I just ordered an air fryer. (Insert rationalizations here.) We’ll see how this goes and if I really end up using it.
It’s painful watching the slow death spiral of the social network formerly known as Twitter. It’s almost as if Musk is purposely trying to sabotage it. Does he get a tax write-off if it goes under?
Black Friday and Thanksgiving leftovers ,,, Pfft. These must not interfere with Frozen Pizza Friday which is part of the natural order of things
Mastodon just keeps getting better. It’s not the software, it’s about finding the right people and hashtags to follow.
I’m not looking forward to 2024 as an election year. It will be like crawling on broken glass. Every. Single. Day.
I’m betting that Artificial Intelligence (AI) will be better at creating crazy, convoluted, conspiracy theories and false information than humans. Eventually it will become so hard and take so long for humans to fact check these AI generated lies that we just give up on Truth altogether.
Sort of like now but bigger, fatter, faster, slimier and with more cowbell.

I went to the supermarket at 6:00 AM and there were only, five other customers in the store. Pure bliss.
