I brought a carry on and some folding tote bags on the way there and then filled the carry on with snacks etc and put all my clothes in big vacuum pack ziplock bags for the way back.

Oh no, I want to be able to toss in sushi ingredients and get sushi.

A bread maker but for everything.

A robot that I could send a recipe to, and then put the ingredients into a box and have it cook the recipe for me. This is the only use of AI I would want.

Noel Coward did okay as well.

double indemnity isn’t cool. you know what’s cool? a billion indemnities

You’re allowed to just do stuff, you don’t even really have to think it through too much.

If you have tried to take the train here in the last few years, this is very funny.

Watching an episode of the X Files set in the Boston subway system and part of the plot is that the head of the subway system (it is not the MBTA) simply CANNOT shut down the train for a full day because the commuters rely on it too much.

Okay so she didn’t almost win it. She just bid on it. Almost winning an auction is what happens when you hit the bid button on an online auction five seconds too late, or if someone else can outbid you by $10 because they have a tiny bit more cash in their pocket.

That this point, that’s what I see my therapist for (and to keep her update about everything in case I suddenly have something I really need to talk about).

I had a weird conversation last year with a family friend who thought I would be interested in some magic TV show for kids because I read Harry Potter when I was growing up and I found myself trying to figure out how to politely explain that I’m an adult with changed interests.

Grotesque: In a dispute over a will, two brothers including a retired Alabama state trooper now working at a federal courthouse, appear to have gotten their mother-in-law arrested by ICE.
Using the state to remove disfavored family members is the sort of thing that happens in totalitarian regimes.
