why do JKR haters make it a point to call her "Joanne" in her posts? They're the only ones who do it, is Joanne an insult or something? What am I missing? It's very weird. Like they hate her guts but also want to be on a first name basis with her.

“lesbian yearner” would be an English phrase. I believe it’s in your name.

Remember when you could open up an app and it was largely unchanged from the day before, and you knew where everything was? It would stay that way for weeks or months until there’s like the random update and even then they only did a real UI overhaul every now and then? And then AI came along and now things are added or removed or hidden from view every day? Will the software people and the app designers ever care again about consistency or user familiarity? just when you think you’ll be an old person who understands technology bc you grew up with it. Well, the writing is on the wall people!

this is actually pretty easy. blackface is like putting on someone's skin. last i checked women aren't made of makeup. unless they're trying to access things for women, who cares?

Having been offline for about 12 hours I am no longer qualified to tweet about anything. I need a crash course on (insert story here) because all the facts have probably changed. (Evergreen)

I would LOVE to know how LGB is being impacted when they have nothing to do with gender identity.

I think it's more likely over time that a slight majority of people will decide that AI has consciousness than not. This will obviouly lead to bitter fighting over rights for AI. But can you imagine warring for decades, splintering our society apart and then we finally figure out what consciousness is and how to test for it and we find out AI was never conscious the entire time. How much of a anticlimactic twist would that be? How silly would we feel? Of course even with a test, at that point too many people would be too attached to their "conscious" AI that they wouldn't believe the test. ultimately though, humans will have to just decide that AI is conscious or not. we won't be "discovering" that they are. it will have to be a decision. well, unless we get that test.

Sydney Sweeney could do the funniest thing

What the hell is this??

PSA: Never use tap water with a neti pot because you could get a brain-eating amoeba. Distilled or sterile water only if you simply MUST pour water into your nasal passages. I think about this from time to time and thought I'd pass it along just in case! I may save someone's life. I'll never know.

surely someone out there is studying how the presentation of munchausen-by-proxy has changed or evolved over time.

oh look, more fodder for the crazies.

Hinsight is 20/20 but I'm thinking the Lindsay Clancy trial never should have been televised. In the age of social media and demented fandoms for killers, maybe we should be more cautious about who we thrust into the public eye and apparently, people's black hearts. I don't know any of the laws or rules about televising trials I'm just saying....

I mean......

I’m not really seeing people castigating lone juror for strangling someone am I? This is truly one for the ages.

If you have to "sit with something" for a second that means a narrative in your head just exploded. It's the perfect time to learn and grow.

I want to see this chart but for women.
