told our kids about the Pope's encyclical against AI and that they're technically Catholic. the youngest is very excited to spread the word that "AI is unholy"

someone is trying to catch bees but I don't think he's gonna be too happy if he ends up being successful

decided to take my lunch break in my car because dealing with customers today has been A Lot Oh My God Why Are You Like This, only to have someone's alarm going off in maybe the most irritating way the whole time
