The difficulty level in differentiating between NYTimes Pitchbot items, TheOnion items, and actual real true news items is growing at an exponential rate. Sorry, I mean a "SuperMathy" rate pls don't deport/shoot me.

FYI: if you're reno-ing a smallish room in a house previously occupied by A Dipshit, it will take two hours to remove the baseboard quarter-round. Because they used 2" RING SHANK NAILS at 60* to toenail it to the subfloor. Is ... is it load-bearing quarter round? Killllll meeeeee.

Same. It was awfully nice to have a go-to "less-evil version of Walmart and Amazon" -- but now they've joined the Deplorable List alongside Walgreens, CVS, most dollar stores [...] [it's a long, long list].

The fact that eBay is so hype for me to buy using THE APP that every time I desktop-visit their site they offer ten whole dollars to buy via THE APP is the #1 reason I'm leery (read: "HELL no") of installing THE APP. If that's worth $10 to them, then the data they cull is worth waaaaay more.

Recently did a 24-page admissions brochure for Alabama School of Mathematics and Science, and threw in a set of shiny new icons to use for socmed/internal docs/whatever. I'm waiting for someone to get the nerdy lil easter egg on this one.

Doing some PC cleanout and ran across photo evidence of the time I decided a regular pie lattice was boring so I hunted thru cookie cutters to find shapes that would "tile the plane" and ended up with yoda heads and squirrels.

A just-baked cranberry-apple pie on a stove. Instead of a regular slotted crust covering or a normal lattice, here we see the infinite creative possibilities of using one's cookie cutters instead. Thus, the top crust of the pie is comprised of a ring of squirrels (not sure what the heraldic position would be called here -- perhaps "sejant erect"?) and a central medallion of five Yoda heads.

Man, I don't even know. It seemed reasonable at the time.

If we already know there's a HIIIIIGH probability that it's inaccurate/non-trustable on important stuff, we can't use it for important stuff. And if we can thus only use it for unimportant stuff... then it's not a tool, it's a toy.

Sincerely convinced that Tom is one of the best humans alive. He's like an Extremely Online Millennial Mr. Rogers. Which also puts him right alongside Zohran Mamdani in my "not born in U.S. and so, tragically, can never become President" list.

If you, like me, are lazy and still have your tree up, then you, like me, can kill most of a day making accordion paper ball ornaments which are DEAD easy. Hit them with a little matte spray clearcoat for extra stiffness/durability, embellish with whatever bits of seasonal tat you have around.

This particular piece of Radical Left Scum [points at self] right here is remembering all the pearl-clutching and shrieking when Hillary went on tv and said that ignorant hateful racists and homophobes and other flavors of right-wing bigot were "deplorables."

Takes 3 hours but worth it: risotto with brown butter, fresh thyme, pinot gris, roasted garlic, sauteed leek and artichokes, and asiago, topped with butter-thyme shrimp. For bonus points, get to your inlaws' a half hour away and realize you LEFT THE WHOLE MOTHERFUCKING POT SITTING ON THE STOVE WTAF

Mine's dyed mid silver grey now, but blue and violet and pinks and reds have been in freq rotation for the last 10+ years. I've gotten [rolls down window in moving car] "OMG I LOVE YOUR HAIR" from a fellow middle-aged lady, and "😮Are you a princess??" from a small girlchild. It's good stuff.

You know what sucks* is that a good chunk of the country seems intent on setting us back to a feudal/mediaeval economic situation...but without the part where the rich do a shitload of patronage of the arts and directly fund their favorite painters / poets / musicians. * by no means the ONLY thing.
