On this International Women's Day, may all your fondest dreams and cleverest plans be realized.

I'm just happy it wasn't an American cookie store. #turducken

Who else saw a Magic 8 Ball in the set design at the end of memorial? I can't be the only terrible person.

Yeah, a Creme Egg is going to overpower a cookie. Should have put it in a cupcake instead. πŸ˜‡

old Soviet joke for our times:

Guy stops by the newsstand every day, scans the front page, doesn’t buy the paper. One day the vendor asks what he’s up to.

Guy says: β€œlooking for an obituary.”

Vendor says β€œthose are towards the back of the paper, comrade.”

Guy says: β€œnot the one I’m looking for.”

I guess the Oscars big James Bond production was planned before the news of the Amazon takeover of the franchise came out.

I see the crash coming on the Generative AI side. AI is so fantastic for organizing data and pulling out details. It's when you ask Generative AI to create something new that the worst hallucinations occur and you desperately need a human in the loop to review and edit the output.

The weekend you were set up at the market there was a guy kinda diagonal from you that had art that used postage stamps as the background? Any idea who that was? I keep thinking about one of his pieces but I forgot to get a card.

Either they went the right direction and he wife got to say, "wasn't it nice of that lady to point us in the right direction" or they will end up at Dupont Circle and he will still be insisting they are walking towards G St.

I tried to help lost tourist family in DC by giving them directions and the dad had the utter gall to look at his phone and say, "Well, I don't know ...). So I resorted to, "We are standing at I St. You said you want G St. You are heading north to K street." And then my Lyft pulled up so I left.

Halloween costume idea: Luisa from Encanto carrying Mjolnir.

#Webcomics Hey kids! Here's a fun game! They just dropped a list of All the artists that Midjourney admits to having scraped to train its A.I. engine. Are YOU on it? (We are) Do you have a good lawyer? (We do) (storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...)

I'm looking for recommendations of movie/book/comic that are "Night at the Museum but Horror". Relic is the only one that comes to mind but it is from the 90s. What have I missed?

This same work meeting started with the team lead Whamageddoning everyone so it's definitely a Friday and people are getting punchy.

Multitasking by cleaning the kitchen while listening on a work call. Thought of washing the sink load of dishes as "clearing the backlog" so now I'm disappointed in myself and think it is good I'm taking Christmas week off work.

I saw that same production (although certainly not the same actors) in 1983 and 2016.

Hello. We were mutuals on the murdered bird site and know each other through comics and message boards. I was one of the founders of Sequential Tart back in the day. By back in the day I mean over 20 years ago. Oh crap, that means I'm old. How did that happen?

I know @joanarkham.bsky.social needs to know this but I suspect many others will be interested. Pottery Barn Teen has glow-in-the-dark Hello Kitty Halloween bedsheets. www.pbteen.com/products/hel...

I got my last one at CVS cause I could do flu and covid at the same time. My doctor's office didn't have any open slots to do both.
