  Because America was so good yesterday, we get a treat: the surpassing sweetness and excellent dog-care fundraising of weratedogs https://www.nytimes.com/2026/11/04/style/we-rate-dogs-ai.html?unlocked_article_code=1.N1E.jtW8.RCTT5EFHQLxT&smid=nytcore-ios-share

  This video is incredibly satisfying to watch with a kicker of a twist near the end for something about kitchen cleaning. Priya Krishna does amazing work. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/10/24/dining/restaurant-cleaning.html?unlocked_article_code=1.L1E.dsrN.DvKWEK65vjeF&smid=nytcore-ios-share

  Sad to see her passing. Loved Kate & Allie. Loved her work. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/10/27/arts/television/susan-st-james-dead-kate-and-allie.html?unlocked_article_code=1.MFE.DISA.NfLCkYm6OGhQ&smid=nytcore-ios-share my mom once met Mike Farrell, who was standing near a film shoot near our house one night. The movie was “How to Beat the High Cost of Living.” Saint James was in it. Farrell and she were quietly dating.

  Vibe coding is one thing; the noise of AI-written emails flooding my inbox another. How will the next generation of iPhone and Mac developers find an audience among the chaff?

  I’ve had a recurring problem with gnats in the basement bathroom drain. Yesterday I said, where are my spiders! Today I see a spider having captured all the gnats. I said, thank you, ma’am.

  I have been telling people about the far-right owners of ULINE for a while and suggesting you use EcoEnclose as an alternative. I have used a 1,000+ of their boxes + packing material. I didn’t realize I could give you a $20 coupon (off $50+)! http://refs.ecoenclose.com/0MRBz37h (Disclosure: I also get $20. I will use it wisely.)

  A crow came up to me with a look in its eye while I was walking. I paused. “Can I help you?” It hopped off, not far off. I cross the street. It flew over, not hostile. “What’s up? Do you want something?” It cocked its head. I checked my pockets. I found a key ring and removed the keys.

  A mailing list has 10 to 20 times the impact per subscriber/follower than social media. That said, I have 20 times more followers than subscribers so the impact is often similar!

  I took a walk yesterday at what must have been baby o’clock: every single baby and toddler was out with their parents. Must have been the end of Uniform Nap Time, which we observe in the Socialist State of Seattle.

  All the Bluesky bubble people showing their whole ass, as their comments reveal the paucity of who they follow. The bubble is inside yourself. Also, grow up; it is just a fancy CB radio, not the future of humanity. Unless you’re on X, which is a network of Nazi walkie-talkies.

  I’m unfollowing everyone who is trying to create Internet Main Characters. It isn’t healthy (unless they are politicians or people with political power and even then not rally), and I pledge to stop doing it to avoid being a hypocrite.
