Messages has inexplicably begun to convey my husband's reactions in French. Pourquoi?

I have shelves of well-loved cookbooks. But every once in a while, I tell the LLM what I've got on hand and ask it to suggest a dish or menu. Sometimes I iterate with it, sometimes I look up the recipe in a cookbook if I've got it. FWIW it's never suggested rocks or glue ;)

Over Thanksgiving we stayed with dear friends in both the Palisades and Altadena. Both might have lost the homes in whose guest rooms we were so comfortably ensconced. My heart goes out to them and everyone affected by these devastating fires. Gratitude to the first responders and good Samaritans.

How, in 2024, do a female GYN office’s exam rooms not have a hook / hangers for clothing? #smdh

“Proto Pretty” by Wondermints is a perfect pop tune. Listening to it makes me smile.

TFW you thought you’d put your phone on sleep focus before bed but you didn’t, and a text buzzes through to your watch and wakes you up after only 5 hours of sleep. 😵‍💫

Me, furiously closing the several dozen open apps on my phone: how on earth do I have that many apps going?

Me, five minutes later: I already have two dozen apps open again.

Bemused at marketers frantically sending "Last chance to save!" emails as if consumers aren't well aware they'll have many, many MORE "last chances" to save, with perhaps even better discounts, every week from now until eternity.

Husband has declared tonight is the night for our annual rewatch of The Holiday. This is the way.

As many times as I’ve been to the park, I don’t believe I’ve ever tried that restaurant. Going on my list for next time!

A virtual certificate with text "Celebrating 10M users on Bluesky, #45,300, Arlene Wszalek ‪@arlenewszalek.com‬, joined on Apr 27, 2023"

Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #45,300!

Howdy, y'all. I haven't been as active here as on other platforms, but I'm here. Nice to see you.

Any Wikipedia editing experts out there? I want to create a full page for someone who's currently only listed as a redirect and I don't know how to edit that. I have the page itself drafted in markup, but want to correctly add it without incurring the wrath of the editing community. @xor.blue? TIA!

Apropos of nothing in particular, but just in case anyone’s wondering - Yes, from the stage, we can pretty much see anyone in the orchestra seats.

My dentist made a Shakespeare authorship joke the other day, and was a little *too* impressed when I immediately countered with a Marlowe reference. Dude, you're not the only one in this room who attended college, you know.

Nice! My TW, Threads and IG handles are my AOL screen name (@wzzy). My original name here was that too, but I changed to my website to verify.

Saw in your post you were at AOL in the mid-90s. I was too (albeit AOL UK). Small world etc.!

We saw them play a daytime side stage at Life Is Beautiful in 2013. They were electrifying. And Alana was thrilled to be in Vegas because it was her first time there since turning 21 :).

You’d think FB wouldn’t suggest as a friend someone with whom you were already friends, but has apparently unfriended you (and the suggestion is how you discover this).

But you’d be wrong. Sigh.

You 100% should do that.

The latest version I’m getting is along the lines of “we’ve had a few slots open up in our schedule next week to discuss how our product / service will jump start your business. Click on the day and time below that works best for you to set up a meeting.”

Two words: AS IF

I would ask “are you effing kidding me” except I 100% know you are not. WTF is wrong with people?!
