I’m not sure our tech future is working out as well as it could have.

One of the designers my software team works with opened his first PR on Friday. (AI was involved.)
Anyone want to guess what every single meeting I’ve had since has been about?
The U.S. is going to run Venezuela now?
I’m angry. I’m particularly angry that I expect everyone to grumble a little bit and then go back to pretending we’ll be able to vote these traitors out in the next election with no other action necessary.

It finally happened.
I’m not really one to post or talk about celebrities, but Rob Reiner’s death hits hard. I woke up still with a pit in my stomach. Seeing the nonsense the piece of shit in office wrote turns that grief into anger.
Watched: Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair ๐ฟ
This is being shown in 70mm at the Hollywood theater in Portland, Oregon right now. This was a real treat, even with sitting in a theater seat for four and a half hours.
Watched: The Family McMullen ๐ฟ
We watched this movie and the prequel today. They were both rather fun.
Watched: The Roses ๐ฟ
This was fun, but perhaps a little too serious for my liking at times.
Watched: The Outfit ๐ฟ
My neighbor recommended this and I’m glad she did. I’ll gladly watch it again.
A short video of the river near Clarkston.
It was a lovely day to drive home today. My drive was a little longer than expected taking my daughter to the airport for an unexpected adventure that was planned just today! I’ll post more about that and share some pictures from my trip after I sleep.
The sun is shining. Nice day for a drive.
It’s still dark when I log into work in the morning currently so I’ve been turning on these white Christmas lights. Calcifer came to visit this morning and he looked cute in the soft light.
I’ve seen various posts joking (or not) about the decision to deploy ALL the software with a single company.
I just got an email from a local sewing company that they are closing for the day because their registers and credit card systems aren’t working.
So much for separation of concerns.
Ally recently joined the woodworking guild and today she’s volunteering with her grandfather (Matt’s dad) at the guild for the first time. They are building toys to be donated to families in need closer to the winter holidays. ๐ฅฐ
Watched: The Godfather ๐ฟ This movie gets better every time I watch it.
This text from my introverted friend that works at the same large company as my introverted husband made me laugh.
You know when you see a mom or a dad first thing in the morning on TV? They’re fully dressed and look ready to conquer the world? Why doesn’t anyone show the person tiptoeing around in the dark trying not to wake their family while they get dressed and make coffee?
Good morning.
Watched: One Battle After Another ๐ฟ
Others have said that going into this movie not knowing anything is the way to go. I’ll agree with that. It’s great though.
Finished reading: Abundance by Derek Thompson and Ezra Klein ๐
Reading any book related to politics now feels like it MUST be out of date, given how quickly things have/are changing in the US. This book though is about how some democratic policies have led to a lot of the struggles we’re having with things like homelessness. It’s a good read.
My daughter recently started watching The X-Files for the first time. ๐บ I haven’t watched it since it first aired and I didn’t watch all of it so I’m rewatching it now. Every episode has a moment of “Whoa, it’s that person!” or “Wait, who is that?” immediately followed by “Wow, they are so young!”
The cat takes advantage of the recliner every time I try to work there. He’s pretty cute, but then every once in a while he tries to lick his neck hairs which get stuck in his mouth because they’re too long. :laughing: Am I supposed to trim them??
Does he look annoyed or bored to you?
I forgot about the “new job, new laptop” excitement! My new computer arrived yesterday. Hehe!
I’m looking forward to next week. (Fully expecting to need extra sleep as well.)
It’s been five years since my best friend passed away. I think she would hate for her digital legacy to be stuck on Facebook at this point, but that’s where it is. I can’t bring myself to log in over there to see if anyone else noted this anniversary so I hate that it’s there too.
