Updated to the latest Pop OS. Is funny how things look just a touch different. Curious how much of that is pure expectations.

Is social media basically answering how bad we would be informed it The Enquirer was pumped directly to everyone's personal phone? Nobody would have thought that would be a good idea. RIght?

I'm curious how folks are going to cover the WB craziness. On the one hand, obvious corruption. On the other hand, big tech.

Seeing a new attack against tech companies being that it is all ads is frustrating. Not for lack of truth to it, but this isn't unique to tech. Soap operas being easy examples for TV. Just look through a magazine and count the ads. For real fun, look into revenues from billboards.

My kids can't read cursive. Which means my kids can't read anything I write. Yay.

Ok, it is odd seeing that CostCo Connections seems to be a full publication. I confess I thought it would just be a product catalog. Nope, recipes, travel recommendations, etc.

I'm a little concerned that the saying that people look a lot like their pets fits in this picture of me...

Ok, the substack "notification" bell on standard sites appears to be completely broken for me. Bad enough that it never loads, it also seems to freeze up the frame I'm on. Lovely stuff.

And, really, I do not understand why looking down is both obviously bad for your neck, and also what had to have been the norm before computers... At least for "desk" jobs.

Is frustrating to know something is wrong when I realize I've spent any time at all worried about my desk setup. :(

Litter Robot is tracking about as well as folks at CostCo said it would. They claimed you could basically not touch it for a month. I'm assuming they had a single cat, and it is looking like this thing will fill in about a week with four.

The excitement that fellow shoppers at CostCo had for the Litter Robot was impressive.

I try not to be reflexively anti insurance setup; but it is hard not to find the standard call center of the children's hospital "press 1 if you are calling from insurance" kind of insidious.

Found my DVD copies of Darkwing Duck. Was a better time. Now to convince the kids they can only watch one episode a week. And if they aren't up in time, they missed it.

Oh wow. I guess I should have guessed it to be the case, but that fact that Hades 2 has a hidden dialog for turning off the music is hilariously awesome.

Hot take: The government is shut down because Republicans can't govern. Not because Democrats wouldn't vote for bad policy.
