The world sucks ass but I discovered I can buy Jarritos in bulk at Costco and that makes it slightly more tolerable.

Diabetic medical device stickers are prime licensing targets. None have any licensed sports team logos that I can find.
Screenshot from the ExpressionMed 2025 Sizzle Reel showing several designs of new sticker art. The stickers are applied around CGM sensors and are used to ensure the device remains attached to the user during activity.

I'm a fan of starting from crossbar level as in diagram 2 here.
Six extremely cursed diagrams of how to write a capital letter A.

This was successful at holding the ennui at bay for several minutes while I scoured my brain trying to remember the last 25 years.
My ballot for the NYT 100 Best Movies of the 21st Century ranking. It includes - in no particular order - RRR, The Grand Budapest Hotel, Spirited Away, Pans Labyrinth, Barbie, Everything Everywhere All at Once, 1917, Master and Commander, Best in Show, and The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Rings.

Some of y'all can't handle two high agency males going at it and it really shows
Scene from the movie Raising Arizona featuring John Goodman and Nicolas Cage. Goodman is seated behind the steering wheel of his car covered in blue dye from a failed bank robbery and Cage is leaning into the car with a gun against Goodman's head.

December 22, 2016 Tweet by Gerry Adams: This house is like Santa's Grotto. Takes half an hour 2 switch off fairly lights and assorted Yule illuminations. Feel like a Grinch now. Reply tweet from EddieIzzard'sBeret: Surely you know someone who can fit a timer.

Is this bad? This seems bad.

Ha ha ha ha oh man we are so screwed.
A chart from the University of Michigan Research Seminar in Quantitative Economics that shows net GDP change over the last 8 quarters. The GDP contracted during the first quarter of 2025 due largely to a massive reduction in net experts.

Spiritfarer had many extremely emotional moments, but when I discovered what was ACTUALLY going on in it I had to get up and stare out the window for a while.
A cartoon image of a girl in a star shaped hat hugging an anthropomorphic lion in a small boat. The water is red from the setting sun and the trees and sky are bright and washed out from the light shining directly at the viewer. The Spiritfarer is delivering another soul to the other side and is saying her final goodbye.

Today's #ChatitibundiBowl donation recognizes the 2,550 statute miles my wife and child will cover on a charter bus to get to Houston and back for the FIRST Robotics Championship. The things we do for #omgrobots. @edsbs.bsky.social @newap-georgia.bsky.social

Oops forgot the proof.

Salzburg is a pretty cool city. I highly recommend it. 10 out of 10, would absolutely solve a problem like Maria there again.

Look at this affront to God and good taste I love it so much.
A green and red plaid flannel shirt. It looks like yuletide vomit or maybe some sort of tragic lawn mowing accident.

Mad about this, honestly. There are so many people who I am entirely losing contact with because they don't feel a need to leave. For better or worse, Facebook kept me connected to a lot of people.

Oh for Pete's sake, apparently I have hurt this person's feelings and they have detached their past.
Screenshot of the post that has been detached. It's complaining about how LA schools turned down an offer for a small number of air purifiers from an unknown outside organization.

It's worse than that. It's based on this Heartland Institute report where they ran a super bad survey with Rasmussen and then extrapolated.
