Heather @littlestcabbage.bsky.social · 18/07/2025If you want to come to me all proud that you've spotted a "definite" use of ChatGPT, and your evidence is that "it has those really long dashes," I would kindly ask you to bark up a different tree. 010
Heather @littlestcabbage.bsky.social · 22/05/2025I just learned that the card used to play Suck & Blow in Clueless is an REI membership card. This fact will now become my entire personality. 020

Heather @littlestcabbage.bsky.social · 14/05/2025Sometimes it's fun to pinpoint the reason you know something (a song, a fact, a person...). Today I used the word "sclera." I realized I know it because of an essay in Penn & Teller's 1989 book Cruel Tricks for Dear Friends, in which Teller has an essay called "The Scleral Shells." Thanks, P&T. 000
Heather @littlestcabbage.bsky.social · 12/03/2025Is there a job that is just listening to Lady Gaga's "Killah" on repeat for 8 hours a day? If so, I'll brush up my résumé. 000

Heather @littlestcabbage.bsky.social · 26/12/2024“Wow,” I thought. “People sure love my Very Best Wrong Answer in my trivia league. It placed 8th in the vote and all these folks retweeted it.” *looks at the shares* And that’s how I learned several other folks submitted this answer too. Nothing new under the sun blah blah blah… 060
Heather @littlestcabbage.bsky.social · 09/12/2024Every article I read about what businesses should consider before using generative AI has the same ridiculously obvious conclusion. It reminds me of a gag in a Fry & Laurie sketch: "Let me give a warning to any families planning to take poetry on holiday with them: Be careful."

Heather @littlestcabbage.bsky.social · 04/12/2024I live in Seattle, WA (Pacific time zone). My cell phone number is from New York, NY (Eastern time zone). Every single time I call Aetna in the afternoon, I'm told I'm calling outside of business hours because they're only open until 6pm in "my" time zone. GREAT JOB, ROBOTS. 010
Heather @littlestcabbage.bsky.social · 24/11/2024I searched "Christmas bucket list" to get some activity ideas. (Trynna keep things jolly in a grim year, you know.) One list had mostly small, simple acts ("have a snowball fight," "make a wish list," "send Christmas cards"). I was not prepared for the jump in scale between ideas 48 and 50. 020
Heather @littlestcabbage.bsky.social · 07/11/2024I googled "Freddie Powell," a participant on Love Is Blind UK and, of course, google tossed up an AI Overview. Please enjoy the image google's AI used to illustrate who Freddie's ex-fiancée "Cat" is. NO ONE ASKED FOR THIS GARBAGE, GOOGLE. 110

Heather @littlestcabbage.bsky.social · 07/11/2024I found this bonus newsletter from @hankgreen.bsky.social (via We're Here) to be useful today, particularly the C.S. Lewis quote.

Heather @littlestcabbage.bsky.social · 18/05/2024In my limited experience, two perfect concert films are Peter Gabriel's Secret World Live and Stop Making Sense. What others do I need to watch? 000
Heather @littlestcabbage.bsky.social · 26/04/2024My company's internal communications platform (Firstup) is configured to disguise concerning language with music notes. I gotta wonder: Is "old bag" really being used an inflammatory context THAT OFTEN in the year of our lord 2024 such that this is on the screen list? 010
Heather @littlestcabbage.bsky.social · 14/03/2024At last night's Salon of Shame, the evening ended with "Lucas with the Lid Off." I haven't heard this song in two decades but it is woven into the folds of my brain: I knew ALL OF IT. I just watched the video (Michel Gondry directed it) and that is incredibly familiar too.

Heather @littlestcabbage.bsky.social · 07/01/2024Hang on, do people who don't intentionally crack their knuckles just walk around with tight-feeling joints all the time? (Related: Since my right ring finger was splinted for 6 weeks this summer, I can no longer pop the middle knuckle and it is INCREDIBLY distracting.) 000

Heather @littlestcabbage.bsky.social · 18/12/2023Tell me a compliment you were given a long time ago that you still think about (and get satisfaction from). I think about this a lot when I give compliments to other people (it reminds me to be specific). Is what I'm saying going to be something they come back to when they need a boost of pride? 100
Heather @littlestcabbage.bsky.social · 16/12/2023I led my team in a couple rounds of Codenames yesterday, which we played via a Teams call. It worked so well! If you're looking for a game to play with your remote team members, I recommend.

Heather @littlestcabbage.bsky.social · 07/11/2023I saw Hadestown for the first time last night. I loved it! But after the umpteenth round of Orpheus singing his falsetto tune, I leaned over to my dude and whispered, "He's the hated milk machine," and we both lost it. youtu.be/CVuq3p8lqDM&... 000

Heather @littlestcabbage.bsky.social · 06/10/2023The frequency with which I am startled by a stink bug landing on my office window is unacceptable. 1) These fuckers are huge! They make so much noise when they land! 2) It happens so often! Why am I not used to it yet? 3) Why this window in particular? 4) Do stinkbugs find me attractive? 000
