If they can't manage their own lives, how are they going to manage a family? Without ruining it, of course.

I can relate to being inspired by practices that have survived from antiquity but "I like this theology because in my interpretation, it elevates me above those I consider my lessers" is generally about ideology rather than faith

Dear MAGA,
If you didn't want us to torch the mean asshole who made President Biden's age / physical condition an issue -- despite the fact he's only 2 years younger and in WORSE shape -- you shouldn't have thrown rocks in that glass house.
Turnabout is fair play.
Buckle up.

Ugly!!
This is a place I lived in for 3 months, a lifetime ago. Someone took the "meh" decor and made it into...this. This is the second such former home given the "bleah primery/ putty gray with white cabinetry" treatment. Yeah, start neutral, there's less to undo when you move in. Still ugly. /1

Yesterday my partner and I counted all the ads along Chicago's Brown Line for "Friend," a company selling an AI chatbot pendant, and tallied how many of those ads were defaced.
Still working on a longer piece on this, but here's the quick and dirty: we counted 104 "Friend" ads total, 42 defaced.

How to disable Gemini on Android, Gmail, Chrome, Photos, & Google apps. Opt out of AI tracking now!
Earlier this year, we warned you to turn off Gemini on Android because Google decided that its AI would have access to its users' apps - even if they had previously turned tracking for Gemini Apps Activity off. So regardless of whether you told Google’s Gemini not to track you in the past, its AI tool might be able to run tasks like send WhatsApp messages, set timers, and even make calls on your Android device. Worryingly, Google's AI invasion does not stop there. Now, Google has turned on settings like smart features, without your consent, and Gemini can scan your Gmail emails, Photos, Drive, and other apps. In this guide, we show you how to turn off Gemini on Android and all your Google apps – Gmail, Chrome, Photos, and more. Protect your privacy and your data from invasive AI tracking!

while I’m being cranky, access journalism needs to go. When the president does his “I’m alpha because I insulted you” thing somebody needs to fall on his sword and say “what the fuck is wrong with you, old man?” on a hot mic. the hero of the wizard of Oz is Toto.

The Parazine family in NW Florida was originally an Italian family, Paragini, in the 1830-40s. There are nearly a dozen manglings of the spelling in Census and other records, but the "Parazine" name took root around 1910.

Fort Pickens required 21.5 million bricks in its construction. Three decades on, thanks to newly-rediscovered concrete and a different design philosophy, Fort Jefferson required only 16 million bricks despite being slightly larger.

Some tongues were made to praise God. Some tongues were made to sing. Some were made for poetry, some for prose, some to agitate and some to soothe.
