Worf's Aunt Masha from Babruysk
@mashamasha.bsky.social
This is my hometown in the pfp. I immigrated to the US in 97. Gen X, mother to two millennials. I now have two cats! One was my son's but now he's all mine. I write code for a living. Hope for my country of birth to lose the war to 🇺🇦 soon.
Not a fan of grok or Elon, but
1) my address already comes up when searching for voter registration
2) grok returned this when I asked for my first+last+"address". (I included weird snippet it gave me about writing an article that I never wrote.) FWIW 90% of its response was copied from LinkedIn.

I initially thought this was from my new Onion subscription. Rapidly building nuclear reactors with AI.
The email closes with, "Preparing you for the future!" but, if this is the future, we're all gonna die soon right?
Let the drunken orgies commence! It's the end of the world

"what did you give me? Not only did it not work, it made things worse! Give me my money back."
The Dr looks at the bottle and says, "young man, this is not what I gave you. I gave you Stay-Hard. This is Easy-Off."
I was today years old when I got this weird joke

I had my first magical Xmas at age 43. It can be done.
We'd all left religion. I'd just ended my first post-divorce relationship. The kids were at their dad's. Even the dog wasn't home. It was just me, in a treeless house, no chores to do, on the couch watching Xmas vacation and it felt glorious.

To be fair, I'm also getting strong "Hillary in the kitchen" vibes
(I love it that this was the top image search result for "Hillary in the kitchen", I didn't even need to be more specific, the search knew because everybody knows)

2022 - Google messages me on LI, also interviews me (granted I bombed both)
That's not counting nonstop messages with offers to apply for random jobs I had no interest in.
2025. What even is this? It's not a job. It's not even a real school. And they're all like that now. RIP LinkedIn.

I feel like a complete fool now because I assumed it was her way of "witnessing" to her peers and teachers; something I was also taught how to do in my brief time as evangelical (like in this photo).
This isn't the 80s anymore and what she's trying to do here is a lot more sinister, it turns out.

Oh oh come to find out I never did pay! Been using it forever, since before it was an older version. Finally decided to back it up because at this point, I have mine and others' old family recipes in there. Found out I'd been using a free version all along. That's about to change

First thing that occurred to me to look up - if a photo comes out tomorrow of me committing crimes, apparently it's on me to show that I couldn't have been in the photo, according to www.nationalsecuritylawfirm.com/understandin...

The comment that I quoted, with a few more that led up to it.
Ffs only reason I made it a quote was bc I wanted more ppl to see my question than myself and the person I was replying to; bc I already know what they would say. I wanted others to respond too.

Wanted to write that their pharmacy search now works worse than the one my team wrote for the member portal it made 5 years ago, but that would be incorrect.
Theirs doesn't work at all. Entering zip is step 1, and if that fails, it doesn't let you advance to step 2.

Followed him around the park, teeth bared and growling, for several minutes before the other dogs owner suddenly remembered they had someplace to be, put the leash back on the dog, and noped tf out of that park.
My friends, now is the time for us to be like sparky was on that day (& never since).

A friend sent me a link to his FB post with this photo of a literary magazine article that made waves when it came out (BG to follow in a 🧵).
We can do the funniest thing next summer.
Russian text of the article in the alt. Auto-translator shouldn't have trouble w it, but lmk if it does.

I know, this is ridiculous. My baby just turned 30. My mother, whose pic I'll throw in here for good measure, is 88!
We're old, and we didn't even get all the cool things we'd been promised we'd have in the future. I can now start my car without taking my key out of my pocket, but that's about it.

If this is all about preserving our personal histories in our passports for some weird reason, then let me keep this passport pic from 2003 instead of the unholy abomination I got for my passport in 2023
