I followed along with your prep and found some of it really helpful. Now I have a hydroponic setup for herbs & lettuces, a small backup battery for power outages, a 5-gallon jerry can of water, and a LifeStraw. The Pluslife tester ended up a $400 paperweight, but we couldn't have seen that coming.

If I built an AI lab and it went rogue and deleted all student loan information, I'm betting they'd suddenly figure out how to prosecute me.

In the vein of "public libraries could never be created today," a pitch for a calculator would get you thrown out of the boardroom. What do you mean, it just maths? Where are the ads supposed to go? How does it send usage telemetry back if it doesn't even have wifi? There isn't even a leaderboard.

Bluesky entered my life at the exact right time, I can post about Costco and tires and no one is like "oh boring," everyone just says "oh yes I too am between the ages of 35 and 55 and I too have spent a lot of time contemplating various aspects of Costco and tires"

I read female rage fic and lift heavy hoping against hope that karma might one day bless me to be within striking distance of a man-child in a backwards baseball cap condemning menopausal women for being fat. I dream of this opportunity. Train for it. Live to earn the chance.

The gossamer muslin used to create early c19th gowns was sometimes described as ‘woven wind’, an amazing description for the lightweight fabric. Here it has been embroidered with wool and I can only imagine the challenges that came with such stitching. C1815 #NGVMelbourne #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

it's the sheer gleefulness of his hypocrisy that really gets under my skin. He's just so much That Fucking Guy. I would be fascinated to know if there's a gender split in how quickly readers clock that he's a villain. I'd be willing to bet a minimum of five Skittles that women pick it up before men.

There i’d a man who is practicing his fencing lunges on the brand-new punching bag in our brand new park. On the one hand, very cool to see fencing in the wild. On the other hand: our gorgeous little park is barely two weeks old and if you hurt ANY part of it I will end you.

i worry that men think being A Good Guy is dramatically and heroically intervening on behalf of an endangered woman and then being publicly rewarded on a grand scale when actually being A Good Guy is just usually saying, “hey man that’s not funny” or “wow that’s fucked up” and there is no reward

I bought all 5 seasons to stream ($20 on the evil jungle site right now!) & the hype is real. This is a delightful, unhinged, emotionally aware, queer-friendly, joy-centering space-pew-pew show. I'm so glad @mostlybree.kitrocha.com and others kept it bubbling in my consciousness long enough to buy.

For sheer skin-crawling revulsion, my vote in film has to be Benedict Cumberbatch’s portrayal of Paul Marshall in “Atonement”. I didn’t experience the same feeling in books until I encountered Sir Grahame Reed “Gabriel” Mallett in Dorothy Dunnett’s “Disorderly Knights” and “Pawn in Frankincense”.

The c19th aesthetic obsession with all things ferny, scrolls across the brocade of this c1887 gown, the green panels interspersed with dashes of greenery around the bodice and layer of skirt. Some fancy smocking completes the decorative display #museumatFIT #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

People talk about sick burns and smackdowns and all the rest. But man, Mamdani's biggest flex and power move has always been Trump's docile and friendly-puppy-like behavior in Mamdani's presence. Like EVERY TIME. It's like someone flips an electrode in Trump's brain and puts him into docile mode.

It’s very simple. A reality TV host became dictator because he turned down a role for Sharknado 4 and that’s why the king of outer space, who cheats at Diablo, got to kill Africa. Now the economy is controlled by a sex cult that has something to do with Harry Potter fanfic because of robots.

agreed. I like having a central place to review and query transcripts. Ex: I ask the AI tool “pull the quotes and time stamps from every working session in the past two months where the term ‘disbursement approval’ was used”. I consider meeting summaries worse than useless.

IMO, the solution should not be to browbeat people into an old standard, but rather allow people to wear whatever they want. If someone can wear ducky pajamas in public, you can wear tailoring in any cut, color, and material. As options open up, dress can then be a source of pleasure.
