I will be deeply envious.

I appreciate highly specific t-shirts.

Today’s thrift store movie finds were a bit all over the place.

Dreamt I worked at Costco and they had an employee program where you suggest themed merch and sales. I wanted to see what it would look like if Daredevil’s Wilson Fisk was beloved. I was delighted when Costco produced tons of merch featuring a cheery-yet-menacing bald fat guy in a white suit.

This is always a Good Thing.

I can tell it’s a good day when the two lines of music always relentlessly repeating in my head are from a song I like.

Got my solitaire streak past a year and then I intentionally let it drop because it had long since turned into a need to keep the streak rather than enjoying the game. It was still surprisingly difficult to let it go. It made my brain twitch.

Teresa: I think I got a spider bite. Me: Don’t die, please. Teres: I feel ok. Me: Maybe you’ll get super powers! Teres: Cool! Wait, no. Then I’d have responsibility. I hear they go together. Me: Is it compulsory? Teres: Well, the guy that says it died, so I probably don’t have to listen.

William Silvia, convicted of the 2006 murder of his estranged wife, Patricia, is now set to be the 13th person put to death in Florida this year.

Railroad companies have started applying white and reflective paints to railroad tracks to reduce the amount of sunlight they absorb. The rails were never designed to operate under the increased temperature and duration of the climate crisis, and risk derailing unless the heat is reduced.

My personal health care future. Clinic. Testing lab. Doughnuts. Death. Repeat the first three, as needed.

I’m happy to see it, but Goodwill seems to have launched its Halloween section even earlier this year.

Just saw a woman looking through books at the thrift store and reorganizing them as she went. I felt a rush of kinship.

I may need a series of these. With an increasingly bewildered dog. Norris has a legal GoFundMe, a Patreon, and a shop (and a great Instagram feed). Here’s where to find all of it. linktr.ee/alexnorris

Alex Norris of the delightful blobby “Oh no” comics had spent a miserable few years fighting a company trying to steal their IP. Recently they offered comics based on 5-word descriptions, to fund the legal battle. I sent in “dancing sexy couple confused dog.” Just got this in the mail.

Wow. I see why they’re doing it, obviously, and hopefully it won’t screw over too many people, but to me, Marvel Comics is New York. It’s baked in.

My healthy eating plans were temporarily derailed this morning when I remembered we had rolls left over from a celebratory Texas Roadhouse dinner which could be used for bacon egg and cheese sammiches. But I also had an orange, so that balanced everything out, probably. That's just science.

As MANY people have said, opposition to how AI has been thrust upon us is *exactly* Luddite in nature. Not an objection to technology, but a protest against BAD tech that puts people out of jobs while delivering subpar products. Read a history book, please. Or ask ChatGPT to summarize it for you.

Well? What happens next?!?
