Really bringing this energy
A still screenshot from the move American History X, featuring the father character (Dennis) played by William Russ. In the movie, we are brought along a Russ says seemingly innocuous things that then evolve into a deeper and more visceral racism.

Might as well use my dormant Twitter account to burn some bridges:
A screenshot of my Twitter reply to @ashtom (Thomas Dohmke). I say: Ooh nice rhyme! I have another: The evidence does show: if you can't embrace all devs, you shouldn't be GitHub CEO. I only heard about this tweet because of the near universal condemnation across all of my feeds. You may want to rethink.

So true -- it is totally breaking!
A new notification from the windows start menu with a news icon. The title is "Breaking news" and the text underneath it reads "Supreme court..." with no additional text.

On the other side of the spectrum, also picked up peach ghost pepper hot honey. So good. Also, maybe deadly? TBD!

Also picked up: a sunburn. Worth it.
A jar of almost molasses colored honey. The jar reads "peach ghost pepper hot honey".

Went to the Occoquan River Festival today with the family. Had a great time! Also, I discovered *freeze-dried Skittles*?! It's like big Skittles flavor but puffy and crunchy. I'm hooked.
A plastic tub of freeze dried skittles. They have skittle colors but look like they are expanded and have a white layer in the middle.

My body at 8pm after this week
The cover of the humorous children's book titled "Go the Fuck to Sleep". On the cover there is a family of sleeping tigers cuddles up and a human child in the middle.

LinkedIn, removing "reading the room" from its list of skills.
A screenshot of LinkedIn, with a heading that says "Sean, what role are you hiring for?" Below it is a text box for "Job title". Below that is a bright blue button that says "Draft job with AI". This is...gross.

Can confirm that it appears to accept external emails....
An email I sent to the email address in question. It states "Wanted to ensure I provide the facts. The fact that this email even exists should be a shame that follows anyone involved for the rest of their days."

Adults, get your shit together.

Me: Hey, brain, it's been an interesting few days but there's a big week coming up and you should probably get some sleep.

They're already packaged up because I had to do it now or never 😅
697 Welsh cookies. On a kitchen table, there are 3 large Tupperware bins, arranged in a pyramid. In front of the bins are 6 Ziploc gallon bags. On top of the two bottom bins are two gallon ziploc bags. And on top of the top bin are also two gallon Ziploc bags.
