My interview got canceled. In their defense my company is one of their clients and he didn’t want to poach. But he had my resume so it was surprising to get it canceled about three hours in advance. And he went on to say I was a really good fit based on experience and resume but he just couldn’t ris...

There’s way more content than there used to be. Maybe you ought to follow more people. Search “starter pack” and you can see packs of people to follow with one click for specific interests. Oh, it's definitely better than it was. But it's still orders of magnitude below Twitter. There are close to ...

Anyone ever cooked a lamb steak? I sometimes go to the grocery at lunch to grab a couple of days meals and there was a local farm there selling their lamb. I've had lamb chops and if done well they are great but that's happened rarely so I avoid. But the price was fine, the woman was borderling anno...

I You dont need invites anymore, but I've taken to making sure I click on articles I may have even read already from Bluesky links because I figure the more clicks they get from that traffic source maybe the more it will be used. It's already better for me than it was a month ago.

Carried a vape on a plane (in my carry-on) the other day for my trip to St. Louis. My ass was clenched. Of course, it was no issue at all. I always put them in my toiletries bag in my checked suitcase. I'll never fly with flower, but with vape or gummies all the time. I keep gummies in my toiletrie...

Working hard not to give into suicidal thoughts.

I am in no way saying you aren't having valid feelings, but don't let them win like that. Trust me, you're needed for your immediate family and in ways you can't understand or explain the where, when or why at the moment.

I don't watch the NFL anymore, so maybe I missed something...but did the trade rules change sometime in the last few years? It used to be there were very few trades before the "trade deadline"...and just from the headlines on ESPN, it seems like way more players changed teams this season....

These numbers are borderline non-sensical, even knowing they aren't final yet.

I’m glad you posted that, LJam. Agree completely; I just can’t focus enough to write anything that thorough . Anyway, I deleted Twitter from my phone. I don’t know if that will stick, but it’s all I could do. Same, Steve. Same. I can't prepare even unfocused thoughts, and despite the good sense mad...

My wife and I have barely spoken today but I'm guessing a topic of conversation will be moving.

If you're in Canada, STAY in Canada.

Weird, I thought Rafael always headed towards Cancun.

Blue wave. Weed and abortions for everyone in Florida. I want to go so far as to say Rick Scott loses, despite the vanilla ass campaign the DNC ran for Debbie Mucarsel-Powell. She and Allred were by far the worst twitter ad offenders for me. 10 minute wait to vote. Nothing difficult. Youngest had a...

I got distracted and forgot to post that I had a pollster come to my door yesterday. It was about a ballot issue for vouchers for schooling. Asked if I had time for a few questions. I said "Sure" and he goes "Are you planning on voting yes or no on Amendment #2? I say "no" a...

Got it back on Saturday, and just in time for a) The Big Dark, and b) pounding rain this morning. Yuck.

Sadly, you've proven it could be worse.

Not only does my state really not matter but it also is one of the first to close. May have been the first announced last time. Anyway, if the results in KY are closer than 2020 it will make for an interesting night elsewhere.

Anyone do any hiring? Just wondering what employers are looking for these days in terms of interview questions. I haven't been on this side in a bit and all my experience is with college kids looking for internships which is different than what I'm doing. Had an opportunity come my way that I owe it...

First cassette I recall is Bon Jovi Slippery When Wet. I also got an LL Cool J very early (Walking with a Panther?) and I THINK my first CD was bought in college and it was Tom Petty's wildflowers. My house already had most of the Billy Joel catalog already, but I do recall finally finding Cold Spri...

I laugh every time at the blonde Mom with glasses and a tech-bro vest in the PNC commercial. She's also the caveman's wife in a Geico ad where they're playing a guessing game on an ipad. Oh shit! Nice. The caveman’s delivery of “Mallorca!?” gets me every time. She's got to be a recurring character ...

I made a joke about that line recently but can't find the thread. It was super duper funny, you can believe that.

It takes a lot to bring this Country together, but it sure seems like both sides hate Nate Silver and his analysis. Nate himself doesn't seem to care for it, either. All that work, and he's just repeating "it doesn't matter! we don't know!" 2016 did a number on him.

That movie scared me shitless as a kid. I just rewatched it and couldn't help but chuckle. Still pretty fun, though. Any horror fans here? I don't care much for things like The Terrifier or the later saws. Gore for gore's sake doesn't do it for me. I need jump scares and psychological I guess. Anyho...
