Error messages getting sooo relatable. Like a friend who's so exhausted. Almost more fun than the thing actually working!

You're right to call that out. You're quietly pointing to a real phenomenon -- and that's the contradiction.

[Mike Pesca @pescami]

I think if you did a search of podcast description language, or other write-ups which are routinely outsourced to AI, you would see a giant uptick "quietly" and "real".

@EmilyDreyfuss It's quietly everywhere

Ordinary Abundance. This is the greatest thing I've read in weeks. No kidding. This should win a Pulitzer in a category not yet invented. https://t.co/iqnoACNt6z

Jordan created it.

[Jordan Dworkin @jddwor]

In 1843, Elizabeth Barrett Browning wrote to a friend after seeing her first daguerreotype: “The very shadow of the person lying there fixed for ever! … I would rather have such a memorial of one I dearly loved, than the noblest artist’s work ever produced.”

Our lives and homes are filled with things that once inspired similar awe. I tried to collect those feelings, in quotes like the one above, from people for whom what is now ordinary was brand new. A friar who met the inventor of eyeglasses, a founding father on the new smallpox vaccine, a woman in Iowa on her family’s first indoor bathroom. To look at a modern apartment through their eyes: https://t.co/3Nsti34aS2

I had a great time on The Gist with Mike Pesca talking about The Madness Pill, LSD and speed's role in shaping biological psychiatry, and my dad's schizophrenia. This clip: the ethics of giving volunteers drugs to induce psychosis. Link below to full interview @pescami

"Left unaddressed in the episode was where all this extreme weather is coming from, and why it’s increasing. There was no mention of climate change, let alone the fossil fuel emissions" - there was however a brief mention of Elmo Niño. https://t.co/KLDsSbcdoH

Evil climate hoaxers have no science so they hope to brainwash and ideologically abuse pre-schoolers with scary weather on Sesame Street:

"On Monday, a fierce storm tore through the set of the 57-year-old children’s show, knocking over lampposts, blowing out windows and scattering debris around Oscar the Grouch’s trash can...

"Left unaddressed in the episode was where all this extreme weather is coming from, and why it’s increasing....

"“What do we do now? Can I, as a 3, 4, 5-year old, be part of the rebuilding process?” VP for Sesame Workshops Rocio Galaraza said. “Children do have those questions.”" https://t.co/Uq17kmJplp

Just evil people.
