Messages has inexplicably begun to convey my husband's reactions in French. Pourquoi?

Over Thanksgiving we stayed with dear friends in both the Palisades and Altadena. Both might have lost the homes in whose guest rooms we were so comfortably ensconced. My heart goes out to them and everyone affected by these devastating fires. Gratitude to the first responders and good Samaritans.

How, in 2024, do a female GYN office’s exam rooms not have a hook / hangers for clothing? #smdh

“Proto Pretty” by Wondermints is a perfect pop tune. Listening to it makes me smile. www.youtube.com/watch?v=05m-...

TFW you thought you’d put your phone on sleep focus before bed but you didn’t, and a text buzzes through to your watch and wakes you up after only 5 hours of sleep. 😵‍💫

Me, furiously closing the several dozen open apps on my phone: how on earth do I have that many apps going? Me, five minutes later: I already have two dozen apps open again.

Bemused at marketers frantically sending "Last chance to save!" emails as if consumers aren't well aware they'll have many, many MORE "last chances" to save, with perhaps even better discounts, every week from now until eternity.

Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #45,300! Howdy, y'all. I haven't been as active here as on other platforms, but I'm here. Nice to see you.

Any Wikipedia editing experts out there? I want to create a full page for someone who's currently only listed as a redirect and I don't know how to edit that. I have the page itself drafted in markup, but want to correctly add it without incurring the wrath of the editing community. @xor.blue? TIA!

Apropos of nothing in particular, but just in case anyone’s wondering - Yes, from the stage, we can pretty much see anyone in the orchestra seats.

My dentist made a Shakespeare authorship joke the other day, and was a little *too* impressed when I immediately countered with a Marlowe reference. Dude, you're not the only one in this room who attended college, you know.

You’d think FB wouldn’t suggest as a friend someone with whom you were already friends, but has apparently unfriended you (and the suggestion is how you discover this). But you’d be wrong. Sigh.

Because no one else is posting fireworks photos tonight… JKLOL. Here’s mine, of the finale of the Magic Kingdom display, taken from about a mile away.

On July 2 2009 I was diagnosed with cancer. On July 2 2023 I got to hang out with my 1-year-old granddaughter. I bow down to science, and the experts harnessing it, for saving me 14 years ago. #deepthoughts

For anyone who cares about such things: we had a transcendent meal at Kadence in Orlando tonight. If you have the budget and can snag a ressie (they only have 9 seats), you won’t be disappointed.

Maybe it's just me... but if I don't know you and you're sending me unsolicited email about your product or service and asking me to click on a link to your calendar and schedule time with you to discuss it... just don't. Not gonna happen. Like, ever. Kthxbai.

OK guys, I referred to Brad Pitt playing an F1 driver as "Poetic Superlicense" and that frankly that deserves some love.

Wait... Brad Pitt is playing an F1 driver? For real? He'd old enough (59) to be Oscar Piastri's (McLaren driver, age 21) gramps! Did he get a Poetic Superlicense?

Between November 2023 and February 2024 Las Vegas will host BravoCon, F1, NFR, CES, AVN, and the Super Bowl, along with the Raiders and Golden Knights. What a time to be alive (and a Las Vegas resident!).
