If I were a linguist I would do my thesis on the ongoing evolution of the word another. I assume it came from “an other” and just merged through the years. Assuming that’s true, it’s weird how many people say “a whole nother” like nother is becoming its own word when really it was an article shift?

In one of those weird spaces where I’m thinking about launching my own startup and what tech stack I’d use. I thought it’d be kinda weirdly rebellious to go with Java for something where it’d totally make sense but wouldn’t fit the stereotype. Thought cannabis tech was a good almost obvious fit here

The thing about Mamdani is that he’s a talented politician but not otherworldly or one in a billion, he’s just a competent guy with popular ideas who ran against an entitled piece of shit and to me it’s a lot more optimistic to imagine 1000 campaigns like his than to view him as a unique phenomenon

I want to taste some Hershey’s chocolate from like the 1950s to see if Hershey Bars always tasted *this* bad, or if it’s gradually gotten as shitty as it can get away with over decades. It’s never been, like, legit European chocolate. But always this awful?

the beginning of Moving Out by Kacey Musgraves sounds a lot like the beginning of Pink Floyd’s Breathe.

Do you know what's NOT going to make an awful job market better? A fuckton of freelancers suddenly looking for employment with affordable health insurance benefits.
The ACA made my whole self-employed life possible. For almost ten years, I was able to build a career that actually worked for me AND keep receiving necessary care to address the consequences of childhood medical neglect. And I still deserved better. We all do.

This will not go over well in Maine. New Englanders do not like this.
"Store employees are now required to smile if they are within 10 feet of a shopper.
They also must make eye contact with and wave to or greet the customer.
If they’re within four feet, the employee should ask how the customer’s day is going or if they need help."
🙄 Won't stop the boycott, y'all.

Target is now requiring its employees to smile more
As the holiday season fast approaches, Target is urging its employees to add a little more “jolly” to their work routine.

why hasn’t the pilots union called a nationwide strike in solidarity with their (admittedly nonunion) air traffic controllers and TSA officers? Show the world what a fucking union is capable of.

We just decided to connect all our minds to each other in realtime on this internet thing and didn’t give much forethought to what that’d ultimately mean. Our brains weren’t wired for this level of interconnectivity over this wide of an audience.

Something about being a techie in San Francisco makes you feel a tiny bit like a rockstar. All the billboards, all the ads, all the buildings, are all shit you work on and with all day.
