Just the orange baboon saying once again that this is for reals the really really really really last chance Iran has to avoid a really really really really bad outcome.

When you ask your Indian bestie to have his parents send you some pickle from Hyderabad…you know it’s gonna burn. This is the stuff.
Something is amiss. I find this whole thing suspicious. www.bbc.com/news/article...

When your spouse asks you for the third time, is this sugar? 
Every morning these days begins with the question of what the fuck am I going to do with all of these tomatoes? Today we’re going to make tomato jam, and then I have a whole bunch of cherry tomatoes that I haven’t decided yet, but I’m sure we’ll figure something out. 
I mostly use ChatGPT to collect organize my thoughts without having to type things up, and then be able to recall. But it’s important to not get lazy as I just had it false remember a set of instructions involving my pool pumps, which could’ve damaged my system if I hadn’t questioned what it said. 
Awaiting the “OpenAI/Anthropic” hacking story where their lovable scamp agents takedown 20M Nest thermostats or 40M appliances in the middle of a heatwave/winter. Oopsie.

I think a lot of people tend to interpret AAPL through the wrong lens in how they view the iPhone as this one Trick pony they have to expand beyond. Our smartphones have without a doubt become the most important computing device of our lives. We simply cannot live without them. 🧵
JFC outside right now. Luckily, it’s 78° inside which feels remarkably cool. The underfloor cooling is even better if you lie on the floor.
Never imagined in my teens being told that we would reach peak creativity and educational achievement, and would halt encouraging people to be further educated and instead just everyone becomes a plumber because “computers”. What are we doing?
Every Tik Tok garden video: and here’s how to increase your tomato yield this year —- no thank you, I’ve got kilos and kilos of them already. What am I opening a restaurant?
“If you’ve been scammed just text Yes, along with your name, address, Social Security number, date of birth, mothers maiden name…”
The visible contempt that the rich have for the poor these days is astounding. I’m pretty surprised they aren’t all hiding in bunkers.
I did manage to get some of our tomatoes done today. Roasted, canned cherry, puttanesca, romana sauce frozen, and two trays of frozen tomatoes. Now I just have like 800 eggplant and zucchini.
Every child for generations has a rite of passage where they discover baking chocolate in the pantry.
Also, by the way, the garden center mislabeled cucumbers as melons, so I now have planted six times the amount of cucumbers your average human being could ever consume in the course of two years, and I have zero melons. I learned this when I saw a strange, looking melon resembling a cucumber.
Gardens be like: hey here’s one bean and two zucchini for you to enjoy. Four weeks later: here are all the vegetables an entire school of children could possibly eat in the course of a year and they’re already today. I’ve had to buy two extra freezers.

Off to a bad start. Shower doesn’t drain. Slight panic moment. Otherwise all is good.
Wife and I are now on holiday…staying at our own guest house to test it out.

Guest house is done. Nearly decorated and put together. Cute as fuck. I almost want to move in.
Please remind me, but I thought the Supreme Court said he couldn’t do his tariffs anymore?
When will this administration finally do some thing about the illegal smoke crossing from Canada? Why do we not have a wall of air filters protecting us?
When I’m raking up the grass clippings, or washing the 800th head of lettuce from the garden, I remind myself at least I’m not on a zoom call.
In other news, yesterday, I came across my first instance of an AI generated artist in Apple Music, a place I thought I would never see this. Get your shit together. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/16/t...

The orange bloat in the White House basically says we’ve destroyed the Iranian military, and yet can’t seem to convince the Iranian military of this, nor the ships that need to pass through the strait.
My old man ”when I was a kid uphill both ways” story is would get my paycheck every other week and then drive 30 miles to the closest record store. That’s how hard we had it in my day.
Literally saw it outside of the store, turned the car around, drove back, and made this purchase so that he would have a brand new bed of his very own.
