My wife's baking binge continues. Yesterday she made these mince tarts with the homemade mincemeat she made a few weeks ago. They soaked up A LOT of booze, so the tarts are quite potent.

What an utterly dispiriting list of losers, has-beens, and never-will-bes. I would not vote for a single one of these people.

Second night in a row of being awakened by my low blood sugar alert in the wee small hours. Just messes me up for the whole day.

I switched back to Firefox a couple of years ago when Chrome started breaking ad blockers and have been pleased. Sadly, now we need to disable AI in Firefox, but here's how. (at least the ad blockers still work)

I don't use Gmail's categories, so this works for my needs, but proceed with care. Fuck AI.
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.

All you need to know about the Democrats is that they are actively courting MTG and treating Zohran Mamdani like a leper.
If the Democrats are stupid enough to let Marjorie Taylor Greene jump out in front of this to reputation wash herself, then they’re even more fucking useless than I thought.

I got up early this morning and hit the good donut shop for half a dozen. #Charley decided that one of the Boston Cremes was for him.
Friend, it was not.

Anyone else playing Anno 117? I never played Anno 1800, but I love me an ancient city builder. Bought it first day of release, which is often a bad move, but it seems pretty solid on Day One.

Couple of days ago, the local news reported that a guy saw an alligator in the Charles River. The alligator has been found, but he's A LOT smaller than the original story suggested.

This gift exchange website we're using for Christmas thinks the only things a 55+ man would be interested in are power tools and golf balls. Two things I have absolutely zero interest in. At least they didn't suggest a necktie.
