"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I have a series of things I don't want to do so I'm ordering them from least to most undesirable and avoiding the hardest thing by doing the less onerous thing first.

Does that make sense? Like when you do vacuuming when you have to write an email you don't want to deal with.

Anyway:

1. Dishes 2. Mortgage/refinancing 3. Clean the Guinea Pig Cage

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Cannoli men on every corner! (Next to the taco trucks)

What slate do I vote for to make this happen?

Oh, hey, I need a login for Claude. Sigh.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I feel like if we asked Mamdani nicely he might do it.

Unless you already have that in the Cannoli District, I suppose

Hour 24 of a migraine. Thankfully not with the new blackout symptoms, but still pretty awful.

Ugh, I'm sorry. Do not like.

Our wings are not tired.

I'm sorry, Atropa. Did your PCP recommend a migraine specialist?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

UGH, Atropa that sounds so awful.

I just had an incredibly creepy experience of realizing halfway through a call to schedule some plumbing work that I was almost definitely talking to a bot and not a person. The voice was realistic and there was even some call center background noise, but there was something off about the entire call and once I started paying attention I could hear "him" re-using identical phrases with identical tone and cadence (and responding very oddly to my corrections when he misheard me).

I had just enough doubt not to flat out ask "are you a human being" but I'm like 99% sure it wasn't. Do not like.
