It's weird that we've allowed there to be a category like "laid off" that is distinguished from "fired" in some kind of boss-exculpatory sense

Raccoon Wars III: Lake of Fire begins this weekend. This time, I'm going to finish it.

The single greatest piece of internet advice ever. Don't consume content from people/things you hate. Just don't.

I like that in the middle of a severe weather broadcast, Nexstar forced WTHR to run a pre-recorded piece about how awesome Trump is. Very informative!

I hate plumbing.

They are at the dance. I am fine.

People talk about how cats are the stereotypical autistic pet but like woe betide you if your dog gets on a schedule and you depart from that schedule.

My daughter's first school dance is tonight. They are so excited and I'm a little bit of a wreck about it. They're growing up. Fucking wild how that happens.

Hell House LLC is one of my favorite found footage movies. The acting is awful and it was clearly done on the cheap, but many of the technical aspects of the film are very fun and executed well.

Yesterday it was 81. Today we are under a severe freeze alert. This is normal.

Cleaning up the house in preparation for D&D tonight. As a food option, we're doing a baked potato bar. Which I'm enthused about, because I just have to prep the potatoes. #TTRPG

Oh man, lot of Late America vibes here. www.theassemblync.com/news/politic...

Earlier today I was reminded of one of the most metaphysical government documents that exists.

"Christianity without the New Testament" is how many Christians imagines Judaism, as if the Talmud does not exist and Judaism is fixed in the Second Temple period, unchanging. It's how you end up with Christians wanting to have modern seders because they imagine it's what Jesus would have done.

I had a very long political discussion with a MAGA guy at work yesterday, and I hate to say it, but I walked away with a small amount of hope.

You know the IndyGo bus drivers are locals by the way they aggressively ignore traffic signals. A proud Indianapolis tradition!

As long as you're taking all of your PTO, it doesn't matter what reason you use.

Turned on NBC. They talked about “President tipping a DoorDash driver $100”. This woman participated in GOP ads before playing other roles. There is no DoorDash deliveries to the Oval Office. Please exercise proper judgement when consuming news.

The difference in how Swalwell is being covered by the media compared to Gonzalez, Trump, Collins (GA-10), and Mills (FL-7) is very noticeable. It's especially striking with regard to the language used to describe the victims and their accusations.

I feel like I have to change my starting Wordle now, and I don't know what to go with.

Skill issue

I was glad that DTF STL did manage to throw a couple little twists in with an entirely predictable ending. Decently fun show.

I named my dog "Nature" because he abhors the vacuum.

Japanese sci-fi: two robots in space, yearning American sci-fi: man gets the author's beliefs on polygamy confirmed by the aliens of ramalama IV french sci-fi: two horny bounty hunters visit the Galaxy of Breasts British sci-fi: nuclear war. Everyone dead. America's fault

Finally! Wordle 1,759 1/6* 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

Yes, I mowed my yard for the first time this year an April 11th. Don't judge me.

Nope. Players handle that shit. If they manage to drag an NPC into a fight, that's their responsibility.

The Discovery Institute spent 25 years to get about 1,000 people with PhDs in a STEM field who believe the Earth is 6,000 years old. Fuck man, flat Earthers have more than 7 PhDs in their camp. There is more support for creationism and flerfism than your bullshit legal theory.

Here's what movie critics don't understand. Was the Mario Galaxy movie good? No. Did my kid really want to see it? Yes. Was it cute enough to be tolerable and only 90 minutes? Also yes. Sold.

Taylor Greene is really on one hell of a redemption tour. I can't help but wonder what she's gunning for.

The new Supergirl movie trailer is appealing because it makes it seem so low stakes and ordinary. Woman fucks up people who poisoned her dog. Worked for John Wick.

There is nothing wrong with including hints to secrets in room descriptions. Loose flagstone, crooked wall hanging, furniture askew, drafty closet. Don't make your players pry descriptive elements out of you, and don't waste time making your players ask you if anything looks off. #TTRPG

Guess I'm driving to Chicago to go to a White Sox game in August. www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/...

BREAKING: Following the American threat of an “Avignon Papacy,” Robert Kennedy has begun a Diet of Worms

all these universities kept axing medieval history departments as if they thought tyrants beefing with the Pope was going to stop being relevant

You could not torture this information out of me. And people are commiserating with this dude. Absolutely cooked brains.

Instead of sleeping in his bed, or my bed, or the couch, or his blanket.. he sleeps like this.

[A]pproval of Nexstar’s acquisition of Tegna will advance the Commission’s longstanding goals by allowing the combined entity’s stations to `continue and in fact expand their investments in local news,’ Sook's monologue that was billed as a town hall, was very adamant about doing the opposite.

Assholes have ruined my chance at a mental health day.

Ah well. I enjoyed working here for almost 13 years. On to the next adventure. www.nbcnews.com/business/med...

If you are not Jewish and you are telling Jewish people what is and isn’t antisemitic you need to take a time out. I don’t care if it ‘doesn’t look antisemitic’ to you.

a lot of stuff online is “not antisemitic” in the way that me holding my finger a half inch from your nose is “not touching you”

Herman Melville on moderates, all the way back in 1857:

At this point I assume anyone doing the "not all men" bit is actually one of those men.

“No worries.” I say, with so many worries

Everyone is very bad at social media today, please log off and try again tomorrow.

Business unit with a broken revenue model wants to hand accounting and analytics tasks off to my unit. When I asked the guy who supposedly built the model what inputs it needs he answered, "I don't know." Stop sucking off ChatGPT and learn to do the fucking job.

Post a comic cover you love. I could do this all day, but I'll limit myself to this one.

I have meetings at 0830, 0900, 1000, 1130, 1330, 1430, 1500 today. Goodbye productivity!

The book that has meant the most to me on my journey.
