Worrier Queen

Then Frog and Toad ate a big breakfast. And after that, they spent a fine, long day together.

Anyways: Get good at whatever it is you do, newbs, and stop using GenAI to do the heavy lifting.

It's a tool, not a skillset.

Exactly this: every loud supporter of GenAI I've encountered has been OBJECTIVELY mediocre-to-bad at what they do. Or just painfully unseasoned.

They love it because it's the cheat code to LOOKING like they've done the reading when they haven't. Like, GenAI output is great if you don't know much.

Buddy, please go eat the round things. Time with people is good for your brain and comparison is the thief of joy.

I, for one, am VERY excited about SoupCon. We should make that happen.

This is deeply annoying to me, and I do my absolute best to give these dingdongs as little of my money as possible.

...I guess players like me are the problem???

It's incredible to see a digital product using the same shrinkflation trick as physical goods. They didn't technically raise prices, they just lowered the amount of V-bucks you get for the money, so it's easier to miss when buying. An inherently exploitative tactic!

This is hilarious.

Also, completely enraging.

The Menards in Richmond Heights has a lovely man playing a mean jazz piano and it's kinda nice to have a classy soundtrack while buying GFCI outlets.

In this timeline? I'm celebrating everything all the time, because: why the fuck not?

Also: Happiest of birthdays to @mebhy.bsky.social !

Look, Holly, she has important work to do.

The contents of a 10'x10' storage unit, including some furniture, a bunch of plastic bins, and a human skeleton in an IKEA bag.

Sent this picture of the contents of our storage unit to our movers and only just realized this might be alarming...

Can I skip to the part where we're done packing and everything is two states away and in its proper place?

So, like... MAY?

She's new here! She's just a BABY!

I'm not sure she knows how to BE. 😂

SO MAD

feature, not bug

Just put them outside. The kids, not the cookies. You get all the cookies.

...like those wine glasses from Crate and Barrel we got as a wedding present.

Oh, closing is Thursday afternoon, internet man comes Friday at 8a.

DAVID. DAVID, IT IS THE PITS. Francis JUST TODAY got all the Transformers into boxes!

We're moving! To St Louis! Which is great! Love that town, a TON of people we love live there, and we lucked into an absolute BALLER new home.

Except: packing. Moving itself. Having to touch every single item you own at LEAST twice in the span of a couple weeks.

I mean, if the weather isn't bad to you can seldom go wrong with a historic cemetery tour.

At least I can't, as I am a Spooky Bitch™️.

So, now that tariffs have been deemed illegal, someone's gonna cut me a check for the thousands of extra dollars I had to pay to buy things we just don't make in the US, right? And all my friends whose companies were sunk by the tarriffs get them back?

That's how it works, right?

so we paid the tariffs and now the corporations that passed the costs on to me and you are the ones that are going to be reimbursed, do i have that correct

RIGHT? Like, would have been nice if this had happened BEFORE a whole herd of our friends lost their jobs in tabletop gaming...

Every news story is now “State Senator Randy Pervert (R-Springfield) was indicted on 8 counts of lewd behavior with a child under 12 and has been put on paid leave from his two jobs as Border Patrol liaison and youth pastor at First Presbyterian (PCA) where parishioners say they were ‘blindsided.’”

Drake Equation-ass equivocation...

Please note: we are moving and EVERY ONE of those little plastic bastards needs to be put in car mode for packing.
