Tonight's Mad Men Mood is pissed-to-be-pregnant Betty Draper eating a cold fried chicken leg while sitting on the kitchen counter after getting home from fucking a hot stranger in a bar in the middle of the Cuban Missile Crisis.

Truly one of my fave sounds: the twin teens talking and laughing together even though I said go to bed an hour ago.

An area where it feels like the general public and actual doctors wildly diverge is: doctors don't take tamiflu or seek it out for their families (mostly due to side effects and minimal benefit), but the average person thinks tamiflu is a magical flu cure.

The whole "Grok admits" "Grok apologizes" thing reminds me of the famous IBM presentation quote that evidently everyone has forgotten. And I do think representing your brand on social media counts as a "management decision".

My FIL and MIL have def been on a trip there (not recently). Once, on a different visit to Eureka Springs, AR, Jon did not allow me to accompany his parents to the creationist museum there because he feared the things I would say on the tour. I had already mocked the Jesus statue enough.
Measles may have been spread at a Noah’s Ark-themed creationist museum in Kentucky earlier this week, the state’s health authority said.
Health Authorities Issue Measles Alert at Creationist Museum

Usually I just do prep and peace out on Fridays, but we had a lot of resos on the books so I stuck around, ended up there til 8:30. New shucker would have been *fucked* if I hadn’t.

I don’t think there are “harmless” ways to use the evil AI machine billionaires are shoving into everything for evil purposes, actually. There are cases where the benefits may exceed the harms, but anything that further enriches the tech oligarchs is not “harmless.”

Everyone talks about the unreasonable standards of thinness depicted by the stars of Wicked, which is valid, but I also need to know if others find Ariana Grande’s false eyelashes so ridiculous as to be a distraction throughout the film.

You aren’t meant to be this disciplined, this self-sacrificing to survive. The environment is supposed to support good living. We can have that. You are not a failure. That is politics.

Happy New Year, friends! I have some ~personal news~, which is that the Bluesky team is generously giving me some contract work (which could possibly turn into a job) welcoming more indie media and local govt to Bsky and supporting those already here.
Excited to take my amateur Bsky boosterism pro!

Decided to kick off the new year with a tiny closet purge. Tried on ALL of my pants, pulled out all that didn’t fit because my body has changed this year, and pants that don’t fit right make me grumpy. Also pulled out a few items that just don’t get worn.

I've got at least one pair of $600+ boots-- my mom gave me a pair of Lucchesse cowboy boots that used to belong to her friend. I've also got like 4 pairs of Fryes that can be almost that expensive-- I think buying handmade goods that last is perfectly consistent with socialism.
