The first half takeaway is that if they made it to the Super Bowl the Washington football team would have beat the Chiefs. Obviously.

I was a Washington football fan through the 80s and even into the early Synder era.

It quickly became clear he didn't really care about the success of the team.

Starting with Heath Schuler, I realized how bad the team's management was - they destroyed talent.

Sources close to the ex-Commanders owner say he remains in denial over what led to his ouster from the NFL.

This is just perfect.
The Thunder kept putting towels on Nick Gallo while he was trying to do a postgame interview with Shai 😂

This is genius!
I have a friend from France staying with me and I just spent an hour explaining the difference between a "butt dial" and a "booty call."

@itsmejbird.bsky.social saw this, thought of you!

(Mostly bc it has a coffee cup, but I think you appreciate the sentiment too)
Good morning friends. Happy Sunday everyone. I hope it’s a great day.🥰

I read this so you have to as well
I bought a vinyl yesterday called "Sounds Wasps make".

When I got home and played it, I said to myself, "This doesn't sound anything like wasp sounds." Then I realised, I was playing the bee side...

Yeah, I really like this.

I made kimchi jiagae (stew) today using store-bought kimchi made by a local company in Michigan.

Turns out that mid-west kimchi tastes like sauerkraut and I can't say I'm that surprised.

This was probably due to #SquirrelCrimes !!

I appreciate you if you try. I don't yell at line staff.

Made a recent exception. Wells Fargo Bank is a horrendous operation.

"Hi, I'd like to manage my money"

"No!"

Every one of their CSRs said "I'm going to be honest with you" when telling me why they couldn't help.

Subscription cancelled.

Liverpool winning and dinner plans with friends I've known for 40+ years.

And currently sitting with a second cup of coffee!

I have a few Zojurushi insulated bottles (bc I have their rice cooker - which is a game changer).

The bottles are astonishing and so much better than anything else at keeping hot hot and cold cold.

Despite the chilly temp in my house, this one is currently keeping my water lukewarm...

Whelp. It was the mistakes!
Currently watching Man U versus City, which should be highly entertaining - but both teams have been slipping, so we'll see if it's excellence or failures that guide the outcome.

Also, please join me in cheering for a Chelsea loss later today!

@ser0bi.bsky.social thinking of you.

Replayed The Room 3 (puzzle game) again immediately after playing 1 & 2.

At a certain point, I get tried of trying to find the round hole this modified square peg fits into, so I skim walkthroughs.

One walkthrough explained how to use a rotary phone 🙄

Waaay back in the late 90s Dick's Sporting Good did not own dicks. com

I worked with a bright IT architecture team at the time who we just couldn't keep busy enough.

After the network team implemented a shiny new firewall, one of the guys on my team figured out that sited were blocked by name

It's a day for gigging, apparently.

Watching Deadpool and Wolverine. Local household wife can't stop laughing at the 'wanton violence' of the opening scene.

Great to hear, not at all disconcerting!

Just helped my elderly parents verify Wi-Fi is setup in their new place.

Yup yup, speed test 👍

"Ok Dad, now type 'penguin smash' into the browser"🐧

Plays. Continuous giggling.

PSA for highway driving: if you're in the left lane of a 3-lane highway and people are passing you on the right - you're the problem. 🚙

Looking at you Virgina drivers!

In our family, the traditional day-after Thanksgiving meal is Turkey Divan.

Turkey, broccoli, cream of mushroom/chicken soup casserole topped with breadcrumbs and cheese.

Comfort food from my childhood.

And the daughters when young called it "Turkey Diva" which just gets me right in the feels

Such a great educational technique
An interesting way to help people visualize what a ruin used to be.
November 29, 2024 at 2:24 AM
Well, the dogs approved of the turkey, mashed potatoes, and stuffing so it was clearly a good Thanksgiving
November 29, 2024 at 1:39 AM
Excited to cook Thanksgiving. Normally it's for a crowd; just two of us this year!

Local household wife is deeply concerned about the volume - she's afraid we'll be recapping turkey and the sides for many days.

She's not wrong to worry...
