Something I am increasingly struck by when I go out and about. There are no men. I am out at a restaurant here in Boston, eating outside on this gorgeous night and there is literally one table, out of 20, that has a man sitting at it.

This is going to go exceptionally well.
The New York Times@nytimes.com · 2d agoThe Trump administration plans to spend millions of dollars equipping immigration officers with gloves that can deliver electric shocks, describing them as a “de-escalation device.” Critics are alarmed that agents would have another tool that they say could actually escalate their use of force.
So, apparently Nordstrom just disabled their debit card and didn't notify anyone? WTF?
In some sort of miracle I managed to snag two tickets to see Paul Giamatti, John Turturro, and Tatiana Maslany in Rhinoceros in September. Now I just need to convince someone else to come see it with me. (Probably not a hard sell?)
Shit that drives me nuts: usb-c chargers that don't actually work universally. What are we even doing here?
LoL. I am at a birthday party for a friend turning 50. This is a vibe
And this is entirely on the prosecutors. They have not been moderate in their approach. In the second day of trial they called 10 (TEN!) first responders. To what end? They largely said the same thing and the only thing that resulted was them having to relive a truly horrible experience.

LoL. The next shitshow in end stage capitalism
The Washington Post@washingtonpost.com · 2w agoApple has launched a program that allows customers in the U.S. to lease iPhones and other devices instead of buying them as computer product prices rise because of increasing memory chip costs driven by the artificial intelligence boom.
So, I got this a bit ago in the hopes of catching the stray seed from the feeder. The problem? The birds won't touch the feeder if it is attached.
I had my first calling out of opposing counsel for using AI hallucinated shit. I embarrassed the shit out of him.
So, because I have my own firm, that email has been INUNDATED with bullshit emails for AI. I have been tagging them all as spam. So, when a client sends me an email saying they "used AI" to do something? It got sent to my spam folder.

When I was growing up we would have "cold dinners" which was basically just white trash charcuterie 😂 Cold cuts, cheese, crackers. Cut veg and ranch dressing. Fake crab meat dip. If my dad had got a sales bonus we might have had boursin.
Ms. Rosenberg@msrosenberg.bsky.social · 3w agoDinners when it’s too hot to eat: Blend ice cream or yogurt+ frozen banana+peanut butter+whatever fruit you like Or Toast with mayo, sliced tomato & salt Or Shredded rotisserie chicken, wrapped in lettuce leaves, dipped in mustard
I am sure there are women out there that don't agree with this. But I don't know a single woman who doesn't adore a big nose, big ears, or both. Or odd noses or ears. We love a quirky feature
FinchBeak@finchbeak.bsky.social · 3w agoI started watching The Capture about a week ago. Developed a crush on Callum Turner. Then saw him in a preview before the Odyssey. So had to look him up. He is married to Dua Lipa!? Give me goofy boy with big ears ❤️😂😍

The correct answer is Spy Game. For both Redford and Pitt. And there aren't any good gifs because that is how underrated this movie is.
Alan Sepinwall@sepinwall.bsky.social · 3w agoClooney and/or JLo in Out of Sight are incredibly strong contenders. But every time a version of this comes up, the only answer for me is
I need to pour one out for Josta. Not a diet soda, but elite, nonetheless.
FinchBeak@finchbeak.bsky.social · 3w agoDiet sodas, ranked: 1. Diet Dr. Pepper 2. Diet Pepsi 3. Dr. Pepper Zero 4. Fresca 5. Diet Coke Coke Zero is trash and doesn't deserve to be ranked.
Kevin is right. Revised diet sodas, ranked: 1. Diet Dr. Pepper 2. Fresca 3. Diet Pepsi 4. Dr. Pepper Zero 5. Diet Coke Coke Zero is trash and doesn't deserve to be ranked.
Kevin Koppes@kevinkoppes.bsky.social · 3w agoI have Fresca higher. And, yeah, the Diet Brodas are awful.

Jesus fuck. I am just hate watching Project Runway at this point. Why are we not having the judges talk about the designs? Just announce the winner, no commentary.
I ordered Ethiopian because I was CRAVING yemiser wot. But my grubhub driver fucked up and dropped off another order. And not from the same restaurant. So instead of a beautiful, vegetarian smorgasbord, I got mystery meat and rice 😭😭😭😭
Yes. The Odyssey is as good as everyone is saying. Worth skiving off work today to watch, even if it means having to do some work this weekend.
I accidentally stumbled upon this bullshit documentary "Game 7" about the 2003 ALCS and now I need to go cleanse myself by watching "the steal" on repeat as penance
