Ugh called movers and they have an AI "receptionist." I knew my career days were over but I so rarely have a classic "they took mah jerb" moment
Have hit the wall and admitted defeat to my movers. Have never had to do this alone. Am going to sleep for a couple of hours and then resume panic.

Am I going to make it in time for the movers' schedule? Probably not. Am I going to end up driving a uhaul 750 miles? I'd like to avoid it but it might be my solution. We'll see first thing in the morning when I call the movers LOL

What's your favourite song about the rain?
There's probably more, but this was the one my brain found first. (And look at these babies! This was around the time I saw them open for Billy Idol)

That moment 13 hours before your movers' arrival window when you've run out of packing tape, or at least misplaced a bunch of it. Probably already packed and taped up LOL sob

Dear Whoever Used My Email Address To Buy Their Porn:
Thanks for at least not using any of my other info, and thanks for paying for it without my further involvement. Also thanks for the distraction, I don't need every tiny crumb of focus today as the hours to mover arrival tick past.
Love, me

i think online gambling is a cancer that is spreading throughout our society, it was a horrible mistake to de-regulate it, and we desperately need to crack down on it again
i can’t talk about sports gambling anymore without sounding like a crank but i do believe legalized sports gambling is like 15-20% responsible for our current dystopia
The Athletic polled hundreds of players from across the NBA, NFL, MLB and NHL about their opinions surrounding how sports betting impacts players — the responses were haunting.

Recently visited the Glass Flowers at Harvard, a collection of 4,300 extraordinarily realistic glass models of plants crafted by the Blaschkas, a father and son team of sculptors
That’s right, these are all made primarily of GLASS — a fact difficult to accept given how accurate & lifelike they are

If you try to talk to modern politician or civil servant about a public good, they look at you like you've grown a second head. The idea that, eg, the post office should do nothing more than offer guaranteed timely delivery everywhere for a modest fee is incomprehensible.

I've been watching this attitude in boardrooms for a while: the idea that it's not just unwise but *immoral* to "leave money on the table", and that investors aren't just expecting but are *entitled to* a 14% ROI. It's not even a "they took to the risk so they deserve the reward" anymore.

We've raised an entire generation of politicians who's take on things is "if it makes money, it's good". It's the end-game of the neoliberal era, where everything, literally everything, is evaluated based on ROI.
It's the "shareholder value" bullshit, but applied to society as a whole.

steam is apparently allowing "this game had AI in it that it didn't disclose" as a valid return statement, so if you or anyone you know actually paid $70 for slop, get that money back
Insulting to the players, insulting to the IP, insulting to the medium, the developers. And the craft itself. Fuck you executives who pushed this garbage.
