We've had a very reliable ride cooker for a long time. So we need it? Eh...I've cooked rice properly in a regular pot a couple of times in the last decade, but the rice cooker is set-and-forget. youtu.be/OpDh_O473Ms?...

Before the pause Trump said it was a great time to buy his stock, which in turn gained 22% before close. He was later heard bragging about having gained $2B on that alone. His actions as President drove that personal outcome. He's a crook so not really a surprise. substack.com/@tristansnel...

Don't care what the movie reviews said. "A Minecraft Movie" was escapist fun. Goofy. Stupid. But fun. Sometimes you don't want SxSW stuff. Someone ya just wanna have fun. Meanwhile, binging "Severance"...man...crazy but good.

-$8800 today, which is more a statement of how little I have in my 401k so far. Lots of folks lost several tens or thousands from their investments. Just gone on some stupid nonsensical formula for tariffs.

Well, at least Trump's embarrassing stupidity is now plain for all to see. Tariffs based on trade "deficits". Did he _not_ take macroeconomics, or did Wharton teach some weird economic theories back in the 60s? Reminds me of the infamous June 2024 CEO town hall. Ugh...

I'd laugh, but it's effectively true. Luigi inadvertantly killed the leader of the UHC Death Panel, conspiring to deny valid claims to inflate the bottom line. A good kill in my book, even if also legally a murder. theonion.com/attorney-gen...

I wonder who is going to sue over Donny's EO against the Smithsonian. They're not under any one branch of government, and that was by design. They shouldn't be subject to the political whims of a criminal narcissist.
