This has the LLM structure, but doesn’t read like the sentences LLMs write. When LLMs use this, they’re never introducing a genuinely new thought in the second clause. That’s why it reads so hollow, this construction is always filler in LLM writing

Skill issue. My great-great grandma died of Spanish Flu. Her alcoholic husband dropped all their children off at an orphanage, including my great grandmother. When she was 17, the teenage apprentice plumber who came to fix the orphanage’s pipes saw her and fell in love. He got

This is maybe the biggest point of parent/layman misunderstanding in education but it’s not spicy enough to cause discourse. Sometimes I think the fact that we have a comprehensive curriculum (not just outlines, but scripted lessons etc) designed by a central team is our most

The Color Guesser game sounds dull but is great fun for a few minutes. You are giving the name of a color and have to pick the right color. The game gives you a proximity score. Even better here is data showing how the community of guessers did. Play it here for free:

Glinda was not coded as a princess in the original 1939 film. The actress who played her was in her 50s at the time! She much more embodied the "fairy godmother" archetype, drawing from theatrical traditions where magical or regal figures were played older to signal status and

Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret Amazing little movie with sweet performances. I love that they didn’t modernize the story. Sad that there are so few pieces of popular media for and about tween girls today that explore topics like puberty, friendship, and family at Judy

I think I’ve lived out of alignment with my wants sometimes because some deep part of me believes that the things that I want must be bad. But when I actually sit and think about what I really want, it’s often the thing that would be most healthy and compassionate of me to do.

ME: ...so anyway, Lena Dunham insinuates Jack Antonoff had a relationship with a teen singer. She doesn't flat-out say it, but it's implied. And she doesn't say who with, but it's clearly Lorde. Look at the timing of it. MY LAWYER: Please stop talking once the judge comes in.
