I love her little house!

Gorgeous!

Covid booster this morning means my body thinks it’s 9:30 or 10 pm time for bed when in fact it is 7:20

I got a job because I was using Trillium to be connected to the person who needed to hire me

Still laughing at this!

I got a work email by asking for it and the only person I could email was my dad because he was a professor and had an edu. I had to include his sub-domain (gandalf, because hello, nerds)

I had the immense privilege to see his one-man “A Christmas Carol” in NYC in the 90s; so glad he’s doing this too.

I thought about it for a minute because same, but I have a very good 90s playlist on my phone, and while I did see them around (as I was also dating someone in Tribeca at the time) at the end of the day, I don’t really GAF when I have NZ murder mysteries to watch

Ooooooh! Thank you!

I meant to ask for the recipe!

I adore this

[Show a techno diagram of a pea with a label reading 'AI' pointing to a random zone in it] LIZ: Each pea has Al in a way we haven't quite worked out yet but it's fine [Show Janet and Liz now in a Matrix-style world of peas] LIZ: With Al peas you can supercharge productivity and make AI work for your peas! JANET: What LIZ: Shut up LIZ: Our game-changing Pea-Al gives you the freedom to unlock the potential of the power of the future of your peas workflow From opening the bag of peas to boiling the peas to eating the peas To spending millions on adding Al to the peas and then having to work out what that even means.

I’m a New Yorker so fuck is just an emphasis additive to the average adjective, verb, noun and sometimes I have to remember not everyone is quite so casual with it. That said the speed of “Fuck ICE” as appropriate and approved language has encouraged me

Oh yeah, every weekend from Dec to Jan that winter we had snowstorms…well before there was any possibility of working remotely

It’s still going, and it was snowing all night so…yeah. Do I think it will top 1996? Nah.

… it’s a Clive piece!
