I could hear the worry in her voice and my wife expressed how Canada supports Ukraine and we were wishing for the best outcome.
“Fuck Putin.” I said.
She gave me a genuine smile at that. I think about her often and keep sending her positive vibes.
Three years ago, my wife and I met a very shy, but strong 16 year old lady from Ukraine at the Washington airport. We all had a lay over and being Canadian, I struck up a conversation with her. She was being sent to stay in the states because it was safe, she said. 1/2
Reporter: Did the US bomb an elementary school and kill 175 people? Trump: Based on what I’ve seen, it was done by Iran. Reporter: Is that true Mr. Hegseth? Hegseth: We’re investigating. Trump: It was done by Iran. They are very inaccurate with their munitions.
this is unspeakable
I got a feeling that we won’t have to wait too long before they announce they are looking for a new communications manager.
Guess what I might be auditing soon?
me in ~2006: "I'm a computer science major, why do I have to take a class on ethics?"
me in 2026: "ah"
2026 vibe:
Hebrew is not currently supported by translation. If this isn't Hebrew, select a language to translate from.
So Bluesky now defaults to its own translation engine instead of sending you to Google Translate but it does not support as many languages as Google Translate so if you need translation for a non-supported language you now get an error before the option to launch Google Translate. Not a fan!
You should really be mad at the guy made the last couple of appointments to the Supreme Court
"No. We are not running out of missles. We have a whole bunch.... No, you cannot see them, but they are very nice."
I think I am going to set two writing goals this weekend and try to stick by them. An easy one and a hard one.
EASY: Finish two new storeis of the horror podcast and record them.
HARD: Lay out a plan to finish my collection of poems for my book, "The Rise And Fall Of Mars".
These are the 4 things AI can do well:
•Clean up your email inbox (badly)
•Give my shittiest neighbor (Alan) something to talk about at a party
•Tell a 12 yr old to kill himself
•Incinerate a school at 10:16 AM on a Tuesday
You can see why we need to base our economy around it
My goal was not to change the way my burger was made when I returned it, but to get something that is not the same as the burger I recieved.
Vibe coding at its best!
Maybe this is the weeknd I try to get back to writing fiction again.
It pushes it over 100 percent because you used two arguments to convince met:
(a) “I can’t be racist because I have a minority friend/spouse” arguement.
(b) Minorities can be racist/nazis/fascist too.
Odds are his wife shares his beliefs as well.
You really do suck at this.
I remember being in a work meeting where the head of messaging actually came over the table to try and punch the head of networks.
Never been in a meeting as good as that one since.
anyone not befriending sex workers is missing out on some of the nicest and also smartest friends you could have
No.
If we have to let them, I would also argue there must be a strict penalty for any customer who waits until they are at the cash to decide what they want.
You can’t fool me. It is the same creep except he is wearing glasses in one picture.
“Anyone got ideas on how to keep gas prices low?”

Firefly, the show that lucked into a cultural niche because B5 was over, Farscape was ending, Trek was the in the toilet and Battlestar hadn't begun. It's Not Good, It's Just On™
Arrow Video just dropped this extra special new release!
I still have to see it. Part of me has hope that there is a crazy concept here that will make this movie enjoyable.
I cannot tell you how long I have waited for a top quality transfer of Excalibur. Love this damn film.
Blu ray discs of The Last Starfighter, Excalibur, and Conan The Barbarian.
This week has been hell at work and my body can really feel the stress.
However, I am prepared for movie marathon of pure joy this weekend.
One of my most unpopular opinions is that Firefly wasn’t that great of a show.
I couldn't stop laughing when I saw the annoncement. It had to be the fact he is in one of the safest senate seats, so replacing him means the GOP shouldn't lose it.
I thought I had to go look up what the "Shield Of The Americas" was and as I suspected, I really did not have too.
It's a make-believe gathering where some of the worst leaders in the Western Hemisphere line up to stroke a fragile little man's ego.
If you're at the airport and Kristi Noem is doing the ominous little message from the TSA screens, you no longer have to do anything she says. Leave your laptop in the case, whatever.
