You’re killing it today, OC. My life is better for it. One Day!
I’m not preaching, shaming, or trying to convince. But for me, the f-head /lives/ for attention so I refuse to watch him live. If it’s “important” (rarely) I watch after the fact. But you do you! 👊🏻
I find it oddly calming to watch him (muted!) and note the ongoing expressions of the lackeys around him as he spouts his stuff.
One of those things where it was difficult to find something constructive to say (when we learned of it) 🤷♂️
And the Giants won the game handily which is, admittedly, of much less significance. But still.., 😝😇🤡
💯 the first hack will be the LEO satts
This is my life in microcosm or a scene from a sitcom. To amp it up, always retell the story having it be your first day? 🤷♂️🤣
Exactly what we said. And these two people are “nice”, average, everyday peeps with kids between them, etc.
It was IIRC in eastern Europe so maybe they expect such interference… IDK
Here’s one that hits: a person I know distantly admitted to using a chat client to reply to authentic relationship questions posed by their on again off again partner. SMH.
FWIW (likely nothing) there was a news story this week about a plane carrying the EU President having landing issues because of GPS jamming. They landed safely using (checks notes) paper maps. Jets carrying paper maps? 🤷♂️
Many people say it will be the greatest thing they’ve ever heard. 😜
TIL 👍🙏
Let’s ask a doctor. @lisalindeman.bsky.social
Or… you could lounge 🤷♂️
I have a ‘Jeremy Irons’ holding for you on line two…😝
Same, brother. (Only mine was an English minor.) 💪
Might be difficult to find. Something about the eye of a needle IRRC. 🤷
Copyrighted material, Miss. Or not? 🤡🤣
Can confirm. In Northern CA as well.
LOVED you on the podcast with Rishi(?) 🤣😜
IKR. You have to step outside yourself and think like an Ikean. 🤷♂️🏠🤯
Oooof. TFW your All-star reliever gets a Tommy John recommendation. 😭
Damn. Conquest vs skill again and again. 🤷♂️ (btw, Giants are in the teasing phase. 5-0 over their last five.)🤣🤪
Bert 😍
+1
Nice! But not the same as those shots where the backdrop is the hiking paths. (Foothills?) Anyway, teach the kids baseball is good. Regardless of what they see locally 😜
Does my dog shaking his head at me count?
Whoa there, PJs. Those are skilled professionals out there (I think…) 🤡🤣
Maybe not a plot, but probably needs conflict… 🤷♂️
Those matter but not as much as the ones lower. If you know what I mean…
Like a Rockies, er, I mean Giants win. 🥃
The only way forward is now up! 🔥🤡
At least it’s not 100 degrees 👊🏻
Neil deGrasse Tyson: “Imagine thinking scientists, historians, scholars, economists, and journalists devoted their lives to deceiving you — but a reality-TV star, proven in court to be a lying felon, is your beacon of truth and honesty.”
I’ve long claimed my left hand was a gift to from Symmetry… 🤷♂️🤡🤪
Ready for tickling.., 🎹
IDK about any of this, but part of me is imagining there are AI boards now. 🤷♂️
And write what you know 😝🤪😜🤡
Honestly was thinking PT Barnum… 🤷♂️
We preach what we need to hear? But honestly I am SO there with this. 🙏👊🏻👍💪🔥✅
And the guys just won’t read fiction 😱

LOL. Either way. One of a kind, And 3 years, just 3 seasons of the original. And the show’s “children” just won a couple of Hugo awards. Boggles.
@lisalindeman.bsky.social RIP, GR 🙏
Love that moment on the freeway…. 🚗🚘🚖🚖🚖🚖🚖🚖🚙🚙
That’s an interesting approach. If it works for you, go for it! 🔥
Hard pass. 💩
U2 Much?
Here here! 👊🏻💪🙏
Microcosm 2025…
Damn those jeans after all 🤷♂️
That feeling when you can remember the 60s, albeit through non adult eyes.
Yep. They keep my dog from growing old. 🐶
Happy Birthday! Squirrels 🐿️
Fair point. 💪
Well “that” one (not me!) is just mean. But busy…. 🏔️
One (idly) wonders if the list is longer than the one for the Rockies. I swear, idly. ⚾
As if that guy was someone to "want to be descended from". But, school me, I'm rather history-impaired (or is it ignorant). Feeling like a dumb-sneaker atm...
Another cup of joe.
Actually, I'm doing critiques of my pals. (I always learn so much doing that.) Then, onto my stuff. I promise.
Preach!
Why must they be neighbors, though?😝
Blink the lights at them again… I think that was the line… 🤷♂️
He called it Newspeak IIRC…
Lake was having a moment!!
How low can one go? I suppose we’ll find out.
Ray.
Thank you, Rob! 🙏
Hello. Sci-fi here. Would love to play. Thank you.🙏
Shots fired. 🤷♂️💥
He asked them to wait so he could get his shoes. After being “shot”. Now that’s calm under pressure. 🤣
Let’s shift some registers, yeah? Difficult to attract anybody. LOL.

Save some journey for tomorrow…👊🏻
@sydneyscottauthor.bsky.social History at last 💥
Only our choice of how we treat each other. That includes book reviewers… 😇🌕
And what better place to pose the question than here (or is it 'then here')? 😜
I think, first, they would attempt to steal your personal data. 🤷
But once if it gets going, it will be a bitch to stop.
And she did….
And Theranos screwed over some blue bloods. This time around I’m betting they’re all on the high ground.
Contrenyms as well.
Curious: pantser or plotter or hybrid?
Rock on!
Was it not HeWhoCannotBeNamed?
Wait— I was told there were no Dumb Questions …. But yet you rank them. Hmmmmmmmm
Finally... MLB can go fast, and oh, so slow.
Actually surprised it's so 'goldless'. 🤷♂️
💯 I actually thought you’d define it as “not allowed to wears jeans”. 🤡 Hope it works out for you….
Honestly have no mental model for what a 'traditional job' is in 2025 (one that doesn't use AI or pay in crypto?), but I'm trusting you do, and thus: Well done, indeed. 💪
Real writers edit:
Because everyone has a bad day?
Play ball!
One can only hope you've given a balanced account of their story. 🤪😇💸

A girl’s gotta do what a girl’s gotta do (even if it involves the Rockies)… 💪👊🏻🔥💥
And considering staying off (reducing exposure to?) "social media"....
Cling to that one percent 🤷♂️
