So out of juice at the end of today that I'm just psyching myself up for one more email and then I get to review gift books which requires way less brain power than trying to coordinate events. πŸ“š

It's bizarre to me how many people in the comments here seem to think that automation is going to translate into more freedom for the working class.

When has that ever panned out? How much leisure time do you have, after years of these "innovations"? We are Charlie Brown trying to kick the football

Yes, hello, is that God? Yeah, hi. I have a complaint. You gave me this brain that’s designed for finding berries and avoiding lions and now people are β€˜just circling back’ to see if we can β€˜move the needle’ on β€˜key initiatives’? NONE of those things are berries.

Hideous building, but googled the architects and they also built the Logan Center at UChicago, so I look forward to the stories about how the building leaks, the electrical doesn't work, and it's half held together with like 1/2 inch screws.

Yes I am aware that he is a politician. Yet these days when a cis person says in public that they love trans children (or any trans people, really) I choke up a little bit

I propose that in october we permanently shift all clocks back by only 30 minutes & then fucking leave them there forever after. And if you think that's somehow more absurd than the DST/SDT dance, please take a deep breath and remember that clock time is fake & was invented for trains. It'll be fine

hey you. teenage girl writing in her diary. quit talking about the boy you have a crush on and start writing about the current political situation, the valuation of currencies, and the level of technology your people hold. your diary might be the only piece of evidence our society existed after nuclear war fries all of our data backups. future historians don't need to know about damian, they need at least a secondhand accounts of the great water wars and whether or not your leaders truly did worship a deity called "the free hand of the market"

alright, alright. you can talk about the clothes that damian was wearing. but only if you promise to define what each article of clothing actually is, ideally describing the materials they're typically made from also

We're subbing rolled oats, white sugar + molasses, 1/2 olive oil 1/2 vegetable oil (recommended in the comments), frozen mixed berries, and buckwheat flour.

I'm also just staring down my oven because I'm currently baking banana bread in it and waiting for the space to free up.

Things this muffin recipe needs: quinoa, whole wheat flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, bananas, honey, dark brown sugar, egg, olive oil, vanilla, blueberries

Things I don't have: quinoa, dark brown sugar, olive oil, blueberries, whole wheat flour

With all the subs is this even the same recipe?

Behold: the first-ever list of news outlets that have banned generative AI in their reporting. As of today, this is literally information that you cannot find on Google.

My goal is to fill the starter pack, so please send over suggestions with supporting evidence!
