Immediately followed by β€œeeeeeewwew”.

Immediately followed by β€œjust like a Jesus Taco Buttplug”

Don't know why but I've got this image of a half dozen deer pilled up around the camera with a scaffold and rope and stuff. Shouting "don't move don't move"

β€œAs the predators close in on their helpless prey, we can only watch in silent horror, for it is not man’s role to interfere in the hierarchy of nature.”

#LunarEclipse FAQ:

Q: Is it safe to look at?
A: Absolutely! Unlike a solar eclipse, there's no UNsafe time to look at a lunar eclipse.

Q: Do I need a telescope?
A: Nope! Best view is with naked eye. Just look up!

Q: Does the eclipse portend terror & doom?
A: Not at all! The news has that covered.

Screenshot of a group chat message from me:

Related: having a backlog hurts your company more than it helps
Tell me if any of this is familiar:
β€’ backlog that only grows, never shrinks
β€’ backlog grooming sessions where expensive decision makers gather for an hour to make sure backlog items are still relevant
β€’ backlog grows long enough that this gets changed to 2 hours
β€’ 15 minute argument over whether or not to keep a P3 bug fix in the backlog
β€’ creating a second backlog ("icebox") for things deemed not important enough for the backlog

I hate writing opinion blog posts but I think I might be cooking with this one.
