This is what ChatGPT thinks the village might've looked like, which if you're familiar with the site is easily believable. It looks eerily familiar (at least the background with the creek - now a lake - and the mountains)

You ask ChatGPT a very simple question and it sasses you. That's me told lol

I am not an expert in California politics, so someone tell me if I'm wrong in assuming the wins for "yes" in southeastern California and along the northern coast are as surprising as I think they are? I always assumed those were more purple or even red areas of the state

I LOVE cooking. But some nights you just don't feel like it. That's when frozen and canned vegetables are your friend.
A lot of people will tell you to only use fresh. This is dumb. Frozen vegetables are just as healthy as fresh
This meal took 20 minutes (meatloaf is leftovers from the fridge)

Had a lovely time at the ETSU Reece Museum's artist reception tonight. Their exhibit "The Place Speaks" is especially moving as Invasive Queer Kudzu, a brilliant installation by queer Appalachian artist Aaron McIntosh is in dialogue with charming religious folk art by Rev. Jimmy Morrow

Before cancer I was getting really into cooking. If I knew how to edit videos I'd start a YouTube cooking channel for fun. Anyway, here's a salad recipe I think you'll love. This is one of my go-to lunches

The look on Cameron B’s face when Richard said he’s lived a completely celibate life has SENT ME 🤣🤣
This is the face of a man who is shaken to his core 😂

This is such a bullshit editor's note. The Daily Caller does not publish "a wide range of views." It publishes explicitly right-wing/MAGA views, as is its right. But they *chose* to publish this. They'd never choose to publish me, a socialist, I guarantee that - especially if I called for violence!

Watching the first episode of The Paper. It’s hilarious! I’m gonna love this show. And Domhnall Gleeson is adorable!

After Labour MP @antoniabance.bsky.social said she doesn't believe in myth busting and would rather let her constituents believe falsehoods about migrants, she got some (understandable) pushback. Instead of engaging with critics, she seems to have deleted her account

'tis important to read the survey. Mamdani is leading with a plurality among white voters. It isn't a two-way contest

Excellent book so far. This era always feels like coming home it’s so familiar to me. I believe I must’ve lived in late Victorian and Edwardian England in a past life. Granted I hope I wasn’t gay in it. That would suck. But then again, I could’ve slept with Prince Eddy. So that’s some consolation

A rant about what just happened to me, a cancer patient, because of America’s immoral healthcare system. I’m living off GoFundMe and these assholes want to withhold care until I pay their ransom
