Ok. But finding out from Heathcliff would be pretty funny.

There are many, but in reality my phone will blow up within seconds of the touchdown signal.

But finding out from a dank @britculpsapp.bsky.social meme would be pretty great. I’m assuming she has several staged for just such a celebration.
what would be the funniest way to find out It happened

like via Jeff Passan or something

I have become my mom and now check the local obituaries every morning. But to do so requires so many pop-up ad and request for follow closures.
It’s so cool that every website is just Like This now. We used to send guys to the chair for putting pop-up ads on their sites. Now if I want to read something I have to read single lines between autoplaying video ads that use so much RAM they force the browser to reload every 5 seconds.

Years ago I would’ve guessed that Sally Struthers would get the All in the Family tontine, but for it to happen like this is beyond horrific.

Just finished listening to @wilwheaton.net on the 500 podcast talking about Marquee Moon and I just want to give him a supportive hug for reasons past and horrifyingly present.

Babylon 5 fans nod in Vorlon.
I disagree! start with any of them you'll be fine, the lore is inconsequential and regularly made up in the spot

Was out to dinner once and Everlasting Love was playing in the background. My dinner companion was sure the chorus was “Last Meatloaf.”

Just realized that tomorrow will be 40 years since my old man died. I should feel something but … nothing.

My company has an AI council.

I’m pretty sure it’s a group of humans who have to vet any AI uses.

But still.

I am very fortunate to live in the Twin Cities where a wide variety of cultures, including the large Somali community, make this such a fascinating and beautiful place to be.

The 70’s were a weird time. It was fairly normal for a cabbie to ask their fare “where you going to my lady blue?”

Time for the semimonthly “go fuck yourself” to anyone who couldn’t be bothered to vote in 2024.

Gravy soup was a success. Thinned out the gravy with equal parts chicken broth and water then cooked some orzo in it. Season with salt, pepper, and lemon juice. No notes.

The joys of living in CT.

Gravy is just concentrated soup right?

Idea for tomorrow.

President Trump’s MRI were the most epic tests ever. Doctors cried. “Sir, your arteries make us weep with joy.”
