I think if I were to send the head of legal at Grammarly a note that said I broke into his house and took his wallet, but in future, he could opt out of me stealing his wallet, that would go great and they would be fine with that πŸ‘πŸ»

I think I'm also going to send an invoice along with my opt-out. Let's see: 40 million users who had access to ""my"" bad writing advice (per Grammarly themselves) x 220ish days that Expert Review has been live x a very modest $0.01 per day per user....

Some people owned and enjoyed playing a Sega Game Gear; it would still be completely insane if a society-wide decision was made that talking to a customer service rep required that you first spend a few minutes interacting with a Sega Game Gear.

(And this was in an email they sent to me unsolicited! Nothing like mass cold calls to really sway the unconvinced about your product that you claim speaks for itself.)

They could not have crafted a worse pitch for me, personally, who is raising two curious children and who worked for 20+ years in grant writing and book publishing. You are inviting me to outsource the tasks I care most about, that I am uniquely qualified to do, to a server. What an exquisite miss.

Trailer for season 2 Deadloch features this great cast, a Hemsworth, a shirt with a hammerhead shark on it, multiple crocs, angry tour guides; they have ticked every single box, no notes πŸŠπŸ™ŒπŸ» March 20 cannot come soon enough youtu.be/bEu3XAz0otY?...

Growing up, my family bought the VHS of THE BIRDCAGE as soon as it came out, and it was in constant rotation for family movie night. To this day, basically any time I trip on footwear, I automatically become Agador. I love this movie so much. Hours of happiness, indeed.

On this International Women’s Day, I honor Isabella Rossellini, who seems like the most international woman of all.

This woman is cool as shit already, and then you find out she could staff an entire jazz quintet herself (plays piano, guitar, bass guitar, drums, and trumpet). Excuse me??

Listen to my cousin. Deadloch is on Amazon prime in the US. I would also add, in terms of giving you context, it’s kinda Parks and Recreation meets Broadchurch, with just a ton of messy queers. NB: season two is coming soon and they added to a Hemsworth & crocs πŸ™ŒπŸ»πŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ”₯🐊

Oh hell yeah! This is where a guerilla crosswalk got put in just a few years ago and then ground out by SDOT. But, to their credit, they've been making improvements like this at this intersection ever since.

Science tells us, then, that the solution is MORE GUERILLA CROSSWALKS

Oh no, have you had bad experiences with PB @bethsrecs.bsky.social? I've been going to multiple locations for 20+ years and have always been satisfied with it.

+1 to the St. Bread and Portage Bay recs (Portage Bay better for sitting down, there are multiple locations, plus there's a Berry Bar(tm) that you get to visit with some pancake and oatmeal orders!

Grammarly's presentation of something they call Expert Review, including my name (plus Stephen King's, plus Mary Norris's), though to be sure I've never been contacted by Grammarly, much less compensated.

I would so love to know whether this started with the photo (he's making a very specific face) and a bunch of pitched headlines OR a general call for Hegseth headlines, after which the photo editors found what they needed.
