"necrotising monkey smeg" really takes it to the next level, honored to witness a virtuoso at work.

May I humbly suggest:

I discarded that draft.

You know the one. The one which would be so satisfying the instant you push send, and then be immediately regretted.

I discarded it. Gone. Sent screaming into the void, where it will cause no drama.

Oooh, I have one of those two, though the screen got damaged and it has this black inky blotch along one side.

Also a Newton MP120. And an HP95LX DOS palmtop. And a spinning hard disk iPod. And a Palm Pilot.

I honestly miss some of those. The Palm Pilot with Graffiti was amazing.

That looks amazing.

We still go over to Fremont occasionally (eldest sprog is in college and comes to visit via Amtrak, we pick them up over there). We'll pencil in a visit to the Crab Shack, thank you!

Hmmm. We lived in Fremont for ~20 years but somehow never went there that I recall.

We live just across the Dumbarton now, and lobster rolls do sound good...

A fabricated statement from Nintendo of America's Twitter account addressing a fictitious scenario in which the Earth's oxygen supply is presumed to be depleting at a rapid pace, leaving humanity with mere days to live. "This is Miyamoto. On behalf of everyone who is employed at Nintendo Co. LTD and its subsidiaries, we deeply mourn the countless human lives which will be lost due to the depletion of the global oxygen supply. To anyone who has ever played one of our games, we are eternally grateful to have created long-lasting fun and memories for you. To ease the suffering of families and children across the world, the Mario Kart World game for the Nintendo Switch 2 system will be available as a free download on Nintendo eShop for the foreseeable future. We hope this small gesture of kindness will ease the pain as humanity prepares for a worst-case scenario." The statement is distastefully plastered with logos for Nintendo and Nintendo Switch 2, as well as with a render of Mario from Mario Kart World.

A fabricated Twitter thread responding to the fabricated Nintendo statement. John Default Profile Picture: "No one read this statement and thought it was distasteful? Why did Miyamoto think this would help anyone?" NintenDeen: "Simple: Nintendo is so depraved that they'd exploit a global crisis to boost the player count of the failed Mario Kart World and force consumers back into the Switch 2 ecosystem to boost sales and player numbers."

A fabricated Twitter thread responding to the fabricated Nintendo statement. PlayStation Nation: "What the fuck are you doing falsely advertising sales during these trying times? I went to the website and Mario Kart World is still selling for $80 USD." Kremling Kevin: "If you actually read the statement, it clearly says the discount is available on Nintendo eShop. Meaning the application on the Switch 2 itself, not the web browser version." PlayStation Nation: "Point still stands."

A fabricated Tweet responding to the fabricated Nintendo statement. Isaboner: "Nothing for Switch 1 owners?"

Had a dream that there was global panic about the world running out of oxygen, Nintendo was the only video game company to make a statement about it, and the internet collectively spent its final hours on Earth debating whether Nintendo was being genuine or not

They have not said.

"In my opinion fake news has done more harm to our Country than Biden and his perverted cabinet did. They have democrats believing so many lies about Trump that they are full of hate and are so blind to any truth !"

Ignoring the projection: they are still watching a source other than Fox News.

More today: "Has the fake news media lied so much for so long they believe their own lies to be true ?"

Post from Tennessee family: "I have been watching Network News the last week and I can see why democrats who have been watching such crap for years are so ignorant and stupid !"

Ignoring the projection: they decided to watch a source other than Fox News, which is extraordinary.

Usually Superb Owl Sunday is a good day for shopping and going out to eat, because so many people really seem to enjoy watching that Owl on tv.

This year though, the event is in a town a few miles from us. I'm not sure what to expect in terms of traffic and how crowded things will be.

T-Mobile advertisement: "let's be friends with lots of benefits."

Eww.

Absolute morons.

Searching for "tiktok toilet 2am" was a mistake.
Cannot. Unsee.

Yet still didn't find this video.

What on earth is that?

what the hell

I read a bunch of Kirchenbücher. I don't think those count, though. "Read" might be too strong a word, too.

looking forward to the treatise

Until 20 I believed that a dime had to be made of more valuable metal than a nickel, since it was smaller yet worth more.

Suddenly realized that both are trash, the dime is worth more because the US Mint says it is worth more.

I keep a Screaming Pillow handy for just such an emergency.

Stagflation again?

As I've gotten older I've found my motivation shifting from Spite to also accommodate room for Vengeance and Retribution.

I like to think that every time we move, Grillo's Pickles sees this weird geographic shift in their sales volume that they can't really explain but which quickly settles down again in the new pattern.

Only one commented. That particular post broke through. They had seen enough of Rob Reiner to have a favorable opinion of him, and were not pleased about the remarks denigrating his life.

The rest did not comment.

That mole looks scrumptious.

I haven't tried very hard to get them to watch anything Star Trek. They find the technological utopia it portrays unconvincing and absurd. The technological future is here, and it is dystopian.

I did get them to watch Blade Runner (1982) which they really really liked.

There is a chance that I'll have another option than the $6000/month family plan on Jan 1. Maybe. Hopefully.

I keep reading that ACA deadline for signup is tonight but I've triple-checked CoveredCA.com and I think California has a different deadline.

I found a few sources that there are seven states with a different deadline. I hope they aren't all AI slop answers, or we'll be even more screwed.

I swear the Misters 16 communicate via referencing a single line from some video they've watched as a way to communicate a complex feeling about something.

I keep responding with "Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra," but they ignore me.
