Had a tough, brook no idiots, dog (Merriweather). She developed a terrible neck rash...pin prick scabs.
Set up a vet visit.
Before visit, noticed the puppy (Ripley) playing by hanging from M's neck with her sharp, pointy puppy teeth; M tolerating it! "Illness" solved; vet visit canceled. #dogs

When my last dog, Ripley, died I put the remainder of the dog food outside to feed the animals. & I imagined the reactions of my three girls.
Ripley: I hope they enjoy it
Merriwether: It was mine! It is mine! It will always be mine!
Ash: Excellent! They have fallen into my trap. #dogs

#landline Woot! Spouse finally agreed to killing our landline. I think what tipped her over the edge was when I found out it could only receive calls and not make calls (Verizon messed something up) AND we have no idea how long that has been going on (I suspect over a year).

F*cking love the EFF (and am a contributor). The ads #amazon showed were crap anyway, and I killed all the advertising data they collect on my, too. #EFF
Happy Amazon Prime Day! Amazon collects mountains of data about how you use the service, but there is a setting you can change to make it harder for the company to use that data to sell you more things. #OptOutOctober www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

Remember when technology, and robots in particular, was supposed liberate us from work and other mundane things in life so we could enjoy life and barely work? Now, the reality is that they will be turning a huge swath of our populace into Morlocks. #endstagecapitalism

Tech companies used to be view as forces for societal good. Now they are simply self-absorbed wrecking machines. OpenAI's Sora2 debacle was easily foreseen. Sam Altman simply made the decision that the blowback was worth the risk, and found he was wrong, and backtracked. #openAI #techbros

One of the first things I learned from my staff when I became a CIO was the term "picnic;" the acronym (or if you're a pedant, initialization) Person In Chair, Not Computer. Conversation would go:
Me: How'd the support call go with the Finance VP?
Technician: Was a picnic. #informationtechnology

What I love about the American healthcare system? The fact that my doctor retired, and so I'm seeing his replacement, and I'm getting charged for the privilege. Maybe if you're changing doctors because your old one retired, it shouldn't be a charge. #healthcare

Spouse: since you hate the flowers in the front patch we'll tear them up.
Me: what I said: they're encroaching on the heirloom roses; let's push them back?
Spouse:it should only be a couple of hours. & save the tubers to plant them elsewhere #gardening
