The situation with Christa Pike has only bolstered my resolute belief that the death penalty should be completely abolished.

Best part of the weather getting colder is definitely now the cats want to snuggle more.

When picking up my meds at Walgreen's today there was a loose dog (No tags, no collar) at the busy corner of 29th and Grand. It was heartening to see how many strangers took time out of their day to try to catch it.

Read an article explaining how this regime considers anyone who is anti-AI/Data Centers are influenced by Chinese propaganda, if not outright agents sowing dissent. Look, my policy is that if Musk, Zuck, or any of the seemingly endless tech chuds want it done...it's probably the worst thing ever.

Not like I am not also, but Crybaby is very food motivated. She’s getting used to us. She actually came for the food while I was on the porch and I even got to pet her! So sweet! #CrybabyKitty #Cat #Stray #FoodMotivated #NomNomNom #CatTax #Blueskycat

A stray tabby with a clipped ear eats kibble from a bowl on a porch. She got her name because she will stand away from you, but meow really long, not a yowl or screech, a meow. It’s adorable.

Trying to figure out who the bigger psycho is. Is it my co-worker who bought a too-big bag of popcorn and then left it in the break room for others? OR whatever person would wander into a communal break room, see half a bag of popcorn, and then take a big handful?

Very biblical morning. Was eating ribs when my wife came up to me for "just a bite" and basically devoured one.

It was the all-employee picnic at the hospital today. Literally the moment started over the loudspeaker there was a Code Blue announced. So I assume it all went well.

Re-reading Keith Giffen's "Legion of Super-Heroes" run. It's set in 2994. There is an advertisement for a cyborg that has "3 million megabyte capacity."...that's three terabytes. The future is amazing!

My co-worker moved desks, so their workspace is in my eye line. They have a lot of motivational posters around them. All I have is a Post-It from my wife that reads "I hope today isn't a shit show."

Going to get into cryogenics. First part of my business will be fleecing rich people who fear death. Then, once that well runs dry, I will make money from their descendants by threatening to unleash their racist grandpa on them if they don't pay up.

Of course the vacation I was looking forward to all Summer is the one weekend where it's cold weather and predicted rain. Still not as bad as last year, though.

Know it’s early in this issue, but can a writer refuse to have their work put into an AI checker before publishing? I know it would sound suspicious, but really I just wouldn’t want my manuscript fed to AI after I spent the time writing it.

More games need an “Arkham”-esque fear mechanism. Playing “Black Flag” and these enemies just keep coming at me, despite the literal trail of corpses in my wake. Especially in the Golden Age of Pirates. British soldiers weren’t this dedicated. They were only motivated by rum, sodomy, and the lash!
