I asked Claude a question and it said it needs to research the question. While it says research complete, it hasn’t actually and the hours are counting down. It started at 720 hours. I think I’ll wait it out and find out in a month.
A screenshot of Claude’s readership widget. It says research complete with 0 sources and 711h 18m

6 image panels from Star Trek voyager. The first image is a uniform pip, the black filled one. The next picture is of when captain janeway gives Tom Paris the pip with the caption “I hereby reinstate you to the rank of Lieutenant”. The next panel is of janeway putting it on Tom with the caption “your performance on this ship over the past year has been exemplary” the next panel is of Harry Kim at his station saying “I didn’t notice a pip on my chair”. The second to last panel is janeway looking annoying in her ready room desk. With the caption “here is your pip” the last panel is of a PADD with the words “Performance Improvement Plan”

"Political landscape chart showing my position relative to Australian political parties. A two-axis grid displays economic views (left to right) horizontally and social views (conservative to progressive) vertically. I appear left-of-center and moderately progressive, closest to the Greens (GRN) who are further left and more progressive. The Australian Labor Party (ALP) sits center-right economically and near the social center. The Liberal National Party (LNP) appears right economically and moderately conservative socially. One Nation Party (ONP) is positioned furthest right economically and most conservative socially."​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ "Chart showing my policy alignment with Australian political parties. I have highest agreement with the Australian Greens (92% agree, 8% disagree), followed by the Australian Labor Party (58% agree, 42% disagree). I show significant disagreement with the Liberal-National Coalition (29% agree, 71% disagree) and Pauline Hanson's One Nation (17% agree, 83% disagree). Each party's logo and abbreviation appear alongside horizontal bars visualizing the percentage breakdown."​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Someone has decided that the AirCon is too cold and is now cuddling in a blanket.
There is the head of a small head of a chihuahua who has a brown head. His head is snuggled in a multi coloured blanket.

My sister is looking for jobs and came across this glorious nugget of a role with some PTO that made my jaw drop. (Yes, she is in the states)

Either this is an error or Spotify is telling me that my Duo subscription is not going to be valid eventually.
It is a message from Spotify. White text on a green background. It reads “it’s time for everyone to have their own premium account. Spotify premium family is available for more than three accounts under one roof. Keep the kids tuned seperate and let your library be fire you.” With a button that says “got it”

Today I learned you can lose the Apple TV remote power button.
Close up photo on the Siri Apple TV remote. The focus is where the power button would be located. However in this photo the power button in missing and you can see the internal button.

Me trying to do fancy Ruby (to automate things with fastlane).
A screenshot of a slack message I’ve sent that reads “How did it work on my machine?! I’ll stick to compiled languages, I am bad at scripted.” Ended with a winking emoji.

For next time you have that annoying person tells you they are doing their best.
A waterfall with white text over it that says: you’re doing the best you can. Which is kind of embarrassing.
