Whelp, I made it a whole 7 minutes into my workday before I wanted to grab my 18" cast iron skillet to apply some percussive maintenance to <strike>one</strike> two of my co-workers in the hopes of resetting their ability to actually fuckin think. It's gonna be a day....

Just got a politispam text that included the following: 'The "Sisters [of Perpetual Indulgence]" are a group of radical trans activists who hold sacrilegious events and dress up as nuns to mock Christians.' 7 minutes ago, and I'm STILL laughing. Just... honey.......really?

Sagittarius: It's important to look after your emotional health. If you feel the need to dissolve into a puddle of goo and loose bones, just go for it. You deserve to be happy.

I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

OK, yeah, sure joke and dunk on all you want, but this is a LEGIT THING. The SW Development types have been doing it for decades, except they (we) explain the problem to a rubber duck or other such implicitly clueless thing.

Here’s the most incredible story you’ll read today. A small plane with four people aboard crashes in a field. Another pilot witnesses it. That pilot happens to be flying a bunch of skydivers. They offer to jump to assist, are given permission. The skydivers happen to be EMTs. Everyone survives.

Skydivers alert emergency crews, assist after plane crashes near East Troy airport

Four people were aboard the single-engine plane when it went down in a cornfield near Carvers School Road in East Troy at about 1:30 p.m.

Oh, you silly, silly youtuber. Pflugerville is not pronounced "Flurjerville". Next time you're clout chasing, try checking Wikipedia next time, where it would tell you it's pronounced "Floo-ger-ville"

Of the 5 categories I had any personal investment in with the Hugo awards: 1 went to my choice 1 went to not-my-choice, but I'm not exactly mad about it 3 went to not-my-choice, and I am DISAPPOINT.

If Dolly was our constant reminder that it was Good to be Good, Tim Curry was our reminder that it was Good to be Weird. Embrace your strangeness, sing with Muppets, wear your lingerie with a leather jacket, and fuck with uptight people who hate anything that makes them remotely uncomfortable.

Quickest way to show me you ain't from south texas: You pronounce it "bex-ar". The actual pronunciation is "be-Har". "Bear" is also acceptable and nobody will look at you funny. This brought to you by watching an AI-narrated (ugh) video talking about San Antonio weirdness.
