The bathroom we have to share is minute, has no counters at all, and the plumber isn't coming back until Monday 😭

They vibe coding this site again or what, no media is loading?

Tortie cat sitting on a towel left on the floor next to a brand new and yet leaking toilet in my bathroom

Today's Spica still prefers towels to the new floor, will always prefer towels, has her own toy towel play area in the kitchen, thinks all towels belong to her

I need to go to bed

Prego Pivots From Budget-Tier Pasta Sauce to Small Microphones That Listen to Your Family's Intimate Conversations Prego, the pasta sauce brand, announced a new lid-shaped device designed to record and preserve family dinner conversations.

Every day I read a news story that makes me feel like I need to apologize to at least one insane person in a John 3:16 van and today it’s this one

I saw a headline
which alarmingly noted:
“Urgent warning
of long Covid symptoms
as number of cases
rise in UK,”
but here, across the pond,
things are quite different,
yes, here we know
that the way to avoid
a rising number of cases
is to just stop counting them.

Their identification software ROUTINELY churns out false positives.

Like to the point it would be unusable by any other entity.

Meanwhile I get to haul my carcass up and down the stairs every time I have to pee during the night and let me tell you my knees will not love that

Fuck it, just gonna buy a new toilet

Once you see that the Democratic party’s primary purpose for existing, from the ruling class perspective, is to define the absolute left-wing limit of the bounds of acceptable discourse, you can’t unsee it.

ONE WAY PASSAGE (1932)
If you've never seen this romantic, haunting pre-Code film, you're in for a treat. William Powell and Kay Francis as star-crossed lovers meeting on an ocean liner, each with a fatal secret. An underrated classic. Don't miss it!🎥

Today's wisdom: You can be comfortable with conversations about moose, you can be fine with the idea of a moose but none of it prepares you for the first time in your life you actually see a moose

Let’s talk of graves, of worms, and epitaphs

An update from my dad's workbench. He's carved one of his sheet phantoms skipping over a waxed driftwood pebble, like some kind of seabed creature...

This seems to be talked about generally less so if you're wondering why people are saying you should boycott the new Neo Geo (and SNK in general) here's why:

My photo shows a Paleo-Babylonian clay tablet inscribed with cuneiform text, still partially enclosed in its original clay envelope. The clay is pale orangey-brown in colour displayed against a grey display case background. The outer envelope has been broken open, revealing the inner tablet beneath. Both surfaces are covered with densely packed wedge-shaped characters, which record a contract for the sale of a house purchased by Mannum-balu-Samas at the price of 1/3 shekel and 15 grains of silver. This is followed by the names of the numerous witnesses including the mayor Sin-magir and the courier Apil-ilisu. The same text is repeated on the envelope in the event of a dispute, which was broken to inspect the internal document. It is dated 32nd year of Hammurabl's reign, 10th month, c. 1750 BC. The clay envelope measures 87 mm (height) × 55 mm (width), while the inner tablet measures 64 mm (height) × 43 mm (width). On display at the Museum of Antiquity in Turin. Collection number MAT 740.

Public charging is more expensive, of course, but still absurdly cheap compared to gas prices

My home charging app screen showing I spent an estimated $16 charging my car for the month of April. FYI the time in hours is how long the car was plugged in, not how long it took to charge, lol

Screen from my home charging app showing I drove an estimated 545 miles in April

I'm not trying to be smug, just to show the absolutely insane cost of gas-powered vs EV

Look at what we, in Washington State, have to pay for gas, I know we arent the highest price, but we are certainly up there.

1. Boy, Amazon is in a heap of trouble. Evidence made public yesterday by California AG @agrobbonta.oag.ca.gov shows blatant price fixing. And there are so many examples. Here's Amazon scheming with a pet food supplier to get Chewy to raise its prices.

#Ootd is similar to yesterday's in that it is from the Regency Era and features a empire waist. However, it's from later in the decade, most likely between 1815-1825, as the puffed sleeves and the trimmings on the hem suggest it is from the Romantic period. #Fashionhistory

Somewhere Bismarck is looking down in confusion as Germany projects power by sending 4,000 pensioners, 12 buffet stations and a TUI loyalty program through the Strait of Hormuz
