What do you say chat, can we rely on the AI to give us reputable numbers?

Trying to construct a mental model we can relate to (☕️🔌⚡️) vs “asking grok ‘x’ burns 5 trees” which just feels intentionally disassociating.

Oh my look what we have here! #Goodreads surprising the family by waking up from its slumber by the fireplace to remind everyone it still exists; and — dare I say it? — actually looks pretty cool now? #newLogo

We could solve world hunger if we weren’t so busy building ai data farms. But hey at least I can bring this unholy portmanteau to life after it comes up in a Bluesky thread…so there’s that.

From corgis to demigorgons is a pretty wide margin for a collectible.

Got some deep time on the bench with a few of these. Looking at you, Rad Racer.

I want a #bikeshare option that is not as much as taking a Lyft.

Pour out a glass of champagne, and then eat the glass, only to reveal that it was sugar all along — but how did he pour in the bubbly in the beginning? — for the man whose rambling, “incoherent” narratives inspired 100’s of kids like myself to go off in search of something bigger…

A friend blew through town on a soul-searching cross-country road-trip, getting me out to the capitol in the process. The DFL in the House were still sitting out in protest of GOP malfeasance, while some interns were in the main rotunda getting their pictures taken. Another day under siege.

It’s not even a practical choice, it’s an ideological one. No one in interstate commerce needs that piece of I-94, but if MnDot concedes to the removal of a single highway, that validates the claim that the status quo needs to change.
