My love-hate relationship with Costco in two frames:

Jr and Eric, for all their stupidity, are a chip off the old block: 1. Pitch idea - Made in the USA gold-colored phones for $500 and a mobile plan for $47.45/mo 2. Use GenAI to build website and create images of said phone 3. Collect $60m in non-refundable deposits www.dailydot.com/viral-politi...

"Areal Flood Advisory" is a bad term for several reasons: 1. It literally just means "flood advisory in this general area". Why add the L? 2. When I see the notification and I'm not wearing my glasses in the morning, I misread "areal".

I saw the title and was like "WHAAAT THIS COULD BE AW- oh. It's about free climbing. Disregard."

I'd just like to report on the very mediocre weather we're having.

This calls for a celebration, or at least interpretive dancing. Eff that shit swamp.

I read about how frightened Elon Musk is, complaining about not being able to go to the grocery store. He should just have one built on his Breeding Compound in TX so he can pretend to be just like a normal person.

There are a lot of OEM-to-FBA companies in the area, based in China. I've been looking at leaving my current position, so I've been scoping the labor market. Most of these positions in Product Management (mid level management) for these companies cap the salary at $65k/yr.

Hello little (okay kinda big) house spider missing two legs, sitting there on the floor in my office. Yes, I caught it in a cup and took it outside.

I know it's not technically winter, but still, this is lame af.

Oh boy. Just what I always wanted.

Him: Wow. This Gerber machete is only $30 Me: We're buying it. Him: Do we really need a machete? Me: STOP ASKING QUESTIONS IF YOU KNOW WHAT'S GOOD FOR YOU

Well that's kinda cool, radiotrophic fungi. www.sciencealert.com/chernobyl-fu...

Last day Goodreads Choice Awards voting is today, if you'd like to vote but haven't yet. If you don't want to vote, I mean, hey, you do you, I believe in free will and all of that. If you're on the fence about voting, perhaps this picture of three cats napping in a cat tree will convince you:

Well, that was certainly sharp.

Today I got a coworker fired and I actually feel good about it because he was a lazy piece of shit that not only didn't do his job, but when he did he actually just made more work for me through his fuck ups.

Ohhhhh Matt, you don't want to know my opinions on this topic

You get a message from a former coworker, who works for a competitor, who historically only contacts you when he wants you to give him intel. Says he wants to have lunch. Is it: A. He wants sex (hahaha not from me) B. He he wants Intel C. He misses me and wants to keep in contact

The mountains have snow and they are caaaaaalling me

Holy Crazy Ginger, Batman.

The storm that hit Orange County was SUPER gay.

Board: You need to increase your prices, stop cutting your prices. Me: I agree. Here is what the pricing should be: up a minimum of 20% Salesidiot: WE NEED TO CUT PRICING OMGWTFBBQ

I will never forgive the fucksticks at WB for cancelling this show, and it had the most haunting and beautiful opening title music. youtu.be/dFs4yX4V7NQ

Great. I have to wait until May for the next Murderbot novel by @marthawells.com So now I immortalize my dismay in the most unlikely crossover meme ever. Also, for those of you who haven't seen it: Season 1 of the Murderbot Diaries TV show is amazing.

Okay so the last four episodes of The Witcher were cool, but had me going "uh I'm pretty sure this entire story is now completely off the map." Also, the rallying of soldiers to fight Nilfgaard really had me rolling my eyes, plus a plain ripoff of the "They have a cave troll" scene from LotR.

Wow, all of these totally-legitimate-and-not-scams companies are just DYING to throw money at me.

I went to Truth Social to see if Trump had posted about how Benevolent he is for funding SNAP benefits, but I had to scroll through these 6 ads before I finally got to a "Truth".

Yes, I'm sure it was an honor. "Oh look at what a hero I am".

He's not Henry Cavill, but Liam Hemsworth is shaping up to be a fine Geralt. Four episodes down, and they're great.

Salesman: "If we don't spent exorbitant sums of money on attending this event, our partners may think we're going out of business and drop us!" Me: "The good news is that we blow that money on the event, they won't have to think we're going out of business, because we WILL BE OUT OF BUSINESS."

I hope the rest of my fellow Californians are as enthusiastic!

Wiggle on the wall, little Mediterranean Gecko. Found you on my porch when I came home last night, but I didn't want to bother you. I know you're technically an invasive species, but you can't help it, nor can you help being a cute lil wiggling gecko.

I'm a lil lizard on a tree on a tree, I'm a lil lizard on a tree (Western Fence Lizard, looking cute as they usually do).

To be completely honest, I thought Dick Cheney was already dead.

I'm really not surprised. Also not surprised about how Tesla responded. www.cbc.ca/news/investi...

So @duckieninja.bsky.social posted the original Stephen Miller Giant Bat in chat, but I felt it needed a few... Modifications. Plus in the original he had no penis and I thought that was unfair to Katie. Kinda have to look really closely, though.

Oh. Shit.

My youngest filled my water bottles and carbonated them for me, which was very sweet of her. Unfortunately she used the tap to fill them and the tank on the Sodastream is getting low and she only pushed the "low" carbonation button, so I have flat heavily chlorinated water to drink today.

*sigh* I know.

I immediately thought of you when I made this, Greg. I was talking to someone about manufacturing and how they're involved in metallurgy, and then I found out Indiana was a big steel producer. @gregbuster.bsky.social

Just applied for 16 more jobs. The last job I applied for recently denied me, without explanation, and I have been emailing them for a week for the explanation. Its either because of being a former Nazi or being trans and they have to pick one to tell me lmao

If there's one thing that's somewhat funny about the demolition of the East Wing, it's this: that's where The Office of the First Lady has been since Rosalynn Carter. Where will Melania run her #bebest campaign from?

TMZ had a fine picture of the gentleman after his second fall.

Normally I wouldn't sanction this, BUT the guy was an epic douchebag, so I'll make fun of him by making him into a wojak.

Okay why doesn't anyone make "scent booster" laundry beads in just a straight up pine/fir scent? This is annoying.

Oh good, Trump commuted the 7.25 year sentence of George Santos after he served less than 3 months in Federal PMITA Prison. I was beginning to worry he might not reward George for telling Trump what a huge cock he has.

I spent like 2 hours making this, which is probably why I'm not a graphic designer. Kudos if you get the reference, because I'm probably going to have it printed as a shirt.

I didn't know about Bryan Andrews before his post & still wouldn't if he hadn't spoken out against the disgusting mockery ICE & the US has become after hiring fucking assholes who can't get a real job & enjoy assaulting brown people, kids & anyone who gets in their way www.yahoo.com/news/article...

Jim and Ron confirmed that 8kun got deplatformed today.
