Happy Friday to everyone who is ready for the weekend 😽

I appreciate that Dolly Parton refused to participate in "dress respectability" and, by her own account, modeled her aesthetic after a town "tramp," who she thought was beautiful. She separated aesthetics from character and understood "classiness" to be about how you treat people, not how you dress.

One thing about getting older —
you sit back and observe all the shady things people do
(people you thought cared about you), and you have absolutely no question
why Britney dances and juggles knives…

Heartened to see that my university is ending its contract with Turnitin before the next academic year, because Turnitin is going to use student submissions to train AI models. Institutions can and should resist this stuff!

always loved this final line
Naomi Shihab Nye Missing the Boat It is not so much that the boat passed and you failed to notice it. It is more like the boat stopped directly outside your bedroom window, the captain blowing the signal-horn, the band playing a rousing march. The boat shouted, waving bright flags, its silver hull blinding in the sunlight. But you had this idea you were going by train. You kept checking the time-table, digging for tracks. And the boat got tired of you, so tired it pulled up the anchor and raised the ramp. The boat bobbed into the distance, shrinking like a toy— at which point you probably realized you had always loved the sea.

When I started my first office job in 2001, smokers got extra breaks and saw it as a barely acceptable compromise now they were no longer allowed to light up at their desks.

I think people also forget how angry smokers got over the simple concept of not being able to smoke when or where they wanted. Comedians had entire sets about telling you how much of a loser asshole you were for asking them not to smoke here.

Some people have no idea, like... *everything* smelled bad. Everything. We lived in a hazy, toxic, smelly public world where the furthest you could get from cigarette smoke in busy places was to be in the 'non-smoking' part of a café, which was the same room as the smoking part.

Mitch McConnell hasn’t been seen or heard from in 25 days in the hospital.

Yet he still has a job, still getting paid, and getting unlimited world class healthcare.

The man who voted against a living wage, against universal healthcare, and against guaranteed paid leave, is now getting all three.

A lot of people (accurately) point out that premium video games are cheaper today than they were 30 years ago thanks to inflation, but discussed less often is how much bigger the margins are for game companies now that sales are 80-90% (soon to be 100%) digital. No more retail or packaging costs!
