I Love My Coworkers

One of the folks on our office’s GSA group chat posted this:

A calendar app with four scheduled events between 1 and 4:30 pm: "Meeting with IMPORTANT VENDOR," "Mental Breakdown Time (MANDATORY)," "IMPORTANT HUDDLE," and "IMPORTANT BRAINSTORM."
Gonna be putting “Mandatory Mental Breakdown” for all my appointments now

Wrong Number

The world is full of mysteries. Some may one day be solved, while others may outlast the lifetime of the universe.

For example: who the hell is “Anne,” and why does she keep giving people my phone number??

I have been getting calls from strangers asking for “Anne” for the last fifteen years or so. Does she honestly not know her own phone number? Do our numbers just happen to be one easily-confused digit apart? Or does she think she’s giving a “fake” number to people she doesn’t want to be contacted by?

Anne, if by some chance you’re reading this: PLEASE STOP GIVING MY PHONE NUMBER TO STRANGERS!

Hypothesis

Observations:

  • “Right” policies tend to be more reactionary, focusing on preserving the past.
  • “Left” policies tend to be more revolutionary, focusing on preparing for the future.

Conclusion: even if we assume Rightists and Leftists are about equally likely (on average) to be in the wrong about any particular issue at any particular point in time, we would still expect societies as a whole to gradually shift Leftward–which is, in fact, what history shows.

Thoughts?

It’s a Fact

My spouse: “I’m probably biased, but I genuinely think we have two of the cutest dogs in the world.”

Me: “You are absolutely biased, and also correct.”

I’m Slow!

Undertale.

Under. Tale.

Under, like…underground. Like in a cave.

Tale, like…a story.

An underground story.

A cave story, if you will.

HOW DID IT TAKE ME TEN YEARS TO GET THAT REFERENCE???

Another Open Letter

To everybody who thinks “not being into politics” makes you neutral, Deltarune would like to have a word with you:

A friendly monster shaped like an electrical outlet talks to a group of heroes: "If you didn't know, an evil ruler is taking over this world."
A friendly monster shaped like an electrical outlet talks to a group of heroes: "I don't really like politics, so I have no opinion on this."

My Daughter Taught Me an Easy Way to Draw the Millennium Falcon

Two simple but evocative line drawings of the Millennium Falcon from Star Wars, nose-on view. The one on the right is fat and lopsided.
Her drawing is the one on the left. Obviously.

(No one else taught her this trick, by the way. She came up with it on her own.)
