Gene and I don't usually drink, so a few at a holiday party tonight got us home a lil tipsy. At 12:30am, everyone was asleep and long story short I was browsing Doordash, accidentally submitted an order and 10 minutes later eating Taco Bell alone on the couch. That was scary fast & easy 😱

So, interesting article--but, mainly, I came here to say that the best and worst thing about the article is that it has taught me that "scromiting" is a word. And it means exactly what you'd expect.
Chronic cannabis use, vomiting and compulsive bathing—symptoms of a hidden syndrome
Researchers at the Jane Addams College of Social Work at the University of Illinois Chicago have found that cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome, a vomiting condition tied to chronic cannabis use, rose sh...

Can't say I love the odor of humans after a Turkey Day feast.

Man, the cost benefit analysis for selecting 2026 health insurance is AGONIZING.

Feeling super distracted / zero attention span today. Posting on social media is probably not the path to less distraction, is it?

CA friends! Remember to vote YES on Prop 50!

Which would you choose if these were your two options?

1) iPhone 15 Pro with 1TB storage
2) iPhone 16 Pro Max with 256GB storage

Let's say your current Android phone (Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra) has 512GB and is using 484GB of that...

Woke up with blinding period pain. Went to the restroom and noticed the kitchen light was on, so I went to turn it off, but the pain washed over me. I woke up again confused on the hallway floor, realizing I'd collapsed there. Elbow hurts; I think I fell on it. Heating pad and Aleve. Wish me luck.

I tried to comment on an IG video of JD Vance with these exact words: "Vance is a racist, a hypocrite, and a liar." My comment got flagged for going against community standards. I'm assuming the objectionable word was "racist." Racists act like "racist" is a slur, but what other word is there?

Today I conversed online with a guy who likened universal healthcare to slavery, and a Christian lady who said financial sacrifices required if the Republican spending bill passes--getting her hair and nails done and fancy vacations--are worth it because we must protect our children from Sharia Law.

My smart but gullible mom just told me she's reading "Good Energy" by Casey & Calley Means. This called for urgent @lastweektonight.com help! I sent her and my dad the episode on MAHA, hopefully steering them away from the MAHA rabbit hole before this gets out of hand🤞. John Oliver is a true hero.

Beyond Burgers are worse than turkey burgers are worse than Impossible Burgers are worse than beef burgers. This is the (abbreviated) burger hierarchy.

I usually skip opening credits, but I always gotta watch the full intro on Peacemaker Season 2. Who's with me?!

Thought process:

We don't have buns for these veggie burgers.

*laughing to self*

I'm going out to grab some buns!

The Round Table near us has the worst deals. I checked for better offers at other locations close enough to pick up from and found that the cost varies dramatically! Current cost for a L Specialty pizza:

San Carlos: $33.99
Redwood City: $35.99
Menlo Park: $37.99
Palo Alto: $29.99
Stanford: $24.99

Everyone keeps telling me the DMV is so much better now, but we've waited 40 minutes from our appointment time with no movement of the line, and just found out "the system is down." Hilarious.

When I redid my website with boba on the brain, it did not occur to me how ridiculous it would feel discussing pricing packages with clients in terms of "regular," "sweet," and "extra sweet." 😬

It felt like fulfilling some right-wing stereotype that we got dinner at the taco truck in front of the Planned Parenthood today. Our woke burritos were delicious, though.

A young woman in jogging clothes (sports bra, baseball cap ponytail, running shorts) just casually walked down the trail by the bench where I'm sitting, but she's full-on belting--I mean, LOUD--Weezer's "Say It Ain't So."

Y'all ever sprayed a giant fly with Zevo (people & pet-safe insect spray) and had a waterfall of writhing maggots squirt out its butt? Yeah, me neither...until today. There's video of the aftermath if you'd like to join me in having this image permanently burned into your memory. Just LMK.

"Leptospirosis is a kidney disease. It is not uncommon in sea lions. It shows up every three to five years. It is spread mostly thorough urine. So when thousands of sea lions are gathered on a beach, it can contaminate the sand. The disease is contagious and can spread to humans and pets."

Anyone else been getting a lot of spam calls from blocked numbers lately? It's been happening to me regularly, and I'm not sure what to do! The phone indicates that they're numbers I already blocked, but the calls are still coming through!
