Please don’t ask me to repeat myself I was also not paying attention
Does the Swift-Kelce engagement mean I’ll finally stop seeing posts about the Cracker Barrel logo?

With all this rapid change in technology and AI, have you checked in on your Boomers?
It’s not going well for some of our parents.
My dad has been in an argument with Microsoft Copilot for a year now.

What a great Mayor Wu.
Reporter: What’s going on with those posts on X that are clearly trolling the president?
Newsom: I hope it’s a wake up call for the president. I’m just following his example. If you have issues with what I’m putting out, you sure as hell should have concerns with what he’s putting out
Are all the astronomical phenomena oddly happening this week or is it just a change in my algorithm?
Stay gold? In this economy?

Today I discovered my neighbor’s cat likes to take naps in a potted plant on my porch
Found this fox with his breakfast on my morning walk today
Just heard a YouTube dude bro use the term “manopause” and really, can’t you let women have something for themselves?!
I was knitting to distress but I’ve got an f’ed up stitch and I’ve unknitted 2 rows and still can’t figure it out.
Certificate for serving jury duty
I did not make the cut.
I join about half the remaining potential jurors who also got dismissed back down to find if we will get a new court assignment. Fortunately, we do not.
So I leave with my validated parking and this #JuryDuty souvenir.
Funny thought as I’m waiting to find out if I’m in the final pick for #JuryDuty - we were asked if we know anyone in the courtroom already. If the presiding judge here was a different one, I could have replied “you married me last year.”
Missed opportunity.
After 1 more hr of jury questions, about 12 are dismissed, sent back down to the waiting room as they may get another court assignment. So that surprised me, as I was hoping to be dismissed but not if I’ve gotta go thru it all over again
We’re in a short afternoon break as lawyers pick the jury.
12 sit in the actual jury section. 6 of us (including me) sit in chairs in front of them. The rest fill 2 rows in the courtroom. Everyone but in that 2nd row answer questions. I’ve answered I think 4 total (so far).
I have no idea if I’ll be selected at this point. Perhaps I’ll be an alternate
…continuing to live tweet my #JuryDuty experience (altho nothing about the case)
2 hours of jury selection questions so far. We’re not done yet. Mostly about our opinions of whether we’d be impartial in various situations.
Got an hour lunch. Food trucks out front
Plot twist: I accidentally cleared the court. Following my answer to jury selection questions, we were all asked to leave for a short break. So #ProTip maybe don’t say you doubt an ability to be impartial against someone in the KKK (even if you don’t have any knowledge about the case yet)
#JuryDuty
Pro Tip: do not come empty to #JuryDuty. You will be bored.
Jigsaw Puzzles, word puzzles & magazines are made available (I came with my ebook on “Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind” - highly recommend)
Waiting continues for my group as - now hearing - our courtroom remains without AC.
Jury assembly room doorway, crowd inside
8:25 welp after the 40 of us took elevators back to the 1st floor I’m back to that crowded jury room. Almost. It’s too full so waiting in hallway with a dozen others. We’re to wait down here while our judge finishes up some morning business.
#JuryDuty
8:16 Judge comes in with an update that things are delayed this morning - and a promise that the AC will come on. Seems like a nice guy - can’t recall if I’ve voted for him.
There are 40 of us jurors (that seems like a lot). We’ve filled the courtroom. #JuryDuty.

While most people fill the jury waiting room, I’m among those who go right up to a courtroom. I’m up on the 10th floor reading their info pamphlet. I’m assigned a number and supposed to remember it.
Worst part so far, seems there’s no AC in this courtroom.
#JuryDuty #17
And let me start by stating how fortunate and privileged I am. I’ve got a flexible schedule and without difficulties. My morning started helping a physically handicapped retired woman in the parking garage get down a flight of steps after discovering the garage elevator was out of service.
Ever wonder what its liked to be called for jury duty? Buckle up. Cause I’m back for my 2nd go. Arrived at the courthouse at 7:50.
New business idea: a texting service that decides the restaurant for couples who can’t figure it out.

Just asked my preteen “you’re not talking to AI, are you” and it’s weird that that is new stranger danger of our day.
