(I am actually not 100% sure about the 90s Ranger the more I think about it.)

Me: So I hear you're going to buy [mechanic]'s truck? Dad: Yeah. It has these special windows. Me: Oh? Dad: Yeah, if you want them to go down, there's a crank, and-- Me: Oh my god, are you buying it for a fiver? Even the Ranger had power windows.

Right? I had a party and all the men there were talking like that and I was like cool none of you are ever coming back to my house again.

My method of logically explaining to myself why I'll probably like a food my initial reaction to is "ehhhh" remains undefeated but I am so full of coconut chickpea and turmeric curry now that I am going to explode

Seems apropos for the week.

Three-panel meme showing a television host beside photos labeled Brock Turner and Brett Kavanaugh.
Text reads: “THE WOMAN BROCK TURNER RAPED REPORTED IT-IMMEDIATELY, AND GUESS THAT WASN'T FAIR BECAUSE IT WOULD RUIN HIS FUTURE?”
“CHRISTINE BLASEY FORD REPORTED KAVANAUGH'S ALLEGED ASSAULT 36
YEARS LATER AND SOMEHOW SHE'S ALSO RUINING HIS FUTURE."

"HOW MUCH FUTURE DO RICH, WHITE GUYS GET TO HAVE?"

I don't inherently have a problem with live streaming executions, but this was a fucking choice, and the point about the prediction markets is correct and, again, makes me want to vomit

Basically AI allows software engineers to produce shitty code *faster* and in higher volumes which increases the amount time spent on code reviews and revisions nullifying the productivity gained from producing the code in the first place.

Jesus fuck, I had to Google the "really dangerous" Bush quote Billie cited ("either you are with us or you are with the terrorists") and I lived through it but I still can't wrap my brain around it being from 9/20/2001. Things went to hell so fast.

Truly, because I cannot imagine being a whole adult or even a whole teenager and thinking everyone who does bad things feels bad about it.

Just read a post saying fiction about bad people has to show them feeling bad for being bad or else it's bad writing and wow did I hit that block button fast.

I had dark mode on because I was trying to see if there was a pattern for how sites handle link hover states (lighter or darker background? does the text color change?) but now I have a headache so it's back to light mode my beloved.

I will admit I don't care for Blink 182 (just not my taste!) but it is truly something to hear a stadium full of people sing to this guy in appreciation of the music he created and the joy he brought to their lives. Impacting so many other humans positively like this has to feel amazing

I can't wait to see what the hell this fic is about if I ever start to write it. My vision more or less ends with her sitting down at Louis and Lestat's table.

Spent 20 minutes trying to figure out how Gabriella would think of/refer to the women -- or, well, one of them; I think collectively "ladies" would be fine -- working at the Azalea and ended up with neither an answer nor time to write

(She has to get several days of steroid pills before she gets any shots or else we rack up a nice little vet bill dealing with her multiple days of fever and dehydration and listless after the shots.)

The pet store had the discontinued pill pocket flavor Callie likes, so I bought two bags... and then ordered a cheap vacuum sealer to see if I can make them last longer because as soon as you open the bag, you've got like a month before they get dry. 😩

I was one room away from them. Then I found one while vacuuming on my hands and knees and tried Find My again. It could not connect even though I had one in my hand and the other was 6 inches away. 🙃

This is your occasional reminder that generative "AI" in particular could have been developed on public domain materials and/or licensed and compensated works but the major players intentionally, methodically and systemically chose to steal labor from working creative folks instead

Is the Find My app actually capable of connecting to Air Pods and playing a sound or does it just exist as a cosmic joke?
