Dentist: “did you see that video of a girl pushing another girl because they disagreed on politics?”
Assistant: “no, I don’t think so.”
Dentist: “Well, it turns out she is Mongolian.”
Assistant: ?????

I swear my dentist purposefully say ridiculous things while working on my teeth so that it’d be a torture for me to not be able to reply.

Hey, NY Times assistant managing editor @patrickhealynyt.bsky.social,
You invited me to a video chat a few weeks ago because you said the Times wanted to hear serious criticism of its coverage. Then the Times cancels the contract of a columnist because she reposted my Bluesky post criticizing you?

Just got my first bank security alert that warns not to share passwords with your AI personal assistant because they do things without your consent, and warns that if you've given them access, you've given them permission for anything they do.

Nice piece about the election by Dan Froomkin, and I'm not just saying that because he praises my recent video joust with New York Times assistant managing editor Patrick Healy.
Today is about reclaiming our democracy. The world knows this. The resistance knows this. Future schoolchildren will know this.
But our news media, focused on horserace, kerfuffles, and gas prices, has missed that story entirely.
I think that’s pretty fucked up.
