To be frank, if an author is using AI to dictate their social media posts, I wonder if they're writing their books.

At an old job, we had a new hire. He and I were taking the same bus home so we sat together, chatting about our significant others. When I rose to exit, he let me know we could never be together because his fiancΓ©e was crazy.

Still astonished at the audacity.

I've seen five or six similar posts today regarding emails purporting to be from authors, agents, and publishers, along with the four I've received from nonexistent book clubs and the one from the Editorial Director of Penguin.

If you get any unsolicited book-related messaging, assume it's a scam.

Picked up Duolingo for the first time in a while and I just noticed we can't dress up the owl anymore.

Used to be prizes were for extra perks but now they're for the ability to keep playing at all.

I don't remember the last census being this long and annoying.

I've lived in Texas since January of 2019. I just saw my first wild boars.

I wonder if landlord-tok is just them pointing at mold, announcing, "Remember! It's always mildew."

The USDA sent an email to grocery stores telling them they are prohibited from offering special discounts to customers affected by the SNAP funding lapse.
I'm aware of at least 2 stores that had offered struggling customers a discount, then withdrew it after receiving this email

The walkability is wasted if only a couple of businesses are open at a time, especially on Sundays when visitors are likely to stop by.

I like shopping local but the non-franchise businesses (near me) have weird, inconvenient, hours. If the neighborhood shops could at least coordinate on when they're open, that'd be great.

I've heard of melon seed soup, which I think is spicy, so I can see it

Spicy melon shake is an interesting time

Instead of "Chat," I just saw somebody reach out to "Hive mind," and that feels much more ominous.

Set my office vultures up for the fall. They look like they're having a nice time. Shout out to my coworker who had no idea what Macbeth is and thought I created the rhyme myself

Idk who needs to hear this but the hiring process isn't improved with personality tests. Especially ~multiple.~

It's a job, not Xanga in 2003. Jfc.

At least she lived a good life.

Narrator: She did not. They bought her less than a month ago after replacing the last busted hose with one that was way too short.

I'm telling the Lemon8 helpbot that I want to delete my Lemon8 account, not my TikTok account, and it's giving detailed instructions for deleting TikTok.

It's apparently impossible to delete my Lemon8 account without deleting my TikTok?

Don't make a Lemon8 account. You'll regret it.

These Gulf Coast Toads have zero survival skills. Had one hop on my foot the other day. I scooted me and my dogs away, keeping them calm, when he jumped onto my foot ~again.~

Like... To what end? What good could launching itself at the base of a much larger potential predator accomplish?

Wack. πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ

Having less success removing blue ink. Rubbing alcohol got some, as did baking soda and vinegar, but I'm still looking at a blue-streaked drum.
