Better things are possible if you just believe in them and work for them and fight for them. (I am speaking in this case specifically about discounted breakfast burritos at the market in my neighborhood)

if you voted in Seattle you gotta make sure your ballot counted now
There are 1,700 ballots that need signature confirmation. That is enough to change the election.
Go. Check. Your. Ballot.

After generations of family adventures, Sawyer Lee is determined to sink in the couch! The problem is that it will take a regrettable amount of energy for him to escape the mysteries, conspiracies, and gourd-based festivities the whole town throws his way.

A little bird told me that there's a comic here for you to read!

Wondermark #1370; The Avian Informant (Part 1 of 2)
![A man in an apron, aptly named Apronni, addresses his coworker:
APRONNI: JULIORA! A little bird told me it was your birthday next Wednesday!
Juliora comes in to reply.
JULIORA: A little bird? Like, a BIRD bird? TALKED to you?
APRONNI: Yeah. Came to my window last night around eight.
Now we see a little pigeon perched on the sill of an open window. Apparently Apronni lives in a barn, or something like a barn? It’s not entirely clear.
BIRD: Pssst. Hey buddy. [Apronni enters.] She’s been looking at ski boots on Zappos. Do what you will with this information.
Back in the office now, flashback over.
JULIORA: Because I’VE seen a little bird too! It let me know when a Zumba class opened up in my area!
ENTREBERT (entering with his hands held a pigeon’s width apart): A little bird? About yea big? Knows a lot about when jeans go on sale? Yeah, I’ve seen ‘I’m!
APRONNI: I guess it must be the same little bird visiting everyone!
Cut back to the bird, still on the windowsill. Part of the flashback from earlier? It’s not entirely clear.
BIRD: I’m very tired](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:kihgsldesfdvdp7fi65m3m45/bafkreibsyythulynv4ub447jbqlnjqofsiykphmyxm7bf66duxcgjxopba@jpeg)

The 8yo is playing duel newscasters with a friend. Very serious reads of the news copy.
"Top story. Someone got murdered."
"Oh well! Topper story: someone went boom boom in their panties."
"More top story. Someone got killed. Or maybe KO'd."

Seattlites, check to make sure your vote was counted! Katie Wilson needs every vote.
1/ Seattle! 2000 ballots need signatures (updates or didn't sign)!! Tell your friends to check their ballot status here: info.kingcounty.gov/kcelections/... And if you have time between now & Nov. 14, volunteer to help cure votes: linktr.ee/Wilsonforsea... ("Ballot Chasing for Katie Wilson")

I don't think you have to hand it to him or anything, but I think Trump's hair looks better now. In 2016 it had a terrible, uncanny shape. Now it's just a wispy cloud hovering near his head. Big improvement imo

I mean, let's think about this. Yes, fundamentally, part of the joy of life is taking pleasure in things like absurd bassoon solos. No question. Eventually though we're all just Homer in hell eating all the donuts. We deserve our little bassoon solos, as a treat.
we're just here for the bassoon solos, man

It turns out that if you get reasonably good at Bolted! you can absolutely annihilate all previously known scoring records (53 points in one game, scored by me, the creator of the game, testing a solo mode against an automated player who did not play very well).

Wouldn't it be something if settlements from AI companies ended up becoming something like a functional UBI for artists and authors
OpenAI pirated large numbers of books and used them to train models.
OpenAI then deleted the dataset with the pirated books, and employees sent each other messages about doing so.
A lawsuit could now force the company to pay $150,000 per book, adding up to billions in damages.
