Anyone who has ever used a printer knows why self driving cars are a bad idea.

It’s cookie time again and every year I find myself with limited Christmas shaped. Winter buffalo on the table this year.

Pantone just updated their Color Of The Year

Senate News: Republicans are trying to sneak a provision into their latest government funding bill that would make it easier to sell off public lands and national parks, and may have the votes to do it. If you care about protecting your public lands, now’s the time to make it known.

Learning they can’t make Fetch happen.

Loved “Gingerbread Land” on Food Network, but it didn’t need to be an elimination show. I’m desperate to see the gingerbread towns that were never completed.

I don’t want autonomous driving, can we make more manual cars?

I understand wanting to restrict social media for children, but have we considered restricting it for elected officials?

I’ve yet to see a single recession panic article. Only that layoffs are at 2020 levels, seasonal hiring is at 2009 levels and foreclosures are up 20%.

I’d love to see a poll for how many Americans have personally received a death threat via internet, phone/text, or in person because I bet it would be wild.

America should switch from the Bald Eagle to the Raccoon.

Sincere question, why would anyone spend time developing or using AI instead of learning skills themselves? If you had an answer other than AI is a waste of time. Now think about if there is a power outage.

It kind of seems like the government needs an HR department

I think we need less data, not more. Delete anything over 5 years you haven’t explicitly decided to keep.

Sometimes I read my credit card as “Outstanding!!! Balance” and thank you bank, I am amazing.

Happy Thanksgiving! I very much am enjoying the patterns on these decaying leaves.

Happy Chompsgiving!

I find it very frustrating when strangers are annoyed that I’m not performing femininity to their standards. I used an exclamation point, what more do you want from me?!?

Residential contractors get to be unprofessional because there are no repeat customers.

I’m actually shocked at how many comments want random behaviors they don’t like to be “against the law.” How about you just learn to deal and we keep illegality to things that actually matter?

Is there a worse chore than changing the bulbs in headlights?

If you use GMail, AI (Gemini) was turned on yesterday by default and now scans all of your content for machine learning. To turn off, go to Settings>General and scroll down. Uncheck the box for "Smart features." There's other "Smart" add-ons as well, but that's the one that reads your content.

If releasing the Epstein files was near unanimous should we try impeachment next?

www.fastcompany.com/91444607/wor... What do you think they consider politics? Is it politics when my coworkers ask if Portland is burning, outing themselves as exclusive Fox News viewers? Is politics discussing tariffs and how bad the economic policy is? Ignoring it isn’t working in my workplace.

I attempted to read Abundance. After 2 chapters I couldn’t take the authors continually disproving their own thesis. Should have been a high school essay called it “I Irrationally Hate California Zoning.” C- at best. D- for the pronunciation of “housing” in the audio book.

He’s interviewing places to flee, right?

Finishing up some wild clay pottery for the Christmas bonfire. Pretty excited about this raccoon 🦝

I miss when most businesses were interested in making a quality product for their customers.

If I was a billionaire I would fund all my friends artistic and scientific pursuits and build public pools, decisions that would lead me to not being a billionaire. Just fyi to any billionaires that might follow me.

UPS and FedEx's fleets of MD-11 planes are grounded, which can each carry thousands of packages. Logistics experts say some cargo could shift to passenger planes, trains and trucks. n.pr/3WOO6Ml

My take on today’s tariff arguments at the Supreme Court. Short version: LOL slate.com/news-and-pol...

Did corporations make up the tainted treats myth to stop popcorn balls? I miss those.

Honestly, I love all the EST people complaining about having to stay up late. Maybe you’ll remember that next time you think about scheduling meetings with your PST colleagues at 5am.

SNAP food benefits have never stopped during a government shutdown. The only difference this time is the admin's refusal to use USDA contingency funds that kept the program running in every past shutdown.

I truly hope that the eventual whiplash from the SNAP fiasco is UBI.

I’ve seen the internet men are provided and it’s worse than I feared.

This makes sense coming from the guy whose son monitors his porn consumption

If Virginia Giuffre’s memoir was enough to remove a royal title then think of what the Epstein files will do.

I really don’t understand why anyone would willingly use a chatbot.

R: “stop calling us n*zis its in bad faith” R leaked text chain: “I’m a n*zi and proud of it”

So like…can they remove the house speaker by petition?…because that seems viable rn

I had to pay $27 tariff for a RETURNED product that I made in America

Is there still time for the Portland Fire to rename themselves the Portland Frogs? #WNBA

My new favorite website to send people who ask me about Portland isportlandburning.com

So this fed admin is going with “investigate the police” huh? I truly did not see that one coming. What are all the thin blue line people going to think?

The government is in full shutdown and the Republicans are refusing to call the House back into session. Want to know why? Because we have secured the final vote on releasing the Epstein Files and they don’t want it out. Call GOP and tell them to swear in @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social.

For just one day can media frame everything opposite of how the do now? Like “Republicans ruin USA, dems say” or “We spoke with 1000 citizens who want Trump impeached” or “Polls say majority of Americans dislike ICE”

I feel a weird connection to the generals. I too have been in a work meeting where people were called fat, ugly and openly asking for women to quit.
