Ran across a meeting of the GOP.

The British Airways lounge at Heathrow. Waiting on our flight to Venice.

I don’t know what kind of bush it is, but it’s blooming in my yard.

According to the email I received, Netflix isn’t raising the price of my monthly subscription, they’re ”updating“ it.

Politico article “Red-state universities push back against NIH funding cuts“ has virtually no focus on said universities and is instead a roundup of all things related to the funding cuts. So Politico is either really good at clickbait or really bad at deep research and staying on topic.

I love that someone asking for a restaurant recommendation on SM has to specify he wants “great atmosphere and excellent food.” Really? As opposed to …

Absolutely true.

This was how I showed up for work this morning.

Of all the needs out there and all the types of civil disobedience possible to facilitate change, boycotting the Superbowl is the stupidest, least meaningful, and least impactful thing I can think of. (And no, I’m not defending the NFL’s actions. They’re billionaire cowards.)

Saw legendary jazz trumpeter Arturo Sandoval last night. 76 years old and better than ever.

@travelzoo.bsky.social Do you not know that your app hasn’t worked in more than a week? I’ve done everything I can think of. Maybe if you had a way to actually speak with a human being…

From 2023 to 204, the number of emails sent declined 9% to 2.1 billion. All but three of those were asking me to rate a product or service.

Somebody please explain to me why Windows PCs now won’t update when they’re powered on? It powers up, then I get a message it needs to be restarted to update. I JUST FUCKING POWERED IT ON WHY DIDN’T IT DO IT THEN? THIS MAKES NO FUCKING SENSE!

Great trivia question: who was the first ever musical performer on SNL in 1975?

A smart mortgage company would start offering 30-year fixed rate loans for groceries.

The longest 8 minutes known to man is the last 8 minutes my rice cooker needs to finish one freaking cup of rice.

Mornin’ y’all

Dear hiring recruiters, Your company doesn’t need the street address for any of my previous employers on my application. (You’re not driving there.) And don’t let the the lawyers tell you they need it. They don’t. Now remove that shit from your online application. Kthanks.

My house is in complete disarray, which is my least favorite kind of array.

“Click here to confirm that you no longer want to receive our emails.” Actually, I NEVER wanted to receiver your emails. I wanted to order one item, receive that item, and never hear from you again. WE ARE NOT FRIENDS! You don’t need to keep in touch. GTFOH with your annoying-ass emails.

Popcorn shrimp appetizer brought to the table in a mini popcorn machine.

Mornin’ y’all

Anyone else tired of restaurant menus that just list things on the plate instead of telling you how the food is actually prepared? Duck breast | plum | water | skittles “Thanks there, Pierre, that’s super helpful.”

First day on new mental health medication. Let’s keep our fingers crossed.
