Further experiment. You can replace "California" with "-ish"
Stop-ish (ok, not really)
Sober-ish
Vegetarian-ish
Monogamish
Straight-ish
Hmm, now I want to find other -ish words and replace it with the California prefix...

I like how you can put "California" in front of anything to mean "...but kinda not really"
California stop
California sober
California vegetarian
California monogamy
California straight
(yes I just made up those last two but you know what I mean, right?)

May 11th is Eurovision AND the first 2(!) episodes of Doctor Who "Season 1".
Going to be a long, nerdy day for some of us.

"They search with (like) the wolf" sounds like a totally reasonable idiom, right?

2024-03-14 17:08:46

I start thinking my French reading skills are getting pretty good and then I go reading half an article thinking they're mentioning wolves in some idiomatic way but actually it's magnifying glass.

@npub19qm…sn8k thank goodness I spent more time writing fanfiction than actual work.

Admit it, "soft handed agriculturalists" is kinda hot, right?

2024-03-12 13:31:51

When you come across a passage that was meant disparagingly but now just sounds like the congregation of our neighborhood third wave coffee shop:
"In the 1920s, for example, a Wall Street Journal editorial described supporters of the Progressive politician Robert La Follette as "visionaries, ne'er do wells, parlor pinks, reds, hyphenates [Americans with divided allegiance], soft handed agriculturalists and working men who have never seen a shovel."

In the last month I managed to cancel both audible and NYTs subscriptions. This would have been unthinkable few months ago as I spent hours a day using both.
(Haven't done anything, like, productive with the time mind you. Now I'm just on Libby and Reddit more... But still.)

How am I supposed to get anything done when there are tempting rabbit holes like this everywhere?!?
"Chalant"
Etymology
A notional opposite and coincidentally accurate back-formation from nonchalant, itself from Old French non- + chalant (“concerning, bothering”), but interpreting non- as later English "non".

My spotify suggestions & personalized playlist are totally screwed up by listening to 8+ hours of green/white/brown noise and ambient 741 Hz woo-woo sounds so I can sleep all night. Really need a way to say "no, not these."

@npub19a8…4m3n I really loved the delivery of all the Not Things' lines, so I may have watched them a ridiculous number of time ;-)

@npub19a8…4m3n Awesome! My favorite is the speech about the Tardis on its outcrop by the sea.
But can you double check this one?
"The notion of shape is strange."
"It limits. It is limited."
I'm pretty sure it's "It is limiting" -- I loved that bit as well!

Hot take.
Jordan is coming back for a third vote because he made some sort of deal. He'll make it by a vote or two.

Planned to make crepes this morning but realized we're almost out of flour.
Turns out making oat flour from whole oats is dead simple! Just threw them in the blender (have to stop & shake it to get them all).
Can't even tell the the final product is way healthier than straight white flour...
