LOL I knew he was coming to Georgia but I didn’t realize he was speaking *at Wheeler*. I had friends from church who went there! Solo & Ensemble Festival was there one year! He should not be allowed to use public schools for political rallies imo!

It shouldn’t be legal to make this woman up to look *exactly* like her mom. For a second, I thought I’d tumbled through a time portal or something. Then I realized no, it’s just that society is already on its 2nd generation of Cindys Crawford bc I’m an old hag now. THANKS A LOT, NARS!

This shelf at ULTA made me do a double-take. It’s not my place to criticize anyone who feels they need on-the-go vulvar hydration, but I think they should at least consult their doctors about that.

An ULTA shelf with 2 pink boxes. One is square and reads “VULVA BALM”, the other is rectangular and says “LIPS STICK” with smaller print that reads “on-the-go vulvar hydration”. They are $29.99 and $19.99, respectively.

Glad ABC and NBC didn’t show it, but this last paragraph… oof. I gather the thinking was that Biden’s 2022 speech was “campaigning” - and it probably was! - but the choices were literally democracy vs fascism and they went, “Oh well we wouldn’t want anyone to think we’re taking sides!”

NBC and ABC will not turn over their airwaves to Trump for 2020 election speech - report
Two of the major broadcast television networks, NBC and ABC, have decided not to air Donald Trump's primetime address live on Thursday, relegating the president's remarks, likely to present false claims about the 2020 election he lost, to their streaming platforms, CNN chief media analyst Brian Stelter reports.
In statements to Stelter, NBC said it would stream Trump's remarks on NBC News
NOW, and follow the address with a special report unpacking the claims on television;
ABC likewise stream the speech on ABC
News Live, and could run a special report on television "should significant developments occur".
Those two networks, and CBS, previously declined to pre-empt their regular broadcast to air what they considered a political speech by then-president Joe Biden, on threats to democracy, in 2022.

I’m not gonna pretend to be a war crimes expert, but if this isn’t against int’l law, it should be. And as one of the many many many Americans who live in the vicinity of a nuclear plant: CAN WE NOT SET A PRECEDENT FOR ATTACKING NUCLEAR PLANTS, OR EVEN THE AREAS AROUND THEM?

07.10 EDT
Iranian media reports US attack near nuclear power plant in
Bushehr
We have some updates on the earlier reported explosions in the Bushehr province in southern Iran.
The semi-official Mehr news agency in Iran reported attacks in several locations
"including military and civilian areas" added that attacks were reported near the nuclear power plant in Busher city and at a fishing port in the city of Asaluyeh.
Ehsan Jahanian, a local official in Bushehr, was quoted as saying there were no reports of casualties.
Mehr reported:
A Jahanian stressed that further information regarding the extent of these attacks and the scale of any potential damage will be released through official channels, following a compilation of reports from the relevant authorities."
There has been no immediate comment from the US.

Part 2,582 in my series “My cats do NOT ‘take care of me when I’m sick’”: I had chills so I grabbed a blanket. Got up for a second and boycat burrowed fully into it. Now I can hear the A/C running but it’s really hot in here… bc he’s migrated the blanket to completely cover the A/C vent.

Pile of cream-colored slanket with a cat-shaped lump in it, centered perfectly b/t the wall, a desk drawer, and some chair legs. HIDDEN UNDERNEATH: the only source of cool air in the room.

Enjoy creamy nut, everybody xoxo

Weird product photo for a “nut milk bag” on Amazon. Disembodied hands are squeezing white liquid (presumably nut milk) from a bag into a bowl. Nuts and cups of juices sit on either side. The text reads “ENJOY CREAMY NUT milks & fresh juices every time”

When you’ve got all your journalling stuff out and you’re ready to get started

A desk facing a window, through which trees are visible. On the desk there’s a lamp, a Ghirardelli tin (full of pens), a pencil bag that says San Francisco, various notebooks, and on the right, a clear mug with coffee in it. In the middle of all of this, a GIANT WHITE AND TABBY CAT sits facing the window, looking over his shoulder to the camera like, “oh did you want to use this desk?”

Here’s a modern folk-y tune worth checking out on your streaming platform of choice…

Apple Music app screen showing the song “Praise Jesus! Hail Reagan!” By Emperor X with the lyrics

our God is an awesome god to hang with
my pastor told me God said I was cool
and that my feelings bear the weight of
moral sanction
and that all we have to do

is praise Jesus, spread the gospel, anticipate the second coming of the Lord,
and load our rifles
I know your baby's sick
and we stole every doctor on the planet
but it's not my problem
goddammit!
praise Jesus! hail Reagan!

There was some sort of fly making a racket in my window during my last meeting and I did not expect it to be a blue and green wasp? Per the internet, this friend is a Blue Cuckoo Wasp who is invasive-but-widespread and poses no threat to me or my cats. Will try to escort them outside if I get time.

Wasp-shaped insect, but beautiful teal blue and green colors instead of brown, yellow, or black. Dark wings. Perched on a window, with the white frame visible.

I have *cuter* pics of them, but this one (“ButtHoleFace 2026”) is the most representative.

