Because it’s superficially nice. The grass is too even and short. The trees in the background don’t look like a temperate species. Once you spot the phoniness it looses its sincerity.

Looks like AI slop. But I enjoyed the mud puddle in the foreground AI slop is getting less sloppy — unfortunately.

They’ll blithely claim it was a work-study program.

It’s fun watching the Rethuglicans over on X loose their shit over Mamdani’s win. And snowflakes are melting over CA’s Prop 50 passing. It wasn’t even close!

Heck, people are blocking each other for polite disagreements—which seems to be muting legitimate discourse. For all its faults X seems to allow for more diversity of opinion—but you need to have a thick skin to deal with all the assholes.

Thanks for posting! Personal anecdata: when I lived in Hong Kong, I couldn't go 3 months w/o catching a URTI. When I returned to the US and set up housekeeping with my GF and her 3yo son—she caught all his daycare colds—but I seemed to be immune. It lasted a couple of years until kindergarten.

Funny, but I always imagined Maureen Dowd as a Furry in a wombat costume.

Furries are people who like to socialize while cosplaying in animal costumes. A subset of them like to have sex while dressed up as animals. Their fur adds to their erotic pleasure. Aren’t you glad you asked?

Ironically, an episode of the 1950s TV series Trackdown satirized Fred Trump as a con man, named Walter Trump who preached the end of the world, and would save them if they built a wall. ChatGPT sez it's not Fred, but a producer said Fred screwed him as a landlord.

It seems like they drove their armored vehicle into a swamp and (possibly) drowned. But Trump doesn't seem to give a flying f**k about their lives. Says he doesn't know about it. What an idiot.

Note: I'm still stuck with using X for my pathogen updates, because (a) there's nothing analogous to threadreaderapp that I can get to work on bsky, and (b) bsky wastes a lot of my time making me annotate my graphics.

This isn't showing up in the macro data. Self-reported cannabis has doubled over the past 15 years since it's been (mostly) legalized. If this study is valid, shouldn't we be seeing a proportional increase in deaths from myocardial infarctions in the ≤50 age cohorts?

And it makes me wonder if the OP wasn't a Marxist at some point. Only the 4th International types would be aware of Browder.
