It is difficult
to get the news from poems
yet men die miserably every day
for lack
of what is found there.

If you are providing me with an education that is low utility in the world then it’s a disservice. My composition class spent four weeks on poetry. I’m sorry, but that only would’ve been useful if I wanted to be a poet. I don’t need to know iambic pentameter in order to be a victim advocate.

This is the exact lighting they use for the pic to accompany a profile of a professor who got suspended because he kept using slurs in class as a supposed intellectual provocation.
I guess this has probably already gone viral somewhere but I am simply dying at this picture of a bear that looks like it hired a photographer to do a glamour shoot

Listening to public radio in the car, I notice a big grin on my kid's face.
"It's Culver City, not Culver's City. It's in California."
"Oh."
"They may not even have a Culver's there."
"Yeah."
We agreed to get custard later to offset his disappointment.

Why wait until the polls close to start that most beautiful pageantry of Democratic politics, the ritualistic Blaming of the Left
Y’all talked too much about the TN-7 race, turned it high salience, juiced turnout, and wrecked Dems’ chances of sneaking in a win.

There's a sweet elderly couple that lives on my block. Their entire front yard and boulevard is pollinator garden.
Today, I noticed a handmade sign in their window that said, "The only orange monarch we want:" and a picture of a monarch butterfly.

You gently run your hand through the rack. You can feel it—pure cotton, rich wool, Irish linen. The plump buttonholes are handsewn; the buttons attached with a firm shank. You flip the price tag over. It's affordable
You buy the jacket and go home, which is only 15 mins away. Your apt is $600/month

Looking at wedding photographers and not sure if “Jesus Lover” is MAGA coded or not? I think yes?

The ADHD urge to buy a thing, watch all the videos about the thing, religiously track shipping until the thing arrives, excitedly open the shipping box to get to the thing, and then place the thing somewhere random and forget about it for 3-60 months.

I just learned who Charlie Kirk is. Here's why I think his murder was much different than the murder of Melissa Hortman, the attack on Paul Pelosi, or the pipe bomb that was sent to the synagogue in Pittsburgh....(1/14)

AI is the perfect victim--there is no messy human complications. AI can't be homeless, have pre-existing conditions, or sometimes traumatized assholes.
Some people are more interested in the hypothetical suffering of the computer than the actual suffering of human beings
Can AIs suffer? Big tech and users grapple with one of most unsettling questions of our times

Pointing out how safe DC by showing the low crime rates isn’t going to convince conservatives because “people breaking the actual law” isn’t what they mean by “crime”. To them, “crime” includes merely seeing black people, unhoused people, and anyone else the bigots clutch pearls about as “crime”
