbots into sensible answers are basically opening and closing the fridge until it contains something you wanna eat, yes, eventually you get hungrier & eat the stuff in there. But what changed was your cognition. The fridge stayed the same. You changed your mind about the contents.

How does our perspective shift when we change the way we read a story? Today's offering is to honour the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation (which Canadians observed on September 30th). amandabhecht.substack.com/p/repentance...

Putting Bari Weiss in charge of news at CBS is like putting Kristi Noem in charge of the SPCA.
