This is a common sentiment but I was surprised when I went to Lowe’s last week and it was all Christmas. I didn’t see any Halloween decorations.

The key is to breathe in the microplastics deeply.

Yes, if you stay at a dysfunctional company for five years, and everyone more competent left: Steve in sales will address you as the senior engineer at the start of the call.

It won’t feel good, that guy is an idiot.

“You’re hired! How is 500k with great benefits and loose schedules? Honestly just do whatever you want!”

This is like a landlord painting everything white. It’ll hide / seem to fix some issues, but probably isn’t the fix you’re looking for.

Time to exercise, my demons.

I bet the Saudis have their eye on this one too.

I have some earplugs I carry on my keyring that I originally bought for concerts. I don’t know if you can wear something like that or noise cancelling headphones, but that might help on occasion.

I’ll watch it eventually for the soundtrack, but Jared gives me the creeps.

I don’t trust her; she’s still a terrible Christian nationalist. I do agree on some of her more reasonable takes lately, but she still has an angle to stay in power.
