It devalues their humanity to attribute their niceness to their religion.

I understand that was not the intention but it is very easy to read it that way.

Yes, it makes me uncomfortable to read that.

Yes, it saddens me when people are reduced to any kind of a label, including a religion.

I can't believe I have to say this to @hankgreen.bsky.social : correlation is not causation

Maybe they are just two really nice people who happen to have the same religious background?

Please be conscious if you protest this weekend that there are feds at the protest. They look like you and they sound like you, not like Steve Buscemi in that one clip with the skateboard. Thinking you can spot them is self delusion. Nobody you haven’t met needs to know your last name.

I just spent way too long trying to figure out if an invitation to a book club/event was AI or not. If you're looking to invite an author to your event, sincerely: avoid form letters or stock language. Be as human and bespoke in your initial pitch as possible. We're getting CLOBBERED by bots.

If you can hear this image, it's probably time to schedule your colonoscopy. If you can sing the whole song, it's also time to get your shingles vaccine.

Time for Timer on a red background. Next to him, the phrase "When my get-up-and-go has got up and went, I hanker for a Hunk O' Cheese!"

He looks at you with this blank stare, daring you to tell him you tried to make sunshine on a stick in the freezer but the toothpicks never stayed up straight. He knows you won't say anything because you're embarrassed. You know he knows. He knows that you know that he knows. And yet, he just stands there, hankering for a hunk o' cheese like it isn't fucking impossible to get plastic wrap to stay taught on an ice cube tray.

You want to ask him for a wagon wheel, from his stacks of snacks, but you can't bring yourself to say the words, because now you, too, are hankering, hankering for the last hunk-o-cheese, and you both know you'll have to fight for it.
