It is and ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh now I get it!

That's funny, we recently got a new vacuum and I swear I couldn't identify half of the attachments. One was U-shaped and for the life of me I couldn't imagine a scenario where I'd need that. I may not have a growth mindset in this space.

And of course:
✅ do not eat

My new pillow came with a page of instructions:
✅ air it out for 48 hours
✅ wash the outer cover
✅ put it in dryer on low
✅ add extra fill as needed

I'm so old I remember when a pillow's instructions were:
✅ put on bed

Fair point, it's hard to believe Expedition 33 emerged from the cesspool that is 2025.

It felt like I was watching a poorly written villain in a low-budget film. I'm having trouble accepting that such cartoonishly evil people exist.

Hmmm, add Patty and Selma from The Simpsons and you've got quite an array of sexy voices there. Janice from Friends would complete the set.

Murphy the Golden Retriever uses his toy whale as a chin pillow.

Relatable, Murphy. I'm tired too.

I've been asking myself what the tipping point will be, whose arrest/imprisonment will finally make us realize this is real and won't stop on its own. Feels like we're going to find out pretty soon.

Just consider your first 20+ posts to be a way to introduce yourself and you can expect very little engagement. Then start replying on threads and following people and you should see an increase. It's always frustrating at first.

Was really something watching the Mariners tonight, quietly and confidently executing and just plain showing up. In other words, stuff we haven't really seen much in October for three years.

A phenomenon I'm witnessing firsthand in Big Tech: small groups of cherry-picked "rock stars" are death-marching to release moonshot AI projects/features which, if successful, will put many of their colleagues out of work.

A rising tide lifts all boats? Not in Big Tech right now. Maybe never again.

Really impressive win (well, through the first 8), Ms just quietly executed with confidence. Phillies are my #1 team so you can understand why I'm jealous.

Don't suppose you could support the Yankees for a couple hours?

Nothing will happen. Nothing ever does.

"Miller CAUGHT saying the quiet part out loud!"
"Trump has DISASTER presser!"
"Bondi IMPLODES at oversight hearing!"

So tired of these bait-y headlines. When are y'all gonna realize these people are evil w/ NO shame, that these things you're framing as some sort of victory aren't victories at all?

I see they're exempt from Hegseth's standards.

I would say a general strike but it appears the collective "we" just can't summon the courage and/or coordination.

It's usually passive-aggressive too, a thinly veiled way of saying, "If your lazy ass had actually READ my last mail..."

The utter contempt and disrespect she showed was appalling. This whole regime makes me want to vomit.

She is so vile I can't even put it into words. I'd call her behavior "childish" but that's an insult to children because she knows better. If it were up to me I'd throw her right into a cell for contempt.

Bondi, Noem, MTG, Boebert, Mace, Blackburn, Leavitt, Loomer... I think we can safely say men no longer have a monopoly on the "piece of shit" domain.

Amazing. The "no dogs on the bed" rule is henceforth permanently suspended for Eeyore.

YouTube video by CBS News Snow White comforts boy with autism who had "meltdown" in Disney World

Yeah, this is 6 years old but it just showed up randomly in my YouTube feed and hit me hard (in a good way). Just the thing I needed when everything else just feels so overwhelmingly awful.

The "speaking" is not enough. If we collectively can't find the courage to organize a general strike then we might as well collectively throw in the towel.

Or "Perpetual".

For me the P could just as easily be "Present".

A big concern I've had with AI is what happens when the snake starts eating its own tail, i.e. when models start consuming their own hallucinated content and the nonsense quickly compounds.

We've witnessed this phenomenon before and it's called Fox News.

Also true.

Rob Thompson can't be back next season. It's not just his horrible decision-making; the fact that the Phillies have been schizophrenic for three straight seasons is a reflection of the coach. Insanity would be trying this formula all over again and I sure as hell wouldn't bother with it.
