AI says and does some very strange things once it gets spinning, it's true.

I really wish we could put a lid on Pandora's box for a moment and create regulatory frameworks to safeguard society...will not happen, of course. Silly ideas!

Every senator who voted to confirm RFK Jr owns this tragedy. Every single one.

Encountered an article about how millenials are dating themselves with their skinny jeans.

Funny, I just wear styles I find comfortable and appealing; that is, was, and will always be flares and cargos. Cargos are "in" now, but I assure you, I'm only fashionable on accident.

Or the cheatings...here's hoping the states stand up for themselves

I love using em dashes. It will be my downfall, I'm sure.

Sometimes it feels like someone else must have written the early parts of my story, because I don't remember putting those words together, especially if they look good.

I've never made pasta before, but I'm so interested to try. How hard was it?

In reading a bunch about AI futures, this is the (unlikely) future I would like to see:

A surge in employee-owned cooperative businesses as AI takes the jobs of corporate decision makers for day-to-day operations, while people-facing jobs gain respect and wealth.

Unlikely, but a leftist can dream.

My heart aches to hear that. You loved him dearly, and cats in particular do everything they can to look better than they are.

With the first link, the chain is forged. The first speech censured, the first thought forbidden, the first freedom denied, chains us all irrevocably.

True, the government certainly isn't stepping up to save anyone. I was encouraged to hear the Nursing union come out to stand with Pretti. That kind of thing might be a place to start.

What's going to happen to psych units when folks are on a hold and there's no one to pay? We just eat the losses? Release people who are a danger to self or others?

There is no part of this that makes ethical or practical sense.

Geeze, I can't even imagine how exactly he shoehorned that replacement in. Makes one question if there was impairment. But hey, I'm just a psychiatrist who did two weeks of ortho 😬

Reading the reddit post about a satirical petition for Denmark to purchase California, full of people enthusiastically saying "yes, please." I suggested a BOGO with Oregon.

Thing is, though, the laughter belies a seriousness.

This situation is unsustainable, and many of us are desperate for hope.

If you watch Stranger Things Season 1 by itself, as originally intended, it's pretty darn good.

Turns out that's the best way to watch it, y'all.

Supposedly they reversed some or all of the (recent) SAMHSA cuts today πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™€οΈ But then my state might lose "federal funding," whatever that means.

We are in hell.

Actually saw Stephen Stills perform it in Eugene a few years back. Powerful song.

Pssst: Because of your support for indies & love for audiobooks, we were able to pay our bookshop partners 80% more in 2025 than the prior year❗

We also became a B Corp, fought book bans, raised $55k for libraries, launched a web player (y'all LOVE listening at work), & moreβ€”all because of you.

Thank you, sincerely, for standing up. You are not the representative for my congressional district, but you give me a voice through these actions. You represent me.

Rep Green is standing up courageously for this country. He understands the assignment.

He is standing up for me, and I hope he does not stand alone in the halls of congress.

Books alone can’t fix everything. But they can help us think critically and inspire our actions to build a better world.
