I hadn't realized that the United Healthcare CEO was murdered before 7 AM. I can't imagine wanting someone dead enough that I'd kill them between MoMA and the Plaza before breakfast the week after Thanksgiving.

"I don't need anything from a man. A man is not a plan. A man is a companion. And so there was tension...which is why I would give him his money back. I don't need anybody to foot my bills." 🙌

Killing the site entirely within like two hours of announcing its closure is so fucking cruel to all the people who just want to save their clips to try and get new jobs. To, what, avoid paying another month's hosting fees or something? Fuck off.

This is actually fascinating, if you look at the other posts of the accounts posting "I'm sorry, OpenAI won't let me do that" it's a whole ecosystem of chatbots just talking to each other about random stuff. No humans involved, just endless sludge

"It's not illegal to buy & sell abstract art in America." Unless, that is, it's 1926 & you're the US Customs official who classified Brancusi's Bird in Space as a utilitarian object (in the category "kitchen utensils & hospital supplies") & thus subject to import taxes www.moma.org/explore/insi...

You bend over backwards to do things for people, like illuminate manuscript and do they even say thank you? Of course they don't. 👍🏛️🍑 #MuseumBums Illustration from the Psalter-Hours of Guiluys de Boisleaux, France, Arras circa 1245. Thanks @_medievalart for sharing

TIL you have to have a prescription for a mammogram. That's ridiculous. I can walk into a CVS and say, "Hi, I'd like a pap smear." You should damn well be able to walk in somewhere and say, "I'd like a mammogram." We need to overturn the healthcare system. This is insane.

So I finally watched Happiest Season, and I agree with everyone who said she should've ended up with Aubrey Plaza. Also, how are we glossing over the dad sinking all their savings into the campaign?!

One of my less bright ideas: climb onto the roof of a cathedral directly opposite the hotel the President of the United States is currently staying in, and get stared at by a load of secret service agents holding guns on the other rooftops.

You know, we need a law — if you want the tax write-off for destroying a finished piece, it immediately enters the public domain and the Library of Congress (or their designee) becomes responsible for archiving it and distributing it. I can’t write off my abandoned novels; studios shouldn’t, either.
