This Is Just To Say

I have turned off
the AI features

Fuck you
they were stupid
so unnecessary

Pickle people should be matched with no-pickle people

Mmm, Minnesota Varnishkes

This is quite the statement from Vance, but my neuroses do compel me to say that this isn’t really how either excommunication or papal infallibility work.

We got em on the ropes, ladies

women were kept out of meetings and career opportunities at Pixar because John Lasseter was so much of a sex pest that people decided it was easier to simply not have them in the room with him

how many talented women didn’t get a fair chance because one guy couldn’t behave himself?

A full disc image of Earth, as seen from the Orion Crew Module. The planet is a pale blue, swirling with white clouds and glowing slightly lighter blue in place from reflected light. At lower left, a large brown landmass is Africa, with Spain and Portugal with twinkling lights where the planet curves. At top right, auroras glow in a thin green glow, just barely separated from the planet's surface. Earth is set against the black of space (pic: NASA/R.Wiseman)

More context on this #Artemis II image:

* This is the night side, lit by moonlight. You can see city lights in Spain & Portugal, & a sliver of day at lower right

* The Sun is entirely behind Earth, which makes it a kind of solar eclipse, but w/ Earth doing the eclipsing instead of the Moon:

pope leo: jesus ignores the prayers from those who start wars

I’m a white female college grad and I think that I am as legitimately and importantly American as a white male who flunked out of trade school and listens to podcasts at the gym.

DID YOU KNOW that there were lyrics to the theme from HAWAII 5-0?

Here’s Sammy Davis Jr. singing them.

(It’s just as bizarre and unsettling as that time I found out there were lyrics to the ODD COUPLE theme.)

RIP Valerie Perrine. She was in a lot of movies that were better than Can’t Stop The Music, but I don’t know if there were any I love as much.

Wondering if there’s a grosser way to get your White Castle? The Delta terminal at Logan has you covered.
