Would still prefer for the gmail AI to die in a fire.
I'm fine with gmail sorting the email, that was useful. But in order to stop the absolutely obnoxious and irritating summarizing, I have to turn off all smart features, and, honestly, I can live with that cost.
I really want gmail to stop summarizing my fucking emails and suggesting replies, and, if possible, for its AI to go die in a fire.
"That's a nice soccer team you have there... be a terrible shame if something were to.... happen to them."
Like, as the hosting country, it is literally our responsibility to ensure the safety of the visiting athletes. Like, we have two jobs:
1: Provide soccer pitch (no dogs)
2: Safety of teams
I mean, I looked at the video of this kid, and my first thought was, "Yeah, that tracks." I've had so many versions of This Fucking Kid in my classes, and they are just a nightmare every single time, but this does seem to be Peak This Fucking Kid.
Loved this book and named my cats after it
Your regular reminder that your body needs water, food, and rest. If you do not give it those things, eventually it will declare a strike and make you cry uncontrollably.
This reminder is brought to you by another crying student in my office hours. Please, folks. Water, food, rest. Maybe a shower.
Everyone needs this adorable article right now. bbc.com/news/article...
Man, I'm just cheering that Gayroller on. Faster, Gayroller, faster!
(he also had excellent anecdotes about drinking with Sean Penn, and checked out my friend Karen's ass so obviously that there were audible snickers. still -- very good and useful speaker, and I actually was able to heed his tax warnings when I made my first sale!)
Gosh, that's the truth. My college once hosted Dennis Lehane as a speaker, and he explained that his best job ever was as a rich guy's driver, because he just sat in the car all the time and wrote while getting paid, and he gave us all really useful tax advice. A+ speaker.
That really sucks, Peter, and I'm sorry.
This is Amundsen, as a kitten, drinking water like an idiot.
I hope you add a good cackle here and there as you crush hopes and dreams. It's about professionalism, after all.
I remember how excited my father was for me when I told him how much I'd sold my book series for -- and then how progressively concerned he was as I explained the actual payout.
If either you desire to see this in its natural habitat, or Magical Fungus Maiden With No Eyes is the vibe you are going for (not judging, you rock that at the next con), here's the link: www.linennaive.com/collections/...
Okay, so first this chick has the whitest white blonde hair you can imagine, along with having skin tone best achieved by living in an underground bunker. Her eyes are closed, which given her eyelash color (v. pale. so pale, it appears that there ARE NO EYELASHES) and the general skin tone (again, we're somewhere on that line between "pure alabaster" and "corpse bride"), is starting to look a little distressing. Like, at first glance it is possible she has no eyes, just skin? The dress is old fashioned and cute, but the color is kind of "bruised purple" which... is not helping this overall look. Behind her is what I THINK might be pale purple florals, but honestly they kind of are looking more in the line of the fungi family? It's a look, is what I'm saying. A very complete look.
Okay, I know someone took this photo in order to sell a dress, but I argue that they almost might've been trying to create a cover for a gothic horror fantasy while they were at it. Possibly one written by @cheriepriest.com or @silviamg.bsky.social. IIt's giving "magic fungus powers, no eyes" vibes.
Today it was warm, so the kids were running around at recess in tee-shirts, while there was still three inches of standing snow on the ground.
Fucking peak New England.
Okay, but that is kind of the BEST description of author earnings EVER? @peterclines.com @stephenblackmoore.com @lishmcbride.bsky.social @charishkristi.bsky.social @djangowexler.bsky.social Look at this fucking gem.
Dear lord, that is just GORGEOUS!
THREAD: I got laid off from NYMag/Vulture after 14 years. The family lost 75% of income + medical. Now mzs.press bookstore, once a side project. is do-or-die for Judith & I. I feel weird telling you this because others are doing much worse. But if you could like or share this, we'd be so grateful!
My late Mother tried to open a bank account in her own name, with her own money here in the town where she lived her whole life. But the bank wanted her to put my Father's name on the account. Because she was a married woman, the bank thought she was not entitled to HER OWN MONEY.
Oh my god... are the scammers now trying NEG authors?
I am about to have to engage in a Zoom call that absolutely could've been an email, and I need to try to reduce my saltiness about this level of epic administrative bullshit.
I suppose I can spend 15 minutes in Crusader Kings II assassinating my enemies.

It's only Regime Change if it comes from the NeoCon region of Washington. Otherwise it's Sparkling Restructuring.
Hawkeye (and the writers room) knew.
It was really awful all around.
That's a really great program -- I wish community colleges here had that kind of thing. There are so many students who we are just fundamentally unequipped to help, and a lot of times we can't even hire people who specialize in teaching developmental skills.
It was a really tough situation.
I truly don't think her parents really understood the situation -- after MANY meetings, someone from the administration sat down and broke the news to her parents that, yes, she had a high school diploma, but even a community college was in no way prepared to give the kind of support she needed.
