Have you tried not being sad?

First day of our first real vacation in...5 years? Since COVID, certainly. Long day of travel, couple of flight delays, but successfully made it to the hotel with enough time to order room service and collapse into bed.

Every year we have a big family group chat to decide who will bring what to Thanksgiving even though everyone ends up bringing the same thing every year. I always bring pies.

This year, my young, recently-married cousin said his wife was going to bake a pumpkin pie. He got that message out just moments before I hit send on my annual "I'll bring pies" text. A few minutes later I got a text from my dad saying, "Your grandma wanted to make sure you didn't buy a pumpkin pie since Allie is going to make one." I said I did see it and I promised not to upstage the newest member of the family. Apple and cherry were still mine to cover.

Three days later grandma died in her sleep, and I take that as a sign to never buy pumpkin pie again.

Pivot tables are what separate us from the ape.

Seriously, it was right there.

I am not a socialist, trade unionist, or a Jew, so I don't see any problems here.

Coronation Street. I spend $10 a month for a BritBox subscription to watch just that.

I get that it's cool to shit on superhero movies these days, but man I hope this is good. I am a DC fan and the Snyder movies never did it for me.

Oh no! Forever is such a long time!

Oh cool, congrats Disney.

Speaking from experience, yes. This is the level of military humor.

Nice pair of sunglasses. Wanted them, didn't need them, bought them anyway. My wife thinks they look nice on me. Win win.
