Happy Indigenous Peoples' Day.

Here's Deb Haaland in 2019, saying why, to her, changing the name of today's federal holiday from Columbus Day to Indigenous Peoples' Day isn't about erasing history at all. It's about correcting history.

a bowl of soup with a dark yellow hue, with Napa cabbage and scallion greens piled up to the top. Behind it and out of focus, a can of Asahi beer and a woven basket of napkins. All of this is sitting on a wooden table.

We love a dual purpose soup.

This is both birthday soup for my beloved @hana.cool and also “we hope you survived the experience” NYCC recovery soup.

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."

Just a reminder that Banned Books Week isn’t about selling more copies of 1984. It’s about keeping authors and teachers and librarians safe and making sure all of us have the freedom to read widely. www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/...

A message thread with Rob that contains an unplayed video of a bedroom with a blur of a tiny black dog with glowing demonic blue eyes at the center near the play button. Underneath, a text:

“Your son spent several minutes not remembering how to come to bed last night before I decided to take a video of it for you.”

Zoom in on the tiny demonic blur dog, though some text message is still visible.

Even more intense zoom in on tiny blur dog.

One time my mom yelled at me over the phone for like an hour about something stupid and upon the call’s conclusion, Rob—whose catchphrase in our marriage may as well be “WE ARE NOT REWATCHING GRΣΣK AGAIN”—silently pulled up the GRΣΣK pilot and hit play.
