I used to live in a few setups like this in my 20s, though with no cameras. The camera on the fridge is definitely the most depressing part of this.

A Little Princess
The Truman Show
Gattaca
Romeo and Juliet (both '68 and '96)
Pirates of Silicon Valley (which I remember being a banger)

Pepperoni pizza rolls, dipped in ranch.

When I was a kid, my mom once bought snack bags of Combos. We didn't care for them, but trick or treaters were excited for them!

Twizzlers taste/feel like plastic to me.

Like, on paper, he had potential to be successful in a traditional way- high engineering aptitude, leadership skills. Instead he said fuck all that and focused on art instead.

I'm amused that George Herms' chronology includes PTA president.

I didn't have problems with cornbread when I tried it. I read a "will it waffle?" cookbook awhile ago and the worst looking recipe in there was steak

Eh it was fun to try 🤷‍♀️ Anything else I should try in there?

Waffling experiments: cornbread works. Cookie dough does not.

There aren't many studies on language deprived people from what I know of, but I wouldn't be surprised if less language=less connections in the frontal lobe

"[The monkeys] remained apathetic, responding only to the sensations of the moment, or varying their listlessness with restless wanderings to and fro. While not actually deprived of intelligence, they had lost, to all appearance, the faculty of attentive and intelligent observation."

This quote is shortened but I mention this because I read about David Ferrier removing the frontal lobes of monkeys in 1876 and noticing strikingly similar behavior.

Abbe Sicard on language-deprived deaf people: "They are nonentities in society, not true beings but mechanisms, living statues, whose senses must be awakened and honed. They are forced to rely completely on physical movement to express themselves, and they lack even the instincts of an animal."

A counter is seen, like a "x days since last injury" type of sign. The text reads, "It has been 0 days since last hearing people nonsense" with 0 in a digital counter box.

So many of the comments on The Pitt subreddit are like: "Why couldn't the deaf lady just write back and forth?!"

We had a hall of fame showing famous people who'd graduated from there and it was funny because it was mostly famous locals (including a former mayor)... then there was Elvira.

Who's the most famous alum of your high school?

Elvira.

Found some Jarritos Mandarin zero. It's still good in a float with vanilla ice cream.

Trial of Claudine de Culam - Wikipedia

Of all the Wikipedia pages to make a drawing for... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trial_o...

Ruthie glares at the camera from the top of the condo. Sookie on the platform is just visible behind her. There's also a pole attached to a higher platform and the leap from Sookie's platform to the porch in front of the condo entrance would be a difficult one.

Also, I would like to point out that Ruthie's shenanigans are effectively trapping Sookie there. Neither cat likes the higher platform and it's too difficult to jump down to the condo porch.

Sookie (brown cat) makes herself comfortable on a cat tree platform while Ruthie (white cat) sits on top of the condo next to her and glares at the spot she wants.

"why is my sister sitting in *my* spot"

Mabel Hubbard also went deaf at age five and grew up oral. I remember getting the impression she had some internalized audism.

Even funnier that Elon's brother got to go and he didn't.

So many frozen juice concentrates are gone now. I remember seeing a full wall of them in the freezer section when I was a kid, half a wall in my mid-20s and maybe one sad row when I looked recently :( Old Orchard had a really good blend I remember liking.

heads up for anyone who has already blocked Neil Gaiman.

if you previously followed Neil before finding out he had assaulted multiple women, Bluesky might still have you set as following him.

you can either fix that manually since he has reactivated or with this tool:

Valid!! It also has some fascinating worldbuilding in there but it didn't hold my interest as long this time around.

It started out interesting like I remembered, then there was a stretch of boring episodes that didn't seem as plot-relevant. Weird for such a short anime.

Tried rewatching 2003 FMA and Wolf's Rain recently. 03 held up, Wolf's Rain... did not.

I definitely want to try shredded carrots dressed in Thousand Island on roast beef and cheddar now.
