According to Apple Photos, this is a banded garden spider. 🤷‍♂️ Whatever it is, it was enough to keep my youngest from going and picking tomatoes for supper. 🫣

A banded garden spider in a tomato bush literally hanging by a thread.

That’ll fix me.

Promo email from Skip the Dishes featuring a KD Mac & Cheese Chicken sandwich from KFC reading “The Colonel’s getting Krafty. Chris, what do you get when two classics collide? You get KFC’s new KD® Mac & Cheese Chicken Sandwich. For a limited time, buy one and get another free.”

Morning me makes a lot of plans that afternoon me says I can leave for tomorrow me.

I feel like Voicenotes didn’t need to come at me so viciously in the title like that. 😆

Title reading letting melancholy ruin evening with dad energy suck.

Why is seeing the full body of people you only know online like seeing your teacher at the grocery store? 😆

“You exist outside of my computer screen? You have more than a floating head??”

If you’re not recording your podcast like this, I don’t know what to tell you.

two dudes appear to be peeing into the same urinal together, arms around each other.

It’s just a blog. But blogging is the shit.

I got lucky.

Super thankful that the Costco queso dip has all the nutritional requirements for a healthy meal.

Just add chips and you’re good! 😋

I realize this is very “old man shakes fists at new tech”, but I really dislike how every platform has to also be a video platform. I can’t leave a social app’s website open without some video playing on a loop.

Back in the day, YouTube was video or you didn’t have video and we liked it. 😆

For the second night in a row, I got Worldle in two. Should I go but a lottery ticket?

Anyone made the transition from 1Password to Apple’s native Passwords app? How’d it go?

The problem with articles that state “Apple is moving forward with its project to develop a tabletop robotic device…” but then bury that it’s a rumor further down is the rest of the internet talks about it as if Apple had a press conference announcing it.

Apple Aiming to Launch Tabletop Robotic Home Device as Soon as 2026 With Pricing Around $1,000. Apple is moving forward with its project to develop a tabletop robotic device, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman.

4 years ago my favorite tv series came out and almost nobody watched it for months. I didn’t try it until September, 2020. Then suddenly everyone was watching it.

Happy birthday to Ted Lasso. 💙

Turns out I shouldn’t have been ignoring those “we need you to update your banking information for some affiliate payouts” emails—$160USD is like $800CAD (not quite). Definitely helps pay for a coffee or tooth repair.

Tally from supper: two umbrellas broken, three fingers with a hot dog stick sized burn mark, and 9 hot dogs consumed.

All things considered I’d call that a win. 🏆

I agree with Gruber: Patreon should call Apple’s bluff.

I know for a fact that you can have a fun, engaging public persona AND be a kind person running a business. I’ve experienced kindness so often with clients I have the opportunity to work with that the odd time someone lacks empathy and is a jerk in private, it actually shocks me deeply.
