I went overboard grocery shopping, stocked up on vegetables, drinks, and snacks.

And now the snow is coming so I am going to pretend that was intentional.

I’ll go with the obvious and say a café serving Levantine treats called C’est Bajoran Bon.

The dorks delved too greedily and too deep. You know what they awoke in the darkness of Khazad-dumbass ... brainrot and cringe.

I sit momentarily transfixed by this dedicated PlayStation gamepad for its boardgame adaptation The Game of Life.

What mad hubris. What staggering excess.

Just think, if we abandon ethics and decency to embrace AI we could have a full season of 26 unwatchably mediocre episodes of Star Trek TNG featuring young Ashley Judd.

Eternity (2025) is a film about the afterlife filled with fascinating ideas it lacks the courage to have exist outside of throwaway gags and an aborted plot line that teases the idea of choosing female friendship over eternal subservience to martial bonds. 5/5 resigned sighs.

Make a Bond movie academic:

It has to be "Moon Ranker", right?

"Oh, Mr. Bond, I find your knowledge of the Jovian Region disappointingly rudimentary."

I truly can’t believe that I am seeing so much Russian propaganda falling from the mouths of the American right and left. Is there any hope for the US? Is there hope for any of us?

I know god is a woman because men claim to love her above everything else and yet most completely ignore everything she ever supposedly said or wanted.

The use of "today's Jews" is incredibly crass a week out from a multi location spree shooting targetting Jews with 12 victims, and multiple people arrested for planning other attacks, while violence against Jew has been increasing for ten years and the government now denies antisemitism even exists.

Why yes I did help myself to this unnecessarily swish silver gilded pocketbook of Pride and Prejudice.

The Algorithm may suspect that I am Jewish. I am being served ads for Asian restaurants with Christmas music.

I was 17 when I read beloved author Annie Ernaux's memoir L'Événement, in which she revealed she had a secret abortion as a teen when even oral contraceptive was illegal.

We can't even begin to calculate the societal loss in terms of female contribution to science and the arts.

In tears the moment I heard. Between this and becoming the first country to guarantee access to abortion care, finally France closes the book on a dark, shameful period of history.
French parliament unanimously exonerates women punished for abortion
French lawmakers have unanimously approved a landmark bill exonerating women who were punished for having abortions before the procedure was legalised in 1975 – a move hailed by feminist groups as a…

There is no ethical consumption of WWE. Stop chasing the fading echoes of your childhood.

The product is bad, sexist, and racist. Just walk away.
I’m in a spectacularly bad mood so this is hitting at the worst time but I have no clearer way to say it: fuck this company. Your choices are literally “occasionally do too much flippy shit” or “actively in bed with fascism”. I’m sorry if years of Fed propaganda have rotted your brains but cmon.

The US speaks with a white tongue.

Sommes-nous pour contester évidence ? C’est une langue universelle ! Nous sommes nés pour comprendre ses mots lacrymogènes, ses mots-matraques, et ses slogans tachés de ballistol et de pétrole.

Quelle admirable langue pour donner des ordres et ôter la vie.
Once again begging people to understand that there is no point in history when “white” was a neutral identity. It was always crafted and wielded to separate us from them, actual people from lesser creatures.

To zealously embrace a white identity is to fly the flag of that bigotry.

If Disney were actually woke, they would have made a The Lion Queen by now.

I was going to say a bunch of things, but this covers it.

But I’ll add linguistics and psychology to the list of fields which remain nowhere close to being an AI query away from obsolescence.
You absolutely will not convince a bunch of historians and sociologists and whoever else is in this thread that you know more than we do about this and we should use it. I wish you AI enthusiasts would stop wading into our conversations. You have nothing helpful to contribute and are snarky.

I just gave my copy of Separation of Church and Hate to a 14YO(!) girl who was in tears trying to ask a woman where I volunteer (sorry for vague language) if abortion is always a sin because she is terrified of being raped and her church is hardline anti-abortion. Utterly heartbreaking.
Seems I have to read this, “Separation of Church and Hate” by John Fugelsang

Some kindling for the fires of hope, perhaps.
