Still loving this Beyonce album!

Difficult day but now it's the weekend I guess.

Phoebe

How the hell is she talking while drinking tea?

Phoebe

This phone doesn't even work.

Phoebe

I had exactly your list of positives and when we reached Daughter it was "mind blown" phase, and from there I'm not even tracking individual stuff... I was just WhAt IS tHiS?!!! Still there!
For some reason American Requiem is the one sticking with me during the non-listening times.

World Central kitchen is this charity founded by chef Jose Andres, which has been on the scene delivering essential food aid after natural disasters and in conflict zones around the world. Everybody knows them, everybody works with them - It's a group established and supported by the people who make...

Phoebe

I have complaints about the world's criticism of Beyonce's Jolene. My child informed me that her enjoyment of the song was being dampened! Look at the video, I said: that hand is not Beyoncé's hand! She's not from Louisiana! This song is about her mother! And if her mother wants to bring that smoke ...

Phoebe

How exciting! Good sleep is so important. I have been on this journey with a slightly different path: at first I was diagnosed with very mild sleep apnea, and I had a really good doctor. I was able to go to a wonderful dentist (tbh I had a certain fondness for my dentist!) who took impressions and f...

Phoebe

Warning: listening to this could cause you to low level vibrate all over with frequencies you can't even hear! https://youtu.be/RYD8isM7RH4?feature=shared Update: The good looking one in this video started following me on social media for no goddamn reason... I think it must be a hoax or something? ...

Phoebe

The song "Daughter" on Beyoncé's new album took my breath away before we got to this part and then I was in complete disarray, not sure whether to laugh for joy or cry!

Phoebe

Also religious groups that would not be able to donate to the political campaign apparently can purchase large quantities of Bibles and then he benefits. Sick.

Phoebe

I believe this very thing played itself out once among my dogs and a young, small possum, which was terribly unfortunate because the possums are quite valuable. Luckily we have many possums and the larger ones are too intimidating for them to approach. The possum is so beneficial to have around.

Phoebe

I stayed up till midnight just so I could hear Beyoncé's version of Jolene, and I was apparently slow to the news there is an entire country album out here today. Haven't even made it through the whole thing and I am just astounded. I couldn't imagine how she was going to top the last album. It's so...

Phoebe

I have had one point two five margaritas. My liver apparently doesn't work anymore. The whole thing is tragic and a cause for sorrow rather than humor, but I will tell you, It's like getting to ride the rides at the carnival for free.

Phoebe

He agreed to this licensing deal, that's all that matters. He is grotesque, period.

Phoebe

Wow, amazing! I would like to see one closer - we've seen them from a distance but even small with aid of binoculars. One cannot go close to the nests at all.

Phoebe

What kind of pants do they wear to garden, one wonders?

Phoebe

Haven't heard ANY of this yet due to constant work, and I refuse to be sullied by this info until I get Beyoncé's Jolene. Talk later.

Phoebe

My response is simply, what is wrong with giving up? Giving up what, conformity to bs social standards that impinge upon human liberty and happiness? Giving up the loss of your time and vital energies? Give it all up! Give up. I have no further standards and the people at the nearest grocery store k...

Phoebe

Happy birthday to all the March people!

Phoebe

My f****** car... It doesn't understand my eyes so it constantly beeps and thinks that I'm not looking at the road. If they sent my data it would be that an eyeless person or zombie of some kind is driving the vehicle. I hope they do send that data everywhere.

Phoebe

How exciting! It's amazing that you have a 9-year-old. The game looks interesting as well!

Phoebe

Do you have a bucket list? If so, what sorts of things are on it and what kind of list is it - i.e. a before-I-die kind of list? Or some other parameters? I do not have such a list formally thought out but wonder if it might not be a good idea, given the limited window we have on earth. Also the buc...

Phoebe

It has come to my attention that one can hire a DM. The mass of middle schoolers wishes to play Dungeons and Dragons, specifically, and they want me to be their DM. Nope! No. I love them but cannot do this thing. It is worth my money and time to hire someone, but when hiring a random stranger to zoo...

Phoebe

A hypnotist like therapeutic or performance based? We have become the default pre/post party house for my current high schooler. I thought I would hate this but it's actually pretty good - everyone is present and accounted for and reasonably safe in this spot, I don't have to drive much besides back...

Phoebe

In that sweet spot before the actual dementia! Or before it is noticeable, let's say. We need entirely new systems for dealing with this. The optimal condition seems to be a house in a neighborhood, remodeled to accommodate 6-8 dementia patients and two caregivers at any given time. Family and frien...

Phoebe

Went to Scotland; would repeat that trip indefinitely. I want to live there but am told the weather was unusually great when we visited and that most of the time it's a damp chill that cracks the bones unpleasantly. I don't buy it. I like that Kyle is posting more! The topics are always an interesti...

