The new Dune movies could be remarkably relevant if they just brought in the Orange Catholic Bible and the Butlerian Jihad. You know, the reason Mentats exist at all. Assuming not until proven otherwise, because movies aren't about things anymore.

In the vein of every Star Trek having forgotten the existence of fuses and circuit breakers, I appreciate Cyberpunk 2077 deciding that radial ply tires are forgotten technology. Every car stops and turns like it's 1950. Hell yes.

Decades of research concluding that there is a worse utensil than the soup ladle for blasting you with dishwater every time you wash it: the professional ice cream scoop, the kind with antifreeze in the handle. Great for scooping but I put it under the tap like I'm afraid it might explode.

Bought a walnut rolling pin from @cengaldre.com on a whim like a month ago, finally saw use yesterday. Good enough in use that I'm going to toss out my old one. Dough doesn't catch when rolling, nice heft, good shape. Also very pretty. Would recommend to anyone.

As someone who has previously experienced cognitive surrender to the point of an actual mental breakdown, ... ... oh we are fucked. That took years to come back from and decades to accept what had happened. All after the stimulus was removed. AI won't just stop existing so these people can heal.

Permanent headspace where I freak the fuck out about anything less than total perfection or total failure. A situation that's bad but salvageable? A mess, can't think, shit shit shit shit Situation's fully off the deep end? Both funny and mentally stimulating.

Today's employment tip is that HR managers do not like being reminded that they might not be smarter than the person they are interviewing. Therefore, do not use words like "ephemera" in your resume, or anything else they may need to look up.
