The camera in our bedroom came on and got me at the worst possible angle; I look like a potato
I screenshot it, wrote amusing, self-deprecating comments about it and then deleted it a few times because it was too too
So I made a sketch of the me in the pic instead

I'm listening to a court proceeding for a Field sobriety test and the things they look for in the one leg stand and even in the 'walk the line' test are things I sometimes can't do while perfectly sober

I miss my parents but I don't want to talk to an AI that could only do a half-ass job of being who they really were
People are complex and not just 3D avatars of pleasant chit chat. How are they going to get my dad's low level gaycism just right? It wouldn't be him without it

This is possibly the most fucked thing I've ever seen but also the bit at the end where the grandmother is straight up being tricked into providing training content for the app feels particularly revealing.

We're messing with my bp meds and something has me minorly dehydrated; my doctor wanted me to go back to drinking an extra 4L of water a day like I did the months leading up to my kidney surgery until we stop fiddling

Two of the things I really liked about Target when I shopped there was the employees left me alone but were nearby if I needed something
I didn't stop shopping there because they were too aloof ...

"Store employees are now required to smile if they are within 10 feet of a shopper.
They also must make eye contact with and wave to or greet the customer.
If they’re within four feet, the employee should ask how the customer’s day is going or if they need help."
🙄 Won't stop the boycott, y'all.

Saw a sweatshirt I really like in the back of my closet that I don't think I wore at all last winter - so I wore it this morning to breakfast
And, now I remember. It's thick and heavy - perfect for icy days with strong winds, but a morning in the low 50s? I was melting the entire time

I love upbeat songs with dark lyrics - The Smiths and The Cure set me down that path long ago
But i've been on a tangent looking for the opposite which is harder. Dark or melancholic music with upbeat lyrics isn't done a lot unless as a cover
Love Song For a Vampire by Annie Lennox does it well
