Hell yes!  Many of us have been following this story from the beginning, and I'm SO glad to see it resolved finally... arstechnica.com/security/202...

While debating whether the effort of getting dressed was worth the reward of a nice meal, I ultimately mumbled out loud “Fuck it, I tip well enough I don’t need to look nice”

Dammit. I thought I knew what I was going to do for dinner, and then in the last hour I have heard lumpia, pizza, and fried chicken mentioned.

"They're fooled by AI! What morons!" No, they just don't care that it's fake as long as it supports their narrative. Please understand this.

I thought today was Sunday 😭

Tacti’s House: Where you get invited to dinner and go home with homemade pasta sauce, a KitchenAid attachment, and a Reolink camera (I forgot to send them home with two of the three)

Dinner with friends was much needed. Taught them how to make homemade pasta (which they did most of and it turned out amazing), did chicken parm as the main course, and had bread and cheese to round it out. And wine. A lot of wine. Like a bottle each for two of us.

I started enjoying wine more when I realized that a lot of it is meant to be pondered before it is meant to be enjoyed And that, dear reader, is one of my most bougie takes

“Don’t they know the difference between X and Y?” They most likely do, but they don’t care. Intentionally conflating the two signals how little they care. They actively revel in it. Now apply this logic to nearly all abuser activity and you’ll start to understand.

Management Pro Tip; A post-mortem is effective only after you start listening to the pre-mortem.

Somewhere out there is a weird little freak who pronounces “topics“ as “toe pics“ and somewhere else is an even weirder, littler freak who likes it And that’s love, baby

Today has not been a good day, on nearly any front. Just unrelenting shit from every fuck, without cease.

Management Pro Tip: If your 1:1s with an employee are spending more than half of the time asking that employee for advice, promote that employee.

Alright, alright, hold on. Let's jump to conclusions.

Tonight, I had wine. And cheeses and bread with butter and tomatoes. And I drank and ate slowly. And I read about wine. And, for a moment or two, things were not on fire.

Take inspiration. Take motivation. Take whatever it is that gets you fired up. But don’t go planning the resistance over Palia.

Every parent needs to remember that we aren’t raising children, we are raising adults

I can’t quite articulate how much the words “The stock market recovered after the United States President said he wouldn’t use force against an allied sovereign nation” should never have to be used in that order.

I need everyone to fully internalize that last line

Had a lovely Hobbity winter dinner with a friend. I roasted two chickens and made gravy from the drippings, did a citrus honey drizzle to go with, made creamy mustard potatoes with dill, and got some sourdough and a candied pecan and goat cheese salad. Not pictured: blueberry scones for dessert

In case you needed yet another barometer for how bad it’s getting, Great Moon Buffet in Maplewood is temporarily closed. This is approximately equivalent to a Waffle House closing its doors.

You have no fucking idea, not the vaguest conception under God, of the unholy and unmitigated wrath you have just invited upon yourselves.