Phoebe

Wall Drug: 228 mi. Free water! I wish I knew better what the relationship between porn availability and various forms of criminal violence might be. Some people have argued that widespread availability of porn led to a reduction in some kinds of sexual violence but I haven't seen conclusive, case-cl...

Phoebe

These little sacs getting weaker with age - very annoying! They should be like a lime left on the counter, nice and firm, no extra liquid.

Phoebe

Oh wow, I wish you will get one, seriously, you will experience joy.

Phoebe

Oh yes, haha, I had sort of blocked out that scene entirely - it was like they wanted to scandalize the audience in new ways so they tried to get creative, and it was like, ugh, who wants this? Not me. Sigh. Similar problems with... Love is Blind season 6 US Horrible. Not worth your time even if you...

Phoebe

Saltburn (2023) I would give this maybe 2 out of 5 stars at most but I recognize other people might find it more entertaining. Not sure how to summarize in a non-spoilery way... toxic relationships develop as a college kid from the wrong side of the tracks makes friends with a group of rich kids and...

Phoebe

The knees are spectacular with one glaring exception: I have bursitis in one of the little sacs and it is like being stabbed loosely with a steak knife. I would recommend not choosing bursitis and instead doing a lot of tai chi if your knees hurt.

Phoebe

It's important that we take serious, meaningful action to counter the cybersecurity threat posed by China, so clearly the most important thing to do was ban TikTok. In other news, build that wall. The older I get the more I realize how dumb I am, but the more I resent living among people who are eve...

Phoebe

I LOVE that butt warmer so much, and husband's car also has a butt cooler. I would change the car I drive only if it resulted in obtaining a butt cooling device and/or electric car. The butt cooler alone is almost enough reason. I cannot believe it's not a standard option or something you can easily...

Phoebe

"no one takes that as a moral failing on my part" Lol I cannot really comment on this - I don't want to give succor to OCD tendencies but it cracks me up. I think you are correct to note the cultural differences and the way moralizing judgment about cleanliness can involve cultural prejudi...

Phoebe

I mean, it is something created by the body no longer attached to the body. I imagine they would have a similar reaction if you lopped off your whole arm and calmly set it on the desk. I mean, what if you just plopped a baby down? I would sanitize post-baby-seating. I've seen too many things to tru...

Phoebe

"that requires sanitation" IMO this is the key phrase explaining the reactions you get to the nail trimming. People who react this way likely see the fingernail as a basically unsanitary place, due to the accumulation of dirt and grime and food and skin flakes and dog musk and other random...

Phoebe

Apparently N. doesn't care how many people die, specifically, because he thinks the military objectives are more important and, like all the others who agree with his plan, he is convinced only Hamas is morally responsible for whatever bad things are happening. But everyone else easily sees this is ...

Phoebe

From my perch here far away, where this does not affect me, no judgment or criticism is implied here... But as an informational service, honestly, in the workplace this would ALARM me significantly. It would cause a minor sensation; it would be discussed. I don't think I'm way out on an island on th...

Phoebe

Love my car but struggling with its attempts to make safety decisions for us: for example, the dog does not need a human-shaped seatbelt on and you need not ring the alarm bell when he is present. Other people's mailboxes are not going to be struck accidentally by me. I am paying attention - I just ...

Phoebe

You need scrub only as much as required to cleanse the area. So if you've been out gardening you might need to use a washcloth and rub the dirt off. If you've been sitting around indoors clipping your nails, maybe spreading a little soap and water around by hand is perfectly sufficient.

Phoebe

Never was much of a Ryan Gosling fan. Eh. No feeling one way or the other. Well! For some reason in this iteration, I felt things:

Epic, truly.

Phoebe

Surprisingly powerful:

Phoebe

Wow, new babies new marriages new trucks and now new cruises!

Phoebe

The truck has control of you. Can you be sure you're the same person? It's pretty exciting to have a new truck though, even if it means letting it rule your facial hairs.

Phoebe

This was an interesting read. We desperately need reform in this whole area of our society. I only know a few people who have been to or worked in a prison but the stories are mind blowing. We have structures in place that could allow diverting people with mental illnesses or non-violent crimes and ...

Phoebe

Or just death for the people they were literally dropped on top of. Good God.

Phoebe

This is sickening beyond belief. They should never be at the point of needing to airdrop aid. It doesn't matter who tried to drop this parachute; everybody responsible for not letting aid flow into the area is responsible for these deaths. I can understand not wanting to read the story in full detai...

Phoebe

That's pretty much how it is for people nowadays. Most young people I know have no hope whatsoever of sick leave - they just rely on having a supervisor who won't fire them for taking time off work without pay, or who will send them home if they show up obviously feverish and contagious. Our society...

Phoebe

Oh ha ha it is always fun to return either to this thread or the drunken posting thread to get a review of one's life tape. I am almost never able to drink and my liver is old and weak and so... the joy of alcohol is limited to non-existent these days. I live like a monk with occasional samplings an...
