ffffff... the app quit working with 10 min left in the pilot. Furious.

Pluribus is up! For some reason thought it debuted tomorrow.

Sad to report that this is not a joke

Cool cool cool

Thread Here for a good time, not a long time

Good morning, let's have a call today or tomorrow to discuss next week's court appearance?

Put a garam masala rub on a pork shoulder for the first time; just took it off the smoker and based on smell alone we might have a winner.

Toddler's class has the plague. Better pull out the beach towels and a bucket.

Tiktok thread. Propaganda facades:

We got a problem. Was unloading the dishwasher, set aside a couple components to Kid 3's fav water bottle. Heard a little *plunk*, turned around and the straw insert was gone. Pretty sure it's under the fridge. Really don't want to pull the fridge out but we'll see if he notices in the morning.

Ep3 review, respectfully: Emma Thompson, hit me with a shovel.

Mrs, who to her credit is very offline and doesn't keep up with the news in general, just said: have you heard about this AI stuff? Seems bad. Some people think it could go skynet?!? sweetsummerchild.gif

Big moon out there tonight. Take a look if you haven't already.

Left the kids unsupervised in the living room for 15 min while I put away some laundry. Came back to find them somehow watching Godzilla vs Kong (the TV was off when I left and to my knowledge they don't know how to operate remotes) The kids are gonna be ok.

First time making this chicken sausage stew and it's a banger. Permanently added to he soup szn rotation

Love starting an email with "Good morning, " at 1:45pm

Good lord, local nice guy councilman incumbent from my neighborhood who ran on a "I'm an incumbent and a nice guy" non-partisan platform but aligned himself with a couple idiots is getting SMOKED. We'll see what it looks like in the morning but if this remotely holds it's really eye opening.

Talked to a buddy of mine today, he leans right. NYC came up. He said "I don't like this guy big picture but I gotta say I'm all for *communism* in small doses. You wanna hike the tax rate a touch for the wealthy in a city and make a utopia? Wonderful!" He's so close you guys...

The guy who said "but what if we make things...stay with me now...better???" won Crazy times.

ugh it's really a relief seeing these results come in. Been worried for a bit that my perception of the state of everything might be terribly skewed. Good to see that dissatisfaction is widespread.

Late but still got me 💀

Mrs: remember, I signed you up to host basketball for Music Night on Fri. Starts at 3:30. You have two Betas who will be helping. You're the only dad. Me: .... I know what many of those words mean but when you put them together in those combinations....

We have one (1) phone charger that is exponentially faster than the rest and I swear my wife's main purpose in life is to hide it from me in a new spot each day.

Talking with FIL today, he said "local councilman X told me that CA and NY Dems are pumping money into our city elections as a test case for 2026" Had to tell him: idk, seems like a dude who knows he's about to get smoked coming up with preemptive excuses bc people are mad?

It's not just the number of delinquencies that are troubling. The *amount* of car debt that I come across in consults is absolutely staggering.

Standard time = puzzle szn

Did the pizza pickup move. Elite.

From the folks who brought you "they think that they're hardcore? We're so much more hardcore than they are"

It me

Wearing a longjohn shirt under my shirt instead of a jacket over my shirt. It's called fashion; look it up.

Overheard Mrs: Kid 1, what did we say last night about "cringe"? Kid 1: saying "cringe" is cringe Mrs: that's right

Pretty sure this will be the last fall/winter for my fav hoodie. Getting translucent in spots. It's so old it has a slit in the front pocket so my wired headphones could connect to my iPod.

This leftover candy is a PROBLEM

Kid 3 is demanding a 3rd bowl of Froot Loops.

Whole turkey, mashed, green bean casserole, cranberries, carrot cake, gravy, Hawaiian rolls. The omission of deviled eggs as a choice is heresy.

Peter Falk, the grandpa from The Princess Bride?

Took me a minute but I'm digging this Emma Thompson show

Ok BIL, we're at family dinner and your CFB team has a losing record and fired its coach and I really don't wanna hear your hot taeks about my rooting interests. Not today.

Looks like the bot fell asleep last night and just woke up

I've hated our guest bathroom since we moved in 4 yrs ago but def not doing a remodel. Gonna see if I can spruce it up in one day, spending less than 1 nice meal out.

Absolute gift of a drop

Defense is absolute ass right now

The least catch-looking catch I've seen in a while

I'm biased but these Citadel jerseys are the ugliest things I've ever seen

Got a feeling that our 3-4yo tball game is gonna involve some whining. Justifiable whining.

Betrayal

Not tired but sticking to my rule of physically being in the bed before midnight bc it works. Suggestion is 10, rule is midnight.

Let's do it

Cleaning up after everybody left, swept up what looked like a weird cheerio. It's a child's tooth. There were 5 young kids here of tooth-losing age. Nobody mentioned anybody losing a tooth. Somebody's gonna be disappointed tomorrow morning.

Carolina's drop shadow numbers are so good. rip uniwatch, never would have known that term without you
