Not only did I meet Robert Kraft, I worked for him.

His kid Jonathan asked me to “remove the black music” from my gameday playlist in ‘94 & I refused so they fired me. I was the cheerleader director at the time. 

I sued them for wrongful termination and won.

So yes, I know that motherfucker.

"Hid mistakes and made up data" used to be called by the cozy term "hallucination" up until it became vitally important for the IPO that AI is now evil

Does anyone need some goldfish?
Or better..
EVERYONE NEEDS GOLDFISH!

Our fish did very well this summer, and we are overstocked.
We need to get rid of 8 or so fish, so we will have room inside this winter.
A BARGAIN AT FREE!
No 23 ski-doo college prank reenactors.
No free fish lunch sickos.

Drop in any mailbox. I'll answer. Please. It's the murmur, the scarring fever, of a page, always the same, urgent, muted: calling Mr. Name. Calling Mr. Name. You exsanguinate. For the carpets of indolence, for the cut-throat chandelier, for the forced forsythia on the table—you pay, dear. But some of it's free. A knock and rise in the ribs, gardenia pectoris, and at four a muffled din: the revolving door is bearing balloons; look out-someone's checking in.

Macklemore just announced he’s donating the $1 million he made from Sheeran’s tour to 6 organizations to support Palestinians and he’s asking Robert Kraft to match it. This is just the first part announcing it.
With everything that has happened over the last 48 hours, I want to bring the conversation back to where it belongs: to the Palestinian people who are still being killed, still living under military occupation, and still fighting for their freedom. I will be donating the entire $1 million of my net earnings from Ed Sheeran's Loop Tour to six organizations working directly to support the Palestinian people. And I invite Robert Kraft to match my donation. Whatever we disagree about, perhaps we can agree on this: Palestinian lives are worth protecting. A Palestinian life is no less valuable than any other life on this earth.

Okay so @defector.com has had an odd glitch since the site redesign a couple of weeks back where the wrong photo and headline are often put together on the main page and I was going to ask them about fixing it but this just happened and as far as I'm concerned they have to leave it as is.
Screenshot for a Defector podcast episode with the headline "Consider the Emotional Lives of Scallops" only the accompanying photo is a white gormless stubbled red-headed UK singer of recent notoriety giving a flat smile to the camera while wearing a washed out peach top as beige as he is against a flat background. So, actually, probably a scallop anyway.

"I'm being ferociously brave,"
I say out loud,
stalking from room to room
like fear could even be struck
in the afternoon's third errant wasp.

Two already circle like inverted fish
under empty cups by the sink
where they are counted
and recounted
before each ride along
dopamine's sweet rhythm.
