Okay here’s my mission:
Finish my ENTIRE todo list in the next 6 months.
This means:
- I have to get very clear on what “finished” looks like for each project
- I’m not allowed to take on any new projects I’ve not already committed to (even if it was mentioned)

When I tell strangers I don’t want kids, they balk at the idea. Some of them (particularly men) get extremely upset about it.
Yet my friends who have kids all tell me what misery it is and that I should avoid them at all costs.
Wonder who I should listen to…

For normal people, Melissa means impromptu vacation days. For me, it means working my *ss off on the weekend so I hopefully don't fall too far behind if I have to miss a couple days.

AI has claimed the em dash? Who cares. I've moved on. I'm all about the BUSINESS SEMICOLON now. I'm putting semicolons everywhere. Emails, subject lines, headlines. You thought you were getting a comma or a period? Guess what, you're getting both.

Did you ever notice how confident AI's tone is, even when it's flat-out wrong? It discourages us from using our critical thinking skills. That should concern us all. speckyboy.com/grumpy-desig...
Why The Grumpy Designer Is Wary of AI’s Confidence — Speckyboy
AI speaks with confidence, but that doesn’t mean it’s right. The Grumpy Designer explores why self-assured answers can mislead users and what AI tools should do instead.

Here’s a primer on ‘primer.’
It’s pronounced ‘PRIMM-er’ if you mean “a small book” or “a short informative piece of writing.”
It’s pronounced ‘PRY-mer’ if you mean “an initial coat of paint.”

I don’t hold grudges.
I nurse them, feed them, watch them mature as if they were my very own children.
So don’t piss me off.

I keep thinking about the massive amounts of time, money, & sheer character-assassinating malice the administration has devoted to persecuting Kilmar Abrego Garcia. The amount of suffering inflicted. The lies. The lawsuits. And all b/c they wouldn't admit they made a mistake. It's madness.
