The T-Day code freeze must be over at Google because this is hilarious 😂
This is a photo of a smart TV with Google TV plugged in displaying a "test" on the TV platform showing thumbnails for the following movies: Superman, The Fantastic Four: First Steps, and The Bad Guys 2. The test is showing what looks like clipart test with 3 blue check marks, one red x, a pen, and half of a clock. Test is a word shown 3 times, one above the faux test template and two above the superman movie thumbnail. The two tests are "TEST" and "test" with the lowercase under the uppercase.

I'm just meal prepping and canning this weekend. Made some chicken and turkey stock and now it's in the pressure canner. If you're going to can, please use safe and tested recipes so you don't off someone with botulism. NCHFP says 25 minutes for meat stock for my elevation.

The CEO and President of BGE is literally telling people to look at what lightbulbs they're using to lower their energy bills.....

For most customers, these credits will be modest, but for qualifying households struggling with past due balances, the assistance could provide significant relief. High demand for bill help created website errors when the BGE Customer Relief Fund application opened on Tuesday. United Way of Central Maryland, the non-profit organization assisting with the disbursement of these funds, has since fixed these technical issues, but the overwhelming response highlights just how many customers are struggling to pay their utility bills. "We saw a huge uproar in constituent complaints," said People's Counsel David Lapp, who heads the independent agency protecting residential utility customers. In response to pressure from customers receiving higher bills, the Maryland General Assembly passed the Next Generation Energy Act, which authorizes $200 million in refunds for BGE customers. "There's two credits, one that will come at the end of the summer and another that will come next winter," Lapp explained. All active cust…

Nah. Ultra taking care of our pets isn't raising our vet bills. Vets taking their lives is. Inflation is. Vets closing their offices is. Cost of living is. Not me buying them pup cups. My pets aren't my kids, but if you don't do justice by a dog in a book, I'm not reading it.
Screenshot of threads post by erinleeauthor to indieauthors saying, "I killed a dog in my book & said there's no afterlife. Then I watched a writing video that said pets can have big roles in books so be careful. & A beta reader asked me if a dog dies & said she checks a site with a list of books to avoid. Then a saying app guy said my afterlife rule was a "hard pass" & dipped. Damn, people. Dog culture is dire. They're a great pet, but still acting like they have little moons orbiting then. Your behavior is raising our vet bills. They're not a child. Chill."

me during my journey to become one of the best Black women throwers in the axe community. I'm just excited to have people in my corner and believe in me. Stay tuned as I document this while also still navigating being Black in tech with lovely people who also support me there.

Thursday, the Enoch Pratt Library hosted Eve to talk about her memoir and had BSL/ASL interpreters. It was glorious and she was amazing.
