THE SPICE MUST FLOW

From Beyond Posting why in the hell does Jeff Combs think it's okay to start a movie with the camera centering and focusing in on his plush lips only for him to briefly chew on a pencil before letting out a shuddering sigh that holds equal parts pleasure and fear??

With Microsoft announcing their AI plans for future Windows versions, this /v/ comic from 15 years ago got a whole lot more relevant.

today is gloomy

Sometimes, I'm able to convince myself that my OCD is illogical. That saying or doing things can't cause unrelated effects. Other times, I tell my friends about my favorite sauce in the world and then it gets discontinued within months.

"Would you like to highlight cells in the User ID column that have a value that is higher than average?" why yes Sheets A*I Assistant, that makes perfect sense, let's do that

>parents need to stop giving their kids these YA protag names! >let's look inside that sentiment >and tug this loose thread here >and >oh, I'm just jealous that my parents didn't give me a cool name like 'Haven' or 'Lark' >I would've made a good Lark >they should keep giving their kids cool names

my latest investigation for @consumerreports.org is based on months of reporting and 60+ lab tests of leading protein supplements we found that most protein powders and shakes have more lead in one serving than our experts say is safe to have in a day (🧵) www.consumerreports.org/lead/protein...

Really struggling to control my annoyance levels today, between clueless coworkers, construction traffic, and having to spend my lunch break running errands because I don't get out of my other job until 10:30pm so everything's closed Send tea and cookies and hugs before I smack someone in the teeth

I'm watching kiddo play Undertale, a game I have never played and only know about bc I have friends who were really into it

I had a dream last night about this guy I had a massive crush on, who turned out to be way too unstable. But gosh he was cute. Sigh.

Not!! Tonight!! Satan!!!

I took a very sleepy selfie first thing this morning because my cat was curled up asleep against my cheek/shoulder and was legitimately shocked at how not like me I looked I keep looking at this selfie, it makes me really happy I love how I look in this picture that looks nothing like me

shoutouts to my loser ass exes, y'all are the real ones 🙏🙏🙏

Toggl's entry prompt is a little ominous

I'm on book 2 of Weapons and Wielders and I will say: it is unbearably adorable that every time Keras mentions seeing runes, he pauses and, with the patience of a kind and loving mentor, says, "No, Corin. I do not remember the runes. I'm sorry." This has happened six or seven times now. So cute.

Today, my boss legitimately said: "Our staff shouldn't have to think about problems."

today on No Shit Sherlock

it really does though

listening to male moaning audios while I work on spreadsheets

I threw my back out yesterday so this is my workspace for the day

does anyone else find rogue planets both romantic and melancholy?

It's Her!! It's Kitty!! She's five apples tall!!

workshopping a "what I'm looking for in a partner" post because I've finally accepted that I have to be the one with clear expectations since everyone is a damn bottom

someone please give me a gold star for smiling and nodding through my boss (who can barely use a computer) telling me how to program a chatbot (something I've been doing as contract work for nearly two years)

I got little apple sauce cups from the dollar store yesterday because they looked good in the moment and, wow, these little applesauces are bringing me so much childlike glee?

Highlights from visiting with my dad today: •shuffle dancing is very cool •I'm too skinny •Ch@rlie K!rk was a psyop •(Net@nyahu remotely detonated his microphone)

I will say: A*Is that take drive thru orders don't give me shit about my weird requests

genuinely frothing at the mouth, desperate to talk to some LIKED MINDED INDIVIDUALS about these Andrew Rowe books!!

just War of Broken Mirrors things~

Or, as we say around here, "my type"

Started watching SG-1 with kiddo recently and I'm loving giving extremely mild and inconsequential spoilers without giving the big ones, like "Thor's cool, him and Jack become friends" instead of "the aliens that named themselves after the Norse gods are your classic greys"

I've never licked a spark plug and I've never sniffed a stink bug, and I've never painted daisies on a big red rubber ball, and I've never bathed in yogurt and I don't look good in leggings...

Just hanging out with a baby deer, nbd

y'all ever just see a big field and immediately channel the ghost of Australopithecus in your desperation to RUN

Please enjoy this late-blooming rose with me 💕

starting every chapter hoping it's a Jonan chapter and becoming furious when it's one of the other three POVs instead

I made a (vegan) turkey and (vegan) bacon sandwich for lunch, on toast, with mayo and horseradish mustard and it's sooo good

I genuinely don't understand how anyone can accept that this is our world, that this is life. Therapy tells us that acceptance is the key to happiness. If you can accept that the world is unfair and riddled with cruelty, you can be happy. I can't do it.

$800 in car repairs was not how I wanted to spend my Friday at least the Mt. McDonaldland shake I got to cheer myself up was tasty

Having finished the Arcane Ascension books (at least until #7 comes out!!), I grabbed the first book in another series by the same author. I flipped a coin and started War of Broken Mirrors. It's not grabbing me by the throat and demanding my money like Arcane Ascension did but it's really good!

I could talk about Helena Blavatsky for hours

quietly googling "how to meditate but in an esoteric way not a mindfulness way"

The Happiness of the Katakuris! Takashi Miike brings you a musical horror comedy that is truly like no other as a family tries to protect their happiness, no matter who has to die! store.crunchyroll.com/products/the...

The author I've been reading managed to make a text-based Wilhelm Scream joke and

oh hey bsky decided that I don't want to see posts from an account that I follow because it deemed that those posts were spam so I need to be protected from the posts that I signed up to see fuck I hate this place

One of my more boomery coworkers got her first A*I hallucination today and is in full meltdown mode about it which means I get to do a "All The Ways Gener@tive A*I Can Fuck Up" presentation next week and I'm soooo excited
