This Is Just To Say

I have turned off
the AI features
that were in
the update

and which
you were probably
hoping
to monetize

Fuck you
they were stupid
so unnecessary
and so annoying

It bears repeating that historically, the #1 thing that keeps people alive in hard times and disasters is “the ability to play well with others”

Does it have to be a TV show? Because I will never not say the Pierre Chambrun books

You’re the first person since the series aired that I’ve found who even knows Roar

I am very annoyed that Thundarr the Barbarian is available on streaming but you have to pay extra

Bring back ALL THE PORTS

I lost patience at Guardians of the Galaxy, there’s an entire segment that makes no sense unless you watched one of the TV shows

I’m not doing all that, your media needs to be able to stand alone

From refrigerated, for sure. We get ours from Costco

I have a friend who makes a point to memorialize Kent State on the day the whole internet is making Star Wars jokes

There’s a famous series of commercials on this very theme for a reason

That actor keeps just turning up in stuff and it wasn’t until recently that I figured out he was also in one of my favorite mystery miniseries from the 90’s

Person Of Interest is one of my favorite shows, and come to find out that was despite him. Such a disappointment

Now I’m re-listening. Holy shit, this is the musical equivalent of being allowed to walk home a quarter mile from school, no wonder my generation is fucked up

On the other hand, I’m pretty sure that most things that have been sold this way have failed spectacularly very fast.

So maybe we’ll be okay, except for the people murdered by having had it inappropriately inserted into their heart surgery, or mortgage loan, or

This is a valid point: whenever you see this sort of high-pressure sales tactic turned on a technology, you can be CERTAIN that it's a fake—actually useful new tech sells itself!

And don't underestimate the effectiveness of FOMO as a tool in the hands of a con artist.

TIL they were a manufactured band. Wow.

Most of them aren’t even coders

Yeah, my understanding is that the Europeans didn’t pay attention to the preparation—just grabbed the ingredient

Kinda like the lemon thing for scurvy, but opposite

I saw a video of a woman a few years ago having a hot flash, attending some kind of outdoor concert or game in the winter. Her shaved head was *steaming* in the cold

So like on the one hand I sympathize because when we bought our house, the place next door stayed vacant for a couple of years, and turns out when even nice people live there it’s kind of a nuisance

On the other hand, come the fuck on. This is a *city*

I didn’t even know some of these parts of me could sweat!!

Great Gray Owl landing on a pine, with its magnificent patterned wings outstretched

It’s so good. One of my top five of the last ten, maybe fifteen years

80 degrees in April in Phoenix, while pleasant, is also weird AF

Mary Pickford boops the footman in the 1914 feature version of CINDERELLA

I support this

Tinned oysters are another sort of low-lift, high-protein food (you have to like oysters but I guess that’s true of all the foods we’re discussing here, if you hate fish then the sardines just aren’t going to work for you)

I love caviar, I occasionally buy it as a Very Special Treat. But just grocery store caviar on like, a Ritz cracker

Anchovies work this way too, but they’re extremely strong and salty. A little goes a long way if you’re eating them straight.

They make a terrific ingredient for other things though, like pasta puttanesca, or some kinda of dipping sauces. You can sneak a bit of protein and the salt and oil
