I ran into voice actor John DiMaggio walking through LAX, and he was impressed that I recognized him.

Was it super easy? Barely an inconvenience?

I can’t feel where my skin ends and the air begins.

Snoop Craiggy Craig all day long, baby.

Yeah this isn’t really headline news, unfortunately.

It’s not pointless. If we all complain when conservatives flush the rules down the toilet and kick open Pandora’s box, then do nothing when liberals lick their corporate donors’ toes while fretting over the propriety of the tiniest changes, then the Overton window keeps moving right and we’re all fucked.

I opened the article thinking that, surely, the painting had been sold for cheap and gone through several hands before ending up above this person’s couch.

Two models disagreeing does not mean that the disagreement was a deliberate manipulation.

The phrase in question has no verb.

No dialogue is ever static; every conversation offers an opportunity to reassess and refine one’s viewpoints in light of new insights. In coming to genuine agreements, we learn not only about others but also about ourselves, gaining awareness of how our internal values align with the broader spectrum of social beliefs.
