Hi Mark, I work for urban dictionary and I’ve been trying to highlight words with this goal in mind. Dems need to be more fearless with their choice of words — say it how it is. “Weird” is NOT enough. And look how quickly that left the lexicon!

As a librarian, they don’t want users to navigate away from their platform. They want to gatekeep engagement. Social media has only reinforced the “let’s just say something without a source, trust me bro” in such a way that containing misinformation before it spreads is impossible. Like a virus

That would require critical thinking on behalf of the reader, unfortunately …

Me too! This is the librarian in me, I just like backing up what I’m saying! I also wanted to hear what else the engineer said…don’t understand why you’re giving me a hard time 🤷♀️

Like in a X post? I just don’t want to go around sharing that without attributing it to a source

Do you have a source? Don’t doubt it but want to confirm!

Ok, it’s already defined (circa 2023), why aren’t people using this as much as virtue signaling?

Did you coin “vice signaling”? I want to give it proper credit on urban dictionary, nice candidate for Word of the Day

I also didn’t realize until today that what they’re standing so proudly in front of is the machine that Lynch daydreamed about and led to the film’s title 💔

Preexisting rent cap is per AB 1482, limits annual rent increases to 5% + local CPI, or 10%, whichever is lower. A property is only subject to AB 1452 if the certificate of occupancy becomes 15 years old

Great time to join LATU (LA tenants union). I’m 100% ready to negotiate my eventual rent increase come lease renewal time. Landlord is restricted to raising our rent at a 10% cap. A fire started across our street last week lol…got no check in from them, they don’t even care about their property.

On kits look nice but they can’t survive in hot temperatures, both Shelton and Iga look drenched after an hour of play. I give it to them for securing contracts with the most promising players tho, but I will never spend $$ on their clothing.

And yes, there is a very deranged person behind all the words that are chosen on the front page. ;)
