I think fudge brownie may be the worst protein flavor. Gimme chocolate peanut butter to at least have some contrasting flavors of chalk.

I am sad there are no more episodes of Puzzle Lady to binge.

Oh well, I may have to just watch them again!

Thanks, @pbs.org, for the surprise treat!

Verge headline: Silicon Valley has forgotten what normal people want by Elizabeth Lopatto Illustration of a brain melting in the sun

"In the place of problem-solving technology, companies have jumped on successive bandwagons like NFTs, the metaverse, and LLMs. What these all have in common is that they are not built to really solve a market problem. They are built to make VCs and companies rich."

So fucked

Also it’s a totally crazy conspiracy theory that I hope is not true.

Right? And they literally just voted on anti-vaxxing yesterday!

And if they can make people not even care when their own kid dies from some easily preventable thing (like measles), it makes it much easier for their followers to dismiss all the harm done to other people’s kids (like all the horrific Epstein Files-ing and genocide-ing).

Hear me out.

What if MAHA and the right are so anti-vaccine because they need something to displace gun violence as the number one cause of death of America’s children?

I’ve got a new deck interview on the blog. It’s for the sexy (but not overkill sexy) Divine Masculine Healing Oracle.

Deck interviews go beyond just reviews in that it’s a reading with the cards themselves. Educational and review in one.

I love when creepy trailer music is just a kid’s nursery rhyme sung moodily. It’s so hit or miss.

Can you imagine Emilíana Torrini singing a dark and slinking rendition of “Do Your Ears Hang Low”?

Haunting.

Stop giving your biometric data to a company just to use their stupid app.

Just saw this via @wired.com

I was not, but I did thoroughly enjoy reading some of those. One for Rachel Getting Married had me howling. Such a tearing into that movie

The continue watching is so embarrassing. Like NoooooOooo, I didn’t want that!

The strategy of making sure that you didn’t have disc 2 of a TV series in the first twenty in your lineup if you weren’t done with disc 1 was always a nail biter

Seriously though. Their catalog seemed to get worse and worse, like a slow boil to encourage slop.

I canceled for six months and then signed up again, and everything was still there. Not sure what their threat meant. Maybe if you’re off for a year? Dumb either way.

I don’t think I’ve watched much that I’ll miss on it. And I rediscovered my vast collection of DVDs and BluRays in storage lol

The OG did though! 😂 I found the Eating Out series thanks to their DVD recommendations. Grateful to that era of trash

Netflix is so funny. “If you cancel, you’ll lose all your recommendations.”

Susie. Gurl. I’d rated 1200 movies on a five-star scale between 2003 and 2010, and they just suddenly went away.

You lost that argument a long time ago.

Flour comes from a plant, sugar comes from a plant, and chocolate comes from a plant.

So, basically a chocolate chip cookie is a salad.

Thank you for coming to my
Ted talk

The first sentence of the next post in my feed was “Disgusting.” And that seemed very funny.

The wind is wild tonight. Feels like change. A refresh.

"I thought it was me as a doctor..."

Honestly my favorite system I think! How was it so good?

I was just thinking about this with Annihilation and Authority, where the inner monologue/logbook are so powerful

And it wasn’t for a small amount. This was $500, which is a lot for most people these days.

Damn. Vance is only 41? Evil ages these fucks.

I will never use CapitalOne again once I can shift subscriptions to something else.

Completely fucked me on a transaction dispute even after I provided proof from the vendor of canceled services.
