Just updated my handle to the .com I've been sitting on for a few months! :)

I honestly can't believe I got this domain! Cynethryth was the consort of Offa of Mercia and even got her face put on a coin, pretty unheard of at the time!

I still use queencynethryth in a few other places! 👑💚
I already talk to humans on my computer all day long at work. On days when I'm in the office, it's such a huge bitch to deal with.

My husband and I share a computer room where we sit quietly in each other's company. No way we are going to gab at our computers all night.
This is the future of Windows. Microsoft wants to rewrite Windows to turn computers into AI PCs that you talk to. It's now bringing AI features to all Windows 11 PCs today, in a bid to convince you to talk to your PC and let AI control it. Full details 👇 www.theverge.com/news/799768/...

Personally, I recommend Linux Mint as the easiest thing to switch to from Windows, a process which includes "Make a bootable USB and take it for a test drive".

It's not feasible for everyone, but for those who can move: The house is on fire; get out.

We have 2 scheduled power outages within 3 days of each other. 🫠 Why not do them both on the same day? Where am I supposed to put my food? One day is workable. 2 days? We're really going to need to lean on some friends or something.
Only time I got a good bra fit was going to a bra shop and getting help from the staff. 😅 They just, like, know

I used to run around with very ill supported bazongas and they hurt and I did't even realize it 😭

i'd be a bit annoyed if I heard that there was a Hamas SuperLair under a hospital which required bombing the hospital and then later I found out there was no SuperLair at all. Has one prominent person written a "shit, that wasn't nice, lying about the hospital SuperLair" piece?
"Biopic" is "biographical picture" compounded.

OED says it's "bio" + "pic" (bigh-oh-pic) and not "bi" + "op" + "ic"
I can't view the video for some reason, but I do think the stove's panel looks odd? It looks like a touch screen with 25+ options not lined up properly? It might be real, but I have questions...

(Why would you leave a pot uncovered and with a cat around? She wasn't monitoring the feed while out?)
The post says she went out to feed the dogs, but she wasn't monitoring the camera while she was out.

It’s amazing to me that the Covid period was less damaging to jobs than the current economic policies.

Here's the job ads online index - adjusted for working-age population. Good news is that we've stopped falling. Bad news: we're back to 2012 - a low point in the economic cycle. We are facing years of stagnation / slow recovery without some kind of large, strategic intervention. [2/3]

“The room erupted in laughter when he said he had been advised by Health NZ that the average salary for a senior doctor was $325,000”

Is it even possible for them to make the country hate their guts more #nzpol
📢 There were audible cries of disbelief when he said the action — while their legal right — had "crossed an ethical line".

Vegan mince was becoming hard to find (we just preferred not cooking meat). Beef mince was too pricey. So now we've swapped to pork mince because it's cheaper.

I feel awful about all of this and it really wasn't my choice. Must be maddening for actual vegans

I would love to see a video of these medical specialists audibly laughing at this man.
What I would say to you, Simeon, is that the health system should NEVER be underfunded or under resourced in the first place, that is all on YOU.

The only people to cross an ethical threshold are you and your colleagues.

Public Service Announcement: using or tagging with "NSWFsky" isn't sufficient for the systems to recognise a post is NSFW. You still need to adequately tag the post as being NSFW.

ICE arrested comedian Robby Roadsteamer for singing a parody of Rod Stewart’s “Do Ya Think I’m Sexy” in a Jeffrey Epstein the Giraffe costume outside their facility.

He sings “If you hate brown people / and you are a Nazi” and ICE thugs grab him and drag him into detention. No violence—just speech.

I have identified a fatal data flaw in the survey analysis. Takedown will be incoming but suffice to say, nobody should use Kaufmann’s data for any purpose. It has a critical methodological flaw that is quite embarrassing for him.

Hey look, Israel broke the cease-fire, twice, in two different ways, within 24 hours - again.
NEW: Israel informed the UN it will permit only 300 aid trucks into Gaza daily, not the 600 mandated by the ceasefire it just signed.
The only things that were great about missing my train were Crash Bandihoot playing outside and the kind person who heard me go oh noo aggh and just said, "oh well, sometimes we miss them eh?" Really nice person with a nice smile. Calmed me down 😌
I am really cross about missing my train because a series of things caused me to miss my train by literally 2 seconds.

I even made it in the train, ran out because I forgot to tag on, and am now penalised for it by having to wait 20 minutes.

To be clear:

LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government.

The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency.

This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.

20 minute intervals during rush hour is not rapid transit.

GIVE ME RAPID TRANSIT. ARRGHH
It would have also been great if the train sign didn't say the train was the 5:43 when it was actually the delayed 5:22.
