And the Annual Buffy Binge is officially complete. "Yeah, Buffy, what are we going to do now?"

The Holstee Manifesto got me through another (but career) job 15 years ago and into the first company I started. I need to print out and tape that sucker up again.

This is your life. Do what you love, and do it often. If you don't like something, change it. If you don't like your job, quit. If you don't have enough time, stop watching TV. If you are looking for the love of your life, stop; they will be waiting for you when you start doing things you love. Stop over analyzing, life is simple. All emotions are beautiful. When you eat, appreciate every last bite. Open your mind, arms, and heart to new things and people, we are united in our differences. Ask the next person you see what their passion is, and share your inspiring dream with them. Travel often; getting lost will help you find yourself. Some opportunities only come once, seize them. Life is about the people you meet and the things you create with them, so go out and start creating. Life is short. Live your dream, and wear your passion.

I love that Galarza is the villain of Bluesky right now.

Bluesky making it hard to Bluesky this morning. I don't know if it's my browser (Firefox) or if it's something on their end.

Because I just saw former #Mexico national team goalkeeper Jorge Campos in a #WorldCup Visa commercial with Jason Sudeikis, here we are at the WPS Championship game in 2009 in Los Angeles.

Showing a red line on a range between the year 1969 and now with a date in the middle of Sept. 7, 1996 (the day Tupac was murdered). Above this the heading reads "The murder of Tupac is now closer to the Moon landing than to today."

How does a made-up personality quiz based on camp (which I have never attended because we didn't have money and also–latchkey kid) understand me more than most people I know? LOLsob.

Card with results of comedian Josh Johnson's Troop Personality Quiz. I have been placed in the Yellow Jackets along with 27% of the other people who took this quiz. The Yellow Jackets camp badge is in the upper right corner.

The description of Yellow Jackets: You create a buzz wherever you go that gets people excited to have you around. You're not afraid of getting stung and don't let fear of the unknown stop you from landing where you want. You can be aggressive in defending the ones you care about, and while it's important for you to get out and fly, you need your quiet time to nest.

The item is still up. I had to delete browser history to see it again.

Apparently, not far enough.

Commander Reid Wiseman is the final astronaut to be lifted into a helo for transport to the ship. #ArtemisII

An astronaut gets hoisted into a helicopter from the "front porch."

HJ Armstrong@hjarmstrong· Apr 11

All four Artemis II astronauts (in orange jumpsuits with backs to the camera) are out of the module and sitting on the "front porch" awaiting airlift to the ship. The "front porch" is connected to the Orion on the left and there are multiple support personnel surrounding and preparing them for airlift. Another support boat is to their right.

HJ Armstrong@hjarmstrong· Apr 11

And they're all out! #ArtemisII

One out, three to go! #ArtemisII

LOL at Bluesky asking me if I'm writing in Korean while copy-pasting rows of the eye roll emoji.

Screenshot of a QT post I made that includes dozens of the eye roll emoji with a box at the bottom in which Bluesky is asking me if I'm writing in Korean. They provide a "Yes" button to answer but not a "No" button.

My RBF, in case any of you encounter me in public.

affairs projects for the squadron. Here is a photo (cleared) given to me for one of those projects that includes then LCDR Glover with the rest of VX-31’s flag football team celebrating winning the 2009 Captain’s Cup Flag Football Championship. Small. World.

A group of 11 men wearing athletic clothing, yellow mesh vests, and blue flags at their waists pose on a field with their trophy after winning a flag football championship at Naval Air Weapons Station China Lake. Artemis II mission pilot Victor Glover was on the team and is celebrating the win in the photo with his hand raised in a "number 1" position.

This travel82 account just followed me and, in addition to the questionable posts, I had a feeling the profile photo was AI, so I did a check... Another account that followed me last year had *very* similar posts and an AI photo but was posing as "former US military" now "nomad." Laughable.

Screenshot of an isthisai.com results page. The header says "Detect AI-generated images in seconds." The results for the photo I uploaded state it's AI-generated with a 98% confidence rate.

A handful of Mr. Chavez’s relatives and former U.F.W. leaders have been aware for years about various allegations of sexual misconduct, but there is no evidence that they made efforts to fully investigate the accusations, acknowledge the victims or apologize to them. Instead, many of the women say they were discouraged from speaking out in order to preserve Mr. Chavez’s public image.
