So I'm standing in a bakery, waiting for my food to be done, and I noticed a giant mixer in the background. The label on the mixer is douche-pro. Except, no it's not! It's dough e-pro. Reading skills are important!

I'm not surprised by it, but I'm still always amazed by what a huge difference it makes to put on even a thin layer of clothes. I mean, sure, a big coat will obviously warm you up, but so will some whispy pajamas (when compared to bare skin). It's wild, really.

The problem with the people in ICE is that they don't care if they have to break a few laws to get to their end goal.
So, people who are following laws to try to get them to stop will be utterly unsuccessful. You simply can't beat a cheater without cheating, especially when the gov't is behind them.

Federal agents are pulling over off duty cops based on the color of their skin.
This is not a serious operation to enforce immigration law. It’s a performative show of force and it’s gotten way out of hand.

I'm angry about everything, and I can't figure out why.
It's a new moon, so that's not it.
The world isn't falling apart any more today than it has been the past few weeks.
Nothing … makes sense.
And I even got a good night's sleep.
Maybe I just need to scream and throw a dish at a wall. For fun.

Why do scented (or, I suppose even plain wax) candles smell so much better once they're extinguished instead of while they're burning? No, for real. What's that about? #science #fire @hankgreen.bsky.social

Just finished watching Victoria on Netflix.
That was the most brutal ending ever.
Brutal.
You should watch it.

I had big plans for my weekend. But instead I did other things ... which were also important, but *sigh* not on my official list of to-do's.

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter.
I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

Mixing flexibility with stoicism is tricky, but that's the price we pay for integrity.

Do you ever have that moment where you see somebody and immediately categorize them as a senior citizen, but then you look closer and think "well, maybe they're actually only 42, but they've had a really hard life"?

Over the past several days I've oft thought "I should go to bed earlier."
The issue is that the thought tends to come to mind around 1:30am... which is far too late to get to bed "early" by any reputable standard.

The past two days I drove across a swath of the country, and it was appalling how many pro-trɥmp billboards I passed.
Why and how could anyone still possibly want to support such vile behaviors?!

Please share my misery: I was just minding my beeswax, carrying a bunch of towels/blankets I had hung out to dry. (It's warm/sunny enough, and winter is often dryer than summer. It works.)
Anyhow, my very rude nip apparently reached out and got itself ELECTRICUTED on the metal pergola.
I scröeched.

A lady told me today that her grandkid "turned autistic" after his 2y vaccinations, so they chose not to vaccinate the next child..... who is, incidentally, also autistic. Yet, she still thinks it was the vaccines.

Ahmed el Ahmed took two bullets (from the 2nd shooter) trying to protect the folks celebrating the first night of Hannukah.

An employee at #Walmart just refused to sell a beer to a man who was clearly an adult (probably in his 40s), because he didn't have a Texas ID. "I wish I could, but I'd be fired!" What the 𝑓 kind of rule is that? I sure can't find it anywhere.

I downloaded this puzzle game, right? So every puzzle I finish displays this banner.
At the top, it says "Completed," then the level number, then the sentence "You complated it."
I like the game, but I don't know how many times I can see that spelling error without going insane.

It's 12:35am on "Monday" morning.
Am I asleep? Nope. Instead, I'm relentlessly hallucinating the college-football tv theme song.
Bah-de-dun, bah-de-dun, bah-de-dun, bah-de-dun dee daaahhhh!
Shut up, brain!!

Me: orders materials
Me: wonders why it will take so long to get here, as it is shipping from Nebraska
Me: notices the tracking places it in Rhode Island.
Are they just... shipping everybody's orders one by one? I kinda expected.......................... logic.

Wow.
This... This is how some colonialist descendants actually think.
This comment was left by the brother of a friend of mine, who has descended into some version of "I am white, tall, handsome, and therefore I must also be smart, right, potent, and important" hell.
I'm appalled.
