Scalloped potatoes, anyone?

Look, you pull an all-nighter - you begin by eating 1 taco, drinking 1 beer, the go run a half mile. Repeat every hour.

Flashback Friday, profile pic edition.

Tempted to post some old profile pics from back in the bird site days. Had a few... interesting... ones. 🤣🤣

Lol, I ordered a small grocery order via instacart before 4pm. I paid for priority so it would arrive in time to cook dinner. The delivery time keeps pushing later and later.

Margaritas Fortunes Power Aight. I'll take it. The next three words I saw were Dirty Love Ecstasy That also rather implies taking it, in a fashion.

I'm going to found a AI company called 'Chocolate Starfish'. velvetshark.com/ai-company-l...

The current state of my timeline... 🤣

Almost made some almost political commentary here, but stopped myself just in time.

So @jimbobbers.bsky.social is ill with a devil of a cold and is pretty miserable even though he's pretending he is just a little under the weather. Please share your best cold/flu remedies. Bonus points for creativity.

💯

You know when you get a new follower and you've immediately got a bad feeling about them? I've got a bad feeling about this one.

I finally fixed my playlist playback problem on Spotify. It turns out that your queue overrides playlists - and the queue doesn't auto-clear. Good luck finding the queue list, though. 🤣😩😭 Anyway, playlists now behaving normally. Huzzah!

Middle of the night, can't sleep. Have a YouTube short that amused the heck outta me

I may have snort-laughed.

Got my hair cut last week - new style. It's a rather fun shag cut, which differs from my previous "just sorta long." Jim just facetimed me from the local microbrew and said "you've got a fringe. Hmmmm, I'll have to think about that." I....

Okay, this is quite outstanding from Bedford Council.

Oh, there's someone else posting the M&M. That thing is picking up speed. 🤣

Sigh. I did this 9 days ago. My injured thumb is still sore and a bit weak. I couldn't pull a pull tab off something. Fuckssake. It doesn't hurt enough to see a doc, just to still be getting in the way.

This local Wolfdog joined an Olympic ski event and triggered the finish-line camera. This is Nazgul. He snuck into a cross-country skiing sprint this morning and raced the homestretch with some competitors before being escorted home. 14/10 someone get him a medal

I've just looked around B'sky and it is very evident that I am either too out of touch (likely) or missing cultural context (also likely) for everything people are posting about.

Look, I'm sorry. But if I had to see this, so do you. 🧀

PSA for a few of you. Please tell me you know about the Kool Aid Man, though.

This seems appropriate today

Oh, THAT'S nice. Water unexpectedly shut off by public works due to a leak/flood in the basement. No notice. But the landlord for the building knew. Fucking glad I was done with my damn shower.

There is something absolutely filthy about making coffee in a French Press - slowly pushing a rod with a wide tip into a hot, wet, dark tube. And if you aren't careful, it drips everywhere.

Current status: adding msg to the rice and veg I made to go with the dinner roast like the 80s and their hysterical fear of msg were not formative years for me.

"It tastes like someone sucked on a Jolly Rancher and spit in your mouth." "It does not taste like that, trust me, I know"

Who me? Just got off the phone with @jimbobbers.bsky.social - where we were discussing things like quantum mechanics, linear algebra and gravitational vectors, and the curvature of space time. What do you talk about with your beloved on Valentine's Day? 🤣🤣 ❤️❤️❤️

Sorry @jimbobbers.bsky.social

The high-pitched whine that some devices emit when sitting idle occasionally drives me up a wall. Today is one of those days. I'm about to start unplugging everything in this room to see what makes it shut up. The pitch is discordant with the pitch my ears ring at. 😫

My youngest kid brought me a latte this morning. 😍

Today I learned that if you tell a Brit that there were panhandlers somewhere, it has a very different meaning than it does to an American.

Has anyone invented teleportation yet? I'm mid-work-day and Jim is having fun at one of my favorite places without me. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy he is out and enjoying. Just... FOMO!

I'm taking all of these secret crushes as old-school follow friday recommendations.

Damn it. That earworm is nearly as insidious as the Rick Astley one.

I might finally get around to reading this, sometime soon. I bought it in LHR to read on the plane two trips ago, and slept instead of reading, so here it sits, unread. No comment on whether or not I bought it entirely for the title, the way I buy wine for the label.

So. This Valentines Day, when your beloved -- or aspiring beloved! -- comes at you with chocolates or flowers, think about how they measure up to eels. Ask yourself: "Would they eat their own bones just to be with me?" Probably not. 'Cause no one's as romantic as an eel. /fin

Wait, what?

Looking forward to #Valentine's Day tomorrow? We're sharing the love ❤️ by celebrating some of the many natural heart-shaped objects you can find on Earth and far beyond. Take a look! buff.ly/QPGSXWJ 📸 NASA/ APL/ SwRI.
