A guy in the expensive seats at Indian Wells was heckling Sinner over his doubles loss. During a singles match. For those who don't speak tennis: that's not normal at all.

A higher standard than what? They hold themselves to?

I wrote one back in 2017 re: my experience growing up as a tomboy in the 70s/transitioning in my 40s. Even got a nice note back explaining they had just selected another piece on the same topic. Day or two later: Lisa Selin Davis' "My daughter is a tomboy" was printed. So much for both sides.

I'm fascinated by how this editorial refuses the agency or motives of the purveyor in the equation entirely. More options = higher appeal, longer prep time per serving = longer lines/signaling theory.

You're in line for coffee because you chose to be, like everyone else in the line. Shut up.

there's a thing I like to call "load-bearing assumptions", that you don't notice until they're suddenly gone (e.g the air you breath has oxygen in it).

the post-ww2 order is a load-bearing assumption for basically the entirety of american life. trump took a sledgehammer to it in the last 90 days.

I know, I know but maybe it's a UX decision to compensate for some patient's communication barriers?

How much are they taking if it's daily? Must be a low dose pill. Or such a small amount by injection that there's a lot left in each "one use" vial. Either way I'm thinking we transmascs just need to get a group of such friends around us for sharesies.

The Italian plum in front of the Make Out Room is an unsanctioned donation. I say try the watering trick above noted above and if all else fails, go the unsanctioned donation route.

AI is auto-tune for karaoke. It's paint-by-numbers. It's colorforms. AI is Guitar Hero. It's as creative as a book of Mad Libs and as original as the results of an afternoon sip and paint. AI is the Lincoln Log cabin of design. It is the digital gentrification of human thought and originality.

And UK immigrantion waves were dominate through to the 19th century. Hence the Right's (ridiculous) claim of that being the US culture.

You are quite ambitious, aren't you. You do realize that normal non-homophobic, non-transphobic people out number your sort by a lot, don't you.

I can see why people question the provenance of this writing but not only has he had ample opportunity to practice his peenmanship, we have no way of knowing how many tries it took to get this version.

Shared (different) elevators with Lou Reed, Nicole Kidman, Guillermo del Toro, and Robert Altman. David Byrne almost ran me over with his bicycle once.

"Help find lost dogs" was definitely not the only pitch seriously considered by a marketing dept brainstorming an AI security ad campaign, but I'm pretty sure the geniuses signing the checks thought it was the most wholesome and above reproach.

The thing about the corporate shift away from DEI is that it's also about discouraging diversity of thought.

Pam Bondi sounded a little different before she started doing Trump's bidding.

There used to be people who did this, you know? Sketch artists, photographers. How is removing all the humans from the process creating acce... Oh shit, SCOTUS is a cabal of cyborgs, aren't they?!

β€œWhy is he targeting us?” asked Valentina Gojcaj, who owns two rent-stabilized apartment buildings in the Bronx. β€œThis is my investment and something I expect to retire on. What happens to me when I can no longer afford to run these buildings?”
