almost forgot to post the update
partial screenshot of Fitbit app sleep view showing the bar chart for this week Sunday to Friday. now, the Y axis goes from 0 hours to 14 hours and the entry for Friday is almost to the top, with the rest of the week maybe a quarter or a third of the way. there's an entry for today reading: 12 hours 32 minutes, sleep score 78, Fair.

especially relevant because I got paged at 4:06am today for an actual incident

be proud tho, I went to bed SO early last night. I almost got enough sleep despite being paged
Fitbit app sleep today: 6 hours of 7 hour goal. There's a gauge visualization that's six sevenths full. Sleep score: 78 fair

wrecked
Fitbit app sleep for this week. 3 hours 35 minutes per day average. The app comments: "You haven't hit your goal yet this week." Bar chart visualizing sleep duration for this week with data logged Sunday to Thursday. The Y axis goes from 0 hours to 8 hours with a goal threshold of 7 hours. The bars for each day go no higher than 4 hours with one that doesn't even reach 3 hours. Below the graph there are rows listing a couple entries from this week. Today 4 hours 9 minutes, sleep score 72, fair. Yesterday 3 hours 40 minutes (sleep score is obscured by the "Log sleep" button). The row for the previous day is partially visible and lists 3 hours 22 minutes.

when the author is *pissed* and he has receipts
article excerpt in white text on a dark background, of which nearly half the words are hyperlinked text styled in a damning red. the text reads: "Questions about the Oregon shooting come as the Trump administration faces scrutiny over its false statements, disproven by video evidence, about the killings of Good and Alex Pretti in Minneapolis and as cases of alleged 'assaults' on immigration agents have repeatedly fallen apart in court."

someone that I'm, uh, especially close to encountered this term for the first time the other day and it seems to explain a lot
Like, I know it's basic textbook stuff, but srsly: (block quote) Hyperverbal autism is a term used to describe individuals on the autism spectrum who possess an above-average verbal capability. They often demonstrate a rich vocabulary, exceptional memory for information, and a profound interest in conversations about their favored subjects. However, despite these advanced verbal skills, people with hyperverbal autism may face significant difficulties in social interactions and practical communication.

that's what I'm talking about
The same Android home screen with dark green wallpaper featuring silhouettes of different leaves. All the icons are now dark green to match, with the only exceptions being for the weather. There's a blue moon in the current weather widget, and the yellow sun in the At A Glance forecast at the top.

I mean look at this! have you ever seen anything so 90s?? I mean the colors! the outfits!
book cover of Spy Girls: License to Thrill by Elizabeth Cage. the text is magenta with a darker pink outline, using a font that's a bit reminiscent of the Scooby Doo logo? the background is a lime green spiral against bright yellow. in the foreground is Jo, the multilingual fashionista who stands in a textured black leather jacket with a matching mini skirt, and black leather knee-high boots with square toes and block heels. she's carrying a grey briefcase and pulling her glasses down to look at the camera like some sort of badass. her dark brown hair is up in a sleek and voluminous high ponytail. in the middle is Caylin, the sporty daredevil who doesn't afraid of anything. she's wearing a black leather oversized blazer, a white button-up, bright blue leather or vinyl boot-cut trousers, and black boots with square toes and block heels. her shoulder-length blond hair is down but pushed back out of her face. she standing, speaking into a walkie-talkie in one hand with the other hand on her hip. toward the back is Theresa, the awkward but genius hacker. it's a bit hard to make out the details but she's wearing a matching black leather jacket and straight-leg trousers with black boots. her short dark hair is styled a bit spiky and messy-on-purpose. she stands in a half-squat, taking a picture with an SLR camera.

that extra minute has to count for something right?

yep. podcasts are just 21st century a.m. talk radio
Unlike some other research work in this area, this study found that social media in general didn't increase people's exposure to and belief in misinformation: these beliefs were specifically correlated with the use of messaging apps, like WhatsApp, Telegram, and Facebook Messenger. Interestingly, they also found that people who consume more podcasts were more likely to believe COVID-19 disinformation (a category of media that I'd categorize as Internet-related).

I have no doubt that it's a valuable book but this seems like a bit much (seems to be a data entry error; it's a much more reasonable $39.54 on the actual website)

does the LA river count? it actually starts near the neighborhood where I grew up. looks like this most of the year

the LA "river" during the dry season. there's a few feet width of water running through a huge man-made concrete riverbed. you could comfortably drive one or two cars on the concrete on each side of the water

I've been making an effort to incorporate more color the last few years, but the best formal-ish dress I own is this black mockneck sleeveless number and it totally totally has Marcella vibes. I think of that professor every time I see it in the closet
tall thin Black model with tight curly hair wearing the described sleeveless black dress. it's fitted to the body, with a mockneck and shoulder pads which gives a muscle tank vibe, plus a slit high up the thigh revealing the model's leg. hard to see but there's ruching in the stomach area. the floor-length skirt drapes straight down with subtle movement around the ankles. the model wears the dress with black pointed kitten heels.
