“He gotta know how to dress”

No he don’t…

You looking for someone that spends their free time fantasizing about chivalry and saving the day

That’s the one that’s gonna pay off a mortgage

THREAD: I got laid off from NYMag/Vulture after 14 years. The family lost 75% of income + medical. Now mzs.press bookstore, once a side project. is do-or-die for Judith & I. I feel weird telling you this because others are doing much worse. But if you could like or share this, we'd be so grateful!

i had a great conversation with this reporter and overall feel this is a really balanced piece exploring what might be going on with this shift to "first person or bust" that has taken over romance.

In a restaurant where It’s loud and the server called out a customer’s name. I almost repeated it for everyone and then remembered that Progressive commercial 🤣

I firmly believe that the loss of people like Anthony Bourdain and Steve Irwin, who promoted wonder and awe at the diversity of our world at all levels, is one of the biggest contributing factors to the negative trends we’ve seen in mainstream culture since the 2010s onward.

I'm fascinated by the common failure of strategic mirroring where folks assume that because the USA built a global alliance of democracies after WW, that the autocracies must also function in a vast alliance with unified leadership.

Because they don't! They didn't in WWII either!

Thing that really gets my goat is the way people are eager to fund this bullshit but you need eleven layers of analysis and a ton of collateral if you want to open a small grocery store in a food desert.

ICE attracts the worst of the worst. There is no reform sweeping enough to fix it. There is only abolition and prosecution.

Amazing how the ball knowers on here were like “they’re going to run out of military targets in a week” and they immediately start hitting economic/civilians infrastructure on day 8

Evidence Grows That Google's AI Overviews Have Eviscerated the Media Industry Google's AI overviews have eviscerated the media landscape, with some top publications losing up to 97 percent of their web traffic.

Welp. The internet had a nice run.

Some outlets have lost over 90% of their traffic since the "AI" summaries rolled out.

"...the four worst-hit publications [now] get less monthly web traffic combined than the r/ChatGPT subreddit gets on its own."

He's lost my primary vote as well, but I'm Very Online, have a graduate degree, and am pretty politically engaged.

My elders are high propensity voters. They were shaped by Jim Crow and the CRM. Candidates who aren't Black & show up with comfort at Black events and Black churches are HUGE for them.

there's so much bad in the world but there's also people who lift up and carry an elderly bat around every day so he can pretend he's flying again, and that's the part of the world I think is worth fighting for

we receive: all expertise you've built over decades repurposed without compensation by unethical and amoral authoritarian coddlers who will also hijack any remaining inbound ad traffic

you receive: lectures about how you're not appreciating innovation and we "can't talk about AI with the left"

Person: “Omg people don’t understand that us neurodivergent people need them to tell us why so we can function omg neurotypical are so lame.”

Do you have a relationship that justifies them answering your question? Because all communication happens within the boundaries of relationship

This weird rant feels like something that has a lot more to do with him and the women in his family and what's going on between them than anything to do with ballet
