Or singing and dancing around a giant clock ...

I barely recognized him here. He's a lot better looking when not on the cover of People and in an amusingly fake Regency costume.

A seagull standing proudly on top of a statue many other seagulls have obviously also stood upon.

I'm the king of the castle!

Obviously the cow can live on the grass in your small backyard, and then you don't have to mow! Win, Win! /s

And they will happily take the partial match as truth.

And deeply insecure.

Those brilliant years when FK, XF, B5, TNG and some many other weird shows were still available over the air ...

If you see this, quote with a vampire who isn't Dracula.

We are apparently just supposed to manifest money while they shit on or downplay the effort we actually expend to work and make money.

I seeded a whole planter box full of basil back in May because I love basil and it had previously never failed for me. It is almost November and those basil plants are 4 inches tall. They sprouted but never grew.

My blueberry bushes never even bloomed this year, my strawberries molded while green due to the weather, and my bell peppers refused to bloom until the week before frost.

And interest rates have been bonkers all over the place over the past 15 years. With our current house (our 3rd) we started with a 30 year, refinanced to a 15 year, and will have it paid off about 13 years in the end.

I both miss my kid and also this.

I do that all the time. What I start cooking is not what I finish cooking.

It Kamala had said "within a year he'll pave over the Rose Garden and be bulldozing the east wing of the White House" the media would have mocked her

A young Border Collie and older Saint Bernard waiting for a walk on a rug.

I don't know why it's a year onwards, but I've really been forgetting she's gone this fall. Both these guys are gone (the saint is long ago gone) and I've been missing both

The biggest problem is where AI models have been subtly introduced. Your email app suggests auto complete suggestions. The IDE you're required to use as a developer now using AI instead of defined code generators to bootstrap your project.

Every time I see someone say "Well, maybe it could replace junior coders", I'm like, where do you think experienced coders COME FROM???

I think I was too polite…

My evening: I was doing yoga on the carpet, face planted onto the carpet and realized it still smells like Miss Charlotte. Then I realized it will probably never not smell like her and I probably have to tear it out and saw a fucking carpet beetle larva and drown it in the toilet.

I hate carpet.

Do you have Clorox (or generic form of) wipes? You can use them to wipe latex paint off places it's not supposed to be for days.

A large pantry with many different types of items.

Cleaned and organized my pantry tonight. It is a confusing mess of stuff because it is about the only useful storage in this kitchen.

AI is utterly destroying a generation of beginning developers who are struggling to gain the knowledge and experience to be more.

Damn. I finally failed my self-imposed challenge. It's my 6th cake day and I am only at 596k karma on Reddit. Although I recently discovered that because all but 117 karma are comment credit versus post credit I really made my challenge harder.

Right I'm thinking that is more than enough to brew a pretty decent cup. I have an areopress and a grinder and I use 10g of whole beans. Which is not quite a handful.

I do not know this for a fact, but I am guessing that the Central and South American bishops conferences - where Opus Dei is like doing indentured servitude and ruining lives - are having way different conversations about them than the US conference where their big money flows to right-wing coffers

I will also say as the mom of a 19yo in a fairly liberal area that there are a depressing number of otherwise liberal adults who believe that the "internet" should protect their kids so they don't have to deal with it.

A green Ikea plush alien wearing a striped sweater.

Apparently this is a TikTok thing, but also a Christmas present for my kid. An Ikea alien plushie wearing a knit sweater I made.

So this is the list of countries that RFK Jr. is now plotting how to send plague blankets to.

My life nowadays is staring at the walls, thinking wow that is a major new wall crack and then deciding I don't really give a shit.
