2/3 of the way through. I should have done the West Wing second in retrospect… if I get bored I’d have an excuse for not finishing.

My grill buddy is back. The donut and muscle shirt come off tomorrow… he’s recovering from having a huge tumor removed from his underside. He still acts like nothing happened.

I do appreciate the company even though he can’t do much to help with grilling.

Someone at ScotRail is hipper than I am. I had to look up Oasis’ discography to get the references. 👨🏻‍🦳

Meanwhile, this was front page news in the Lake County News Herald today.

Uhhhh... no.

(I did figure it out; it's what kind of tires they're using) #CanadianGrandPrix #F1

I didn't think I'd get to use this so quickly...

This seems to sum up the BlueSky experience for a lot of people, unfortunately. Things do suck right now, but let people have their genuine moments of happiness.

Can anyone explain to me what happened on my Clipper card today? I was doing a test bike/train trip to work to see how hard it will be to commute by e-bike. CalTrain must think I'm crazy. I think the net result is that I paid $5.45 for a one-way trip?

How many lakes were boiled to come up with this piece of utter brilliance?

(my daughter reported it as 'not helpful' which feels about as useful as a letter to the editor.)

@kairyssdal.bsky.social @kimberlyadams.bsky.social This is how Apple Intelligence summarized Marketplace today. Maybe it's time I turned that off.

News from Santa Clara University. I realize students have been pulling pranks probably ever since universities started, but now every student around the world can pull the same prank at once. We've come so far!

Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #225,833! Maybe I should post some more....

I'm making mushrooms right now. If you're supposed to rinse them first, do you just wring/blot them heavily first before putting them in the pan or let it all steam off?

I think my pan was too hot... they are yummy, though.
