Oooh, I'm thrilled! Really hope they do the material justice

For the Terry Pratchett fans among us

The Washpost, which is bleeding millions of dollars and shrinking its staff, accepted -- and then rejected -- a $115,000 ad that criticized Elon Musk. Anyway, here's the ad that the Post's business side didn't want its readers to see ⤵️ thehill.com/media/514849...

I love the shadow in this one. Her inner gremlin

The military has lost the mandate of heaven

I forgot to send my grandmother a thank you note *one time* and she never sent me a birthday present again. Such a relief.

Andrea Pitzer said something about people posting to each other about Trump with "body horror or the color orange" and now I think about that every time I see it

I was not able to report this as having the wrong name. The submit button was grayed out. I had to report it as "something else"

My daughter did machine learning in school (image recognition) and they always, always called it machine learning and not AI. I recommend the same for the OP, because AI means generative AI in the minds of many people

Black folks know this, but I need everyone else to understand it too. The term ‘woke’ started in the Black community. It was about being informed, educated, conscious of social injustice & racial inequality. Now, hyjacked by the right & weaponized against us. That’s why I’ve left the word behind. 🧵

Thank you. You have always been one of the best representatives and have earned a lot of trust. Please let us know what we can do to help, and not just what we want you to do

Thanks for explaining all of this anyway. A lot of what you said makes sense, especially where the MSM punishes Dems for things that are fine when R's do them. And how cathartic actions can clash with effectiveness. Voters kneecapped us and it sucks

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world. Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

remember, the blitzkrieg is intended to make you feel like there is nothing you can do about it; that’s the only reason to go forward in this haphazard and sloppy manner all in the first week and the choice of that strategy tells you they are afraid you *will* do something about it
