A weird costumed easter bunny looking puzzled at a mall
All I said was that the Easter Bunny at the Menlo Park Mall was more convincing
Every day of life under Trump is waking up to a headline like, “Wyoming is missing”
Strongly encourage all academics, novelists, reporters, bloggers, whatever to just email this account and state that you want to opt out of this idiocy.
Overload them with emails and make them regret they ever tried this shit.

My idiot dog stole a hershey's kiss and ate it, foil and all, and the smells coming out of her now could wilt flowers instantly.
Come on out to Wisconsin for the semester, np!
I hope the lawsuit bankrupts them into the sun
I'm reviving my Good Place and Philosophy class for next Fall so I'm rewatching this show for the millionth time and it is still so fantastic.
Isn't milk already a protein item, why did they add more!?
I clicked the article, saw the phrase, and closed the article. Utterly cursed.
"Wing-flavored protein espresso martini" is absolutely the most cursed thing in this, the most cursed era
“Now, Grammarly has finally addressed the backlash — but not by apologizing, and not by walking the feature back. For now, it will graciously give us the chance to opt-out of something we didn’t know it was doing to begin with.”
I don't know why I love this but I regret to inform everyone that i continue to hate GenAI and yet I will 100% be confirming all plans henceforth with "clown event still possible"

Rocket is entering her Jabba the Hutt phase
HELL yea
Just admitted in an email that I finally have time to work because it's spring break and it wasn't even a joke 😩
*Has AI ever done me any AI-specific harm, personally (as yet)
*Well, they scraped a bunch of my novels to train the models
*I think this might be classified as "harm I myself personally did to AI," due to blameful science fiction dystopias, etc
I can't compete with this.
I will never back down from my deeply-held belief that a box of Tagalongs has exactly 3 servings and sometimes you need to eat 2.

Rocket says good night, sleep well, she'll probably kill you in the morning
So many people need to spend their lives in prison for what this administration is doing in our name
AI research:
Researcher: Claude, please eat ten hamburgers.
Claude: Done! I have eaten ten hamburgers. The first two were delicious, but after that I began to experience bloating and the meat sweats.
Headline: Anthropic Says Claude has "A Fully Developed Digestive System"
Same tabloid grift as psychics

As of today there are 3 dog toys in my yard that do not belong to my dog. We have an electric fence so she hasn't run off and stolen them. I haven't seen any dogs in our yard but regularly we have coyotes so without a doubt they are trying to convince my dog to let them in on the sweet deal she has.
"Warmly" 🙄
I've petted 4 different dogs today, a victory by any measure
This has nothing to do with the specific content here, but Polymarket adopting the language of news, here with BREAKING, and with Texas election results earlier this week, is BAD. Polymarket is not and will never be a news org or break news. It's a betting app. It's Draft Kings for sociopaths.
So this post broke containment and lost a little of the context when it did but Bikini Kill are the ones donating to TCP, not Bandcamp. We generally choose a different org or mutual aid fund to support on Bandcamp Fridays and this is what we chose this month.
move slow and repair things
