I like "cordial loathing", I might have to keep that one. Filling another slot on the "benign neglect" spectrum

if you aren't, you really need to be aware of Meet The Feebles, an early film by Peter Jackson (yes, that one) that has muppet-y characters trying to put on their variety show while also murdering each other, shooting heroin, and having messy affairs

I'm growing concerned at how many times I point at @rahaeli.bsky.social but she's in the Venn diagram of all those diagnoses & also extremely meticulous about both learning about & fighting the existing healthcare system

My brain is a highly-tuned relevance engine and she keeps showing up

It didn't always end up like that... bell peppers come from the same root plant, just with all the heat bred out of them, and we still eat those too. I'd almost argue the mustard-y brassicas had it worse

They could probably be considered a professional competitor, but beyond that I really hate LifeTouch as a parent/consumer. They're like the Hewlett Packard of school photos.
