Wow. It's got to be bad when a bunch of Republicans vote to expel one of their own.

One time a participant in one of my webinars gave feedback that Armani coming on camera was “unprofessional” and like. My guy. He is wearing a tuxedo, how much more professional can you get??

If you ever think Democrats aren't doing enough about the climate emergency, remember that it's because Republicans are stopping them.

OK, web search is failing me - whose rule or law is it that being an expert in one field doesn't make you an expert in another? Want to quote for a slide deck. thx - G

PSA: If you putting a link in Mastodon, please include the https:// part so Mastodon turns it into a clickable link. I see a lot of artists promoting stuff on itch.io who fail to create a clickable link.

There as a time when Macs were more expensive, but you knew you were getting good hardware. Now they're just more expensive.
My current MacBook Pro has defective speakers that crackle. I took it into the Genius Bar and they told me it would be $700 to replace them because of they way they're intgrated.
So I think I'll just use this thing into the ground and get a Framework for my next machine. Replacement kit for those speakers? $19.
A dominatrix's boudoir is known as her inner spanktum -- or, in the case of the Dominatrix Supreme, the Spanktum Spanktorum.

For those interested in #romance book covers, @peterdrake sent me this nifty visual essay he found in the Data is Plural newsletter: What does a happily ever after look like? from Alice Liang.

The Google Sheet with the data is also kind of fun to play with and has later thumbnails for the covers.

When my wife texts me “I am craving something but I don’t know what,” it means I’m going to make a cake.
I can’t, though, just jump to “do you want cake?” First we must dance around it. I must offer many other options, which she considers and then discards. Finally only cake is left and she asks for cake.
That’s usually about the time the oven is done preheating.
Finally tried out Daybreak solo. It's quite good. The rulebook and graphic design are unusually clear.
