Some extremely Sims-like shenanigans in the Midnight beta today...

Good morning, happy Sunday.

The neighborhood competition for Loudest, Least-Efficient Blowing/Cutting/Grinding Motor has recommenced. 🫠

Finally getting around to listening to @jasonschreier.bsky.social’s Play Nice, and the description of Bobby Kotick when he’s introduced is *chef’s kiss*

“In truth, he came out of the womb ready to generate revenue for shareholders.”

I nearly spit out my water laughing at it.

Your last saved meme is your moral philosophy:

I’ve figured out what is bothering me about the new transmog system design. It feels like they’re treating the mog Outfits like bank slots, with escalating cost: fine if it functioned like a bank, where moving things in and out has no cost. But this is more like “Void Storage, but make it Transmog.”

Does anyone else have an exceptional amount of trouble differentiating between “cleaning” and “organizing”?

I struggle so hard keeping the former from devolving into the latter, and when I do manage it, I then have trouble feeling like I Actually Did A Thing, because all I can see is the disorder.

Y’all, I cleaned the office yesterday and the bedroom today and I can *almost* imagine not living in utter squalor again some day.

Of course, the work week starts tomorrow, so have no fear, I will be disabused of this notion shortly.

I was evidently deemed, “nice and fun to play with and color with” in unsolicited comments from my nieces this weekend, so the rest of the world can’t tell me SHIT today.

I’m generally anti-HOA, but I think if I could find a neighborhood that banned gas powered leaf blowers, I would make an exception.

I’m tired and I don’t feel well, can I skip my allotted workplace ruining today and just do some stuff?

The restricted words for naming characters in WoW baffle me sometimes. I (a warlock main since Wrath) am still salty about losing Metamorphosis to demon hunters, so I wanted to make a timerunner DH named Thiefling - but apparently words begining with "thief" are restricted. Is it a slur somewhere?

I want to watch Mamdani's speech from last night, I keep hearing it's a banger, but I am obsessed with finding out what's in this box that they're not allowed to open for another 26 minutes.
Came home to an extremely intriguing package on our doorstep, hi hello? 👀 (Shall we open it on stream tomorrow?)

New flag day?

New flag day.

Thanks.
Alright, Virginia my home sweet home, let’s get it done today, ok?

I would get up and go play a game or something, but I am trapped under this cat:

This is not the pollock I expected when I clicked…
November 4, 2025 at 10:50 PM
Ok, I cleaned the kitchen, folded the laundry and started some rice for dinner…

Now I have no energy and nothing to distract me from election obsession and it’s not even 6 yet.

Halp?

I just tried to walk out of the office without my flu shot…

I was having pleasant chitchat when she got up to go, and I just got up with her…

Comedy ensued at the checkout desk, when I got a call from the practice while talking to the people who usually make the phone calls at the practice.

In for my annual physical and they have a depression/anxiety screening and I just want to write in big sharpie:

HAVE YOU SEEN THE FUCKING WORLD LATELY? AM I ANXIOUS?! DAMN STRAIGHT I AM!

And this on Election Day. Get the fuck out with this nonsense.

I can’t decide what dislike more, people who have loud phone interactions (with a person or an app) in waiting rooms or the TV they have on in said rooms. 🤨

I would like to posit that the problem is not daylight v standard time. The problem is that we have a society that thinks wintertime productivity should be the same and follow the same schedule as summertime productivity, and that’s horseshit.
