And she had requested firing squad because this sort of thing keeps happening...

My dentist office has their radio on a generic pop station, and last time I was there I had the epiphany that it's no wonder people who listen to music like that would see AI music as good.

Nice campaign by the Norwegian Consumer Council about the declining lifespan of products. Enjoy!

Here's something that will intensify even further the public's rejection of data centers and AI.

Can we actually say that he's losing at things like curbing inflation or bringing back factory jobs when he's not actually trying to do those things?

Pretty sure referring to it as anything other than "Lake Ontario" is considered an act of blasphemy in Michigan.

And I kind of feel like this would be one of the better scenarios. There's this contaminated beef from Argentina, "soylent green"...

And it doesn't just impact the smoker. Post-stroke, I'm suppose to avoid second hand smoke. There was a time when that would have been impossible.

The first headline I read made it sound like he hid in there because he just didn't want to be there anymore. Which was a lot more funny than the whole story.

I've been going there for years and I've never found this third floor. It's made me wonder just HOW crazy I must be :D

This wouldn't be the one in Lansing, MI, would it? Because I have questions about this mysterious 3rd floor...

I'll be honest, when my HR job turned into a glorified call center, 90% of the calls could have been handled by a bot. But that other 10% REALLY needed a real person.

As someone who also had a near death experience in their 30's (stroke) - don't feel guilty!

What I'll always find remarkable is that the people who complained the loudest were the ones with large backyards and plenty of space. The people stuck in cramped NYC apartments were relatively silent.

This makes me feel less silly for obsessively checking and re-checking an email I'm replying to.

I showed this to my spouse and he assured me this was never something I should ever, ever worry about.

But being moderately annoyed doesn't entertain anybody. I'm all about the comically over-dramatic reactions, thank you :)

I want people to understand the full impact of the devastation that First Nations in Canada are facing. It's NOT just that people and wildlife are losing their homes...it's the history that is being lost for generations to come.

Of course if it gets into the water supply and our water treatment plants don't treat for it... But for now, we revel on!

The #GreatLakes literally define Michigan. Our borders are the shore of 20% of all the accessible fresh surface water on Earth. Is this what Governor Whitmer wants her legacy to be? Years of disruptive construction pollution while the aged and dangerous pipeline remains a threat? #ShutDownLine5

I like this, because just because you don't have the "BE FAST" symptoms doesn't mean you're not having a stroke. Learned that the hard way.

I can imagine it could be helpful for other people in a similar situation. Of course the general rule is don't post about legal cases until things are settled.

I was sitting here wondering - would the arborist actually agree to cut down such an impossibly mutant tree, or would they insist on studying it first?

bematthe @bematthe.bsky.social · 25/06/2026

And I was over here wringing my hands about having an arborist come just look at a possibly sick tree that's bordering our property and is a potential public hazard. (Neighbors dgaf, even after a large branch pulled a Final Destination move on them)

I remember those times. And I remember constantly seeing adults being idiots. I don't imagine that was very comforting.

This photo contains the entirety of my clarkia crop this year. But if the loss of seedlings is the worse thing to come out of having a stroke, I'd say that's a-okay with me. #gardening

So if you leave the IVF clinic, is it considered leaving a child unattended? Do we call CPS?

I once went into a grocery store and encountered problem, after problem, after problem. I counted 14 in all. And afterwards I realized that all of them could have been avoided if they didn't practice lean staffing.

I've only had one error so far, and thankfully it was a minor one (it said my interests include motorcycles, wtf?). MyChart needs to at least have a feature where you can submit corrections...
