*Looks at latest writer-related scandal* Makes notes for 2023 behavioral standards: do not fake my own suicide and have family cover for me, while blaming other writers for causing my demise by being mean to me, then “come back from the dead” a year or two later after fundraisers, grieving, etc. and announce any version of: “Hey, how’s it going? I’m fine.” o_O https://jezebel.com/novelist-appears-to-announce-shes-alive-2-years-after-f-1849949521
lost and found cleanout time is upon us yet again.
I'm doing the easy stuff first, which today means
-- 39 water bottles off to Goodwill and;
-- two unopened, king-sized, Hershey chocolate bars off to the office snack table.

Coworker warning re the chocolates at work: they're cordials.

"I'm sick of people bashing the obvious utility of NFTs. The ease with which I can look at a person's profile, see their involvement with NFTs, and then identify them as a blood sucking sociopath is revolutionary." - Bad Money
I've never been able to afford the definitive edition DVD sets, but I guess I'm going to have to start saving up, if they're even still available. This walled garden, back-catalog hoarding is BULLSHIT.
Dammit. Hulu put the Twilight Zone behind an impossible paywall so now I can't follow along with the SyFy marathon. This SUCKS.
Well, cleaning your oven with nothing but a paste made of baking soda and water actually does work as effectively as the internet says. Not having to deal with harsh chemicals was pretty nice, actually.
Well, nuts. It looks like the Korean restaurant isn't doing their New Year's platter this year. Bummer.
Holiday baking is winding down and I have definitely made too much.

I will add that masking/distancing/vaccination is all good, but what we REALLY need is forced PM2.5 air filtration in all public spaces. Schools, hospitals, universities, shops, restaurants, cinemas: on trains, buses, planes, and passenger ships. And ESPECIALLY schools and hospitals. These premises have always been viral disease amplifiers, but filtration stops it spreading at source.
I think Zuckland is burying my holiday baking posts and I am unsure how to reach the people I need to contact for baking preferences.

Mastodon gets un-suspended and then goes for the posterizing dunk right out of the gate #tech #socialmedia
I am watching Queer Eye Brazil and Queer Eye Germany and they are exactly the same as the English Queer Eye. How is it that this is the visual media format that transcends language and culture?
The company holiday lunch was tasty, but now even my eyeballs are nauseated.

PSA: you can once again order free COVID tests from the US government.
I ordered myself some Blackwing 602s as an early christmas present.
And the follow-up is "As long as people still promote Rocky Horror Picture Show, I doubt it will happen," so, I'm pretty sure "decent" in this context doesn't refer to performance or costume quality.
Zuckland is so strange sometimes, if my family wasn't there I don't know that I'd stay.
