Sitting in a shitty wings place waiting for my order and they have the TV on. It’s the first time I’ve seen ads in a long time. And yet, the commercials could come out of the 50’s. Did you know that you can vibrate your way to fitness? It’s revolutionary and definitely not bullshit debunked in 1953.

I love comedy and I particularly love live comedy and supporting local comedy clubs but holy hell is it depressing to see who is getting bookings and who isn’t. And this is *not* atypical. A week where even a single performer - opener or headliner - is *not* a dude is unusual. 🫠
A week’s worth of comics booked at a local club and every single fucking one of them is a dude and all but one of them white.

Oh, you mean like my chihuahua and his best friend, a Great Dane (who, according to my chihuahua, is of equal size to him. Just two normal-sized dog bros). 😄

I sent that to the 1999 fan in my life, the same guy who got me into B5, Farscape, Dark Star, etc.

I weigh myself once a week for medical purposes, but not more often than that because fuck thinking about my weight more than that. And I use a smart scale so that I have pretty graphs. You'd think the large, well-known company that makes the scale would account for this scenario, but...
A screenshot of a line sloping very distinctly down and to the right, with the X axis being days of the week. The label says that my weight is stable and I have lost 0.0 lb because their definition of a week does not include last Friday, which was the last time I weighed myself. So I simultaneously lost several pounds and also didn't lose any weight at all.

From an open source project, specifically a PR to open a feature where folks are asked to fill out a questionnaire when opening large PR’s that add features, detailing what future maintenance will look like. Just a little bit of a gut punch to start my morning.

Post the first game you completed. I honestly don't remember if we beat Alice in Wonderland or Swiss Family Robinson first but I liked Alice in Wonderland better so that's what I went with. The Windham Classics were, in fact, classics.

I'm never sure what 'Audible Exclusive' means, because I can (and literally just did as a test) buy and play your audiobooks through the Apple iBook store. The images even have the little 'Only from Audible" stripe on them buuuut. 🤷‍♂️

Just to note that stand reminders are something you can individually turn on/off, outside of the rest of the Activity notification stuff. I was setting up a new watch this morning and saw it when I was going in and turning off all of the other notifications as well. 😅

Woman 2: That is quite inappropriate. He could be your father.

Sick of having to come up with prompts

Hey y'all, looking for some tips here. I like what l've made so far with Suno but now I'm kind of hitting a wall with ideas for prompts. Why doesn't Suno also have a feature to write prompts for you? Like just hit a button the says "new prompt" and then hit make song when it comes up with something that sounds interesting! Thoughts?

On clothing, sustainability, and all of those “alternative fibers” like bamboo, eucalyptus, and seaweed. Screenshot from www.tumblr.com/aprillikesth...
If you’re trying to be sustainable in your clothing choices, the fact is that the absolute best thing you can do is:

BUY LESS CLOTHES. Period. End of story.
Buy secondhand when you can.
Make those clothes last: use cold water washes and don’t put them in the dryer and don’t use fabric softener. Repair them when you can, and use them for rags when they wear out.
“What fiber is it made of” just matters way fucking less than buying fewer items of clothing and using them until they wear out.

But most people don’t want to do those things. They want to know which brand of clothes is “sustainable.”

The sustainable thing is to buy and throw away less clothes. That’s it.

I’m not sure *interest* is the right word here.

The one vote against was Clay Higgins (R, LA). There are too many terrible people for me to keep track of all of them, so I looked him up on Wikipedia. Pretty sure these coupla paragraphs have all the information I need to know. Especially enjoyed "Car dealership manager". 👩‍🍳💋
Career
At age 18, Higgins enlisted in the Military Police Corps of the Louisiana National Guard, serving for six years (1979–85) and reaching the rank of staff sergeant.[6][7][8] While working as a military officer, Higgins supported the 1992 presidential campaign of Pat Buchanan and the gubernatorial campaign of Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke, despite Higgins describing Duke as a "Nazi" to an Atlanta Journal-Constitution reporter.[9][10]

He worked for several years as a manager of car dealerships.[5]

Local law enforcement
In 2004, Higgins became a patrol officer for the Opelousas City police department. By 2007, police chief Perry Gallow was prepared to take major disciplinary action against Higgins who was accused of beating a Black man who was handcuffed and lying about it.[11] In a letter to the city council, the police chief wrote, "Clay Higgins used unnecessary force on a subject during the execution of a warrant and later gave false statements during an internal investigation...although he later recanted his story and admitted to striking a suspect in handcuffs and later releasing him".[12] Higgins resigned before disciplinary action could be imposed.

What an excellent summation of my thoughts on shouters. From The Emilie Adventures by @marthawells.com
"His bark is worse than his bite, you understand."

Emilie nodded politely, if noncommittally. The expression was appropriate for dogs, who were without personal malice and whose job was, after all, to bark; she didn't think it applied to people.

I like to lie to people about my age, telling them I’m much older than I actually am. If I was 60, for instance, I’d look great! If I tell people I’m 39, they tell me I should see a doctor, stat. My actual age, they just shrug. “Yeah, 47 is about right.”

I’m now getting emails from companies not about sales but “We aren’t changing prices for the next seven days! Whatever price you purchase or preorder at will be honored! Buy now!”
SECURE YOUR PRICE BEFORE
TARIFFS HIT Due to ongoing global tariff changes, the future of
product pricing has become uncertain. For those who were thinking about placing an order from our shop, we're committing to freezing all prices for the next 7 days-no matter what updates come within that time. This gives you the opportunity to make a purchase before any
potential increases take effect. And of course, the price at which you make a purchase or preorder will be honored regardless
of any future changes.
Thank you for letting us light up your world.
