finally made it to the musical episode of Strange New Worlds and this is pure, undiluted art

if the world cup is what saves me from my MIL staying at my house I will become a soccer fan so fast

I've always thought French Canadian swear words were really fun and have followed a few people on Instagram and as a result when a Jeep with Quebec plates plowed through a stop sign and almost hit me I was able to yell at them in Québécois

Intellectually I know that The Hague is a real place and things other than The International Criminal Court exist there. I was still not prepared to read the sentence: “Shrek Rave Is Coming To The Hague!”

daughter from hell dropped last night and I told my wife it sounds like how bipolar ii feels which I'm sure doesn't bode anything at all, certainly not poorly

not to sound like a boomer but The Youths love to make fun of millennial gray only to have everything be beige, I just ordered a bunch of school supplies for my 17yo goddaughter and the highlighters she wanted were some "aesthetic mild neutral" nonsense, highlighters are supposed to be NEON

I'm trying to figure out how to make a musical remix using a clip of spoken audio and any kind of internet search is useless because it's all AI generators and the vibe I'm looking for is the autotuned New Girl dialogue from that one vine

it somehow didn't occur to me that this might happen but I've been outside a lot this past week and have seen mosquitos land on and bite me, but I haven't reacted to a single one because the medication keeping the hives at bay does so by regulating the same response that makes bug bites itchy

some gentle Luna snores for your Thursday morning

Hatred of AI now reaching the level of cultural consensus that becomes attractive to advertisers

sloop

I'm not particularly active on Facebook anymore but the group is so wholesome, one woman thought she'd lost a 1.5 liter jar when she moved but found it more than two years later and people were congratulating her like she'd won the lottery lmao

I haven't updated my spreadsheet to include the stuff that won't be ready until 2027 but I'm pretty sure I have just over a gallon of vanilla extract brewing in my pantry right now lmao

vanilla beans are $6/oz again! indrivanilla.com/pages/join-g...

mutuals know where my sister has spent most of her career and while I would definitely not be a fit for that kind of job idk that I could suck at it any worse than the people already doing it

"verify your age" after seeing it in theaters, I rented Spice World from Blockbuster so many times that my parents realized it would be cheaper to just buy me the VHS, which I still have

microdosing republican death until we can get the full dose

➡️ Go to Dropout to watch Vivian Wilson on Smartypants now: watch.dropout.tv/videos/chop...

Every time this goes around I’m stunned that there are still people who’ve never seen it, this performance is to drag what the Mona Lisa is to paintings, but maybe you’ve never seen the Mona Lisa, so today is the day you shall behold it

UPDATE: A GIANT FUCKING BUG GOT INTO THE WIRING, DIED, AND FUCKED EVERYTHING UP

they sent the same fucking guy who's been gaslighting me since JULY 2024 and magically now that he's here in the afternoon like I've been asking and my landlord is in the yard with him he's actually like "oh yeah the unit isn't running at all, I should look into this"

INTERESTING: apparently some people are now putting provisions in their legal cases that prohibit the use of any AI platform that can't guarantee confidentiality (so pretty much all of them) which is an interesting approach to the problem of litigators using ChatGPT

two different HVAC guys have assured me my AC is totally fine and working completely normally (it's 74° outside, there is NO reason for this)

Unfortunately, a stunned Paris is how they all got into this whole mess to begin with

anyway what airlines fly out of Westchester because I can hitch a ride to the airport with my FIL on Sunday morning and get the hell out of town before my MIL shows up

in other news my FIL is staying with us next weekend (has been thinking about flying up and making the rounds of friends/family for a few months but only just made concrete plans) and literally two hours later my MIL texted my wife like "I'm thinking of flying up to visit next weekend"

extremely on brand for my mother: last time we saw her she told my wife about a recipe she thought she'd like and today, two months later, my wife got a LETTER IN THE MAIL that contained 1) a printout of a scan of the recipe, which is from a 2006 Pampered Chef cookbook, 2) $20 to take OUR DOG to

I just saw someone describe glee as a "disasterpiece" and you know what, yeah

I can't believe they got Elon Musk's daughter

one of my favorite things about being the load-bearing password for a streaming service is that one of them emails me when there's a new sign-in and includes the location, so I know which of my friends is using the account and kind of mentally wave hello

Luna watched the fireworks with us

the finished cucumber lemonade does in fact look like swamp water so I'm calling it American Flag Blue in honor of the holiday

cucumber lemonade that'll blow your dome clean off: Ingredients: - 1 cup white sugar and one cup water - a handful of fresh mint if you're feeling bold - 1 cup cucumber juice (1 large english cucumber) - 1 cup lemon juice (can be fresh squeezer or not) - 2-3 additional cups water

As is tradition by now every year

lol youtu.be/_rKPotMhXGA

definitely not Connecticut and not even really New England but "the northeast" for sure

We gotta imprison each of these shithead AI ceo's in a different data center like the minotaur

FYI to friends who like cooking, my vanilla bean cult is doing their annual saffron order soon, lmk if you want to know when it opens up. for reference, the last order they did was $3/gram in 10g increments and they get it directly from a farmer's co-op in Afghanistan

snoot

I wouldn't give her a fourth treat

I've been watching Star Trek: Strange New Worlds and it's sooooooo much fun. I don't know a whole lot about the franchise but I have enough cultural osmosis that I'm still catching a bunch of references

how much overlap do you think there is between mcelroys fans and project hail mary fans www.tumblr.com/bripops/8209...

I need you all to understand that my wife being out of town does not mean I get more room in the bed. I just woke up to Luna sprawled out on SIX PILLOWS. it's thundering though so she's allowed

my goddaughter can't come visit this summer (she has summer school 😭) so I booked a housekeeper with some of the money I saved up for her plane ticket and ngl I'm really excited. not the same as having her here obviously but something to look forward to at least

the first one is a solid mix of love songs and songs about the ensuing breakup which is great but judging by the two songs that have been released from the latter so far, it's going to be a crashout album to rival Preacher's Daughter or Brand New Eyes and I for one can't wait

it's so wild to me that Luna is soooo afraid of thunder but could not give less of a fuck about fireworks. doesn't matter if it's neighbors with small sparklers a few houses down while we're out for a walk or the city's main 4th of July show that's visible from our living room, she just doesn't care

we met a puppy on our walk and she was so small she had to rest her front feet on Luna's chest just to reach her face to give kisses. I could barely get a picture because they were hopping around so much

Hey so you ever go in intentionally trying to make something fucked up looking and then accidentally fuck it up more but it works because the joke just keep building? Anyway here's the cross stitch I did. #art #crossstitch #crossstitching
