Grammarly's new "‘Expert Review’ AI agents make suggestions supposedly inspired by subject matter experts, including several staff members here at The Verge... none of whom gave Grammarly permission to include them..."
nothing expresses the infuriating indignity of childhood quite like this scene
still thinking about this. can't figure it out. duckduckgo was no help. deciding whether i care to ask reddit.
why is ham funny
many sausages are also funny for obvious reasons, but for my money, ham rules the roost
I helped edit this super cool story of a dude from India who wrote his name on Egyptian tombs 2,000 years ago! 🏺🧪
why though. why is ham funnier than other foods. i have been wondering this for many, many years
Here is a man with more simple moral integrity & courage that the vast bulk of Dem electeds & pundits.
I lack the words to capture it, but ... it's just endlessly remarkable to me that so many people in our society have chosen trans kis -- TRANS KIDS, the smallest, least significant, most vulnerable demographic slice you could possibly pick -- as a repository for all their fears & insecurities.
“Never again” is meaningless if it doesn’t include this. There’s no reason to mince words other than cowardice: these are concentration camps and never again is now.
Politicians crying that they're just "protecting the children" while doing the exact opposite is nothing new, but if this becomes law it could effectively end the careers of some of you favorite queer creators (including mine!)

A while back we were joking here about how a little over a year ago, some economist must've looked at a monkey's paw and said "I wish regular people appreciated textbook economics more."
Like he could've just come out of the White House every morning like a cuckoo clock, said something outrageous to make his base happy, then went to golf. And people would call him an economic genius because he grew gdp and tamed inflation. But here we are.

The James Is Running Around song goes:
James is running around!
James is running around!
He's running and he's running and he's running and he's running!
James is running around!
It has exactly the tune you think it has. You clap on the one and three. It absolves you of having to run with him.
My manager said it was good for writing songs with her six-year-old. Idk, man, my nephew's favorite song is the James Is Running Around song, plus some classics like Down By the Bay and Apples and Bananas. It's about having fun together, not the song, itself!
Yellow bird with black face and red eye, all puffed out and slightly damp.
Let me start a belated thread of Aotearoa New Zealand silvan birds.
To lead things off, a New Zealand Bellbird photographed on Kapiti Island.
If you're doomscrolling, guess what? So far there are 51 kākāpō chicks hatched and thriving this season, the same number of birds as we had in TOTAL in the 90s! Only one chick has died and there are still fertile eggs waiting to hatch!

a black and white edit that reads "the future includes trans people". around the text is a floral pattern. the image is grainy
the future is for trans people
Interesting interview in Playboy with transgender adult content creators. People often point to Pornhub stats showing trans content is more popular than ever as a contradiction, as if political and sexual objectification were ever mutually exclusive
Optical illusion of a woman bent over some papers. Her sunglasses are pushed up and she is wearing a hair band so the top of her head looks exactly like a Muppet face
Sorry I know the world is in a terrible fix but I've been laughing at this for ten minutes now
a public utility does not need to turn a profit. this is intentional.
