as a single childless woman, you can show up for countless bridal showers, weddings, baby showers, kid's birthday parties, anniversary dinners etc. but if you want even a modicum of reciprocation suddenly it's mortifying and beyond the pale. lol ok.
My friend wants to plan a couples, no-kids weekend getaway, splitting the cost of a large AirBNB, in January for her 30th birthday. I really do not love this idea (husband is mortified), neither to spend the money nor to get someone to take the toddler for 3 days. It would be a 2.5 hour drive away for us, too, so it’s not like we’re close if something happens. I haven’t been away from him for even 1 night yet and he still just seems so young! It would be very hard to leave him for that long.
Am I just a party pooper who needs to get over it? Genuine question. Like I actually need advice here guys

throwback to the time I took hours out of my day to decipher the rural juror finale song and make this karaoke-style lyric video and then never posted it bc it was strictly for my own personal enjoyment (until now bc I'm philanthropic like that)

Inside of 15 years the Roman Catholic Church changed its reputation from “backwards cabal of evil pedophilic rapists” to “the only major international social force taking a firm, humanist leadership role on the issues of the day”

Say what you want about the merits of Catholicism, but they definitely racked up a point on “maybe divine guidance is real” by selecting an American pope who studied mathematics just in time for the dawn of AI
In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgent to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity.

Isn't this exactly how "The Three-Body Problem" book/series begins??
China’s FAST telescope has found a narrowband radio signal coming from the direction of the red dwarf K2 155 that has a potentially habitable super-Earth exoplanet (K2 155 d). Actual source remains unknown. 🤷♂️

40 years ago? Sheesh... love this show!
Julia Sugarbaker read people for filth on this show... this one and the one when she was running for office are my favs.... *chef's kiss*
The CBS sitcom "Designing Women" debuted on this date in 1986. The series ran for seven seasons and 163 episodes.
BITE-SIZED FACT | The show was set at Sugarbaker & Associates, an interior design firm in Atlanta, and featured Dixie Carter, Delta Burke, Annie Potts and Jean Smart. #80s

It’s tbh kind of a disaster psychologically that most people pay property taxes as part of a mortgage payment. Creates an association between two things that aren’t really connected. You’d never say “my home’s paid off, why do I still have to pay my water bill?”

URGENTE: Cientistas de Harvard detectam sinais de rádio diretamente de um planeta fora do nosso sistema solar pela primeira vez, localizado a 64 anos-luz da Terra.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Não se trata de um possível contato extraterrestre. Os sinais não tem relação com uma civilização tentando se comunicar, mas sim com auroras, o mesmo fenômeno que ilumina os céus polares da Terra e que também gera as rajadas de rádio de Júpiter.

Carlie Irsay-Gordon needs to stop being a FAKE NFL OWNER (on the sideline, engaged, taking notes on her team) and start being a REAL NFL OWNER (soliciting prostitutes in rural Ohio)
IS IT BECAUSE SHE'S A WOMAN?
During last night's sunday night football game, NBC showed video of Colts owner Carlie Isray-Gordon and talked about how she sometimes likes to stand on the sidelines with the team during the game. One of the announcers said she needs to be careful that she's not labeled a meddling owner.
So are they offended the owners on the sidelines.... or that a woman owner is on the sidelines?

What happened to college sports is that the pretense has been stripped away and we are forced to see it as it always was, without that false "student athlete" veneer that allowed us to see as charming.
Saban's players were paid, he knew it and participated in it.
Pat McAfee nailed it: College sports are in “absolute chaos,” there are no rules anyone can reliably follow, and Congress is now “our only option.”
Coach Saban put the absurdity plainly: “Would we ever think that an NFL player could come back and play in college? It’s absolutely crazy.”
College sports cannot survive as a courtroom free-for-all.
It is time to pass the Protect College Sports Act, send it to President Trump’s desk, and sign it on College GameDay this fall.
