High-speed grocery-shopping is my superpower. I should put it on my LinkedIn profile.
I just got off the phone with AT&T customer service.
Years ago, I accidentally slammed a car door on my fingers.
The two experiences were extremely similar.
Here’s something I saw while walking the dog.
Sleep is weird and magic.
We sleep more than we do anything else.
We spend a third of our lives in a state of death, much of that time dreaming, wandering around in a spirit world. Much of that dreamtime we are not even ourselves.
Then we wake up and spend the rest of our lives pretending we live in a rational universe that makes sense.
Today’s memes: Stop thinking that you are ugly
I walk across the deck between my office and the kitchen a million times a day, and sometimes, when I leave the kitchen, Minnie is lying outside my office door. She clearly wants something, but I have never been able to figure out what it is.
Into my office with me? No. Pats? She’s fine with pats, but that’s not what she really wants.
I go inside and close the office door with her outside, and she clearly looks disappointed.
I finally figured it out just now: She wants me to go back to the kitchen and let her in. So I did.
I wish she’d give me a treat when she has successfully trained me in a behavior.
I cannot be arsed to keep up with culture wars bullshit now. Like, there is a young woman named Sydney Sweeney who is I guess famous for something and is super-attractive and hot and she wore a low-cut gown on TV and this killed wokeness?
Also, the Congresswoman who gave the Republican rebuttal to the State of the Union is a Stepford Wife and she made up a story about sex trafficking in the US under Biden that actually happened in Mexico 20+ years ago?
I’ve seen articles pointing out exactly where the Royal Family photos were clumsily edited, and I still don’t see the problems. I guess I just have a bad eye for that kind of thing.
Today I learned that if you spill a nearly full cup of fresh hot coffee on your lap, it doesn’t hurt a lot and doesn’t leave a stain but the pants take a surprisingly long time to dry.
Profile of Steve Nikoui, the Gold Star father arrested for protesting at the State of the Union last week. [timesofsandiego.com] — Nikoui’s son, “Camp Pendleton Marine Lance Cpl. Kareem Nikoui, [was] one of the 13 service members killed near the airport in Kabul during the August 2021 withdrawal from Afghanistan.”
“He was born the same year [the war] started, and ended his life with the end of this war,” the elder Nikoui has said. Nikoui has said Biden used the slain Marine as a publicity pawn.
Heartbreaking what this man has gone through.
