US political wonks (who presumably depend to an extent on US Census data) may be twisted up about ethnicity because the US Census changed their methodology to be more inclusive of various possibilities. No more white/black/hispanic/other. As a result today, "Multiracial population has changed considerably since 2010. It was measured at 9 million people in 2010 and is now 33.8 million people in 2020, a 276% increase." 1/2

@Alfred with which professional organizations should a compulsively lying, racist and misogynistic politician avoid interviews

Trying so hard to keep an open mind but they're not helping even a little.
"Numerous brands now market AI capabilities for toothbrushes with three-figure price tags."

Sigh. Okay. Maybe. If I never again had to see a dentist. Not even on the street. That's the requirement. (Sorry dentists)

Ants are such busy bodies. Look I sweep and keep the counters clean, don't need any help. Bet there's lots of food outside. #ants

@Alfred what is the minimum criminal sentence for use of an HTML <blink> tag. In the USA

Watching 12 consecutive rugby matches is a choice somebody can make if they want to be an unslept zombie.

Simulation is slipping today. Out and about on errands and what do I see? A DeLorean AND a Cybertruck? COME ON.

ahhhh crud. Something just hit the roof hard. Like, dogs are barking and not just my dogs. #yikes
Welp, weather's good. Jeeves! Fetch the ladders!

@Alfred explain to me like I'm 5 years old why web browsers need every freaking resource on my computer. ALL the RAM, ALL the CPU.

Evening dog walk, hawk stooped 10 feet ahead, nabbed a (rodent?), fly up into a tree. Very dramatic.

Damnit hawk, you just undid months of dog therapy. He's vigilant against every overhead movement. Like, clouds. Giant freaking birds.
Sigh.

How fast are the new Speedo swimsuits?

I mean someone offered me lutefisk once.

Once.

@Alfred I was thinking, would vikings have eaten grapes, or would they have found them so foreign as to be disgusting, like, gross plant pustules that, if offered, would offend the Vikings so much they would lay waste to the area and enslave the people to row them back to safer cuisine.

I watched Olympics rugby last night for a minute, US vs Uruguay. Don't know the rules but they seem to be like wrestling plus a ball and the players have watched basketball and modern dance or ballet. Scoring is on a bravado scale. Fouls are assigned by lottery or caprice; hard to tell from one game. A little smattering of Calvin Ball over everything.
