frankly romantasy is currently footing the bill for the rest of us by keeping a crumbling publishing industry afloat a while longer and you don't have to read the stuff to appreciate that it's bringing in readers who will eventually want to read more things, perhaps even in different points of view
For a long time I thought the jungle book was a much newer movie than it actually was because I saw a rerelease in a theatre in 1990. I didn't know what a movie trailer was, so when there was a DuckTales trailer thought we were in the wrong theatre.
Pentecostals do mark Pentecost Sunday - in my experience/memory it was more subtle then your Easters or Christmases. A picture on the church bulletin cover. The sermon mentioning it. The scripture verses and worship songs/hymns were thematic.
The NPR article cited in the answer does say almost the same thing, just without bringing in the ai targeting context.
I'm seeing this screenshot going around, and it is absolutely horrifying, but I also think it's someone who posted the AI output of a prompt? So I'm not sure I'd give it more credence then any ai-made answer "explaining" ai reasoning, especially when the prompt that created the answer isn't shown.
Brickmaker with a small farm on one side, mennonite pastor who owned a bookstore and motel at different times on the other. The pastor grandpa was silenced by his regional leadership for wanting communion to be more inclusive, so I'm pretty proud of him.
1. Yes
2. I need to see the bottom curve of the fork's handle. More important for me than the tines is if it's rounded or squared at the bottom, if it tapers and how much and how weighted it is.
God I love owls
I have some fun stories next time we see each other.
He got the reputation because of Rob. I spent a lot of time at city hall, usually at a sit-in protesting Rob - and there was something human, approachable, sometimes even likable about Rob. It feels like people shifted the idea of that onto Doug even though he doesn't have and never had it.
I've enjoyed enough of the stuff I've gotten into because of your posts (LaD, trails) that I think I can say you'd dig it. Hm... now that I'm thinking more on it, the tonal swings between the hilariously ridiculous and authentically moving of LaD games is shared with a lot of dropout stuff.
I'm well into the severe range and my machine brings incidents waaaaay down, but I haven't noticed anything that different in the mornings. My partner has a much easier time sleeping. And I know it's better for my overall health even if it isn't tangible for me.
the wilderness adventure flume at Ontario place was pretty close to this.
It's a good time to relisten to the Commons policing season.
Oh, this is very exciting.
there's a 2?!?!
and now that i can say this with mY full chest, ice and that entire administration.
Absolutely losing my mind over Ava, THE ROCK'S DAUGHTER, quitting WWE despite them offering her a raise to keep working a pretty cushy kayfabe general manager gig and then the day after her contract ends she posts this
A bird's-eye view of a former Auschwitz II-Birkenau camp showing a wide dirt pathway flanked by parallel rows of barbed-wire fences. Groups of visitors walk along the path, surrounded by the remnants of brick structures and barracks, now reduced to foundations. Green grass contrasts with the somber history of the site, as the path leads toward a guard tower in the distance.
Auschwitz was at the end of a process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers.
This hatred gradually developed: from ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.
Auschwitz took time.
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think the Auschwitz memorial said anything about Walz's comments - I thought it was the US Holocaust museum, and would recommend looking up how they've changed under Trump's administration before telling them to carry on or not.
Dr Kareem Carr man: i wish to publish @kareem_carr Jan 21 reviewer 2: your paper is no good man: i'll do anything to improve reviewer 2: it's simple. you must read the work of the great scientist Pagliarini man: *bursts into tears* but i am Pagliarini Andre Pagliarini @apagliar Jan 21 a first: in rejecting an article I submitted to a journal, reviewer 2 noted I failed to engage the work of one Andre Pagliarini Jan 21, 2026 • 3:47 PM UTC
I just thought everyone should see this
If you came to me and asked me to teach you American history and how to engage with it while standing on one leg, I guess I would say this: "Powerful Americans have plundered, oppressed and terrorized. At every step, other Americans fought them. You can, too. The rest is commentary: go and do."
PSA reading “Hey there neighbor! We all want to feel safe, but your Ring camera is sharing everything with ICE, including every person that walks by.” Cartoon smiley faces saying “Ack!”, “Oh no!”, “That’s terrible!” A cartoon shouting “What to do?!” Text: “Turn it off! Or, cover the camera and use audio only.” A drawing showing “You” cutting the stream of information from Ring to Amazon to ICE. Text: “We keep each other safe” surrounded by drawings of hearts.
Good morning, friends! Are you ready for the return of the Disney brackets?
Today, we begin a new 64-seed bracket to decide the best Walt Disney Animation Studios feature. And you’ll be voting via poll.blue!
The full bracket is here, but we’re just doing one vote today. challonge.com/tfohhca1
To stretch the metaphor, once Kirby has eaten the frame, he has two options: swallow it and become what he's fighting (accept the frame) or spit it out as ammunition (reject the frame)
Wolf Parade still puts on a really good show! I saw them last year and had a great time.
what if you called it mouthhead instead?
signed! reminder to canadians that official petitions through the commons website actually do have an impact
as well as the importance of confession from beginning to end of the story.
From my perspective as a non-Catholic Mennonite who vaguely knows his sacraments: the father/monsignor destinction, as well as a church body sending someone to a specific parish without the congregations input felt Catholic (though that goes against the family dynasty aspect)
