“The new James Bond game doesn’t have enough kissing hot girls and his boss is DEI,” I say to my microwave as a frozen dinner turns in slow circles, each rotation another sliver taken away from my soul

I stop by 7-11 most days for my Red Bull fix and each time I usually end up buying a meal for 1-2 people who are hungry. Glad to help but fuck this government!

Meiselas: Katie Miller has been posting about you. I want to give you the opportunity right now to respond. What do you want to say to her? Paulina Mangubat, Content and Creative Director for @TheDemocrats: I want Katie Miller to know that her husband is an ugly fuck.

The dude across the hall has been building some planter box/porch screen thing next door for a month. The scope of it should have taken 1 weekend, but he keeps fucking it up and disassembling it. 😑

Added the NIOSH decibel meter app to my phone because my nemesis has just started his daily power tool use. It’s time to get real solid evidence of this continuous nuisance.

For real ones only.

Awww yeah- another overlong booked training. Mgmt said to return in 1.5 so it’s a paid Nick the Greek kids souvlaki 🍽️ hour for moi.

Everybody be quiet and look at this baby toucan.

The cats wouldn’t go into the clear bowl on the cat tree so I put a blanket in it (thinking the clear bowl made it scary) and my my….

It’s really unhealthy how much I hate the dude across the hall.

GOOD NEWS! Researchers at Stanford University have developed a UNIVERSAL vaccine known as GLA-3M-052-LS+OVA, that protects against a wide range of respiratory viruses, bacteria AND even allergens. The vaccine is delivered intranasally AND provides broad protection in the lungs for several MONTHS.

His message is loud and clear: My technology will take political capital away from one of your greatest enemies—liberal women with degrees—and give one of your favorite demographics to patronize—working class men—more political power to transfer to you. trib.al/OQDUwsh

Wow these are tasty!

It took me 2.5 hours to drive home but that means I get to expense half of my Trader Joe’s purchases for dinner 😁(2hour one way commute = meal)

Someone just said ‘howdy’ to me and I replied “I’m good” and was embarrassed until I remembered howdy is a contraction and my answer was grammatically correct

NEW: The tobacco company Reynolds American donated $5M to the Trump-backed super PAC MAGA Inc. on 4/30/2026. 8 days later, the Trump administration rolled out a new policy that could be very lucrative for Reynolds by allowing it to begin selling flavored vapes.

NEW — My first true foray into AI haterdom is about how those of us not convinced by AI’s inevitability are a real constituency worthy of a voice. Give it a read:

I’m watching these gals stickering product and I want to cry at how inefficient they are. They’re peeling sets, putting them on the top of their hands THEN on the product when they could just apply them straight from the label roll.

A 4-year-old girl died yesterday inside a hot vehicle. It's the third such death so far this year and we're just getting into the summer hot season. Back in 2024, I wrote this piece about why the number of children that die in hot cars seems stubbornly stuck. 🧪 (It was wrenching to write.)

Hawaiian reggae is just slightly too saccharine (I don’t know if that’s the right word) for me.

Donald Trump has not only ROBBED YOU of $1.8 billion to reward his allies, but he just used his own government to permanently shield himself, his family, and his businesses from IRS accountability.

The violation of lease notice got posted across the hall today.

My doc put me on Singulair in addition to Symbicort because the gotdang kitties are trying to stop my breathing- I hope it works! My peak flow/blood oxygen are abysmal.

THIS IS HUGE: Colorado Supreme Court orders Colorado children's hospital to resume gender affirming care for trans youth. www.coloradopolitics.com/2026/05/18/c...

This is insane. The terms of DOJ's slush fund appear to transfer control of $1.8 billion beyond US government entirely. Unless I'm misreading this, that would circumvent Congress *entirely* and put the money outside of *any* constitutional and/or legal constraints ofany kind. Straight up theft.
