2026: The year in which I get paid fairly by more than one client? (Here's hoping and praying.)
A remix of the "no take; only throw" three-panel mem in which a dog says "Copy edit pls?" with a response of "Sure, my (low AF) rate is ..." from an off-screen speaker. The dog gets increasingly angry-looking in the next two panels, saying "No pay!!" then "ONLY COPY EDIT"

Why prop up AI "art" when you can drink a beer and a mulled wine and then buy a hand-knit hat in the shape of a teapot?
A woman in a dark blue hoodie sits in a cozy bar, weaing a light green knit hat in the shape of a teapot, complete with handle and spout. Her expression is amused, and she's giving a thumbs-up.

While at the movie theater yesterday, I noticed a poster for a film called "Die My Love." Between that and "Wake Up Dead Man," what's the grudge against commas in film titles in 2025?

Wondering if anyone else is sick, twisted, and depraved enough to do their #crossword in lower-case.
A crossword puzzle fully filled out using blue pen. All letters in the puzzle are lower-case.

Love to wake up filled with rage at the Democrats -- and I don't even live in the US anymore! Hopefully I can turn this rage into energy to write English-learning textbooks. That's how it works, right?

This is now a #TheGoldenSpurtle stan account ~ Also maybe my gimmick on this site should be making an "Absolute Cinema" meme variant based on every movie I watch ... 🤔

In lieu of a Halloween costume, repping #philly by wearing my boneriffic Mutter Museum shirt today. (Also, I'm bad at selfies; the orange wall is thematically appropriate, and you'll just have to pretend the microwave is spooky.)

Love to go from "three months of so little work I am contemplating a career shift" to "in the middle of so much work that I can't take a day off for another month or so, after a month with no breaks." #Freelancing rules!!! Please send coping mechanisms ...

Had some hot mead on Saturday that was so steamy, it did weird things to my lens and distorted the photo a little ... so the photo now accurately represents the feeling of sipping warm mead (and drinking it with 6x kinds of cheese + flourless chocolate cake)
A long-necked goblet of golden liquid sits on a gray, stone-surface table; the whole picture has slightly soft focus. A person's arm is visible in the background, as is the exterior of a small, charming restaurant.

Another stellar evening of #rotterdam 's best fine dining at Tres! One of the early snacks was an oliebol (fried dough ball) filled with avocado ice cream, topped with a dollop of wild garlic gel and the tenderest pork of your dang life.
Two small fried dough balls sit on gray rock on an upscale restaurant kitchen counter. The ball on the left is topped with seared artichoke; the one on the right is topped with a light-pink bloop of meat. (I can't think of a better word than "bloop")

This whole section really.
Finally: AI cannot do your job, but an AI salesman can 100% convince your boss to fire you and replace you with an AI that can't do your job, and when the bubble bursts, the money-hemorrhaging "foundation models" will be shut off and we'll lose the AI that can't do your job, and you will be long gone, retrained or retired or "discouraged" and out of the labor market, and no one will do your job. AI is the asbestos we are shoveling into the walls of our society and our descendants will be digging it out for generations:

Chibi crew of the Enterprise from Uchusen Magazine Vol. 47, 1989. SD Tasha is great and it's funny seeing early clean-shaven Will.

A bit of #PSX and #PS2 history recovered from my childhood bedroom -- got this #squaresoft promotional popcorn bag from my local Loews movie theater 25 years ago. Promos for #FFIX and #TheBouncer. Was such a fun time to be a gamer!

Absolutely lost it upon seeing the label CLOWN VALUES on a machine at Round 1, but I'm unable to articulate why.
A top down view of a section of an arcade machine; three colorful plastic heads pop out, and the words CLOWN VALUES as well as various numbers can be read.

#GroundsForSculpture is one of my favorite New Jersey things because you get to see art and say "BIG LADY!!!" a lot.

Having a nice time in the #USA, home of the thirty-two-dollar sandwich that was big enough for four people to eat (and came with free chocolate chip cookies)

Once more revisiting good business names from #Seoul, and who could forget the one and only "you need my yogurt," a dessert cafe I stumbled upon after seeing the Korean equivalent of a Chippendales show?
A night scene of a brightly lit cafe with round, wooden tables outside. A white sign at the top of the building reads, in purple text, "you need my yogurt"

Some people stream on #Twitch to make money or find fame. Me? I do it to meet cool #crossword constructors who pop me into their puzzles! ❤️ (Puzz available here: crosshare.org/crosswords/1...)
A blank crossword in dark mode. The clue for 48D is in a brown ribbon at the bottom, reading: "Incongruous pairing of pronouns that may be used as an introduction (also precedes streamer Avery who is a cool and nice person)."

#America -based folks, a question for you (pic for attention): Are there any must-try new foods, restaurants, experiences, etc., that you'd recommend in the #philly area specifically? I haven't visited since 2023, so surely something nice must have manifested in this time ...
A terribly photoshopped picture of an American astronaut on the surface of the moon. Added to this background, you see the following: an alien holding a bagel, a tipping screen, Hide the Pain Harold, a bald eagle astronaut, and a can of Waterloo sparkling water. The Text reads: "Avery is visiting the United States again / Sept 3 - Sept 15 / Mostly Philly, maybe a day or two in NYC; let's hang out -- send a message!"
