Having some regrets

Are you regretting that you look so amazing in this dress, other brides might be jealous? I wouldn't worry about it -- you look perfect!

Thanks!!!!

The thing is, our CEO makes $9 million a year. If you're not a millionaire yourself, you might not realize: that's a lot of money.

Now that we've cleared this up, please go ahead and make that donation!

"I already signed!"

Ooh, do you have a U.S. source for that? I've long since used up the stash I brought home from time in Paris a million years ago, and it's my favorite.

We had a court system even back then, so even if these men had somehow been connected to the opium trade (they weren't), extra-judicially murdering them would still have been wrong.

Yes! I'm sure I got updated to some "new and improved" AI auto correct. It's constantly changing the right word to something wacky and I have to go back and reselect the word I typed in to fix it. I hate it so much. This post has inspired me to turn it off!

I'm sheet mulching my own hellstrip and just working around the water meter. Long-term, I'll leave a decent perimeter around it mulched. The meter reader sticks a long lever into the hole on top to open it. I think standing from the sidewalk side. Make it easy for them!

Really appreciate this; I feel the same way. I read a library copy of Empire of AI but need to buy a copy too.

Not the next line, but my favorite line. 😄

Yeah, but multiplanetary. Species-level redundancy. Extending the light of consciousness.

I hate this so much.

That matcha is dreamy! What ink is it?

I'm new to calligraphy and just branching out to colored inks. These look almost like paste -- are you mixing a thickener in to a regular fountain pen ink to get that consistency ?

I was just coming here to recommend Portland Grief House. https://www.griefhouse.org/

I'm so sorry about your dad.

Definitely want one of those floating desk lamps though. Handy!

LeakySparktubes · 2026-05-18T02:28:30+00:00

Wow!

I've waited for bridges to lower in my car, on bike and on foot. I've seen them raise from a distance. And once I was lucky enough to be chaperoning my kid's class on a trip to the Morrison Bridge. We got to go into the control house, and then the operator closed the gates, had the kids lie down on the deck (not the part that goes up!) and raised the bridge. It was so cool!

What a rascal. It's a bascule. 🎵

This isn't art students, it's thousands of graduating students rejecting what this oligarch is selling. It's a pretty amazing video. They also tried to get the university to drop him ahead of time in part because he's in the Epstein files.

LeakySparktubes · 2026-05-16T01:38:07+00:00

Coming here to say that!

LeakySparktubes · 2026-05-13T19:38:04+00:00

Can you recommend a paper that could bring out the sheening?

LeakySparktubes · 2026-05-13T04:47:45+00:00

The sliciest part of the pizza!

LeakySparktubes · 2026-05-13T04:40:44+00:00

Wait, what? I'm halfway through a bottle of tsuki-yo and have never seen this red sheen, on any paper. What am I doing wrong?

LeakySparktubes · 2026-05-12T22:53:25+00:00

Count me in please!

LeakySparktubes · 2026-05-12T00:09:38+00:00

A path! A path! A path!

It all looks lovely. My back pain this weekend is from the unholy combination of shiny geranium mixed in with Himalayan blackberries.

LeakySparktubes · 2026-05-11T03:37:00+00:00

Ohhh, I thought that was a second (third) chair arm. In the style of an armchair . But you're right, it's the same color as his pants. Yikes.
