This is Radish. He showed up at my door about 17 years ago and just walked in and never left. He liked nothing more than hiding under the bed to stick his paw on a foot at 3am, helping me work, or trying to prevent me from working. I hope they serve cat gravy in the afterlife. In a fountain.

An orange cat laying on the lap of someone in jeans who was trying to work. You can see the laptop next to then. Human needed a break anyway.

A photo of a laptop keyboard, you can barely see slack on the screen. To the left is a sneaky little orange and white cat paw trying to click esc but can't because it's one of those annoying tiuchbar models

An orange cat with a white nose and paws laying across a humans arm so they're completely unable to move. The photo is taken from overhead, likely with the arm not being laid on because really what else can you do in that situation

An orange cat with one visible white paw and just his head poking thru lays curled up in a white blanket, obviously napping on the bed and looking adorable.

Trying to contact Comcast about another billing fuck up. These are the only options. FML.

Screenshot of xfinity/comcast support options. You can post on a forum, post on reddit, use facebook messenger, or send them a tweet on x/twitter/the nazi site. No other options.

Oh wow it's so cool there! I'm just across the river.

Pi pie, phase 1. Cause I'm that person who likes spooky things year round. And cause I thought I had cherries in the freezer and it would have looked cool and bloody. I don't but it still looks cool.

Screenshot from WSJ article today:
The U.S. has turned down repeated requests for tanker escorts from oil companies, said officials from Gulf countries. Defense officials say it is too risky to send warships into the confined waters of the strait—which is about 21 miles wide at its narrowest point—until the risks of Iranian fire have receded.

It’s important to make them look as good as possible, too. That’s part of your job, or our job.

Seriously gross! Reported and that seems to be a pretty proud asshole.

Ok. Not sure that word has ever been applied in my direction, but I'm game. Should I pull out a red hooded cloak?

Sober is still one of my absolute favorite songs.

I uh um er this is scary.

I put nearly as much effort into photographing it as I did in making it. I've been watching too many artsy YouTube videos.

It's done! I ended up with a full cakes worth of extra frosting + 50 spare bats. And yesterday was my birthday. But whatever, my masterpiece is complete!

A cake covered in blue gray frosting with an ombre of bats swooping over the sides and onto the top, resting by a chocolate moon. It sits of a bed of skull lace, in front of an image of a spooky window with leave less trees and a large full moon. Who knows what it tastes like tho.

Feels like the job market sucks huh? No it's not just you.

Screenshot: Labor market analyst Amanda Goodall: “WTF! Hiring just hit the lowest level since 2009. Only 204,939 hires so far in 2025. That’s a 58% collapse year on year. Worse than anything since the financial crisis. The data’s out there... and no one’s ready to admit what it means. No data = no panic… right?”

I think it'll look really cool.

The wet bar. It has green cabinets with cut outs with rattan in the middle. Hot pink handles. A concrete countertop with a small sink on the left side of the counter. Above on the side walls are 2 brown shelves. The walls are beige. The ceiling is slanted and the same pink as the handles on the cabinet.

Dropping down from the ceiling is an arch panel painted the same green as the cabinets. There is also a pothos hanging to the left behind the arch and in the middle of the ceiling a disco ball light fixture dangles.

It's the fact that I'd rather eat caviar than fish sticks isn't it? Listen that has more to do with a childhood puking incident than class.

Time to bake!

As someone with a documented pineapple allergy, I may need to make an ADA complaint against this website.

The WordPress.org login page which has added a required checkbox stating "pineapple is delicious on pizza"

I'm pretty sure that someone attending or sponsoring a WordCamp doesn't count as a contribution. That's just marketing right? And expressing support for open source sure as hell isn't a contribution. At least according to a certain CEO.

A screenshot reading, "If you aren’t able to contribute your time and skills, then you could donate to the WordPress foundation, sponsor or attend a WordCamp or Meetup in your area, or even just express your support for the spirit of open source by sharing this web page with your network."

Wait a minute, according to this, found on the Automattic blog, Automattic who demanded WPEngine contribute 32 million a year to WordPress is only themselves contributing 20 million a year????

A screenshot that reads, "It’s important to note that a significant part of Automattic’s revenue, including any licensing revenue, is channeled back into supporting the WordPress community, as Automattic is currently contributing 3,552 hours per week to the WordPress project. This comes out to something in the order of $20M annually in salaries."

Wow I'm impressed! I'm definitely not going to be able to get a full billion of them. And even if I did that's a truly staggering amount. It would take forever to hand out! It's easy to really underestimate just how much a billion is. It's a truly absurd amount. I'll never not love this visual.

An image with 3 groups of rice. The first is one grain and labeled $100,000 on a post-it. The second is 10 grains and labeled 1,000,000). The third is a huge mound of rice. Labeled 1 billion. It demonstrates that as much as those first two numbers sound like a lot, the 3rd is truly many many magnitudes more.
