So the Dons won again today and are somehow closer to the playoffs than the relegation zone? #AFCW #COYD

I mean, you could do that while everyone is there too.

(Alt text should read Cavaliers, I think - shows how much DCI I’ve seen in the last decade)

That’s my senator.

TV camera shot of an overcast Togglit Stand at Wimbledon’s Plough Lane. The Dons lead Northampton 1-0 in the 70th minute.

Always a treat when the Dons are on Paramount+ here in the States.

I don’t think I’ve ever felt more casually gobsmacked than the first time I watched this.

Whiskey, hoping to pair it with Malted Chocolate.

Alyssa Thompson was everywhere on the pitch today, and man is it fun to watch an in form Rose Lavelle.

Happy birthday! All good advice.

Several Boston Bruins players celebrating a goal at home. Yellow sweaters, black pants, yellow socks, black helmets. The sleeves of the sweaters have a black hoop near the elbow, then are white from the forearms down. The gloves are white.

I’m not feeling the scratch marks on the pants, but the sleeves ending in white to the white gloves are fantastic.

My arms are objecting mightily while watching Masters and Gretsch battle it out in biathlon. Good gracious.

Remember when you could be proud to show your kid a speech by the President and know it would be okay for them to watch without screening it ahead of time?

I wish this quote wasn’t still so relevant

"you need to learn how to use gAI or you'll get left behind!"

counterpoint!

the absolute fastest way to render yourself unemployable is to build your skillset around a tool that does your thinking for you, that everyone has access to, and that one company can change or take away at any time

As I get older I'm coming to increasingly radical views like "you have to do things to get good at them" and "you have to think about problems to solve them"

Titus Andronicus is wild. That was the first Billy Shakes to stop me in my tracks.

kill the imposter syndrome in you head because not only is there someone out there doing it worse than you, they're also using chat gpt to do it

Anyways.

The savings!

WW2 vet and technical illustrator who dabbled in jazz drums on my mom’s side. Huge influence on me. Aeronautical engineer on my dad’s side, but he was a jackass who walked out on the family when my dad was a teenager.

I haven't tried sourcing my own Gesha for at home use, but I tried the one by Hachi Coffee that Cometeer offers and loved it. Sadly, I don't live close to shops that will source those sorts of beans.

Love a good Gesha!

The reason I stopped spending money there has nothing to do with what trendy brands they do or don’t carry. They know full well what they did. And until they very thoroughly fix that, I will take my business elsewhere.

What was it? Inquiring minds something something.

Probably the state of the world.

John Green signed so many copies of Turtles All the Way Down that it was more expensive to buy an unsigned one than a signed one.

Same!

I’m four points cooler now! Huzzah.

Like, for microphones. Like mic 5.

Sound board labels?
