Lawful Irritated

IMHO, having myself played soccer with an intensity that cowed the other 7yr olds: FUCK these sore loser parents! Those 5 yr olds could've snagged the ball, but they hesitated. Their coach should work on that. He's hogging the ball from teammates? Coach on assisting, or rotate him to goalie some.

The first genuinely honest ad for generative AI I've ever seen, from Microsoft / CoPilot A mediocre white guy sees his non-white colleague getting praised for good work, he asks AI to *literally copy it*, and then he gets all the praise instead: www.ispot.tv/ad/SoDi/micr...

D&D team and Magic Studio X are unionizing! You can show support via the petition below.

It gives me no joy to say this is giving Leda Beda Boda Butt energy.

Dark day. Dolly is one of a few famous people I would have really liked to meet, just to briefly tell her how much I love her work and admire just... her whole deal.

Graham checking out is a very pleasant surprise to end the evening with! I think I'll make time for a cocktail tomorrow to celebrate.

My wife makes this cocktail that's vodka, cranberry juice, lemon juice, and pomegranate syrup (i hove no clue what the proportions are) & it's deliciously refreshing. She also only makes it in full size mason jars, so it will fuck you up quickly.

Today my mom retired. Commercial flowers are atrociously expensive, so yesterday we hit up Trader Joe's, spent $40 picking out flowers to fill this huge vase i got for free from a funeral years ago. Wife did the amazing 3ft tall arraignment, & we surprised Mom after work!

Fuck i'm exhausted. Last night a couple of my ribs decided to wander from their usual places for no apparent reason. Spent most of today with intense pain, only able to breathe shallow (deep was stabbing pain & coughing). Chiro this afternoon helped, but all my torso meat is still very angry.

Just an excellent metaphor for art. This man is a treasure.

I don't think there's a better way to summarize this situation, she's just right. And while I don't think it's required, her restraint & poise discussing these events is mind blowing.

Finished the candy hearts my wife got me. These have to be the least cute fucking heart phrases I've ever seen. "Buy n bulk"? "Car pool"? Just depressing.

It's darkly fun for me to look at these AI images to pick out all the fucked up shit in them. Sort of like those "Find the differences!" things from kid's menus, except I deeply despise that these AI images exist in the first place.

post a banger that isn't in English

OK, first bout of creative frenzy over. Next I'll try a close portrait sketch because.... that face is suboptimal.

My D&D group all just rolled new characters. I've gotten so excited about mine (homebrew Sprite species, with eventual homebrew Oath of Protection paladin) that I dug out my old sketchbook to do a couple character drawings. Off to a good start, I think, considering I'm a rusty amateur.

Our cat Goblin is starting to feel his age in a way that only creates more foolishness. There's a 7ft tall bookshelf in my wife's office that he can still jump on top of, but he's not confident enough to get back down. So randomly he just starts screaming from the bookshelf & we have to rescue him.

This is of limited value. I sorta did this in 2011, specifically because the GOP & repubs i knew seemed extra bonkers. For context i decided to follow all the prominent talk radio, FOX, etc. Didn't take long to see the propaganda & complete disconnect from reality then. No need to bathe in it now.

This is the energy.

That insane bus thread ended up on national news and "live skeeted" is the official term used

when I say the smaller and more clever the better (no seriously click through, the process is documented with all the batty glory of some nerd’s kickass hyperfixation apple.news/AJFw_gLreSxq...

This is the funniest thing that's ever happened on Threads.

I may be weirdly petty, but I volunteered to make the mascot image for a corporate team competition event purely because I didn't want someone else using AI to do it. BLITZEN'S VIXENS will do just fine with some Clipart & ms paint, thank you.

Had to replace my car battery for the forst time in a decade, damn those have gotten expensive! Was able to zip out to Costco after work, swap the battery in the parking lot, & immediately turn in the old one. Also, good job 4-years-ago-me for buying a cheap metric socket set i almost never need!

Just finished the Predator marathon my wife wanted to do. The vast majority were solid action movies with good to great writing & cinematography! Predator 2 is... aggressively 90's. AVP Requiem is a huge turd. Unfocused, shot so dark & edited so badly you can't SEE what's happening half the time.

Fucking hell. 10 inches of snow, and half of it is the wet, dense stuff. It's taken me an hour to do about a quarter of the total shoveling I have to do. Admittedly, I've hit the most difficult 100 sq ft (there's a part of my driveway where there's nowhere to PUT the stuff), so it gets easier.

Solidarity with your fellow workers! Don't buy anything from Starbucks.

We were gifted a used litter robot 3 about 1.5 years ago. Despite a recurring bonnet error problem & some mystery litter leakage, it was still a huge improvement from multiple standard boxes. Since I got a modest windfall, we just upgraded to a 4. I'm immediately impressed with how quiet it is.

"Kaegan, you can't do this right now, there are demons." This fantastic sentance brought to you my wife trying play Diablo 4, but Kaegan keeps rubbing her face on the controller and firing off random abilities.

Ancient Congressman: so it said, "notices, bulges, oh double-u oh-" Patel: sir, it was actually "notices bulge, oh-woh" AC: what's an oh-woh? P: it's a face, sir AC: a face? P: the Os are wide eyes AC: why is the mouth a W? P: I believe it's a dog, sir, or maybe a cat AC: and the bulge?

Mmmmmmm! Homemade margaritas with fresh lime and cointreau, just because it sounded good. I do not deserve my beautiful, talented wife. I'm so spoiled!

Deliriously bad AI slop restaurant site, but OP's alt-text alone is worth a glance.
