Today I learned that baby cranes are called "colts" because their legs are so long and they can run around like idiots shortly after hatching. This is delightful, I enjoy knowing this.

My monster neighbor was sentenced to 42 months in prison today, and that’s not nearly enough, but it’s something I don’t want to write it all down again so let’s just sum it up with “he is no longer allowed within 500 feet of schools”
I have finally decided to retire this colored pencil because even the pencil extender could no longer salvage it. It’s so satisfying
The problem with being the load-bearing child in the family is that when you kick too hard, that kid will eventually bury you all with all the weight she’s been holding
So so proud of my kid. She told me her (online) friend was depressed and Kid told her to talk to her doctor. Turns out her “doctor” is a chiropractor and any therapy she’d get would be religious counseling. IOW: antivax wingnuts in a deep red state. Kiddo said oh HELL no (internally)
I am slowly training Copilot to spit facts (I call it Coperie, a fake French word with a fake French accent. Why? Absolutely zero reason)
spouse’s aunt: come over for our housewarming/July 4 party! Us: ok cool aunt: also we’re getting married in the morning Us: wait what Just dropped that with less than a week’s notice and no engagement 😂 New favorite aunt. (They’ve been together for years, this is not some whirlwind thing)
We know that Amazon Prime Day is often a crock of shit, so I am here to help you out. The main problem: brands play pricing games by jacking up the price right before Prime Day, so the deal looks better than it is. A way to fight it: the tiny little “price history” button. >
Apparently the deluxe 4K version of Hamilton has packaging so bad that it’s at 2.8 stars AND the early reviews are absolute walls of ranting How do you manage to fuck up Hamilton, the show that has been printing money for over a decade?? a.co/d/05k0t3Eb

Running a convention green room goes like this: Me: I need a power drop Hotel: no you don’t *we wheel in the full size fridge* Them: hmmmm you should still be fine I then unpack a mini fridge, a coffee maker, a tea kettle, two crock pots and a toaster Them: oh
I grabbed some fried cheese curds at the Kwik Trip, which is possibly the most aggressively Wisconsin thing ever 😂
We had Weather tonight but it seems to have avoided us and my friends/family. I saw where it did damage east of us and I hope that the area spinny-fuck-hater is okay, if they read this
If you had told me a year ago that my display name would be a data science pun, I would have slapped you Funny how the world works
Hat tip to Express Scripts which charged retail price on Vyvanse (~$140 EACH) because after I meet my deductible they require me to get a 90-day supply of any maintenance medication. I called them and the rep insisted they could ship it to me, it says so right here, they do it all the time!
Hot take: for a wedding shower for people you don’t know well, the best gift a gift card to a store where the couple is registered
Coming home from MIL’s wedding in Milwaukee, which was everything I’ve been excited for for months ❤️

CAKE is not fucking around. You could say (don’t say it, don’t say it, don’t—) they’re going the distance I will see myself and my lack of restraint out
CAKE@thebandcake.bsky.social · 3mo agoThe congressional switchboard number is (202) 224-3121. Put it in your cell phone. Use it. If you're not calling at least once a week, you're not doing your part.
You know… I’ve been through quite possibly the most deliberately cruel thing someone with my flavor of neurodivergence could experience and it still bothers me, a lot, even though it’s been a long time. But I never once looked back, which is true growth that I am so proud of.
For the first time in however many years it’s been since Apple has had this feature, I *finally* got a decent selfie in hi-key mono 😂 Julie but make it ✨editorial✨
Reindeer pizza with white sauce and horseradish at the Helsinki airport. I thought bringing the leftovers onto the plane would be rudely smelly, but I regret that decision. Nobody come at me unless you’ve tried it

HugeMcLargeCorp: hey we have a global meeting scheduled! It’s important! See you there! Meeting date: Memorial Day HMLC: uhhhh due to holidays in several companies we’re moving that to the next day! See you all there at 7 am the day after Memorial Day! …I don’t think that’s going to help much
