If you didn't catch this on Twitter, take five minutes for this beautiful photo essay.
@bentosmile @plsburydoughboy Man, I looked it up and it's dumber than any of that: millennials are ruining Halloween by dressing up in costumes.
I am not making that up. The author appears to believe that no adults dressed up in costumes before the 80s - never mind that millennials were toddlers at best in the 80s - and so millennials are "taking Halloween away from kids" by dressing up.
My theory: the author's just such an insufferable fuckstick that he never got invited to costume parties.
(also Pooka is screaming at me to go to bed. he gets very upset if Spouse and I don't go to bed at around the same time every night, because that is PRIME POOKA-PETTING TIME and he needs ALL THE PETS RIGHT NOW DAMMIT)
Hey guys, my friend recently lost the source of most of his income and his wheelchair-adapted van. He's a trans guy with SMA (https://www.mda.org/disease/spinal-muscular-atrophy).
He's an artist taking commissions and selling small paintings to help make up some of the lost income. If you wanna help a cool disabled queer person out, this is his store:

so... that was a thing, and now I guess I'm done with that, so... back to Sims! :D
paperclip game conclusion (spoilers)
I ended up leaving the game running while I went afk to have dinner. by the time I came back I'd gone from having explored 0.0000000(etc)% of the universe to having paperclipped it *all*, and the "Drifters" contacted me. I feel like I missed most of the interesting transitions in the game by letting it run while afk, but there's no way I could have sat through watching it run all the way through.
went to the birb store today (nothing to do with BirbSite) and got a hummingbirb feeder with a new stick to hang it on (we don't have an overhanging porch roof), two squares of capsaicin-loaded suet (to feed birbs [who aren't affected by capsaicin] while deterring squirrels [who are]), and a small handful of caramels (for me [with no capsaicin]). tomorrow I will install the hummingbirb feeder. the spicy suet will have to wait until the one currently out there is gone. then--look out, squirrels!

You know that game where you say the same sentence over and over, but emphasize a different word, changing the meaning of the sentence?
I find myself playing that game whenever facebook denies they are doing something bad with your data. Hoping to discover which is the magic word that's responsible for wordplay.
"We don't use your microphone for ads."
Maybe it's "we" -- they do after all use outside analysis to inform their acquisition choices. Maybe *someone else* uses mic recording data.

paper clip game slowdown frustration
I've launched 3k probes, there isn't an option to launch more than one at a time and hitting that button over and over is annoying, and I still haven't explored a meaningful fraction of the universe. my memory is 300, I have over a million Yomi... when does something else interesting happen? :|
