Arguing with my wife: she says lord of the rings only has 3 female characters, and I'm arguing it's 4 because shelob counts

Working on a realistic railroad tycoon game where every time you try to build something you get a popup from the shareholders complaining that you're spending money on something other than stock buybacks
we have spent over a century as a society quietly ignoring things like "one hundred year flood plains" and "are we building a city in the desert" and "it's fine to build houses in fire zones" and now the bill is due
just a normal day working with fable: "look for the real-world pool explosion theorem next"
Platner now _even more_ qualified to be a future MAGA standard bearer
The resolution of the Trump era will be determined by the quantity and depth of the scars it leaves behind. Only those crimes that cannot be forgotten will draw enough ire to force a reckoning.
My midlife crisis is paying steam $6 to play Populus again. And it's not even the good version with the candy mice, aliens, or France tileset
I haven't seen a movie since before COVID, but 26 bucks for a ticket feels like a lot Happy to support Director Pixels, tho

Oh no that can't be us there must be a bunch of library ballot measures rending the fabric of local society. "Yes/No on C AI Slop Memes" Welp. It's us. Please I just want to go to the coffee shop without being told the vintage 1940's library is fine it just needs to build up.

Time for another toddler oriented trip to the Golden State Model Railroad Museum
I was always bothered by capture-the-flag rules. A line instantly reverses who tags who out. Being in jail is no fun. At one point I got some power in an intramural organization and tried to fix it: on contact, both players are out until they touch their base. Nobody understood it was better.
ICE is a criminal organization harming and racially profiling Californians. I'll send ICE to jail if they break our laws, all the way up to Stephen Miller.
I ran out of Opus tokens with 3 days left in the week, so i'm using my remaining sonnet to help set up a locally hosted Qwen.
Don't skip reading your CA Primary Voters Guide; there's some real entertainment hiding amidst the 30 gubernatorial candidates.
I found a California Pipevine a few years ago, and it took quite a bit of nurturing to get the cutting established, but now the goal is accomplished. Yesterday I found a clutch of California Pipevine Swallowtail caterpillars.
Should have brought PPE or an umbrella in case the poop bombing jet somehow becomes real
my sports bluesky is tuned perfectly, today I got: P0NYO P3NY5 Breaking Ball Breaks Balls Peak performance.
From the vibes of my local Democratic Club, CA gov race probably won't do the jungle thing. People understand they can't support a single digit candidate even though they like them. They don't like Porter being abusive, Swalwell being pro Israel, or Steyer being a billionaire.
This is horrific. ICE was at SFO kidnapping this mother right in front of her young child. And I have questions. San Francisco is a sanctuary city, which means no city resources can be used to aid ICE. How did two unidentified ICE agents get behind security at SFO to do this arrest?
