Sad to report that when a problem came along, we did not, in fact, whip it.

When this was true some boomer was complaining that classic rock n roll was 50s/early-60s. Do I have feelings about calling nu-metal “classic?” Yep, but time marches on. Trying to hang on and stop things in the past is where we start to get into trouble.
Classic Rock is rock music from the 60s/70s, not the 80s/90s.
Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

Funny seeing this as my birthday comes up. We would be there every year to celebrate the August birthdays. Love that the OG garden stayed open when PJ moved downtown.

I found out that JSTOR lets nonac plebes gain access, so now I can be au courant with 2021 scholarship.
I don’t see my old dissertation topic around, maybe there’s still hope for my phd.

That’s ok, someone will launch a different llm or some such to analyze the ai-generated briefs to catch these ghost cases, and profits will be made, as nature intended.
First time a judge has decided a case based on hallucinated case law in the US that I've encountered.

idk how to tell rural americans who vote for republicans that the republican plan for those americans is to just get sick and die. it just is. that’s it. die and stop costing the country money, that’s money they think rich people should have.
Senate Republicans are calling to cut Medicaid and CHIP by over $1 trillion, growing to an 18% cut by 2034.
This would be at least four times the size of the largest Medicaid cut in history.

Hanging from a tree,
Sloth child,
On the ground to pee
Sloth child,
Swaying by his arms,
Sloth child,
You’ve got me with your charms🎶
Kid and spouse should be more appreciative. Maybe after I get the verses.

This is a lovely thread about local bookstores. I’m overdue for a visit to Bookmark and Chamblins. I need to make a trip crosstown to Cafe Resistance soon, too.
being an indie bookseller in the helltimes has felt both very stable and very stabilizing, and part of me wishes everyone could be on my side of the counter for a little while, because I think it would help some of you be a little less cynical and doomy right now. so here is my VERY anecdotal data:
