What happens when you lose the encrypted messaging app everyone uses?
Well, I guess that counts as rain.
A few minutes of rolling thunder and just enough water to move the dust around a bit.
Oh, there we go.
Don’t know how long it’ll last or where the lightning is striking, but at least I had time to move stuff away from the front of the garage that I didn’t think I’d need to move for a few more months^H^H^H^H^H^H weeks
Noticed Dear Evan Hansen has a movie out. Realized I still haven’t heard any songs from it. So of course my brain still wants to sing the title to the tune of “Dear Theodosia.”
I get more calls from the power company updating me on outages that didn’t happen than outages that did.
Something to add to last night’s quake: the alerts aren’t actually that helpful if you’re close enough that the shaking arrives at the same time as the signal.
Well, ShakeAlert works.
We’re fine, it wasn’t huge. Here, at least.

“I just donated to relief efforts to help people who were hit by a hurricane, flooded out of their homes, and have no power. Now, how much was it that you wanted a hoverboard?” 🙄
“Free from Does Not Contain Declaration Obligatory Allergens.”
Yeah, you might need to work on that template a bit….
If your movement can’t survive without its founder, you don’t have a movement. You have a cult of personality.
Thought I’d messed up a date value because a test showed it at exactly 00:00:00 UTC.
Then I looked at the clock. It read 5:00.
Apparently I’d run the test at exactly midnight UTC.
Kid finished Portal, and soon there will be cake.
A few hours later:
No lie.
Kid: “Which game is it?”
Friend: “It’s called Game.”
Kid: “There are two games called Game!”
Anyway, the “Everybody Dies: Shakespeare’s Tragedies” poster.

Unfortunately it’s hard to read at this size, so here’s an article with an earlier draft that went viral (the artist shows up in the comments to plug the official poster):

Went looking for the official version of the Shakespearian Tragedy Deaths infographic and found…this
