Lives outside Philly, but from Bethlehem. You know - Bethlehem. In Pennsylvania.

...What, you thought I meant the other Bethlehem? Who cares about that one?

Yes, it's very unfair. Good thing we have GLP-1s now! Tirzepatide fixed me right up.

@FLManBabyWoo @underdog1030 @cremieuxrecueil @justalexoki Being short, sedentary, and female will do that to you, unfortunately.

The difference between a healthy weight and the start of morbid obesity is a muffin + latte from Starbucks every day.

[Crémieux @cremieuxrecueil]

"Root cause" discourse is silly; it's also wrong.

The root cause of obesity is eating too much.

The total amount of 'eating too much' needed to explain the obesity epidemic is one McDonald's Cheeseburger a day.

No poisons or toxins or diseases, society just got richer.

Remember back when the Matrix came out and we all laughed at the idea that “coding” looked like watching a bunch of glyphs pour across your screen

Just had our first Waffle House experience at 1am. Great food, great prices, and friendly staff. 10/10, we will be coming back.😋

@AdsoOfBelk Ikr? I'm 30. My high school classmates were using snapchat in 2012. Wtf are these zoomers on about

The SAVE Act is not a voter ID bill. It's a "DHS can revoke your right to vote by claiming you're not a citizen the day before an election" bill.

"Oops, our database must be out of date. Re-register with your municipality. Oh, there's no time before the election? Tough luck."

[Jessica Riedl 🧀 🇺🇦 @JessicaBRiedl]

@EdWhelanEPPC The SAVE Act is NOT a voter ID bill. Its not demanding a drivers license to prove your identity.

Its a citizenship confirmation bill that requires birth certificates and (for some) marriage certificates & passports. There are very good arguments against imposing that burden

Having access to Claude Mythos is going to help my blogging career so much. A lot of important data center stats are scattered in the documents of random local governments they haven't shared. I can simply get through all their security and access the docs directly now.

Here's good evidence that wokeness comes from law.

Before the 1978 Bakke decision, newspapers and court decisions basically never mentioned the benefits of diversity in higher education.

After Bakke, it was everywhere.

The concept was invented to justify a court decision.

[Ben Podgursky @bpodgursky]

now that i can't eat beef i've decided to pivot into preachy environmentalism

for example, did you know that the water used to make 1 cheeseburger could power ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND Opus 4.8-Max prompts?

wasting that water on meat is completely unjustifiable

Some parents do regret having children. This happens a lot more when those kids are disabled. Check out the subreddit r/regretfulparents. Not everybody whose lives have been hijacked by around the clock care are posting on twitter that they're living a happy life

The US hard left want to point to a 19 year old Azov soldier with a neo-Nazi patch on his uniform and condemn an entire country to destruction in response, then look at a 41 year old ex-Blackwater mercenary with a Totenkopf tattooed on his chest and elect him into high office.

Low key, I planted a juniper in my front yard because I love how the word "juniper" sounds

[Jack @tracewoodgrains]

I personally like the word "Codex" quite a bit, but this got me thinking: what's the best word? Not for OpenAI. Just, y'know, in general.

Here are some initial candidates compiled when I was younger, to start things off.

“But Cors, a codex is also a word for a religious or legal manuscript, connoting the possession and transmission of esoter—”

CODEX IS “CODE” WITH AN X AT THE END. THAT’S HOW IT READS TO LAYPEOPLE. HOW ARE YOU PEOPLE THIS BAD AT NAMING THINGS????

The extremely boring answer is that MAiD in Canada is protected by a Supreme Court ruling, while the "right to try" experimental treatments is not.

I wrote a whole post on it!

Describing how your poor child is constantly suffering, has never been and will never be able to be independent and is a huge mental, physical and financial load on you and your family is absolutely not the argument AGAINST abortion you think it is
