I think about this quote from Michele Obama, maybe once every week?
Pops into my head, you know why.

"‘I Have Been at Every Powerful Table You Can Think of… They Are Not That Smart’"

From:
Michelle Obama Opens Up About 'Imposter Syndrome'
"It doesn't go away, that feeling that you shouldn't take me that seriously. What do I know?" Michelle Obama said.

Why do all these 'ceos' hate their customers so much?

Like I get their staff - they've been trained to see them as 'cost' rather than 'the thing that gets you money'.

But customers are also 'thing that gets you money'. You should freakin' love them.

Who wants heartfelt Christmas cards?
I'm at the age where no friend/family mention they receive one nor care to send one.

Me trying to find anyone online try to figure out hair dye, and it's just thousands of people being like 'do I look cute with this? Which one do you prefer?'
Meanwhile I'm asking about chemistry and colour theory, which clearly doesn't affect anyone else?

Are websites getting...larger?
Like the font and graphics making me hit ctrl + - too many times, just to get the FOV acceptable?

The second Roman empire is collapsing faster than anticipated.
And stupider than anticipated.
Didn't think that was possible.

Went to the store and saw the current dresses in season.
Listen, they've been long for a few years, which is a recession indicator.
The fact that they're even longer, long sleeves, an covering the chest and neck IN SUMMER - I think we might be a bit more than a recession.

Hmm. Glad there's a hair stylist near me that includes language and such for non-binary/gender neutral - but also noticing the price list for them is the same as women (much higher than the mens). Hmm.

Suggested reading on why people accept bribes?
Why rich people accept bribes? Why rich people accept very tiny bribes (yes, I originally typed bread)?

Ok, this may be an asinine question but...say I wasn't a multimillionaire/billionaire and I wanted to run a news outlet that made money.
Why wouldn't I run one that's exactly opposite than what everyone else is doing? Why wouldn't I use language that correctly depicts what's going on?

So, the problem I was starting to have with Twitter and now with Bsky is that there are so many insanely knowledgeable people on here in industries that are not easy to understand the real inner workings on.
But if I ask those people ?s, if I get any response it's typically dismissal.

If you use GMail, AI (Gemini) was turned on yesterday by default and now scans all of your content for machine learning. To turn off, go to Settings>General and scroll down. Uncheck the box for "Smart features."

There's other "Smart" add-ons as well, but that's the one that reads your content.

It's the time of the year where there's so many added costs in my life outside of the holidays, I have started budgeting for December to be the month I don't want to look at my credit card statement.

It's not just the insurances coming due, car usually has massive problem, extra dr appts...

Let me tell you about the other Epstein files the Trump administration is STILL HIDING — records that aren’t affected by the bill Congress passed today.

The second paragraph of every article about Trump freeing House Republicans to vote to release the Epstein files should make it clear that he could order them released himself and chooses not to.

Does anyone know the start date of when ICE arrived in Chicago?
Did they do the '30 days' thing again to not have to reimburse people or does that only apply to Nat Guard?

Any new news on how woke he was?
