and another thing about these squirrels and their obsession with my walkway rocks - they don’t just bury them in the yard, they bury them everywhere. Towel I left on the porch? Full of rocks. Box that James sits in sometimes? Buncha rocks. Potted plants? Rocks, baby, we are livin in rock world

there is one squirrel back here who I just think of as The Worried Guy - he’s just always sitting up, rubbing his hands together like someone is about to catch him out of bed after lights out, I would die for him

I ordered a salted cream cheese latte as a goof once but now I keep ordering them and it’s no longer a goof, I am just being open about enjoying a heaping lump of cream cheese in my coffee

This is amazing. I laughed out loud www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

As 32-year-old Rich points out, though, "it's not like using ChatGPT guarantees success".
When he met someone in a bar one Friday night and swapped social media handles, he asked AI what his next move should be.
ChatGPT discerned that sending an initial message on Monday midmorning would set the right pace. "Then it gave me some options for what the message could be," says Rich.
"Keep it light, warm, and low-stakes so it reads as genuine interest without urgency," the bot advised. "Something like: Hey Sarah, still laughing about [tiny shared moment/reference if you've got one] - good to meet you!" Rich went back and forth with ChatGPT until he felt they'd hit upon exactly the right message ("Hey Sarah, it was lovely to meet you") but sadly she never replied, he says. "It's been two weeks now."

kind of lightly considering putting a little free library type hutch outside my house to fill with free pottery but I also feel like it will mark me as a kind lady, aka a real lay-up for the serial killer community

… but still wouldn’t it be kinda cute

Prob once a week at 7/11 someone asks me to buy them something while I’m there, and I always do it even though the clerks seem to hate it, and while I can see their perspective it’s also like… guy, if someone is at a point in life to be asking me to buy them milk at 7/11, I’m just gonna do it

Sarah Hayden @wearyourshaydes.bsky.social · 1d

interesting development, and do we know where AT&T was yesterday morning, where’s their alibi

A text from Verizon -

Text Message • SMS
Today 8:54 AM
Verizon: Yesterday morning, an act of vandalism resulted in multiple fiber cuts, causing service interruptions for some customers in Greater Los Angeles County. We apologize for any inconvenience, and our priority is always to swiftly restore service.
These dangerous acts are a direct threat to the safety and security of Angelenos. We know how much people rely on Verizon, and we are actively working with community leaders on ways to stop these actions.

I think there’s a pretty good argument to make that they won’t ever open the government back up willingly and an even better argument to make that if that happens, HOA boards across the country will be the first to try to seize control

😮😮😮 anxiety is AI, generative slop based on my previous feelings with none of the context that created those feelings in the first place and no way to ever create something truly new

Your question was whether there's a way to prepare for your mother's death, not whether there's a way to worry less about it, and I'll take a stab at answering that question using my experience with my father's as an example. No, you can't prepare for it. It will be like nothing you've felt yet. Maybe you think that if you worry about it really well—if you devote yourself to this anxiety, if you memorize your fear like a prayer—you can defeat it before it defeats you, like Roman's "pre-grieving" on Succession. But it didn't work for him because it doesn't work. Authoritative as it can feel, anxiety is incapable of describing anything it hasn't actually seen, like the death of a parent. All it can do is push us around various ugly landmarks in our minds: awful experiences we've already had, pains we've already processed. Anxiety is the blustering cokehead cousin of self-soothing. It brags about everything it knows to conceal the fact that it doesn't know anything. You can't feel what you haven't felt until, well...until you feel it.

this is especially funny because I feel like she’s often made it a point to brag about how smart she is, and then like… THIS is the best crime you can muster?? have the self respect to do some front business money laundering at LEAST!

I broke up with my therapist, maybe forever, we’ll see, at least taking a break - and I felt extremely vindicated in this decision when I said something about Florida and she said “what’s so bad about Florida” and I simply left my body

James is recovering from sedation, as she is a maniac at the vet and needs to be sedated, and it’s such a marked difference between her high and meoward high - Meoward was a munchies goof-around machine who couldn’t sit still and my good bitch James is just staring at the wall, existentially
