Well, the world is going to shit, but Mama Cardinal is back in my rose arch this year with a new nest under construction, so I'm going to watch that instead of the news for a few weeks.

I don't 'refuse to use' AI, I just don't use AI; in the same way that I don't shoplift, or plagiarise other people's books - it requires no effort of will, it's just not something I would think of doing

Allow me to address the elephant in the room: The decades-long outsourcing of domestic manufacturing to China was not an insidious Chinese conspiracy for dominance but the greedy strategy of the American ruling class to explode its profit margins by exploiting global inequality.

I keep my head down and turn out good work and I just barely made rent this month, but a lady calls a kid the n-word at a playground and she raises a half-million dollars in a week. I don't get the world, and I don't like it. We are surrounded by rotten dogshit assholes and they're thriving.

For this year's May the 4th, my Star Wars son requested Attack of the Clones, and I had truly forgotten just how atrociously bad the dialogue in this movie is. I am sorry!! But this is physically painful to experience in silence.

We LOVED the name Caoimhe. But a) we know it would get severely mispronounced and b) we were pretty darn positive that the first time she said "it's kweeva actually" in front of a shithead classmate, they would call her Queef-a for the rest of her life.

The reason why the orange convicted felon says “he doesn’t know” if he should uphold the Constitution is because he isn’t a President in any way, he’s a criminal who wants to be a tyrannical Dictator. The normalization of this evil asshole has doomed us all.

Local Entrepreneurs, take note that Trump does not give one single solitary fuck about you.

WELKER: Your secretary of state says everyone who's here, citizens and non-citizens, deserve due process. Do you agree? TRUMP: I don't know. I'm not a lawyer. I don't know. WELKER: Don't you need to uphold the Constitution? TRUMP: I don't know

Can totally see him using the day to display all of America’s top secret programs, like they are in a catalogue.

I didn't want to talk about Kneecap this week, but here we are. On what we choose to be horrified by, and what those choices say about us. www.irishexaminer.com/lifestyle-co...

This is blatantly anti-Catholic and makes fun of Catholicism. Will ANYONE in the Catholic Church speak out against it?

A new report found that Elon Musk faced at least $2.37 billion in potential legal liability from 11 federal agencies on inauguration day. Many are now on DOGE's chopping block or have dropped their investigations into Musk's corporations. "Conflict of interest" is an understatement.

Ask yourself: If the President so easily falls for photoshopped pictures he sees on Truth Social, what other complete falsehoods is he relying on when he makes decisions? How else is he being manipulated? That wasn’t funny. It was scary.

It really takes a lot for me to say this, but the Graham tweet is genuinely a pretty offensive thing to say.

Once, when my son was particularly excited and talked too long, he got bubbly saliva corners. Dry mouth in my house is now interrupted with: "You have rabies," which means "drink some water" and always makes me giggle. What are your favorite "insider phrasing" you use with friends and family?

Good god. Meta is using their AI licensing deals with John Cena, Disney, and others to peddle sex chat bots to kids. Burn this company to the fucking ground. www.wsj.com/tech/ai/meta...

I realize there is some obvious, valid evolutionary reason that a single detached lavender flower resembles a dead bug and also possibly mouse poop, but when I find it on my bathroom floor I am NOT A FAN.

Andry José Hernández Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government. No one has heard from you in 43 days. As vigil, I’m posting a photo of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.

As someone who was in Rome last Easter and got up at 3:30 in the morning for several days in a row in order to book our Colosseum tix in advance, still missed the slot we wanted, and rearranged our entire trip to accommodate the time slot we could snag... Fuck This Guy.
