The perfect slogan for AI

From my "new, improved"Yahoo mail (Now with features you never asked for and a rearrangement you didn't want!). The text reads; "Track package. Generated by AI. Mistakes are possible."

I got to meet @altonbrown.bsky.social and he signed my bass pickguard..

Alton Brown, staring at the pickguard of my Mike Dirnt bass as I gesture to indicate the orientation on the bass and the best place for him to sign. We tweeted back and forth that morning as he was in Peoria for his first food tour. I was unemployed at the time and didn't have tickets for the show. He was very patient with me.

Oxymoron.

kinda sweet that bookshop.org's anti-prime sale overlaps with banned books week, which means today you can get free shipping PLUS 20% off their banned books list! bookshop.org/info/banned-...

Watching 'The Stackhouse Filibuster" and the closed captioning kinda nailed it .

A picture of a TV showing (fictional) Senator Howard Stackhouse talking on the Senate floor and the caption reads "Stackhouse filibustering." I mean, for want of a comma, am I right?
So the conclusion of my breaking bad rewatch. Obviously West Wing underway. I have better call Saul season 6 to do and I just noticed I have started deep space nine so maybe I'll poke into that and the shield. So I'm looking forward to series rewatches coming up. I'll keep you posted if you're interested and maybe if you're not.

I'm not going to lie. This didn't post early enough this morning that I was able to listen before work. But I know these guys, I trust these guys. It's a good show. Jump in and Listen, because she's not the only one who talks to Angels...

Nothing I like better than a Spider-Man comic without a Spider-Man appearance.

Lots of villain origin stories taking place right now, and if I were in a better place, I might enjoy them.

It's not the creators, it's me.

Cover of ultimate Spider-Man 21 with an image of bullseye holding a Spider-Man mask stereo Mr. Negative and the kingpin come to think of it. I don't think bullseye is in this issue either unless I just didn't recognize him or wasn't paying that much attention cuz I was waiting for Spider-Man to show up.
