Medical offices these days expect patients to do an unreasonable amount of bookkeeping online before you show up to the appointment.
I just entered my own phone number about 55 times in a dozen forms so my son can go to the dentist tomorrow.
Sometimes I just give up and tell them to deal with it.

Whoa did any of my fellow Looking Glass homies catch this cameo in Black Mirror s7 ?!?!?
I actually still own this exact issue of this magazine!

It's totally doesn't at all feel super creepy and exploitative that every image on the Stable Diffusion page is a sexy young woman. No notes. This is totally how I would want my totally legit and good-for-society product represented.

Sometimes you really bring your best self and use an infinity symbol, other times you're too busy and important so you just turn an 8 on its side.

Ok now I'd like to see the original version of the White Lotus season 3 finale, the one before the horrible last minute rewrite, the one that follows through on foreshadowing, makes logical sense, is thematically consistent, and fulfills the promise of the season's confident and glorious story arc.

I am fully in support of requiring businesses to offer their collaborators fair terms and good compensation, but even so wow does California make it hard and painful for small indie studios to work with talent in California.

How embarrassing to watch the US behave like the worst, most pathetic schoolyard bully you ever knew and the MAGAsphere suck down obvious Orwellian lies and agree to side with an evil dictator who has been drooling to slit our throats for decades.
