Somebody in "event planning" must have seen that recent meme pointing out that for school shootings to be less suspicious there'd be more workplace shootings.

My best friend says it's great. She's been trying to get me into it for years, but every time I try, it just seems like a bunch of talking.

It's Season 10 (the reboot) and it starts with the episode My Struggle, guest-starring Joel McHale as Alex Jones!

Berlin Brigade -- what they call a "parade duty" station. Basically everything was a four-hour formation.

Right. Plus, if it's anything like our Army, those guys were standing there for an hour before the people even showed up.

The context of this cartoon sums up exactly my experience with Austin Coding Academy.

They boast a 90+% placement rate, but then don't tell you until later that that's for those who don't drop out. But even then, that number seems suspect from my own experience.

Somehow, after coding for 40 years (I made this in one day, just because I didn't like daily limits on the NYT version), and just taking their course as skill maintenance, and as a way to ease into the industry, they were "unable" to place me, while the little cutie girls who could barely sort an array all got hired almost immediately.

I keep saying "how can I blame them?" I mean, it's a bunch of horny nerds who just got a billion dollars in venture capital. Who would you hire? But I'm not going to pretend it's not insulting.

So now, every time I see one of their fancy diversity photos, I gently point out that "I'm not seeing a lot of diversity here -- looks like everybody's under 35).

My best friend's been telling this same story for 20 years, but not as a dream.

Yeah, the organization can shout from the rooftops that they weren't forced to do anything, but their names were literally put on a list and not only made public, but were presented as news.

The attribution says the data goes to 2016. I'd sure like to see the same chart for the last three years or so, but who can't figure out what it would look like by themselves, amirite.

I thought "woke" was code for gay.

In fact, I have a whole head-canon around the idea that God only lets Hell and Death people loose on the Earth during Apocalypses (apocalypsi?), and when those people realize they're alive they say, "I'm woke," and proceed to rush back right where they came from.

At my old job we clocked in and out of work by using a face scanner. It was creepy. I was a janitor.

2023: Sniffles Pandemic

W.H.O.: for the safety and wellbeing of all the people, we must confiscate all your guns to rid the world of this terrible sniffling disease. Don't ask how they're related--it's science. Trust dze science! Or do you want Grandma to die again?!

At least the article links to an existing copy of the conversation on Rumble.

It's certainly not cheap. A lot of times when the strawbs or blackbs are about to go out of date I can get them on the cheap, but I haven't seen any discount avocados, yet.

As for what happens to it--I live in a "home for broken people," so I can tell you first hand that when a lot of the produce is starting to go out of date, it often ends up here. I got some barely wilty celery just the other day, and there's almost always a box full of those tiny potatoes and leafy something-or-others.

This guy.

I eat dragon fruit, kiwis, strawbs, bluebs, and tons of blackberries ("blackbs" is hard to say--but I do). I like to make eggplant parm, and I even bought a head of cabbage once (because I was drunk and thought it was lettuce). And I'm real happy about onions.

Now that my taste buds have evolved (that's what my best friend says), I'm all about broccoli and cauliflower. I eat them just with some ranch as a snack, and have three unopened bags of M&Ms that have been sitting here for a month.

Surprisingly, not a huge fan of bananas. Maybe I'm burnt out on them. I also like those tiny cherry tomatoes.

The one thing I can't get behind lately, though, is the $2 avocados. I was going to make up a batch of guac last week just to see if it was cheaper than buying it already made, and didn't make it past the first ingredient.
