My entire sense of humor is sarcasm, and I deliver it totally deadpan. People who know me get it, people who don't know me are usually horrified:
[USS Voyager is overrun with Hirogen hunters]
Me: See, this is why women shouldn't be captains - they just can't keep control.
At the end of the day, I love you all, even when you're being ridiculous. So keep being weird, keep being silly, and maybe try to make the world a little bit better while you're at it.
Did you know, if Mastodon says that media is βNot availableβ you can click it to load it directly from the remote instance?
Chilli has beans in it.
Dear E. Jean Carroll,
You were brave enough to stand up when almost no one else would. You were persistent enough to keep fighting when most others wouldβve quit. You spoke loudly enough to hear when so many refused to listen.
And for all of that, we thank you.
Love,
America

Dealmaster: Lenovoβs ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 10 tops our list
Plus: discounts on several Mac laptops.
True, but they're just tied up in knots about it.

Hi! I'm Wendy! I live in Seattle, raised 2 kids as a single mom, I did roller derby, started a convention, worked at a toy company, then a gaming company. Now I'm going to school full time at Seattle's Wood Tech Center for Carpentry and working full time at a Tiny House Village serving our homeless community. I'm a yearly volunteer at San Diego Comic Con and my family loves Marvel movies & Star Wars. We adopted a sweet lil forever baby, Kingston and you'll see his picture here often. I also share pictures of food that I cook when I have a single moment to do it. My youngest son is here @KalEl_CT He loves #TheOwlHouse and animation.
I hope you are all having a nice day.

Todayβs job numbers came in higher than expected, with the U.S. adding 253,000 nonfarm jobs in April. Unemployment fell yet again, to 3.4%, matching a rate not seen since 1969. Black unemployment is at an all-time low of 4.7%. For Hispanics itβs 4.4%, and for Asian Americans, 2.8%. The rate for adult women is 3.1%. Average hourly wages rose 0.5%.
This good economic news didnβt come from nowhere. The Biden administration has focused on building infrastructure, bringing supply chains home, and bolstering new manufacturing. The Bipartisan Infrastructure Act, the CHIPS and Science Act, and the Inflation Reduction Act have invested in workers.

56 years ago, a young woman secretly jumped onto the road to run the Boston Marathon.
Girls were thought too weak to run that distance. We could spend 15 hours in labor, but were too weak to run 26.2 miles. 
Kathrine Switzer paved the way for me to take up marathon running, which I did for a number of years.
She had fortitude.
And she insisted on wearing her lipstick - which I did, too.
Thank you, Kathrine!

A #London scene that I did about four years ago. Yes, I think I've mentioned I need a 12 step for Red Phone Boxes. LOL

Yeah it's fun and cute but it's a toy. Plus it probably would not be protected by copyright since it was not written by a human.

Objectively, I have no issue with that, and I'd add some kind of balancing tariff, like the US had for phone service. Everyone with a phone paid a small fee to build and expand phone service in rural areas, where the cost to provide service would make it out of reach.
But the conservatives (Republicans for me, Tories for you) would never let that stand.
I want to set out the ideas I would vote for and hope to spark a reasoned, polite debate.
Principle 1
"All services and products essential to the functioning of our society and the wellbeing of the population should be in public ownership, not for profit and all surpluses reinvested to improve the service to the consumer. That's health, education, finance, energy, water, broadband, communications, transport etc. with no opportunity for private profiteering."

I asked an AI to create an article about ESD sensitivity (something I do for work, and have done for a couple of decades). It started out all right, then went off on some weird tangent that had little or nothing to do with ESD, and ended with something about paranormal activity.
Not exactly something I'd present to a room full of PhDs and EEs.
The yogurt is looking a little furry. Best to avoid it.
Iβve been standing in front of my refrigerator looking for something to eat since 1993.
