I apparently forgot how to type so instead of "hot dogs" I just searched the Walmart website for "hot gods" and I think that's a totally different website for that probably

What on earth happened with the sportsball tonight? Y'all all about it!

I have plugged up my kotatsu for the season and I have a SUPER plush new blanket for it and I am living my best life right now.

This is absolutely our experience with Siri. iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, all great. Work perfectly. On HomePod? Bryan just had to fight a pitched battle to play his sleep playlist. He actually lost this battle because it ended up on MY sleep playlist & he just settled for that.

A meme with 3 dragons. The 2 on the left are very intimidating and the one on the right has googly eyes & a tongue hanging out in very derpy fashion. The top caption says "Siri on Apple Devices" and the dragons are labeled from L to R: iPhone/iPad, Apple Watch, and finally Apple HomePod is the dumbass dragon.

Food banks and churches will not be able to cover a gap in SNAP funding, but you know who could?

Walmart. Walmart could just make all groceries free for November.

Wait, Pokémon Legends ZA doesn't have Snorlax in it?! WHY DID I BUY A POKEMON GAME WITH NO SNORLAX

Immediately reminded of the post discussing how special effects artists often have to CGI dogs tails in film and TV because trained performance dogs are usually delighted to be working and will wag their tails all over the place, even when it makes no sense for the story

it is SO FUNNY when you're watching a show with horses in it and within the plot of the show the horses are **»"»"upset"but the way they communicate this is by placing a nervous nickering sound bite over what is clearly a calm horse placidly performing a practiced trick

like clearly this is the correct and humane way to pretend a horse is upset and unhappy but it's soooo funny like this guys ears aren't even pinned back!! he's just vibing!!! dude did the least amount of rearing to get his apple treats and he can see his handler right behind the camera already reaching into the treat bag!! he's getting a good grade in being a good little boy and his mommy is going to be so proud

See also: every "scummy sewer rat" used as set dressing in modern tv and film is a healthy, chubby lil boi with a nice shiny coat bc he lives a blessed little rat life full of fruits and nuts and tummy scritches

Caveat to the last point - almost every rat you see in TV is a she; male rats have just absolutely enormous balls and they don't want to show that on the camera!

One of my very favorite things: cover songs that are an entirely different genre or sound from the original!

Today that means wearing this skirt & these boots, going to Ulta & getting Urban Decay eyeshadow & MAC lipstick, & getting a Starbucks coffee.

Me in a Target Starbucks. I’m a middle aged redheaded lady wearing tortoiseshell, framed glasses, a black bandanna, and a black top. I have on a delightful shade of lipstick from MAC which is a slightly mauve beige/brown color with a blue prismatic shimmer you can’t see in the pic.

My feet. I am wearing a black and red buffalo plaid skirt and a pair of patent leather Doc Martens platform boots that are black in the center & fade to red at the heel & toe

I have determined that the best way for me to unwind from stress is to make my inner 1990s teenager happy. Just let her do all the things she said she would do when she had her own money & time.

Okay but does anyone else think that AZ from Pokemon Legends ZA is basically just Yagi Toshinori? Skinny form All Might? Yes?

Chrono Trigger all the way. Especially an orchestral arrangement, or the Brink of Time album.

What video game OST is this for you?

I use hoagie or sub interchangeably. I don’t know if there’s an Arkansas specific name.

They offer them a sign up for a dating app, but when do they have time in all that to date?! Also: this is absolutely shades of the old "company town" from the heyday of mining.

The thing that makes Star Trek utopian isn’t the end of scarcity or the harmony between all peoples it’s also that the guy on the ship who gets laid the most plays the trombone at work and periodically does community theater

I've gotten to where I usually sleep from 3 or 4am to 11am or noon-ish. That way I can still do afternoon appointments for doctor or dentist visits or just to get out & run errands, but it's still not hard to scoot those hours a little further when I'm working 7p to 7a.

At this point in my career I have transitioned to living nocturnally all the time, so I haven't been flipping between the night shifts. I really only do that anymore for vacations. But that one day shift...what the hell. I was groggy & grumpy & useless.
