Today was a good lunch and long chat with a friend, then walking about 2 miles after along local trails. Caught sight of this Redbud really getting into the season! 🍁

A Redbud plant next to a street. The leaves at the end are a deep red, slowly turning to orange, yellow and green as it gets closer to the main plant.

I feel only slightly attacked that they're calling this key a RELIC. How dare?! #KeycapKeycap! "Relic"? I think they meant to say "Power User Key" clearly. (Yeah I still use CTRL + INS and SHIFT + INS sometimes, what of it?!) youtube.com/shorts/Y7W01... #Twitch #Gaming #IncrementalGame #Keycaps

I have ducked out of work a tiny bit early, walked down to a spot for happy hour and am happily having a sangria and re-reading the first book in a series, as a new book just came out. I haven’t headed out after work in ages. Today demanded it. (RIP coffee carafe)

Glass of white wine based sangria with chopped strawberries floating in it. On a bar top with the restaurant and kitchen blurred in the background.

Things have gotten so rough in Manhattan that even the BUSES are squaring up. #CONTROLResonant Not that I haven't wanted to fight a city bus before though, so this is pretty therapeutic! 😊 youtube.com/shorts/bCot7... #Twitch #Gaming #CONTROLGame #Bus

re: my earlier rant about sharing videos. I wanted to share this from Michelle Williams on IG because it’s amusing. www.instagram.com/reel/Dd_47Em... But I had to download it myself, and add captions—which is a whole rant unto itself—to be able to share it here. Siloed social media is no fun. 💖

My cheap/free ebook included this title in today's email ("paranormal romance" is one of my categories) and it was the second image. I went to amazon to see if all the books in the series had used these ai-generated yass-style covers and saw the page listing still had a mix of the old art and new.

Book cover for "Lattes and Spirits" by Alyn Troy in the Mystic Brews series.

Done in a colorful art style, a white woman with blue hair and a purple witch hat holds up a to-go coffee cup next to an adorable cat. In the background is a large haunted house style house against a full moon with ghosts, bats and a jack-o-lantern.

Alternate book cover for "Lattes and Spirits" by Alyn Troy in the Mystic Brews series.

Done in what looks like an ai-generated style, a white woman with blue hair and a purple witch hat holds up a coffee mug in what appears to be a cafe. On a table behind her sits a black cat. Seated at another table is a bedsheet-style ghost. While there appear to be words written on signs and a chalkboard around the shop, they are all illegible.

😑 Like my earlier thread about platforms sucking. I'm sure I'll see many similar comments here "that's why you gotta get off of Meta sites". Which, OK, they're not wrong. Except… Are you gonna follow your faves on their own sites, sub to their Patreons, buy their merch directly, go to their shows?

I'm now reading the article in which this news came out and uh… I'm really not sure he read it all, or that this is the hill he wants to die on. VBNMW tends to lean towards a certain type of online behavior. Especially celebrities who toe that line. www.rollingstone.com/music/music-...

Interviewer: Do you feel that people on the left should have voted for Kamala Harris?

Morello: I’m crystal clear that people’s conscience cannot allow them to do something that they fundamentally believe is wrong. I was the scheduling secretary for United States Senator Alan Cranston. I saw how the corporate Democrat sausage is made. It is worse than you think. And there is a reason, there is a righteous fury at the corporate controlled, money controlled electoral system we have that is absolutely legitimate, and people cannot choke down — I understand it — voting for a candidate that’s responsible for what happened in Gaza, and they just can’t do it, and I’m not gonna blame them for that.

Morello (continued): But I think that putting it on them is the most cowardly thing. Put it on the fucking Democratic Party. First of all, I don’t believe it’s their responsibility and they’re never gonna necessarily never do the right thing, but I think it’s all of our responsibility to co-create the world that we want and not point fingers at people that were just like, “Well, you know, my conscience didn’t allow me to do that, so it’s your fault.” I will not co-sign that.

Interviewer: Did you vote for Kamala?

Morello: I certainly did not.

Interviewer: You did not?

Morello: Did not. I couldn’t do it.

Interviewer: I didn’t realize that.

Morello: "V for Vendetta" — that one inch of who you are belongs to you, and they can’t have it. Now, I live in a state where it may not have moved the meter, but I just couldn’t do it. Couldn’t do it.

Interviewer: When’s the last time that you didn’t vote for the Democratic candidate?

Morello: Can’t remember the last time I *did*.

Interviewer: Wow, okay. I thought you were softening a little bit.

Morello: Can’t remember the last time I did.

What the entire F is this S? The victim's sister was preparing her victim-impact statement but decided to do this instead. We are so entirely cooked. It has the same weird scam elements of the recent GoFundMe where a man's daughter thought it would have more impact if she said she was a neighbor.

Ms. Wales was preparing her own victim-impact statement for two years, she told The New York Times last year, but believed that it was missing a critical element.

“I kept hearing what Chris would say,” she told The Times.

Every time I visit Union Station, they’ve removed more public free seating. It’s wild. You used to be able to chill in here. Sit down, wait to meet friends, enjoy a coffee. Now it’s only restaurants and cafes and food court with seating if you aren’t waiting on a train.

When I'm not even a sports gay, but I'm enough of one to know that isn't how "football fields" work. Worse, the offer in the email isn't even valid for *tonight*. It starts 10 days from now. It's disappointing because SO many local places are leaning all the way into this and it's gross.

An a.i. generated flyer from a local restaurant. Titled "Tonight's Game Plan. Order Online!" with a paper bag stenciled "Feed the Team" and a hand holding up a phone with an order confirmation screen.

The image is set against what is meant to be a U.S. football stadium and field, but the markings on the field don't make sense for U.S. football.

I knew it would be too chilly for outside, so gave the fitness center a try and got the treadmill I like. Shorter time with an incline, ouch. But will try to get outside later on too. More steps, yay. Now I really need coffee. 💖

I had not realized this movie had so many follow-ups before the 2004 comedy remake. The casting on those TV movies is ridic. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Ste...

A 1980 television sequel was titled Revenge of the Stepford Wives. In this film, instead of being androids, the wives have undergone a brainwashing procedure and then take pills that keep them hypnotized. In the end, the wives break free of their conditioning and a mob of them kills the mastermind behind the conspiracy.

In a 1987 television sequel/remake titled The Stepford Children, both the wives and the children of the male residents were replaced by drones. It ended with the members of the conspiracy being killed.

A 1996 version called The Stepford Husbands was made as a third television movie with the sexual roles reversed and the men in the town being brainwashed by a female clinic director into being perfect husbands.
