Roge inspected the meal. The plate contained a skillet dish of hash-browned potatoes mixed with scrambled eggs, sausage, and bacon. He took a sip of the glass and determined that it was a mimosa.
"Thanks, Toasterella. How about some coffee?"
"Liquified bat droppings, coming up." (2/3) #wss366

Roge came down the stairs, wearing his ragged bathrobe, and trudged, yawning, into the dining room.
"What's for breakfast, Toasterella?"
His contracted sprite flittered out from the kitchen.
"Maggot's Spew and Fox #Fluid."
A plate and a glass appeared amid sparkles on the table. (1/3) #wss366

"Why did you stick your neck out for me?"
Revin looked at Terrier seriously. Then he smiled.
"I'm not sticking my neck out. There are few things in this world I'm more certain of than your loyalty."
"Thank you, Sir Revin," Terrier said, tears in his eyes. "I won't let you down again." (3/3) #wss366

Revin and Terrier exchanged glances. "We have an understanding."
After the Queen consulted with Revin on a point of policy, she went back to her chambers.
Terrier looked over at Revin.
"Why did you do it?" he asked.
"Hmm?" Revin asked, startled out of his train of thought. (2/3) #wss366

The Queen entered Revin's quarters as Terrier was helping him into his #suit coat. She looked sharply at Terrier, who carefully avoided eye contact.
"How did you secure his release?" the Queen asked.
"He's under my personal recognizance."
"Is that really wise?" she pressed. (1/3) #wss366

Content warning:gross, norovirus

When I was flying back from LOSCon, I changed planes in Charlotte. I walked to my connecting gate, then hit the bathroom. I waited in line, got a stall, and did my business. The moment, I opened the door, someone rushed past the line, past me, into the stall, and started puking. I got outta there as fast as I could, thinking, "Norovirus!" I was never happier that I was masked. And that I wasn't sitting in one of those other stalls. Or still waiting in line.

I watched a Pretzelle video that was obviously the theme song for a Korean animated show called Teteru: Secret of Teddy Bear Village. It's a cute song. But I thought the description of the production company was a bit underwhelming. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j4F7rfsFurw

"It was the first nebula people discovered," Zaza said, reading the guidebook. "When it was named, people couldn't see it close up, but they said it looked like a crab."
"I'm hungry," Tata said. "Maybe we should have crab cakes for lunch."
"Bebe would like cake!" Bebe shrieked. (3/3) #wss366

"Look at all the colors!" Popo gushed.
Tau snorted.
"Aw. Too bad," Rara said, patting him.
"Which nebula is this again?" asked Mumu.
"It's the #Crab nebula," said David.
"It doesn't look like a crab…" Sisi observed. (2/3) #wss366

The Better Angels, David, and Tau all stood together under the dome on the deep-space spectator platform among a crowd of people. Everyone looked upward, oohing and aahing. The field of view was filled with streaks and filaments of multicolored gas and dust. (1/3) #wss366

I'm annoyed that Wordpress increasing has AI shit smeared all over it: "Write this with AI! Create that with AI!" I turned up a newish module that someone is creating called "Disable AI": https://wordpress.org/plugins/disable-ai/

It would be better if Wordpress created a setting that modules could respect that would conceal AI elements that were unwanted. But, in the absence of that, this is a reasonable approach.

The module is new and only has a few installs. But I briefly inspected the code and installed it.

#WordWeavers Who is your most chaotic character?

Probably Booboo. She doesn't have a filter and says whatever comes into her head.

Or maybe Forrest, though there's too much method for him to be truly chaotic.

Oh, right. Let's get every person who uses Microsoft Word in the State Department to try to figure out how to switch the default font back from Calibri to Times New Roman. I'm sure *that* won't be a huge time sink.

I'm so grateful I never, ever have to use Microsoft Word.

I've found that a little maple syrup added to rum and light cream makes an amazing rum-cream cocktail.
