I don’t know if I’ve mentioned it lately, but fuck cancer.

@inthehands isEmpty.LOLNOT

I still can’t get over Alito publishing his “how dare you plebes question me accepting free travel” screed in the Wall Street Journal.

Was just looking at some stuff in my finance software, and apparently since I bought my Chevy Bolt in May 2020, I've paid 334.99 for electricity not included in my regular electric bill.

Not per year, over the entire three years.

For comparison, in the year my wife and I lived together before we moved to NL, we spent over $450 on gas alone for her Toyota Corolla, which isn't exactly a gas guzzler.

Number of bandaids required after dropping a bowl in the sink, causing it to shatter into large pieces: 0

Number of bandaids required after gluing the bowl back together: 3

Number of those bandaids I discovered I needed by pouring vinegar on my hand to get glue off: 1

I'd join Procrastinators Anonymous, but nobody's gotten around to starting it.

“Well, that’s good, I’m not as fucked as I thought I was” I say as I finish working on my talk at 2am, then set a 7am alarm to do a run through and final tweaks.
