Had a nice kbbq lunch with two colleagues and told them about the workload split. Came back to have a (scheduled) call with boss who opened with I AM SO SORRY ABOUT YOUR WORKLOAD AND I AM WORKING ON IT I PROMISE and now I am paranoid someone heard us and reported up

We're proud to announce World Central Kitchen as this year's GDQx charity!!! 🎉 @wck.org is a nonprofit organization that is first to the frontlines providing fresh meals in response to crises having served over 500 million meals worldwide! Learn more: wck.org #TwitchCon

I, a person who hates AI, have been tasked with testing AI note takers for meetings and the first test (Copilot/chat GPT) produced a document that 1) missed all salient points 2) misnamed the product we were talking about 3) says only five people attended (we had 33) 4) is mostly incorrect info

She knew. She’s lying. And on top of that she had the opportunity to create a much better canned response and instead went with the oppressed must learn to get along with their oppressors.

The idea that Kiera had no idea about the boycott of JKR is not only absurd because well you know open your fucking eyes, it’s also absurd because her response is clearly a workshopped one discussed beforehand prob with her team.

Skipping through everyone’s insta stories trying to see my own ad so I can confirm it was fixed and not getting it even though I spend all day on our website: a crime

if I have blocked you on tumblr it's 60% likely because some people don't tag shit and the post doesn't contain text I can block and xkit's block post feature is missing

it doesn't matter if your book is "good", it matters if it has emotional resonance. that's the only "good" that matters.

CANADIANS!! The official petition started by a member of Parliament to fight back against payment processors' censorship of legal content is only open for a few more days. Make sure you've signed it: www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en...

I love riding the GO train, truly one of the most civilized ways to travel, but I especially love the franglais of the announcements: arrivé a MIMICO. (French French harsh English)

Starting the first ep of #GCBS of the season and everything looks so delicious!! Honestly I think the Great Canadian Baking Show has surpassed Bake Off--it has kept the wholesome energy, challenges that look hard but achievable, and the hosts/judges are very likeable. <3

you ever do a big sneeze while wearing a nightguard? thing popped right out of my mouth

who on earth is lighting up fireworks on thanksgiving? fireworks are for canada day and new years and diwali

me: here is a photo of the mashed potatoes for tomorrow family: yum! looks good! me: what time is thanksgiving? family: (silent) I am well aware they are coordinating to lie to me about the time and make me spend a whole day there and I do not like it

(making kissy sounds at the apartment without a lot of hope) watson: j'arrive

people in non-francophone countries don't have this problem but fully we are in chicken milk season

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

fellow pet owners, if you do not have the little green steam cleaner for carpets you gotta get one. I have a very pale pink cat tree and watson had a MASSIVE hairball/food puke on it yesterday and you cannot tell at all. Clean in like 3 minutes.

the gummy was just CBD but as always ANY medicine really fucks me up in surprising ways, so I also took another 3 hour nap this morning despite sleeping 7 last night + the 3 hour nap yesterday. Tbh this is why I take the CBD though: to achieve a lot of sleep real fast.

perhaps took this gummy too early into the holiday weekend and may just take a nap right here

Watson, a slut who bared his chest and then got naked pretty early this morning.

SHERMAN!!!

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

I keep my bedroom super cold (the dream) but only once the weather cools down do I also notice that this place for some reason has a heated floor in the main bathroom. I have it set super low, but honestly, warm tile when the room is cold is also very nice.

MA: do you ever meet one of those people who think in such an interesting way you just want to talk to them forever? Me: no MA: no? Me: no MA: never? Me: no

Me: I have been alerted to a specific problem with ads on (platform). The fix for now is (fix). Later we should look into this more. Team chat: (explodes) Me: also I am muting this chat so I can work on the website Team chat: (continues to explode without me)

"Toronto"

I agreed to speak on an alumni panel and once I did, the email went out to all program grads... including me. haha "Hey mk come see MK" (they don't actually list speakers in the invite, it's just funny)

"What doesn't kill you, only makes you stronger." IM STRONG ENOUGH ID RATHER EXPERIENCE THE THINGS THAT MAKE ME WHIMSICAL THANK YOU.

(take 10 minutes on pause from d20 to chase sherlock from one end of the apartment to the other over and over again; her favourite game)

Vet: okay so he has to fast 12 hours before this test Me: (presenting food all day) Watson: nah Me: I’m going to put all this food away!! It is going away!! Watson: who cares? He’s gonna be starving tomorrow

I have three bathing suits, one normal, one two-piece, and one with period tech so you can swim while bleeding. I only use this one when my period is like 90% done. I bought it when I was a little skinnier than now and it has two problems.

As we approach the season, reminder that Terrys chocolate orange changed the name to Terrys orange because it no longer includes chocolate. It is “chocolatey” with like, cocoa solids or some trash. So I’m never buying it again. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I am taking a mental health day and the time is VANISHING

I watch one or two things on cable live because my building comes with cable, and every time I am shocked at how bad the experience of watching broadcast tv is

H/T @futurehasbeen.bsky.social for bringing this into my life youtu.be/hYUNNER_5Wk?...

Watson: (complaining) Watson: (complaining) Watson: (complaining) me: OKAY I am sitting on the couch!!!! Watson: (chin on my shoulder, happy, quiet) Me: 😭💗😭💗😭💗

delete chatgpt and stop using generative AI 🖤🤍

(FL looks identical to the Empress and the Crown Prince) FL: too bad i am the daughter of the evil concubine Empress: wow she looks like my daughter did before she died in a mysterious accident Crown prince: let's never ask questions about why she looks identical to us for, idk, 10 years

still thinking about mr kohro noballs

they are testing an mrna vaccine for allergies on mice right now and my questions: 1) if they cure my allergies, will mint and peppers still taste like ass? or is that just the allergies? 2) can I ride horses again? 3) will I no longer have to request special bedding at hotels?

my weekend VANISHED

I do not have the time to list all the bad things that happen at every family event, but the main points for the two thanksgivings I have coming up are 1) my sister doesn't serve gravy 2) she only serves plain mashed cauliflower, not potatoes (no butter, no seasoning. Just mashed cauli.)

I need them to hurry up and announce a season 2 of Secrets of the Silent Witch so everyone can see what happens in light novel 4!

my watch: hey there's an alarm watch: alarm? alarm still happening??? idk what to tell you, watch. the other building did have a fire, and they say it's been put out but the beeping continues

I'm not going to lie. I am extremely disappointed to find out that "Helsing SG-1" refers to an autonomous submersible rather than what would have been a gloriously insane crossover TV series.

Rereading the bean counter manga today and as always desperate for the next volume and the next even though I know how it ends (very well)

I hate beans but I am supposed to eat them. I made this and it is a pretty good way to make yourself eat some fucking beans. Everything but the beans tastes great: damndelicious.net/2020/10/27/s...

(playing a board game about a murder in a nunnery in 1205) Me: if that card has a torch and a chicken on it and then the code, maybe this is a canterbury tales reference and— me: me: me: I am thinking too hard (you do not need to know the canterbury tales and its symbolism to win)

The neurodivergent urge to have three drinks at all times
