no i’m not
my employer’s parent company is adding a category for AI usage to its annual employee performance review criteria, meaning my access to pay increases are now at least partially dependent on me using AI in my work unless i can fib it somehow 😑

Was sweeping some webs I thought were old and abandoned off the wall outside our front door and accidentally yanked this gal out from under the siding, definitely one of the bigger spiders I’ve seen lately

i havent played fantasy football in a couple years but yahoo still emails me every year around this time reminding me as commissioner that it’s time to activate my league for the season, is this what it feels like to have an ex who wants you back and texts you on your anniversary?

The number of white children wearing Native American costumes at the child’s school history day today is disappointing

Between this and the news report I saw on TikTok last night about the quadruple amputee cornhole champion being accused of shooting a passenger in his car while driving, I’m finding appreciation for rollercoaster headlines that don’t have international security implications

have only followed nfl sparingly in recent seasons but happy for k1 to get away from the AZ dysfunction, he was doomed to fail from the start there

Made the mistake of opening LinkedIn and was immediately hit with a post that literally said “If you're not being called a "Christian Nationalist" your gospel is too small.”

I’ve poked my head back into nfl happenings a bit more this season and I don’t know if it’s actually ramped up or if I had just been desensitized to it before taking a season or two off, but the quantity and severity of injuries going on is sickening

Overheard some of the child’s 2nd-3rd grade softball teammates tonight talking about who’s dating who in their class and breaking up and such and the wife had to explain to me that that is normal and appropriate behavior at that age

literally within a couple days of kd being traded to Houston I’ve started listening to suns podcasts again and paying attention to the nba draft
i feel like i was one of the few fans that wasn’t thrilled about the suns trading away their future for kd and i lost a lot of interest in following the team with any sort of intentionality after that, hard not to feel vindicated now

haven’t followed NFL much the last couple years, so seeing that Dan Quinn, Jayden Daniels, Austin Ekeler, Zach Ertz, and Zane Gonzales were all in the conference championship on the same team and that team is the Washington commanders took me a second to wrap my head around

I witnessed a fatal vehicle vs pedestrian accident from about 15 feet away the other night and somehow I didn’t expect it to be traumatizing?
