Just over here trying to get some glaze work done and I have a giant wolf making big sighing sounds behind me because I’m not finishing fast enough for his time schedule. And you think your boss is difficult.

I just read what is happening being described as “American territorial adventurism” and if you are using the New York Times for *anything* you really need to reevaluate your life choices.

May I also recommend arting and garden.
Rough vibes on this website today, likely because people feel Hopeless and Helpless Because Can't Stop It and No One Who Is Supposed To Is Trying To So Now We're Fighting Each Other™. I recommend activities such as book, or potentially instrument if you like instrument, or even do talk on phone.

A cat-shaped ceramic vessel (200-700 CE), likely depicting a jaguar, puma, or pampas cat, attributed to the Recuay or Paracas culture from the northern highlands of Peru 🇵🇪
The vessel features an oversized, toothy grin and a bird figurine perched on its head.

I don’t know why anyone would admit to using AI. It’s like trying to pass off a microwave pizza as the real deal, only you’re bragging about how good you put the numbers into the microwave panel like that’s some sort of skill. It’s embarrassing. You should be embarrassed.

Does anyone remember the “real men don’t eat quiche” meme from like the 80s? Why was that a thing? Was quiche considered a healthy diet food for women? Cuz I just made one with like 4 cheeses and my husband seems fine and probably fatter.
