For years I have been affectionately teased for my love of notebooks and stationary. Which is FINE, families gonna fam, I dish out all that I take, rest assured.

But an hour ago Jupiter was like, “You know, I really want to start cooking, and have a notebook where I put recipes,” and I was on it like white on rice. Here, want to check out my blank notebook collection and pick one? They did. Want to use my corner cutter to round all the corners? They did. Want to use my rainbow of index cards and specialized hole punch to make colored notes for your sections? Want this cute food-themed washi tape? Want me to write up tonight’s soup recipe? YES!

They were just standing at the kitchen table, putting their notebook together using all my stuff, and they’re like, “Mom! This is so cool! You’re so magical!” And I’m standing there with the gazillion-watt glow of my decades-long niche nerdy obsession saving the day, and being loudly recognized and appreciated about it. 😂

And may I share an ambitious goal with you?

I want to start advocating for the Louvre Museum to join the Fediverse (they're currently on all Big Tech social platforms only). Let's see what I can do 🤗

Actually, let me try something different than just asking for money for TDOV:

If you have any possible leads or hiring power for a job that hires for WFH customer/tech support out of Washington state PLEASE message or DM me and if you don't please share this.

The Boeing E-3 Sentry is a flying command-and-control center. It's a tactical spy plane, designed to give commanders a sweeping, real-time picture of everything on the battlefield.

They are rare, old, and very expensive. Iran blew one up, along with some air to air refueling planes, and injuring 10-14 soldiers, numbers vary upon report, but it's getting very little airplay in American media.

This yahoo link was the best nonpaywalled source I could find that also linked out to a ton of other sources.

Responses from AI chatbots when prompted with posts from Reddit’s Am I The Asshole (AITA) subreddit show they are 49% more likely to side with the author than the consensus of comments from other users.

AI sycophancy will be an insidious problem over time as people get life advice that validates their terrible behavior.

I’ve been running this site on Hugo for several years now, and for most of that time I used other people’s themes and tweaked things around the edges. A few months ago, I decided to build my own...

The most horrifying part in their "consolidated reply": they agree that they could in fact cause permanent eye damage to people using medium-sized telescopes. WILD.
