Hmmm. As much as we hear about Elon, Zuck, Bezos, etc, I don't remember hearing about this one nearly as much. Is he less problematic and thus flies under the radar or is he just as corrupt as the other ones?

Dammitt. I left the garbage on my porch last night. Was gonna take it to the curb before I left for work today. They never come before 7:30 on my street. What did I hear at 6:32 am today? Now I'm gonna have stinky garbage on my porch all week.
Astrophotographer Adam (AJ) Smadi caught this image a few hours ago from Washington state. A thin crescent Moon, sunlight illuminating the rugged lunar surface. And 2,400 times farther away—and on the other side of the Sun—mighty Jupiter, and its moons Io (left) and Ganymede (right).
Also, I noticed this baby seat sitting in the corner wedged under a table leg. What's that doing up here? The note:
Holy shit. I just sat down on the roof and I thought I heard a car radio or something on a speaker. As it got closer, I realized it was a flock of geese flying over. Except it wasn't just one little V formation. It was a whole damn gaggle. Is there a geese migration? Are they flying back to Canada?
While I was looking for haircut pics, I found the pics of the time I let @niknak722.bsky.social play with makeup on my face. That was a good look.
This haircut on Keira Knightley was my inspo pic for years. It took a long time to grow out my layers and reshape it. I did briefly get it very close, but not quite right. But I realized that on my wide body, it made me look like Beetlejuice shrunk my head. Maybe as this weight drops, I'll revisit
Random celebration. In Feb, I bought some new bras from an online seller I had bought before and knew sizing & fit. One I got was a new style, but when I tried it on did not fit at all like the others. But returning is a pain, so I kept it, hoping losing weight it would eventually fit. It does now!
Here's a haiku for women of a certain age, appropriate for the glorious weather on this beautiful September morn....
Shang-Chi is up next in the countdown to Doomsday...I think I only watched this one once when it hit streaming. I remember it was good, but it was all new to me.
Oh, and yet again, these two that pretend like they don't like each other...every time I walk into my bedroom they're just hanging out together
Hahahaha, I was just watching a kitten video on Insta and Ed heard the meowing and peeked out from behind the curtain to see what I was watching...
A year ago this weekend I locked myself in a bay view hotel room in Erie and finished my first poetry collection. It's a short chapbook, 50 pages, but it's mine and I'm pretty proud of it. I maybe sold 50 copies, so it's definitely not my retirement plan... books2read.com/amy-ganser a.co/d/7K6B36E

If you really know me, you would know that Sir Kenneth Branagh is one of my very favorite actors. He's brilliant both acting and directing and I don't think he gets nearly enough credit for the things he's done in cinema. This interview is long but very much worth the time.
Anthony Breznican@brezwrites.bsky.social · 3d agoKenneth Branagh says Robin Williams was constantly “fireworking,” Christopher Nolan has an eerie way of bending time in real life, and Robert De Niro has no patience for other method actors. All this and lots more for #filmsky people in search of a longread this fine Sunday:
Yaaayyy!!!! I have been waiting for this for years! The Oliver Bath House is finally ready to reopen and offer evening hour water aerobics classes. I am SO here for this. I am not a gym girlie so this could definitely be a thing to help me start adding some actual fitness activity back in.
I have utilized both the Dormont Pool and the South Park skating rink collection sites and they are well run and efficient. They will also have a supply of paper ballots in case you didn't pre-register as mail-in but decide you would rather do paper instead.
Janet Lunde@janetlunde.bsky.social · 5d agoNervous about voting by mail in Allegheny County because of Trump? If you've already requested a mail-in ballot, you can: Bring it to a satellite office--there will be several. Bring it downtown. Bring it to a ballot collection site. Bring the entire package to your polling place on election day

Well, IMAGINE THAT! The people with rock bottom interest rates are able to pay off their mortgage early. Funny how it works that when you're not drowning in interest, you can actually pay down debts. And it's against financial expert advice? Jesus Christ.
The Washington Post@washingtonpost.com · 5d agoNew data finds people with ultralow mortgage rates from 2020 and 2021 are more likely to pay off their loans early than borrowers facing today’s high rates, a counterintuitive finding that goes against financial advice.
I need to stop going on Threads. I have never seen this many stupid people. 90% of posts are WHY IS NO ONE TALKING ABOUT THIS THING THAT ACTUALLY EVERYONE HAS BEEN TALKING ABOUT. Like: There have been actual think pieces and 30-post threads out the wazoo abt Lasso & wizard of oz/wicked references
Got the email from the boss for a 1:00 dismissal tomorrow. I'm calling in the morning to try to get a pedi appt in the afternoon.
Stayed late at work to keep pushing to get this project finished by the Sept 15 deadline. By 5:40, the sky looked like Armageddon, so I finished up and got out of dodge. Driving into town felt eerie, lightning bolts above the skyline, the dark clouds looked like they could start circling any second
