It's time to write some bannable books.
I just sent an email to myself (I sometimes use them as reminders), and my office computer is asking whether or not I trust the sender.
I'm not sure how to respond.

Priorities? (That question mark is crucial.)

Whenever I receive an email that makes me angry, I wait a day before responding. This gives me time to really stew about it overnight and ensures that my response the next day is absolutely savage.

I can't see very well without my glasses, so when I take them off while I'm at the gym, I have to move my eyes around a lot in an attempt not to accidentally stare at people.

It’s been a rough week here in America, but in case it helps, my cat has become endlessly fascinated with my very-much-amateurish yo-yo tricks.
He particularly loves my Yomega Fireballs, Duncan Butterfly, and Duncan Bumblebee moves.
I need these, too, right now.
Perhaps we all need such relief.

Weird question, but did @wired.com get hacked?
I was trying to manage my subscription online right about an hour ago, and I just got a notice from @lifelock-identity.bsky.social that my Wired-related info was leaked to the dark web.
I love Wired--just want to be safe here...

For the first time ever (for me), I saw a Southern flying squirrel in the wild tonight. It glided across a road into a tree, which it then climbed around to hide from my flashlight.
It’s not much, I know, and they’re pretty common, but I’ll take any good news I can get right now.

It’s only the seventh day of Christmas, y’all—we’re just now at the swans—so let’s slow down on the undecorating.
We’ve got five days and many more bizarre gifts from our true loves to go.

The good news is that we’re moving into a space that’s haunted. 👻

Dystopian sci fi in which an actual person delivers your food to your table, answers your call, rings your doorbell.
Yeah, that’d be nice.
Maybe that’s just for rich people.
