What happened to the sex robot revolution? I spent months deep-diving on the edges of sex tech. Read my dispatch, featuring detachable penises, sucking vaginas, and an implanted electrode.

There is truly nothing like a Southwest flight to Vegas. (Where I'm connecting today.) Flight attendant on the PA: "Is there a David (something) on board?" Loud female voice: "No, he is not! We just broke up."

Frank: It's the same old story. Boy finds girl, boy loses girl, girl finds boy, boy forgets girl, boy remembers girl, girl dies in a tragic blimp accident over the Orange Bowl on New Year's Day. Jane: Goodyear? Frank: No, the worst.

If Steyer places worse than second tonight, I am moving to Canada. I do not want to live in a country where a white male billionaire (with hair no less) cannot buy an election against candidates as mid as his opponents are in the California governor primary.

If more news outlets understood that they didn’t need to waste resources having a reporter compete with 23 other outlets for 23 copies of the same story, America would be a better place and local communities would have more informed voters.
Instead of doing, I don't know, REPORTING on what I assume is the biggest story in Maine politics, @aseitzwald just tossing up screen shots from reddit? LOCAL JOURNALISM, BABY 🙄

They literally do slowly titrate you off of alcohol and heroin you stupid bint
If you go into hospital as an alcoholic, they don't put a bottle of vodka on your bedside table and titrate the dose. They remove the alcohol. If you go into hospital as a heroin addict, they don't hand you a syringe with the meal tray. They remove the heroin. If you go into hospital as a smoker, they don't wheel you outside every two hours for a cigarette break. They remove the cigarettes. If you go into hospital as a type 2 diabetic, they bring you white toast, cornflakes, fruit juice, a jam sachet, and a sweetened yoghurt. Then inject insulin to manage the blood sugar response. Then write in your notes that your diabetes is "poorly controlled." Every other addiction is treated by removing the substance. The one driven by carbohydrate is treated by serving the substance and medicating the response. Have a think about why.
