Tilly Norwood has already been cast on a Harold Team.

My toxic trait is that I believe I am always one great fall jacket away from perfection.

Well the rest of the polycule found the stat sheet I was making about them. But the only ones who were pissed off had low WAR anyway

FEMA Has Canceled Its Four-Year Strategic Plan Ahead of Hurricane Season Multiple FEMA employees tell WIRED that they did not know of another time when a strategic plan was rescinded without another in place.

NEW: Less than two weeks before the start of hurricane season, the head of FEMA cancelled the agency’s four-year strategic plan. A new plan has yet to be put into place.

read @mollytaft.com and @telliotter.bsky.social:

Not too late for him to be Head of Corporate Oversight or something.

I bet they just maintain two different goodie closets at this point for employee giveaways: one for Max, one for HBO Max.

Guess a 747 is less than the $50 donation limit.

Clunky motion, extra fingers, poorly rendered background figures, wonky letters/words will all be things people will work hard to artificially create (or intentionally seed an AI) to signal this era.

10-15 years from now, "mid 20's bad AI" will be its own aesthetic people will try to recreate.

I am astounded at the number of shows I've been to where the merch table is basically unmanned for the entire night.

Some improv theater's weekly email: "New Improviser Pope! Come shake off your white smoke with us this Fridayand Holy See just what laughs we have! Use promo code CONCLAVE for 10% off shows!" etc.

New Chicago pope, I now know what the next 6 months of sketches will look like.

Charlize Theron has an absolutely incredible run so far, Oscar bait, mainstream, small budget stuff, just incredible.

Huge line to watch the madness that is Wild at Heart at the @musicboxtheatre.bsky.social last night.

Fellow board game enthusiasts: had anyone ever Kickstartered a game that didn't get delayed because of Chinese new year?

So just so I'm clear, @netflix.com raised their prices, added ads, put some things behind a higher tier, AND their website crashes and lags now. The future is truly incredible.

My favorite part of every Uber/Lyft ride is when we're stopped at a red light and the driver moves/zooms in & out of the map to judge the route.

I certainly didn't anticipate every comedy creator doing a "Folgers Brother/Sister commercial" video this year.

Multiple ads have been advising me to go ghost mode, which at this time of year can only mean I will be visited by 3 spirits showing me the error of my ways (presumably fitness past, present, and yet to bench)

Why yes, I am very interested in the 10 hottest AI generated gifts, which appears to include some sort of projector the size of a walnut and a mouse with way to many buttons.

What's incredible about pool is that if you are within 20 feet of any pool table, you will immediately in the way of someone trying to take a shot.

It's not enough to be right, you also have to be cool, or else you're just annoying

Peaceful Solutions On respectable and profitable human-suffering engines, the murder of a CEO, propriety in a land where life has been cheapened, and some good news for those who seek peaceful solutions.
