Watching the new Mortal Kombat II. So far: 1. Kitana & Jade girlfriends? 2. The movie-within-a-movie introducing Johnny Cage is so on-point 😂

Genuinely wild that they have a suspect, this many decades later. I remember the panic the poisonings caused. California scientist emerges as possible Tylenol murders suspect www.sfgate.com/bayarea/arti...

A man found dead in a church may have unlocked the key to one of America’s most famous unsolved crimes.

Do not carry a cold beverage in their presence. Politely decline any drinks or sweetmeats they may offer. Keep a plain iron nail in your left trouser pocket and a sachet or paper twist of coarse salt in your right shoe. Enter and leave your chair moving clockwise. Follow up with a thank-you note.

First World Problems: I've said that a benefit of WFH is that I use less vacation time for low-energy/bad-brain days because I can usually still walk to my desk and do stuff. But now it looks like I have three weeks of leave to use or lose at the end of this year. 😅

Two different people I had meetings with today, in different departments, asked to reschedule because they're sick. Early flu season? Allergies? Who knows. (Pollen levels have been high here for weeks)

Ah. The discussion of women's experiences in the tech field reminds me of my last job in San Diego, which was a contract gig for an ecommerce platform. Folks were generally nice, but the product photos in the training/dev environment were all swimsuit model photos (cont.)

I feel a little disgusted that Humble Bundle is offering a "Claude and Anthropic Certification Bundle," and more disgusted that it's ostensibly in service of Girls Who Code. (To be clear: worthwhile org! Whose efforts I see as antithetical to what the bundle offers.)

On the one hand, my accommodation request to keep working from home was approved. On the other hand, the out-of-town hospital I'm being referred to for spinal shit refuses to offer televisit for the initial consult, or any transportation assistance, so who knows when they'll see my non-driver ass.

Anyway. Women authors writing male leads that a teen girl who didn't know she was a trans boy could safely long to be, there's a tangle of gender for you. And now I'm all nostalgic for the bookstore and the books of my youth.
