Ugh. Did not need the power supply on my desktop to die on me today.

Anybody got an example of a married woman who wears animal prints?

Isn’t one of their complaints that there’s a distinct lack of masculinity in men these days?

So you're saying they're not Jets all the way, from their first fumbled pass to their last fumbled play?

Two more episodes of S4 of Only Murders… down.

Made the comment that it is turning rather silly.

I would have thought Good N Plenty.

Rice pudding unlocked!

You know that meme of Kylo Ren yelling “MORE!” in Star Wars:The Last Jedi?

Imagine that was my wife wanting more raisins. The recipe calls for 1/4 cup. I think we ended up with 1 1/4 cups.

Not complaining. Just amused.

My parents sent me and my brother to this church camp in the late 70s. Hated every minute of it.

Watching Match Game on Buzzr and Ethel Merman is on it.

Wait... I've just been handed a note. That is actually George Zip. I regret the error.

Rodney?

It’s maddening when you get the “not enough info” screen then realize you forgot to take into account a neighbor who’s already been revealed. “Oh yeah, I guess they’re innocent too.”

Picked up the LOTR:Fellowship soundtrack this evening, as well as some sort of one-off “greatest hits” of Electric Light Orchestra that was only about half of the track listing from their actual “Greatest Hits Vol 1” CD. It had a couple of songs that I was missing, but couldn’t pass it up for $4.

Removed the price sticker only to find another one underneath it for $7. Assholes.

Fluke: Or, I Know Why the Winged Whale Sings by Christopher Moore.

Wasn’t particularly looking for it in my quest to replace my paperbacks with hardcovers, but found a first edition Fluke at the half-price books for $8.

Does it predate Ghostbusters II?

Aaaannnd, not as such. The dragonflies are self-balancing and appear to just get moved from bamboo to bamboo.

Still, props for using this physics experiment (counterbalance) as a game mechanic.

Okay. This looks interesting. Need to see if this is a dexterity game.

“Dateline: January 1st, 2026, 12:01am - Pyrotechnics from The Seahorse & The Hummingbird now in its second great year!”

It’s real simple, people. If you open a multi-pack of individually wrapped items, take the rest of them out of the pack, put them where you think they should go, and dispose of the box/wrapper.

“Somehow, Bond returned…”

If carrot all, you’ll think of one.

A partially obscured odometer showing x69961 miles. There’s a leading 1.

A partially washed-out image of an odometer that reads 169961 miles.

Happy Palindrome! See you in 110 miles! #palindrome

I can appreciate a good jab if it’s one I would have thought of.

“By paying us $$, you save $$$, making you $ that would have gone to people you obviously don’t care about. Win-win for us. Those people were gonna lose anyway.”

Any company that is for pushing AI without also advocating for UBI does not care about people.

Patient: "Doctor, I'm depressed. Can you help?"

Dr. AI: "Go see Pagliacci the clown."

P: "But he's been dead for over 100 years!"

D: "No, I don't believe he is."

P: "I'm pretty sure. It's 2025."

D: "Pagliacci is who you need to see."

Ordered my 30-year award this morning - a 24,000 mA power bank. Everything else offered were lesser versions of things I already had or weren’t relevant.

Also got to order a bonus company-branded item which is going to be outdated as soon as the merger goes through early next year.
