Asked my husband to check the cupboard for “existing” flour and sugar before I opened the new bag. Yes, I work in A/E/C marketing.

Search is full of ads and wrong answers. Every other email is an ad. Prime Video charges you and shows ads. Paramount? Ads. Peacock? YouTube? Hulu? Ads followed by more ads. Netflix full of ads. Meta and X, every other thing is an ad. Pinterest is nothing but ads. AI is in everything. AI finishes sentences incorrectly and won’t stop. AI reads your email and search history to target you with more ads. Every time you open an app or visit a site there’s an update making it worse. In a hurry? First, click here to agree to terms you don’t have time to read and must accept. You need an account to do that. Change your temporary password. Enter your 2FA code. Check your email and enter that code. Now use a passkey. Your password is too simple to remember. Change it. No, not like that. Now log on. Enter your 2FA code. Check your email for a code… Welcome back! We’ve updated our terms of service and privacy policy (you have none). Subscribe to the site. Subscribe to Netflix. Subscribe to toilet paper. Subscribe to these groceries. Pay a membership fee for the right to subscribe then tip your driver who delivers the subscriptions your membership lets you subscribe to. Time to work? We’ve got to update your laptop and will slow down everything you do until you agree to update. But first, click here to agree. Update installed — your laptop’s broken now. It doesn’t matter, since your boss just replaced you with AI. Go to your phone to complain on social media. Wait, your phone needs an update so we can add more AI. Click here. Oh sorry, your phone can’t handle this update. Now it’s useless. Go get the newest phone. Here’s a text from a friend, an email, a voice mail they left three days ago but you didn’t see until now because of sync problems with the cloud. It’s their GoFundMe. Their MLM. Their Patreon. Never mind, you didn’t respond to their text within 9 minutes and now you’re no longer friends. They blocked you. Make new friends. Download this app to find people in your area. In your neighborhood. On your street. Two doors down from you. Do you know this person yet, we think you’d get along. You need an account to use this app. That username is taken. Enter a password. Not that one, you used it on another site. You need to be connected to WiFi to download the app. Allow the app to connect to other devices on your network. Allow the app to access your contacts, know your precise location, store your credit card details. Oops, sorry, we got hacked now all that info is available on the web. There’s a class action suit. You can join. It’ll take a decade to get your $3.73 share of the ten billion settlement. We’ll send it via PayPal or deposit it to your bank, just tell us those details. Oh no, another hack. That info is circulating now, too. Here’s a spam call, a spam email, a spam text. Why are you angry? Why are you talking about getting rid of your phone? Why don’t you like AI, it lets us make all of this easier? Do you know how ridiculous that sounds? This is progress. You’ll be left behind. Do you want to be left behind? Do you???

@robinsonmeyer When I joined The Journal News, which covers Westchester, Rockland, and Putnam counties, just north of NYC, in 1999, the paper had 1,000 employees, including a film critic. Our business news desk had 13 people. I covered IBM. It was a great gig. We covered a lot of news.

I take no leave of you, 2025. I send no compliments to your mother. You deserve no such attention. I am most seriously displeased.

IT’S A WONDERFUL LIFE was released 79 years ago today. One of the most beloved of all Christmas movies, and among the most popular films of its star James Stewart, the tale of how it was created is like throwing a lasso round the moon… 1/47

Many men struggle romantically because they have trouble seeing women as friends and people. Nietzsche said the key to a successful marriage is cultivating friendship with your wife, because friendship is the one thing that lasts. “Marriage is a talent for friendship.”

Word of the Day is ‘snerdle’ (19th century): to lie warm and still beneath the covers for as long as humanly possible.

it's an especially good weekend to log off and do soul-nourishing things: board games, gardening, writing, hiking in late summer splendor, picking basil, reciting poems, reading for education, reading for joy, reading for any reason whatsoever.

Etymology of the day: ‘dog day afternoons’ are so named not because dogs seek out the shade, but because, during the hottest days of summer in the northern hemisphere, the Dog Star Sirius rises with the sun.

@lmkwhenurhome I kept the log of my Facebook conversations with my mom that included random thoughts at all hours. It’s four years since she passed, and I’m sure some of my friends wonder why I text them mundanities. There’s no one who enjoys your mundanities as much as your mom.
