The horse shadow also has only three legs and two of the leg shadows are coming from the right hind leg?

I think the shadow by Jesus is supposed to be from the basket...but I just noticed that maybe his right arm has a shadow on the other side of the basket?

It DOES get worse the more I look 😆

I hope you leave a note with it - build up the lore for when it's discovered 😆

I was wondering why one person had no shadow - I guess Jesus doesn't cast a shadow?

Got this nauseating new phrase in my email today:

"looking to enhance their offerings with our new 🤮AI Employees🤮"
(emojis added 🙃)

Can you imagine actually saying "AI Employees" and thinking you're selling something good?

I refuse to accept the Ford Flex as a station wagon.

Also, I gotta brag as a dad for a minute, because one of my son's dream project cars is a civic wagon (though he's making it tough on himself to find because he wants the same year/model that his great grandpa had).

I do appreciate American Air showing the performance for various legs of flights - but if this were one of my products, I would be ashamed!

Me to myself as I pull clothes from the dryer: A hanger is a hanger, I can use any of these for this shirt.

Me to myself as I walk to the bedroom to get the right hanger: Nope - gotta have the type that I always use for this shirt

Yep - it must be fake ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Still thinking about @noeltock.bsky.social's powerful talk this morning at #WCEU - WordPress without Borders — The Fight for Digital Freedom
The quote at the end really resonated with why I "do" open source
"I need you, my charities need you, Ukraine needs you, and the world needs you."

Haha, someone tonight at dinner said they see me on the attendee list at a lot of WordCamps - I don't go to that many, but you always see me first! 😆
