I am such a seasonal sucker
Two boxes of Twinings flavored teas. One is called Gingerbread Joy, and one's called Christmas Tea, and they're extremely similar, almost like there's no valid reason for me to have bought them both.

So to tally it up: you're in jail, a man is dead, you've destroyed this family, and you've ruined this child's birthday for the rest of their life. All because you didn't like how someone drove. What a miserable waste. Driving should be way more of a privilege than we make it.

Strong nostalgia for the era of soundtrack hits, natural noses, and only hearing the Braxton sisters in the background

An old H&R Block ad campaign slogan: "Get your billions back America!" with the word "billions" crossed out and the word "hours" written on top of it.

Sure, Jan.gif
Excerpt from the article: "Burr said the restrictions on what comedians could say had been softened by the festival after some back and forth (Burr didn’t specify with whom). “When they first set it up, the rules on what they had about what you could and couldn’t say in Saudi Arabia, [organizers were told], ‘If you want some good comedians, this isn’t going to work.’ And, to their credit, they said, ‘All right, what do we got to do?’ And they just negotiated it all the way down to just a couple things, which were, basically: Don’t make fun of royals [and] religion.""

Seems ominous
Screenshot of a paywall. On top of the greyed out article text, there's a message in stark black lettering that reads: "You've read your last free article"

Simpsons meme: Instead of George HW Bush smiling at a stack of papers and saying, "Good memoirs ... good, not great," he is saying "Good season."

Yeah, sure. These are orders straight from the president. In his own words even.
Excerpt from the latest "Executive Order" highlighting the phrase: "They do so through a variety of fora" which is no doubt a phrase Donald Trump thought of all by himself, as he is a very stable genius.

Excuse you, but the Bennets dine with *four and twenty* families.

(But seriously this was a great read)
Excerpt: "Like most of Austen’s novels, Pride and Prejudice follows the romantic fortunes of young women living outside of London’s fashionable circle. They may travel to visit women who have married well enough to host guests, but their lives are mostly quiet and limited to the three or four families they would have grown up knowing."

Roku, what you up to?
Screenshot of my Roku home screen. On the left under a Roku logo, is a selection menu. Normally it lists: Home, Streaming Store, Search, and Settings. Today's menu features a new option highlighted in bold: the "All-Star Bundle: Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN"

LOL @ Only Connect trolling #NYTGames

Well done @vcorenmitchell.bsky.social
Dim, blurry screenshot taken of my TV in low light bc I was rushing to share my joy. Scene is the famed Only Connect wall, Victoria and three contestants standing facing it with their backs toward the camera. On the wall is a 4x4 grid of seemingly random words, including "Connections," "Tiles," "Mini," "Vertex," and "Strands". Tiles, Mini, Vertex, and Strands have all been correctly grouped together. Connections is left out in the cold.

Strange bedfellows in these days and times
Excerpt from quoted article: "Schnitt was secretly filmed by a woman he met on Hinge who works for the O’Keefe Media Group, a far-right media organization founded by Project Veritas’ James O’Keefe."

Fixed it.
A plastic bag of nuts on a grocery store shelf. The brand is Pecan Nation, and below the logo the bag says: Pea-cans * Puh-cons * Pea-cons * Puh-cans All but the term "Puh-cons" is crossed out by me with red ink, denoting the only acceptable pronunciation.

Also today I learned you can get a Bananas jersey in your team's colorway
Screenshot of a televised MLB game. White Sox pitcher on the mound, very few fans in the stands, one of whom is wearing a white jersey with "Bananas" written across the front in the South Siders' signature black script and pinstripes.

ChatGPT promises it will warn us before doing anything destructive 👍🏾👍🏾

www.theguardian.com/technology/2...
Exceprt from article: "The model has been trained to confirm with the user before it takes any kind of destructive or irreversible action. The company said in a blog: “You’re always in control. ChatGPT requests permission before taking actions of consequence, and you can easily interrupt, take over the browser, or stop tasks at any point.”
