😂 ohmygoooood that's exactly her role, you're right. It's so bad. So bad! THE WIGS. They spent like a billion dollars on the series and the wigs are just ATROCIOUS.

Rewatching the terrible LOTR show because even though it's terrible, like really terrible, I do enjoy watching Sauron be a smug little bitch. I love a villain who's having fun causing mayhem.

Is your husband a state worker? Because if so, he seems to be getting a different deal than the rest of us. And if he's not, then this isn't relevant to the conversation. 🤷

They can "make" more money with sick and vacation leave? Last time I checked, I can't spend my leave. In fact, I don't even get paid out for my sick leave if I quit. And if I'm so over the sick leave threshold that the state offers to buy some from me, it's at 25% of what it's worth.

The second season of Netflix's live action Avatar show is so much worse than I imagined. I see why people suspect they used AI to write it.

Could my wife have waited until AFTER outreach season/the Great ShakeOut to leave me, JFC I am so tired why did I agree months ago to do so many outreach events. 😭💀🪦

Are you prepared? Emergencies aren't always big. Sometimes you dig into your emergency kit when you get to the office & realize you're wearing slippers! 😱 Glad I keep spare shoes in my car, even if I have to wear hiking boots all day. Being prepared serves us every day, not just our worst days.

I visited friends this weekend and my wife took the opportunity to completely move out of the house without telling me. 🤷 I only knew about it because the doorbell camera caught it. Like... I just... okay. Bye, I guess?

Nothing gets me foaming-at-the-mouth mad like people saying AI is inevitable or that we're already fucked because of it. It's not inevitable! We can fight it! You can literally just not use it! AAAHHHH.

This is the best show in the aquarium. Millions of years of evolution and these guys could not give less of a shit about us. There's one thing they want to do in life and they're doing it. It's fantastic.
Blue illum flumping in their aquarium like some little guys. They're just bopping around in there.

Me packing for a 3-day trip during which I will never be out of Wi-Fi range: Okay, so 2 Kindle books downloaded for the flight there, and a paperback packed in case my phone battery dies, and also a charging cord to charge on the plane... Do I need another physical book just in case? Or maybe 3?

Neighbors are the first responders of a major disaster. Despite how cute and fluffy their pets may be, they won’t be the ones able to help you when you may need it most. For National Preparedness Month, we want to encourage you to get to know your neighbors and work on preparedness together!

I regret to announce that my brain's newest test for judging whether I'm currently dreaming is just asking "is my wife talking to me?" followed by "is my wife being nice to me?" and if the answers to both are yes then I'm definitely dreaming. It's like the Inception test but faster.

Woke up to BlueSky talking about my college hyperfixation! Fun fact, I basically got an entire history BA because I found Japan's WWII biological warfare research program so interesting that I just kept taking history classes. .....I'm normal, I promise.

Somehow this is the funniest part to me. Like, sorry Mr. Ishii, your staff were just crap at writing things down in a scientifically sound manner. Should have trained them better on that while you were busy offering the Emperor your filtered urine to drink. 🤷

An observation based solely on personal opinion... The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (2003): Not good, and always worse than you remember it being. Van Helsing (2004): Not good, but always better than you remember it being.
