@theoceanblooms Y'all came from Ulster Scots (potentially) as well during the waves of Irish and Scottish immigration to the US. Earliest known usage is something like 1820. Also possible it derived from Gullah and Creole according to other sources from the 90s. But this is cited several places
Keith David gets emotional and says he’s “living his dream” while accepting his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
“I started out as a singer, then I wanted to be a preacher, and I wanted to be a lawyer and a bank president. Then I discovered I could be an actor and be all those things.”

@itsjeanieologie@pollypocketmode Tbf, she was probably just racist. I feel like the person warning about the sprite + tea combo was just trying to save someone from assuming it would be like homemade sweet tea but isn't 😂
@offbeatorbit Took mine in Garden Grove and we definitely had to parallel park (this was like...1999/2000), took my cousin to get his same DMV in 2020 and I believe he also had to parallel. Gotta be a luck thing.
@theoceanblooms This is so funny because there is an obscene about of Americans who also pronounce it Pie Ella and also say tore-til-uh. Like, plenty of folks even in areas with high levels of Spanish speakers say Spanish loan words wrong.
@_ryansicat@theoceanblooms@TruckyMcTrckFce One day other Americans will stop embarrassing the rest of us by remembering not everyone lives in the US and using their reading comprehension to see Mary said "in a lot of places" and not everywhere.
@theoceanblooms Oh man, we could've had it all! It was a good show and I'm still mad about the cancellation and now I'm even more mad we didn't get to have Val back :/
That, and also being able to write a coherent sentence without AI is already becoming a lost art because people aren't willing to use their brain for longer than 3 seconds.
I love how the Pope's encyclical is so well-written that people sincerely believe it was written by AI, because the notion of being that well-educated and qualified for a leadership role is genuinely foreign to the general public.
People who weren’t sentient when this happened cannot possibly understand the longevity this one Jessica Simpson clip had. People talked about it for YEARS.
🚨 ALL EVACUATION ORDERS LIFTED 🚨
All evacuation orders related to the Garden Grove hazardous materials incident have been lifted.
Unified Command (Fire, Law, EPA, and County Health) have confirmed there is: >>>>
@NaderiEstefan@ABC7 They would absolutely have known, they were using drones and other methods to monitor. They couldn't see the gauge because of the water, and the crack isn't positioned to allow the liquid to leak. It would've been obvious, it floats on top of water it would be obvious.
Let me trace the timeline here because nobody's connecting it.
Step 1: Scrape the entire internet. Every book, every article, every conversation, every piece of art, every forum post. Do it without asking. Do it without paying.
Step 2: Train a model on all of it. Call it "artificial intelligence."
Step 3: Go to BlackRock's Infrastructure Summit and announce: "We see a future where intelligence is a utility, like electricity or water, and people buy it from us on a meter."
Step 3 is where you sell people's own knowledge back to them. On a meter.
They took the collective output of human thought, compressed it into a model, and now they want to charge you by the token to access a version of what you and everyone you know already created.
One Reddit user put it perfectly: "They stole all this data from us, the people, our life's work, creativity, art, by devouring the internet and blowing through all copyright laws. Now they want to sell it back to us in the form of a utility."
Imagine if someone photocopied every book in the public library, burned the library down, and then opened a subscription service for the copies.
That's the metered intelligence business model.
And they're pitching it to infrastructure investors as though they invented water.
