I watched Unfrosted so that you don't have to.

Seriously, don't.

Seriously unfunny movie.

I can see how this movie would be funny to a huge chunk of America who seem to believe that the 60's was the golden age of comedy, but for the rest of us, nope. I honestly don't know how so many big names signed up to this - did they even read the script?

Tldr; Unfrosted - 1 out of 5 pop tarts.

The Beagle got a treat for a successful trip to the groomer earlier today - he's now filthy as he just buried his treat in the veggie garden 🙄

It's the Kalorama chestnut festival today, and my annual "I'm allowed to eat a fresh doughnut for breakfast" day 😀

@ajsadauskas @SituationCake @Seagoon_ it's also not smart enough to recognise red onion peel left behind in your basket.

My biggest gripe is that it assumes malicious intent as default behaviour.

@Wolfie_Rankin if this is the Dyson hand held then I concur. One of the worst purchases we've made.

Some people say it’s the stress. A lot of people point to the fundamental loneliness of the role. But I got to say, the worst part of being in senior leadership is what to do with yourself on those days when humans are too annoying to interact with.

@kellan I gently rested my head in my hands at my desk yesterday, and that only prevented 50% of interactions - humans are relentless!

One day I am going to learn not to stand right over the oven when I open the door so as not to immediately get my face blasted.

We use an Email security product that "yoinks" emails from the Inbox after it has been delivered - usually quite quickly. But if you're in your inbox, or have mobile notifications enabled, you can see emails disappear in front of your eyes, or get notified about emails that no longer exist.

All of which is a pain for humans, but disastrous if you have any automated processes that trigger on receipt of email, or regularly sync with the inbox.

The email security vendor does not see this as a problem.

@Philipnschofield because it serves as a good counterbalance to the insane level of AI hype doing the rounds! Highly recommended!

@Philipnschofield I do now realise that my original post was a tad obtuse - I was testing a "share to Mastodon" thing that was a little cumbersome and I didn't update the default text when it posted.
