I rarely go on LinkedIn so I thankfully avoid many of these, but I think I found my first LinkedIn Lunatics submission:

I had somehow not been added to my condo association's group forum thing when I moved in, so I wasn't even aware it existed until like a month ago when they moved it over to google groups instead and added me. Well, I kinda wish that I had stayed blissfully unaware because my downstairs neighbor is definitely the busybody of the HOA and I don't like the thought of anyone subconsciously associating me with her (our condos are in clusters of 3 and she is in mine) 😂

Instead of adding new AI tools I don't need, maybe Outlook can work on making it so that declined invites don't keep reappearing 20 times in my calendar every single time the organizer updates or sends a reminder.

I saw the national guard patrolling the fucking dog park today, while happy dogs obliviously chased balls around. What the fuck.

Book club leader: Please *only* vote for the next book if you plan on attending!

Me (and probably others): But what if I'd only attend if I want to read the book we pick 🤔 Better not vote!

Book club leader: Barely anyone has voted! PLEASE vote by Wednesday!

Shocker!

Between the Knicks winning and the Vegas Golden Knights losing, it was a great sports weekend for me, personally.

My fellow Americans, I have to know:

I have had this

I have seen this IRL but have not had it

I was aware of this item, but I've never seen it IRL

What the fuck is that?

I love the Off that comes in a purple can (which uses picaridin). I almost never used deet (except in multi-hour hiking-in-the-woods situations) because I hated how it smelled, how it felt on my skin, and how it would melt plastic and rub off dyes. But the purple Off does none of that so I can wear it even on short walks or just to go to lunch. And best of all, to date, I haven't gotten any mosquito bites while I was wearing it!

There's an animal shelter close to a brewery I'm going to tonight, and this is their address:

@brostateexam it was this recipe! Copied the text below in case you don't have IG. Instead of draining on a paper towel, I was considering first macerating the peach slices in a cup of sugar and using the juices from that to make the cornstarch syrup.

FRESH PEACH PIE

Blend and cook until thick (200 degrees)

1 cup sugar

3 tablespoons corn starch

1 cup water

1/2 cup butter

1 teaspoon almond extract

Slice peaches and drain on paper towel. Add to cooled mixture. Pour into a pre-baked or gram cracker pie shell. Refrigerate. Serve with whipped cream.

Rules of the Les Misérables magic system (as far as I can figure out):

As long as there is still suffering to be had, Jean Valjean cannot die

Jean Valjean has super strength which cannot be depleted by age or his poor ability to look after himself (up to a point)

Once a person has met Cosette, lack of proximity to her will slowly drain their life force

The dead benevolently haunt those they loved while alive (ily ghost!Fantine)

Javert has an incredible ability to recognise potential criminals (read people from lower social classes)

Eponine has the ability to blend into the background but cannot turn this power off

The only one immune to this power is Javert which isn’t very helpful

I came across a fresh peach pie recipe where the peaches are *actually* fresh and uncooked (most "fresh" peach pie recipes I've seen just mean that you peel and pit fresh peaches instead of using frozen peaches, but the fruit is still baked) so...I know what I'm making as soon as peach season is here.
