during a lull in the interview reach behind your chair and bring forth a large box of donuts and make a great show of trying to decide which one to eat first

in your next zoom interview have not only a cup of ice coffee but seven or eight different cups of various beverages just off camera and casually drink from each of them throughout the interview the drinks should have fancy straws or colorful parasols or large pieces of fruit on the edge of the cup

What’s the odds that Mitch McConnell going to the office today is a one-off?

Anyone seeing what problems Waymos cause in some neighborhoods is going to make a practical and proactive choice about a much less (user or otherwise) friendly version.

After all this ridiculousness, the entire world simmering … Dolly Parton and Tim Curry? Next time they come for your queer joy, this is “oh not today” Stonewall energy. Push back hard. Make a kick line, throw a (metaphorical) brick.

99% sure the flock camera at the busy highway exit (and historically notorious nexus of bad driving and human trafficking) near me on 161 is actually just aimed at the pot dispensary’s parking lot?

I don’t miss teaching. The one or two sloppy, low-effort, pre ChatGPT plagiarists every semester were bad enough - and took up most of my time and effort. When it turns into one big game of Gotcha, there’s no reason for anyone to be there.

I can’t do this anymore. No more YouTube vids with unskippable 4 minute ads. No more fighting Walgreens patronizing phone system to actually reach a person. No more articles with surprise paywalls and unavoidable pop ads. No more OneDrive turning itself back on. It’s gotten too enshittified.

#letterboxdfriday #lastfourwatched The Netflix Troll movies (paint by numbers, family accessible, fun), Bugonia (bloated, good, not gonzo enough), The Mothman Prophecies (saw once, on release - has aged surprisingly well, best of this bunch?), The Mummy (bloated, icky, and Evil Deadlish).

Troll 2 (the newer one), Bugonia, The Mothman Prophecies, and Lee Cronin’s The Mummy

I am once again begging Hollywood to stop using the Greek alphabet for an Ancient World movie, if they can't afford to even throw a couple of quid at anyone with an inkling of the language. Unless they really think audiences are dying to see THS THDPSSSSPS

No, that's okay. 1) My credit cards are getting enough of a workout at the moment because EVERYTHING is expensive now 2) Unlike a fraudulent charge, your CC isn't going to want to work with you when your rapacious toy robot runs the bill up

My MIL pulled her car over to rescue three waaaaay too young to be alone kittens from a box left on the side of a rural road. We kept two, they’re absolute gremlins, and my only regret is the third was happily homed with another family…

Constant refusals trying to access concert tickets on AXS from a link THEY sent ME. It's insulting. Everything is too expensive right now to begin with anyhow, so (glass half full) it's a good check on impulse spending $$$ on a show...

Reading mentions today of a "Vivek's sidepiece" and "Melania's secret daughter" and hoping they're the same person because the vibe is a real life equivalent of "special guest star characters who'd show up for 3-4 episode arcs on 'Melrose Place'"

not many people know this, but Barilla has a line of 3D printed pasta it sells mostly to the fine dining industry. I don't want the pasta. I want the pasta printer

a variety of 3d printed dried pastas in basket shapes, whorls, little vases, etc

a vase shaped 3d printed pasta in a purple goo with little globs of green stuff

the pasta printer, a big bulky black machine that prints pasta onto glass sheets

more pastas printed on the pasta printer
