I was just mentioning Britanny Murphy’s performance to my husband the other day, she was such an island of (hilarious) sincerity in a perfect river of satire.

Also I think I say “it’d be real easy” like … once a week?

“Drive me home?”

“Don’t let her fool you, she lives two trailers down!”

“So? It’d be real easy!”

The Spanish Prisoner. I won’t spoil anything, but Steve Martin’s performance is remarkable!

Primer is another movie I’ve returned to over and over.

Also, Ever After for comfort.

+1 for drop dead gorgeous, my favorite comedy along with muppets from space.

I heard about it when it was in development but hadn’t followed up! I still have escape velocity on my 2024 Mac but maybe I will check I out the loving homage.

Escape velocity (1996, ambrosia software game for macOS). My favorite computer game of all time I think.

Little app only for the Apple Watch called Nomi that I like. Doesn’t get updated anymore but still works. It’s a couple bucks, and I’ve enjoyed it for years

Every morning I take the dog outside for her morning walk, start the coffee, make the bed, and get her fed and settled. Then I’m at my desk and I do the Wordle, NYT mini crossword and connections puzzles (and send them to the family group chat). Then I play one game of online chess, losing very badly and analyzing my mistakes afterward. Now that I’m totally awake and having my coffee, I spend time with my spiritual routine, then start answering my emails around 9 (I’m a web developer and work from home).

I used ChatGPT this morning to create a Firefox extension for my favorite website (to allow me to speed up audio playback as desired.) just a few minutes’ back-and-forth and it works perfectly. If you’ve got a favorite site with a UI that you r always wanted slightly tweaked, you could try making a browser extension to do that!

I came here to post this and I wouldn’t have clogged up the thread with this useless comment except for your username. I salute you

I have it on good authority it was Dancing in the dark by Springsteen

There’s like… no downside: all upside.

Edit: I exaggerated, of course. Below this are some downsides that individuals have experienced. But personally, my experience using Firefox on desktop for Mac has been all upside. If everybody who can just tries it out, you might be surprised at how friction-free the change is.
