Text from my direct report at 7am Saturday morning: “Please call me as soon as possible!!!”

I call immediately. Him: “I can’t talk right now, when is a good time to call you back?” Me:
“Just call me when you can, omg.”

Him: Calls me three hours later to take 20 minutes explaining why he needs an afternoon off two months from now.

Me: “This could have been a text, Pablo.”

Can’t tell you how disappointed I am that isn’t just a chart of increasingly tubby kittens.

He was a server in a black waistcoat, white shirt. He was brushing the ball off the table before setting plates down.

It was a ball from a kid’s ball pit, so a little bigger than a baseball, smaller than a softball.

The table was round, with a red gingham table cloth.

The orange ball on the red gingham table cloth were there immediately, once instructed to visualize a person pushing it, it only made sense that it was a server, since the table seemed restauranty.

I don’t feel like there is a big variety in vibes from episode to episode on Murder She Wrote. But if they make you happy, I’m glad they are there for you.

I’ve been watching Murder She Wrote and each episode has a “this time on Murder She Wrote” at the beginning that is kind of a convoluted spoiler for the episode. I don’t know who would want that, especially on a mystery show.

I am very bothered that the stock photo is someone smelling tulips, which have no smell.

It’s been on my mind lately because of some Trumper relatives who are currently screaming about how “Kamala Harris is a slut.”

She dated Willie Brown for a year, just before he was mayor of San Francisco in 1994. He had been separated from his wife for twelve years at that point, and she was also single when they met and started dating. Even so, the Fox News crowd is enjoying the refrain “She stole a black woman’s husband!!” (predatory promiscuity)

They also parrot the phrase “She slept her way to the top.” She was already an assistant district attorney when they met. He was the speaker of the California State Assembly and was known for handing out high paying state appointments to his friends. He appointed her to two boards- the Unemployment Insurance Appeals Board and the California Medical Assistance Commission, consecutively. Both paid well and gave her experience and connections in politics/public service, which may have helped her when she ran for and won the elected position of District Attorney fifteen years later, but certainly did not guarantee her the job.

But any excuse to be publicly racists and diminish the accomplishments of a Black woman while sexually shaming her get pounced on with enthusiasm.

Halloween is just one day/night. Spooky Season runs from early September to the beginning of November or whenever people get around to taking down their Halloween decorations. Also, it’s cute and fun.

So you’re saying that… video killed the radio star…?

Redfin has been doing this for a while. It’s like “Oh wow! That amazing property is wildly within my price range! …oh… 100% chance of flooding in the next 30 years… but only 9% chance of wildfire! I like those odds!”

Two teachers at my high school got married and both of them changed their full names. They chose a last name to share- after a saint they both resonated with, and each chose new first and middle names. They felt it marked the new chapter in their lives, that as they became one, they were both new people. They were both the young, cute, cool teachers that everyone had crushes on so we all thought it was super creative and cool.

Ooh, thanks, I’ve been wondering about getting a book light, but I haven’t used one since the '90s and they were kind of terrible then.

I didn’t understand time zones, but heard about “losing” or “gaining” hours when flying, so I thought that time moved differently while you flew, depending on if you were flying with or against the spin of the Earth.

I’m assuming it’s the person/bot that downvotes every comment in Cats. I know the admins can see votes, it would be interesting if they were outed some day.

Marionberries have a very complicated lineage.

Crumbs does not enjoy treadmill time.

For me he is giving Batard energy.
