It’s difficult to say what the worst day is going to be this week since so many of them are bad. Taking them in chronological order: Today: The closest conjunction of MERCURY RETROGRADE and Mars. This coupling of extraordinary chaos and war breaks up a bit, but Wednesday, the moon enters that conjunction reinforcing it. That doesn’t last long, but for those of you not stressing out about war get to look forward to MERCURY RETROGRADE aligning with Venus on Friday so romance takes the brunt. Saturday is no worse at least.

No love for Capricorns this week? Or maybe I just don’t want to know.
Likewise Aquarius. Layoffs? DOGE cuts?
NA is converting the zodiac to the metric system.
sorority parties in particular
The wife is heading out on a work trip…
But that’s probably a bad idea.
Weird misthread…
Apparently the sorority girls are coming to my house to party this week. If they do I’ll let you know so you can join in on the fun.
I was too poor to hang out with sorority girls in college and now I’m too old.
I was missing out on blatant opportunities right in front of me, completely separate from the Greeks.
I *did* deliver Jimmy Johns to a college party in Eville. They tipped me with a semi-shotgunned beer. Summer between high school and IU, 2005, it legit looked like a 1980s movie party scene. Delivery was at the end of our jurisdiction, so a nice chill getaway for the driver.
Never heard of that Echo song. Must have come out after I stopped paying attention to them.
Nor I. Lovely Déesse though; Algerian license plate?

Sounds like someone is getting some bruises.

Yowza.😳
Crumple zones worked
And because Reddit the comments go sideways to safety regulations and vaccinations.
This is how to identify the midwits.
So true Chipper.
King of wands?
How about King of Pins?
Got my wife her birthday/20th anniversary present. Still need to get it to the loft today. And she claims I still owe her a 20th present.

Jesus, dude. Just tell me you hate me.
The stars hate you.

Hellz, yes. My oversight and vigilance are paying off. Tomorrow I’ve got a 2pm onboarding sesh with the standardized testing gig. I’ll soon spy with my little eye what students turn in for their handwritten essays. Last time was 4th graders and I hope that continues. Well? I’m not concerned with their age, but kids’ thoughts are so funny. And ‘thoughts.’
Bro’s taking his family to England in late May for about two weeks. He studied at Harlaxton in Grantham. (His first born, named after bro’s middle name, has “Grantham” as his middle initial. Like I don’t get your modern remix of “Colin Jr.”) He’s not taking Ez, the 5yo, so we’ll have him for that time, which is asking a lot, especially as I’ll be WFH. However, much brightness along that tunnel.
The light in the tunnel can be bad. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Sh5S3OxiE-s

I like this plan, I’m proud of this plan, I’m excited to be a part of it.
The chocolating has finished. After ~24 hours in the melanger, we have produced 3.75 pounds of a Peru-origin 75% dark.
Let me just say, those Lindt commercials with the guy in the spotless white jacket gazing lovingly at his chocolate covered whisk are a filthy fucking lie, ’cause that shit gets everywhere. Anybody working with chocolate is wearing it.
You say it like it’s a bad thing.
If you are wearing the chocolate does that mean that the chocolate groupies will lock it off of you?
Would you rather they unlock it off you?
Is your polydactyl typing your posts? 😉
Sounds like a weirdly racist origin story for a child under a revised One-Drop rule.
That Peruvian boy will one day be Lord of the Darkies. Experts determined, with much trial and error, that 75% dark was optimal for color, content and character. And his shirts shall be clean!! With but the sweat of his hardworking brow!
“The worst toilet in Scotland” was chocolate IRL.

Woohoo!
Windy as hell on Friday when I was trying to get home to Jugsy and the Palatial 2X-Wide™.
Winday as hell now when Im going back to the (216). In a 2100 lb SUV.
The stars failed to mention it.
Safe travels!
Kindred spirits with my wife?
I need to get this thing going again. It’s say eight years. Time flys. https://ibb.co/LXBXmcVn
Be careful Tuesday if you’re still up here. Avoid downtown and expect lots of 5-0 on the roads.
I was very pleased to learn Koreans also say “Five-oh!” to warn folk of police wanderings.
I’d gather it came to them from the ‘new’ Hawaii 5-0 and not The Wire, where I first heard it.
Book ’em, Dano.
AFAIK, that’s where it came from in the US as well.
To be clear, from the OG “Hawaii: 5-0”
Fuck that.
Don’t despair. Your sentence has been delayed due to a miscarriage of justice. Damn lying ‘witness.’
Why so serious?
From the ded thred:
These days if it isn’t picanha (top /sirloin cap), I don’t want it.
Never heard that word before a couple days ago on one of the snootier food competition shows.
Picanha?
It’s a Brazilian word. Been around a long time. Definitely not foodie jargon.
Yeah, I SHOULD be overseeing my operation, but I’m not. I’m in a writing jag, where I want to stay, but other people want me to get their work done. The nerve.
Other people.
Gross.
L’enfer.
