Fledgling fiction author; once and future over-analyzer of Hindi movies; cat person; anthropologist of obsessions. Can't resist a good cocktail. Apparently is preposterous.

Feel important, yes, and also victimized -- I need protection because I'm speaking the the to people who don't want you to hear it who therefore threaten my safety

Of course, but I think for the average GenX member the most salient Wallace Shawn references are “Inconcievable!” and the Grand Nagus

At today's company meeting of my usually rational, data-driven employer, our CEO showed metrics of GenAI adoption across our org -- N% of dev used Copilot this quarter! -- as if adoption is the goal in itself. Any impact on our *existing* metrics of productivity and quality, sir?

@dfphil.bsky.social and I once went to a restaurant that prided itself on its wine pairings. We asked the server for his recommendation based on what we ordered and he said, “Well, halibut just *screams* Chardonnay.”

do you ever have things that someone has said to you that live forever in your head (non-serious edition)? some older boomer hippie guy said “hahmmus gives you fahts” to me 26 years ago at a free fridge and i think of it every fucking single time i buy hummus to this day.

“Dithering performance” is a good one too. In the debate I saw Mamdani was solid and sharp, while Cuomo sounded desperate and entitled while childishly refusing to say his opponent’s name correctly.

I spent some time over the weekend making sure our stock was correctly entered in the app, so tonight I just tapped the button that showed me drinks we could make with what we had on hand.

That is all true — and, the scale of the protests sends a message to local and state leaders that they have public support to stand up to the regime.

Wow, he's fun.

Unusual drink. Wouldn’t want it too often, but I liked it. The drink also has an absinthe rinse (I used Pernod because I was out of absinthe)

Via Robb Report we made the Growing Old with 2 oz Cynar, 1 oz rye, 1 pinch of salt, and 5 lemon peels in the mixing glass plus one expressed on the glass. Very different and tasty.