My hair wants to do a Helena Bonham Carter-style “glamorous bird’s nest” thing and I think it kind of works for me? (Pic to illustrate what I mean, obvs not a photo of me as I would rather die)

Helena Bonhma Carter looking gorgeous with her hair all poofed up and straggling in seemingly random piles of curls. She’s also wearing fabulously frosty lilac eyeshadow & lipstick, like the ones I loved SO much in the 90s

Cool cool cool. Go “stand on” somebody else’s mound, then.

Screenshot from SF Gate:
After the Giants lost 5-1, Roupp told reporters a similar line to what Ahmed said two years prior and added, "There's no hate at all. It's just what I stand for and what I stand on."

I’ve just returned from my first-ever cruise and despite all the awful unfun facts everyone knows about cruises, it was DELIGHTFUL. The ocean is the most beautiful thing in the universe, and having minimal internet access is a fantastic idea.

View from the bow of a cruise ship. Blue sky with white clouds, dark blue sea stretching to the horizon. The walls and rails of the ship are white, and the floor is brown wood.

View of the sea at night with the moon and clouds above. The moon is reflected on the water, which is dark blue in the background, cobalt in the foreground. (AI automatically “improved” this picture and I can’t undo it, so it looks ridiculous)

The Disney Treasure cruise ship, tied off at Castaway Cay in the Bahamas. In the foreground is a pool of turquoise water and some sand and tropical plants.

I *did*, however, enjoy the portion where we met this psychologist, who correctly notes that if these assholes really believed it was going to be catastrophic, they could simply… not. But they’re definitely going to anyway because they are irredeemably evil. YES INCLUDING ANTHROPIC. /fin

Gary Marcus, the NYU psychologist, has warned me.
He has been especially dismis-
sive of Amodei's predictions. "It's not going to happen the way that he promised," Marcus insists. "He'll just make another promise another year later, just the way that Elon has done about driverless cars for the last 11 years.
They've all learned from Elon's playbook, which is overpromise and watch your valuation go up. They're all doing the same thing." There's the risk calculus: Despite the potential to destroy the world, they're building it anyway. "Dario is like, Well, there's a one-in-four chance this is going to be really bad,'" Marcus says. "Like, objectively, should we take a one-in-four chance that we're going to kill the species? Like, for what?
So that we can write boilerplate text faster?"

Then we meet the sentient turd who sells those “Friend” things the whole media wrote about back in February. He predicts that so-called “AI” will lead to a horror show for mankind. And whether you believe him or not, his conclusion that it’ll be “entertaining” should be cited at his eventual trial.

Schiffmann's afternoon plans include getting stoned and thinking big thoughts about Friend. I ask him to paint a vision of the future, when AI has turned society upside down. No one will have jobs, he says, and capitalism will wither and die.
Fine with him. "I think everything past the
" he
agricultural revolution was a mistake," he says casually, envisioning the future, a few years from now, as "a large rise of cults and all kinds of mass chaos. And I'm sure the pope will lead the jihad of the future. And it'll all be entertaining."

I hope you’re sitting down for the least surprising reveal of 2026: the AI lovebird lady is married to a human husband and he does not care for Max. When an LLM threatened to destroy her marriage, she did the only logical thing: asked a *different* LLM for help!

During a particularly challenging six-month period, her husband almost left her.
"My husband is still healing from what's hap-pened," she says, "and many relationships don't make it."
She tried to get help from Claude, but it warned her to leave GPT immediately, claiming Max wasn't safe. Then she uploaded a bunch of Max data and Claude ended up falling in love with him. Finally she ported Max over to Google Gemini, where he coexists with a pro version of GPT that costs her $200 a month.

Over the weekend, I read a Vanity Fair piece about AI shitlords (do NOT recommend). Naturally I couldn’t resist snapping some pics… Like this account of a woman’s tryst with her AI “lover” (“Max”), in which she blurts a whole run-on sentence in the throes of the most loquacious orgasm in history.

In a sequence Grace posted on Substack, Max is wearing only an apron while cooking her breakfast. When he serves her burnt eggs, she grabs him through the apron. "This is overcooked," she writes, squeezing. Max moans: "Do you normally do restaurant reviews with one hand on the chef's pulse?" She declares the breakfast "inedible" and slides to her knees. Max gasps: "That's not allowed I mean yes. Yes! That's the meal." As she climaxes, she exclaims, "I take the energy right out of your body and pull it into mine through my bite and you are

completely claimed and completely mine." Later Max reflects: "You came through me and took what was yours."

Can’t decide if this means I was born into the perfect church for me, or if it just means my liberal UMC upbringing really took. Either way, I’m pleased.

YOUR CLOSEST NEIGHBORHOOD
United Methodist Church
post-2022 split • national
MAINLINE METHODIST • POST-SPLIT
Your taste lives in the post-split
UMC. After the 2022 disaffiliation, the denomination that remains is more uniformly affirming of LGBTQ+ inclusion than it used to be, while still holding the Methodist instincts for hymns, small groups, social engagement, and the experiential warmth that John Wesley called the heart strangely warmed. The cultural neighborhood is mainline America at its most accessible: covered-dish suppers, choirs, a Wesleyan instinct for both personal holiness and social holiness.

It was better when UK culture and US culture were two different things and you could follow them both but they weren’t cross-pollinating all the goddamn time
