Well, shit.

We've lost Catherine O'Hara, Dolly Parton, Tim Curry, and just today, Tom Skerritt. Yet SOME people are still holding on...

Well, shit.

Has anybody considered that Trump may think it's the "Piece Prize"? "I've turned things into more pieces than anybody! Things people thought couldn't be broken, I pulverized into jigsaws! I deserve the Piece Prize, dammit!" www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

One problem: They're not Data Centers (storage centric) they're PROCESSING Centers (CPU/GPU centric). Massively more resources for the latter. We've had Data Centers for decades. We've only had Processing Centers for a few years. And all the latter if good for is Ai, different AI, and more AI.

Yes. We C your BS.

Well, Double Shit.

Well, shit.

Well, shit.

Well, shit.

"I Want a New Drug" came on the radio on the way home. Is there -anything- more subtly joyful than listening to a truly great song while belting out the original and Weird Al's lyrics at the same time?

Nobody talks about how biased the TSA is to solids! Liquids and gases are severely restricted! Solids get a free ride! They won't say it out loud, but you know they're not letting any plasma past! Bose-Einstein Condensates? We might as well have lost the Civil War with how they're treated!

Seems like this could be appropriate some time or another...

Well. Double shit.

Could anybody seriously inform me of the difference between liberals and progressives? In my fifties and proudly identifying as liberal... but am regularly told that "I'm part of the problem" and that I should "become progressive". I've yet to have any real difference explained to me.

Well. Shit.

As terribly, horribly, horrifically bad things are can you imagine how infinitely worse they'd be if anybody in this administration was actually competent?

Well, shit.

For SOME reason lately, I keep remembering "The American Scream" (from Peter Milligan's amazing run on "Shade the Changing Man").

I ordered a gallon of pressure washer soap from Sam's Club and the website tried to convince me to add a three-year Protection Plan.

The things we criticize as amoral, devolutionary, and uncivilized they praise as decisive, just, and warranted. The things we praise as empathetic, accepting, and enriching they criticize as destructive, indulgent, and unfair. Isn't that the core issue?

I don't know sportsballs, but I believe that a "touchdown" is good, right? Does that make a "touchup" bad? And is this reversed if you're talking about make-up?

Finished reading "Project Hail Mary". I loved it but am a bit annoyed that there were ZERO spoiler warnings for the movie! Do better, publishers!

How can you trust somebody that doesn't already know what they'd wish for if a genie showed up?

Well, shit.

It's weird how many ways Americans know how to say "thank you" in other languages when they really need to learn how to say "I'm sorry".

Going through old projects and found this...

Does the Superbowl sneak up on anybody else? As in, "Have people been really weird for the past few days?" and "Why is the take-out place so busy?" Then a friend texts "Did you see that commercial?" and after a brief exchange you figure it out.

Well, shit. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Okay. THIS year I'm going to buckle down and get started on the snow shoveling in August instead of leaving it all until Winter!

Them are mine! I MADE them!

My (tall, grown) son is closing up the AC vents for winter: "I need a different tool, this one is too big." I responded immediately (as is the LAW): "That's what she said!" He rolled his eyes and said, "2008 was SO great."

We need a lightbulb that makes people aware of their hypocrisy. But, dammit, we'd also need a water additive that would make them ashamed of it...

East Wing debacle has surfaced that The Commission of Fine Arts, "an independent federal agency charged with giving expert advice [...] on matters of design and aesthetics...", has an INCREDIBLY shitty logo. #BadDesign #CrackerBarrelDidItBetter

My son's closing up the AC vents for winter: "I need a different tool, this one is too big." I responded immediately (as is the LAW): "That's what she said!" He rolled his eyes and said, "2008 was so great."

Mr Trump, I know it made you feel "super extra duper sad", but we really need to understand: can you show us where Canada touched you on this map?

Imagining one of those clichéd, tension-building shots where the camera at ankle level slowly tracks up the body to reveal... whoever supposed to be surprising. Except in mine, when the camera hits the waist it starts tracking up another pair of legs and ends with some upside shoes. #WhereIsMyOscar

Asking for a friend: when does this cross the line from being "purposefully obtuse" to "clear evidence of dementia"?

I can't remember where I heard it originally, but "If your best defense is that some action isn't -technically- illegal, you should reconsider that action."

Today is "World Teacher's Day" and I'm proud a pig in shit of my daughter, Matilda, in her second year as a second grade teacher! #WorldTeachersDay

Charlie Kirk should not have been shot. Political violence is abhorrent. Charlie Kirk was a family man with a loving wife and two children. Charlie Kirk was an absolute prick who he considered other people's suffering an acceptable sacrifice. All of the above can be true at the same time.

I've said it before, but it bears repeating: As a lifelong proponent of thoughts, I don't like seeing them get tangled up in this "prayers" nonsense.

If I had a nickel for every time I needed a nickel, I wouldn't have any nickels. @cgpgrey.bsky.social

Heard something the other day: "AI lets the wealthy access skill while preventing the skilled from accessing wealth." Now, I'm not sure I completely agree with that, but in AI's defense...

I am a Blue Blaze Irregular. That is all. #BuckaroosInTrouble

Screw you, bi-lateral symmetry, I need another hand here!

Everybody with a wiener dog thinks THEIR wiener dog is the BEST wiener dog. #BestWienerDog
