What’s the matter with you? What’s the matter with you, shipmate?

I can’t stop laughing about this. 😂

The problem with training AI on this “corpus of human knowledge” or that is merely Biblical. You know? What books get in, which are apocryphal, what’s heretical. Men deciding what you believe again.

Did you ever see any parson a wearing mourning for the devil?

This thread should get a comedy award. There’s so much material! The jokes are unending!

Are we not done with gingham? …Is there anything more we can say with gingham? Has it not run its course? What is left? What is there remaining to be found. Show me a secret revealed by gingham. It’s so exhausted it’s not even ironic. It’s not even good enough for cottage core.

Here’s an idea: if you’re spending $10 on eggs anyway, splurge for the ones laid by happy chickens. Or do without. Don’t pay $10 for chicken misery.

Girls please stop wearing Harley Davidson shirts if you don’t listen to his music

Ive said it before but Ill say it again

Gardening is a lot of fun and growing things is nice but also you learn a valuable lesson which is:

@jonkimball.bsky.social SO excited you brought the Zizian topic to EPM and was even more excited to get the news that Ziz is arrested from one of my favorite podcasts! You know she faked her own death and skipped town last time, right? It’s a worthy rabbit hole.

I also liked his pants and his jacket!

Jitterbug Perfume. 👍🏼

On a brighter note, was remembering Bioshock fondly today—remember the tape recorders? Magical game.

Thank you for reading that (so I didn’t have to).

and WTF. 👍🏼

Boring.

Listen, I know what you’re going to say, but I don’t know if I can justify the expense of an XBox console upgrade at this age. I just… it’s crazy.

Not trying to be a jerk but aren’t all mainstream beers owned by, like, five mega-conglomerates? I’d find a local craft beer, everything else is just too confusing.

my cat and i both talked about it and no we don’t think i’m crazy.

Important cat business. You wouldn’t understand. Photo from my collection, 1972.

I am not motivated and not sleeping well. After beating myself up about it for a couple days (as one does), I decided that it's mostly seasonal: that, like a garden, I have unexpected frosts and shady parts. But, you know, one needs to work, so up now, come on, pip pip.

Cats are capable of freakishly silent stealth. Why the fuck can I hear them licking themselves from 10 yards away
