For those keeping score at home:
I informed Grammarly via email precisely what I thought of their appropriation of my name and reputation and received an email from their head of litigation promising a full response by the end of the week.
To be continued...
In a few days she's going home to visit her family for a couple weeks and one one hand, my inner introvert is excited to just be responsible for myself and the dog for a bit
On another, larger and.... My best friend is gonna be gone for two weeks who will I whine about having to brush my teeth to
This evening we worked together to figure out how to get the daybed up to The Lair (my office/her art space), and then did our own separate dinners and played Mario Kart, briefly interrupted by Jeopardy and playing with our old AF dog
She is beating me at Mario Kart by 1 point.
The gay agenda
You ever just *clenches fists* have a wife that you think is the absolute goddamn best?
On one hand, I absolutely hate that central Maine hit almost 70 today, during a time when we're supposed to be in the 40s. High 60s is May weather, stop teasing me like that when we're supposed to have like, snow tomorrow
On the other hand, I have a beer and salad and the windows open. That's nice
One of these days I'm sure we'll cross paths and I'll let you know lol
But you're definitely doing it right :)
Camera feeder photo of a white-breasted nuthatch looking up as an American goldfinch zooms by.
laughed for a solid minute 🪶
A white-breasted nuthatch, in tones of white, black and steely blue-grey, clings to the side of a hanging log suet feeder. It looks at the camera and gobbles up food with its beak wide open.
Same deal, just much closer and grosser.
Merp, my uncouth resident nuthatch, chewing with his mouth open while I try to work on the other side of the window. #birds #HellYeahNuthatches

One of the worst fucking people I've ever met *despises* Andrea and that's more than enough to get my vote
Plus, you know, her platform rocks
I am aware that saying “my wife” like Borat is perhaps the height of cringeworthy millennial behavior, but you need to understand that when I do it I’m actually just celebrating the fact that I am gay and have a wife, and everyone should be jealous of me, making it much more sophisticated
I’m sharing this video again because people don’t really get what these data centers and ai are doing to our planet and our communities. Especially Black communities because they were strategically placed there.
I need you to listen to these people.
STOP USING AI. STOP SUPPORTING AI.
McKay reminds me so, so much of a coworker of mine when I worked at the animal shelter. She passed away, but god she just taught me so much about being a human in an inhuman job. I miss her all the time.
Idk what it says about me that Santos, Langdon, and Mel are my favorite characters
But I know most of that would have the reddit after me, lol
There is zero reason for this show to exist and god help me I am going to watch every stupid episode because I simply cannot resist things about weird religions

It was going on one, two in the morning, and we were shooting what I felt was an important scene for me, when he makes an attempt to be quote-unquote straight, in a suit, and at the end of it he gets emotional and locks himself in the other room. And I felt like, I’m not getting what I want—I’m not happy with it. Mike was happy with it. He called me the next day and said, “I know you weren’t happy with the scene last night. Believe me, we wouldn’t have gone home if I had felt we weren’t getting it.” And then he sort of became my psychiatrist and said, “You find it difficult to be happy, don’t you? You find it difficult to enjoy things.” And I said, “Well, sometimes. Last night was about feeling too tired and not feeling I was reaching what I needed to reach for the scene.” He talked to me then about when he was making, I don’t know whether it was Virginia Woolf or The Graduate. He said, “I didn’t enjoy it for a second. I was worried about so many things.” And then he said, “You know, this is never going to happen again quite this way. You should try to allow yourself to enjoy this more. Take a minute a day, and then add a minute the next day, and another minute. Pretty soon, you’ll have hours of happiness.”
The Birdcage opened thirty years ago today, so in its honor, I want to share one of my favorite stories about Mike Nichols that didn't make it into my biography. This is from an interview I did with Nathan Lane.
Took a big swing and got together a few folks from three different friend groups tonight and play Ten Candles, my #1 bucket list game
And the person who ran it absolutely nailed it and it was so scary and fucked but also so much fun. Top tier gaming
Banging my head against a wall because my research into understanding sunk-cost fallacy has been totally fruitless, but given the ridiculous amount of time I’ve put into it I feel like I can’t stop now
It is the massive social media networking rumor
FYI, we don't fuck with AI
I have a bunch of Rad Friar Stories, because I did dishes at a bakery run by Franciscan friars for a minute.

I have enough extra bone in my mouth that getting dental X-rays is REALLY fucking painful and annoying
I miss that mid-90s to early 00s period where studios were really nailing the practical effects with a bit of CGI. That's the good stuff.

Imagine asking predictive text to think for you when instead you could discover the beautiful world of people thinking very hard and methodically about interesting things in the hopes you become interested too
