This isn’t a discussion; it’s a monologue, so shut up and listen.

The Backrooms is playing at the indie theatre here next Friday and my kids are pretty excited. My husband is gonna take them. They’ve been talking about this movie for a while. I think it looks scary!

There are truly very few forces in the world as strong as the inertia of staying up way too late doing fuckall

Tomorrow at work is going to rule. The senior program manager and program administrator are off, the dean is off, a bunch of people who work around me including the other woman on my team are working from home and I have NO tasks.

I'm going to spend the day working on my paper and then at lunch I'll go get chicken and mac and cheese from Safeway and a coffee.

how do you explain to someone that this is your sense of humour

“What could the audio possibly be?”

*unmutes*

“Oh,”

If I ever don’t laugh at this, assume I died.

“Because the truth is, tech doesn’t have an image problem. It doesn’t have a message problem. It has an intention problem. What’s wrong with the axe murderer who broke into my house is not that he hasn’t successfully persuaded me to buy into his narrative. What’s wrong is that he’s trying to kill me with an axe. Similarly, when you launch a product that’s designed to put millions of people out of work, block access to sources of verifiable truth, replace human creativity with slop, and lower the barriers to every sort of atrocity, the problem isn’t that you haven’t told the public a good story about those things. The problem is that you are trying to do them.”

I love owls but I just never think of them as birds. They just seem too different. It’s like calling a dolphin a fish.

AI tells:

"It's not this, it's that"

"Quietly" as an adverb as in "It's quietly sending a message" or "quietly stealing your joy"

Today I learned how to use the Apps Script in a google sheet to generate google docs based on 2 different templates and plug data into different placeholders based on cells in the sheet, AND have the script regularly update to scan to see if anything in the sheet has changed and if so, update the docs. I can't believe no one had figured this out before because I basically chopped the workload for me and the senior program manager down by like a third

I ordered something from California. It went to Colorado, then Arizona, then back to a different city in California and that took over a week. I wonder where it will go next

[tornadon-t]

Well, it took a couple more days but now the package is literally back in the same city in California where it started.

DHL—dump it, hide it, lose it, amirite?

Perimenopausal people, some info under the cut. The rest of you, you were warned.

I've been on vaginal estrogen (tablets) for 3 days and it's already making things feel far less itchy and achy down there, not JUST in the vag, but like... everywhere. So uh. HIGHLY recommend.

Brad moved all his pedals downstairs and swapped the upstairs amp for the downstairs one so the kids can experiment with something better. They figured out how to use the looper. My house sounds so cool right now

from the bottom of my heart, i am tired of everyone trying to sell me something

Kids: playing drums and guitar together

Brad: I don’t know how they go from sounding like they’re gonna murder each other to this

Me: makes sense. Oasis did it.

This might be the first course where I’m not reading the full required list. This week I was just like “okay I’m not reading this.” Like fuck this every reading says the same nothing as the last one.
