@Schaffrillas It’s amazing. Truly. I have never laughed so hard.

.@kaitlancollins I genuinely don’t know how you do it. The composure, discipline, and persistence it takes to keep asking questions while being berated, told to smile, and subjected to constant attacks is remarkable. Truly in awe.

I keep getting etymology and entomology confused.

Words cannot describe how much this bugs me.

In news that will get very little coverage, Mariska Hargitay's "End the Backlog Campaign" achieves rape kit reform in ALL 50 states, DC, and Puerto Rico.

It's women who are going to save us. Thank you Mariska Hargitay.

Search is full of ads and wrong answers. Every other email is an ad. Prime Video charges you and shows ads. Paramount? Ads. Peacock? YouTube? Hulu? Ads followed by more ads. Netflix full of ads. Meta and X, every other thing is an ad. Pinterest is nothing but ads. AI is in everything. AI finishes sentences incorrectly and won’t stop.

Oh sorry, your phone can’t handle this update. Now it’s useless. Go get the newest phone. Here’s a text from a friend, an email, a voice mail they left three days ago but you didn’t see until now because of sync problems with the cloud. It’s their GoFundMe. Their MLM. Their Patreon. Never mind, you didn’t respond to their text within 9 minutes and now you’re no longer friends. They blocked you. Make new friends. Download this app to find people in your area.

Why don’t you like AI, it lets us make all of this easier? Do you know how ridiculous that sounds? This is progress. You’ll be left behind. Do you want to be left behind? Do you???

"Eat at a local restaurant tonight. Get the cream sauce. Have a cold pint at 4 o’clock in a mostly empty bar. Go somewhere you’ve never been. Listen to someone you think may have nothing in common with you. Order the steak rare. Eat an oyster. Have a negroni. Have two. Be open to a world where you may not understand or agree with the person next to you, but have a drink with them anyways. Eat slowly. Tip your server. Check in on your friends. Check in on yourself. Enjoy the ride."

In a rare moment, California Gov. @GavinNewsom @CAgovernor got emotional — tearing up — while announcing a major expansion of the California Service Corps.

During his remarks in Sacramento alongside California Service Corps members, Newsom unveiled a push to recruit and add 10,000 paid positions focused on disaster response, education, climate action, and community projects.

At one point, he paused, visibly in tears:
“Weird… forgive me… This [program] is it. You want to fix all this stuff? This [program] is it," he said.

Newsom called the program a path forward for a divided society:

“We’re all just sitting there yelling and screaming at each other… trying to tear each other down. How are we going to get out of this? This is it… it’s so obvious what we need to do.”

The effort also includes a new “Men’s Service Challenge.”

CA Chief Service Officer @JoshFryday: "Here's the message from the State of California...we need you. To every young person out there, you matter...we need you to serve today."

Rev. Jesse Jackson’s ‘Green Eggs and Ham’ sermon. Best delivery ever! Oddly, Dr. Seuss is the actual name of my doctor.
