Honestly, not bad.

Ohio State University banned the long-standing practice of students writing on sidewalks with chalk. The excuse being "complaints" - despite the ephemeral nature of chalk, which washes off in rain.

One wonders if perhaps #OSU students, now denied soft, temporary words, must now "paint" more loudly.

Me: I couldn't get cash out of the machine because I forgot to open the mail with my new ATM card I got 60 days ago

Also me: I need to measure my eye distance, I'll just grab the digital calipers I left on a random shelf six months ago. I know exactly where they are.

Sometimes you have to find mental health where you can. This morning it's taking a walk around the block while I drink my coffee

Memorial Day, observed on the last Monday in May, is a day to honor and mourn fallen military service members. NPR readers share stories of the loved ones they've lost.

No matter how bad you imagine smallpox was, it was worse than that.
Ben Franklin on inoculation, after his son died from smallpox.

“In 1736, I lost one of my sons, a fine boy of four years old, by the small-pox, taken in the common way. I long regretted bitterly, and still regret that I had not given it to him by inoculation”.

I'm not sure how I didn't realize this, but it's hard to work on a flight if your workstation is a #Windows365 VM.

No complaints, enjoyed the nap.

Whether it's Hillary Clinton saying it takes a village to raise a child or Donald Trump deporting a two-year old child to Honduras, both candidates advocated unorthodox approaches to child-rearing.

Just watched the new #GameChangers. The effort everyone put in was incredible, I've not laughed that hard for a long time.

This is also the second episode on @dropout.tv in the past few weeks we've learned more about @samreich.bsky.social than we expected... 🤨

The most aggravating thing about an #API is when it's so poorly documented you can't even get connected.

The second-most reason is when that API has an utterly insane auth schema, ALSO poorly documented, and that's why your connection failed.
