jokes aside, can you imagine how you would handle it if you asked a human assistant "did you make all this up instead of actually doing any of the work", and that person responded to you with "good catch"

Diane Keaton died.

She stood behind Woody Allen and his work in spite of the numerous allegations, not giving much of a shit to his creepy behavior.

I recently bought on ebay an item listed as “REUSABLE METAL MESH FILTER FOR INVERTED AEROPRESS”
after purchase i got a long msg from the seller Jed telling me item is reusable; a metal filter; best used for inverted aeropress method & then a whole heap of other unnecessary info about coffee making

we classify under 5 NF as “first facts” with a label above the dewey and put them in a section on their own. Not perfect either but slightly easier to point customers to

If you haven’t heard this episode

nutshell: Marky’s dog attacked Kenton. and he/members of his gang possibly poisoned his cat & set fire to pub sign
George knew someone inside connected to Marky’s gang & offered to speak to cops. George and this person aren’t on good terms - possibly now he’s fitting George up 🤷🏻‍♀️

Noticing 5.10.25
never seen so much waar (seaweed) on this beach. Storm Amy surely delivered- possibly brought up by recent dredging too. There was seaweed over the fences too (out of picture)

small beach usually sandy is covered in brown seaweed over the high tide line
