I don't know who needs to hear this, but if you're turning on the heat for the first time this season, NOW is the time to change your furnace filter. And write the date on the side so you know when you last changed it!

You can't tell from this pic, but Rosie's farts are so horrendous I have to move off the couch.

Opening on a finale...?

This is nonsense.

Beyond it being a paid, source sourceless ~HOLLYWOOD INSIDER~ newsletter it is nothing but navel gazing AI boosting from the word go. I mean just read this.

"Opened with a flourish worthy of a Casablanca finale"

That's nothing. You just named a famous movie. Go home.

When OpenAI unveiled GPT-5 on Aug.7, CEO Sam Altman opened with aflourish worthy ofa Casablanca finale: "our smartest, fastest, nost useful model yet." The implication was clear- management consultants, lawyers and other white- collar professionals were about to get supercharged.

Today, I'm blaming beef liver treats for Rosie waking me up from a dead sleep twice to poop in the night, and now gassing me with her extra charged farts

It's a real testament to the writers of #StarWarsRebels that the moment I see Chopper, all I hear is droid swears in my head

A mix bag of sales:

When No One is Watching, psychological thriller by Alyssa Cole is on sale for $1.99
Dark and gripping with a touch of romance

Some people are more invested in punishing those who have it better because they can't fathom the work needed to lift everyone up instead. It's always easier to destroy than to build.

Still amazed at the number of people going “my postal service is shit; yours should be too” instead of demanding decent service.

Witnessed a protester harassing a very pretty female officer, filming her and "just asking a question" when she was surrounded by other officers telling the guy to please stop.

I don't need to defend cops, but my dude, we all know you're being a creep under the guise of justice.

I have a weird affection for Ryan Goins just because he pitched that one game in the 18th of 19 innings back in 2016. Considering buying his jersey 2nd hand, just cuz.

Sometimes I keep things that are like, "Well, this would be useful if the world ended" and now I'm like WTF if the world ends I won't need to be able to tell time or keep my socks dry

In high school, we watched the movie "Demon Seed" in which the house's AI inseminates Julie Christie and is reborn as a flesh and blood girl child.

If the sequel were made now, it would be a total nightmare dystopian horror for the AI girl.
