Not to be THAT dictionary, but…

It’s ‘per se,’ not ‘per say.’
It’s ‘dog-eat-dog world,’ not ‘doggy-dog world.’
It’s ‘hunger pangs,’ not ‘hunger pains.’
It’s ‘one and the same,’ not ‘one in the same.’
It's 'buck naked,' not 'butt naked.'

The only excuse Lois Lane has for why her interviewing Superman isn't unethical, despite their romantic entanglement, is that it would be even more unethical for the paper's other top reporter, who is Superman, to interview himself, yet she cannot say this. This dilemma should be taught in J-school.

They'll cast these rallies as "angry" but everyone there is plainly having a great time because it's fun to get together with like-minded people to engage in the oldest American tradition: telling a tyrant to eat shit

Big ups to all the beautiful protestors today. Protesting is cool & good. Most of the ICE guys wear masks because they’re famous in the online piss drinking community

I am so glad that I can still listen to last podcast on the left after seeing them live. I saw some other podcasts and their fanbase was so cringe I couldn’t listen for a really long time

My boss made me write a page about AI and project management. I chose this picture to make it look as dorky as possible

Also I actually used my brain to write it, I didn’t use AI, and I started it with caveats that it will just make shit up

Why not both: I’ve invested more hours than most people learning how to use effectively, it fucking sucks shit

It remains a solution in search of a problem

Justin Wolfers @justinwolfers.bsky.social · 4d

There are basically only two positions in the debate about AI.
1. I’ve barely invested any time in learning how to use it effectively. AI sucks.
2. I’ve invested in learning how to use this tool. Holy cow, it’s transformational.

Position #1 has lower barriers to entry.

I’m also on zepbound, and I track on and off when I want to see iron/protein intake or I’ve hit a plateau and want to see if there are any insights I can get but mostly I just wing it because tracking anything outside of my Apple watch is a pain, I’ve been on it for a year ama lol

It’s one of those moments as a poor kid that you feel your poverty and everybody else can see it too. Like. It fucking sucks.

Anyways donate to book fairs lol

Kate @katenoisette.bsky.social · 6d

It’s so crushing as a little kid to see all your classmates getting like 4 books and you get nothing, especially if you love to read.
I remember begging my mom for some money for the book fair and one year she actually could and I got Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs. It was the best feeling.

Because I grew up super poor and loved to read I tend to overdo it with the scholastic books for my kiddo’s school
I also always donate extra money for kids whose families can’t afford books like my family often couldn’t
