Not sure when my initials expanded beyond my name and became shorthand for Just Kidding, but here we are.

I liked this, realized that made it 68 likes, and unliked it just to make sure I didn’t mess up the joke! If it climbs above 67 again, it wasn’t me!

Not sure I’m gonna top this as a Timbers fan.

Watching a live Timbers game August 30th but seeing it on August 31st…on a bullet train to Kyoto…and Mt Fuji is in the background. #rctid

We’ve only been in Japan for 3 days and we’ve already missed at least 2 mass shootings?! Going back to ignoring the news for another week so I can enjoy vacation FFS.

I’ve never felt less patriotic than I do today. I always thought goodness would prevail but that was naΓ―ve. I am jealous of my dual-citizen friends who have options if this continues to get worse.

F**k AI. It’s the death of creativity and is only as reliable as its source. It’s the trend among C-suite folks, so expect this firing bloodbath to continue until they realize AI isn’t the solution to everything.

LOL. Prius on front of me had plates AGIT8R. If there’s any make of car that represents meek, slow drivers, it’s Priuses (Priusii?)! That’s like a Ford F350 having LIBTRD as plates.

Just bought South Korean skin care cream from the TikTok Shop so I’m expecting expedited processing on my GenZ application.

The Studio is the best show on TV at the moment. Artistic, cinematic AND funny. I truly hope this show gets renewed.

Now that’s a spicy popeaballa!!! A few days ago I seriously thought it was a name created by The Onion.

I don’t expect people to have Infosec-level knowledge but this just seems like a common sense practice even if I weren’t in I.T. Anyway, it keeps you in business! 😁

Absolutely astounded at the amount of unlocked laptops when people leave their seat at the ATL Delta Sky Club.

It annoys me when you see Pi Day decorations while we’re still celebrating Mario Day. Retailers, give each season their time in the sun! There’s room for everyone!

One can dream that in the future a MAGA hat will be treated in the same fashion as Cybertrucks have been recently.

Rip it off their head.
Punch a na*i in the face.
Spray paint the hat.

Whatever it takes.

Thank you, and please continue to do this! This is what we need on our feeds, although the need might necessitate you posting daily bird pics for 4 years.

I really hope Drake reconsiders his lawsuit against Kendrick for that Grammy-winning song. After all, the song is less than 18 years old.

Pre-Elon N*z1 salute, we owned 2 Teslas.

As of today that number is 0.

Our new cars are also electric but without openly fascist CEOs.

Fact checking isn’t political. If your party wants to remove fact checking, then you’re the dupe.
