Question - only if you are still in the mood, of course - what do you like about the Swartland, SA wines? I've never tried one from there, but I still think about a Diemersfontein Pinotage in the Wellington, SA region a year after drinking it!
how did this turn out?
"We're going to create superintelligence" How about making outlook search work first. How about that
Do not underestimate the soft spoken, the kind, the gentle. It takes strength to be those things, sometimes more than you will ever know. If you look closely at someone who conducts themselves honorably, you will find something fierce inside.
The Kimmel suspension is a much bigger deal than you know.
It's really about a growing alliance between Trump and the companies that own America's local TV stations - like Nexstar - to turn local TV into Trump propaganda.
1/ Let me tell you the short story. It's chilling.
Okay, now I really hope I can use the iPhone 17 Air (this will only be possible on 17 onward because it requires hardware support)

tariffs have fucked this all up, but you can get them through amazon and mostly avoid them at the moment. she recommends the following brands: Cutebee, Rolife, Tonecheer, and Anavrin
I wrote about the 50th anniversary of Grey Gardens and Edith Bouvier Bealeβs legacy as a style icon. Huge thanks to the mighty @tomandlorenzo.bsky.social for sharing their thoughts on why Little Edie remains an inspiration π€
The more things I've made, the less I've been interested in publicly criticizing the things that other people make, because once you make a few things you start to understand what a miracle it is that anything gets made at all
Provided i had, y'know, storage/workspace i would in fact be going straight to The Woolery and straight to the LOOMS

I thought I knew the story of the "lost world" off the east coast of Britain, inhabited by Mesolithic people until rising sea waters engulfed it around 8,000 years ago...
But I didn't know about the *tsunami*.

We need more of this. Wonderful work by @paleofuture.bsky.social
Meanwhile, for those who have refused help purely because they were unsure, now you have families who desperately need our help, which are 100% absolutely real people, confirmed.
I always say I love my country the way Anthony Bourdain did, not as a benevolent state or one founded in innocence but as vast, beautiful place full of discrete people and cultures such as has rarely been attempted and worth fighting for.
Part of adulthood is learning to discern when your feelings & opinions simply don't matter. You can have them, but you can't use them as bludgeons to control what other people do. Your emotions are your responsibility & so is figuring out when they're out of proportion & how to manage that.
"Take the tale in your teeth, then, and bite till the blood runs, hoping it's not poison; and we will all come to the end together, and even to the beginning: living, as we do, in the middle." from "It Was a Dark and Stormy Night: Or, Why are We Huddling About the Campfire?" originally delivered as a paper in 1979

So our reporters got on a plane to Banjul. 1/
If I see another article about birth rates that refuses to grapple with the way having children systematically disadvantages women I swear to god. There is no mystery. Stop pretending there is. Weβve got to do away with credulity for nonsense.

One of my most important videos I think I've ever made, you're going to love it I promise. This goes WAY deeper than just "jailbreaking" for the sake of jailbreaking
bold of you to say, however you are not wrong!
Two photos. The left shows me, in a red shirt with a white blouse under it, a daisy flower crown in my hair, a navy blue knee length skirt, and brown flat, holding a tray and drinking from a champagne flute. The right painting is a woman in a red shirt with white cuffs, a dark green ankle length skirt, a maid cap, brown shoes, holding a tray and drinking from a champagne flute.
Today is the 5 year anniversary to when I slowly started losing my mind during the pandemic and began dressing up as works of art.
As my Twitter account has long been abandoned, why not make a thread of my madness on BlueSky?

Hey, so I read this and it stuck with me, so I decided to write a quick-and-dirty guide to getting licensed without having to actually deal with people. I hope it helps, and hope you end up on the air soon!
