I guess my body is a bad size.

I ordered some pants šŸ‘– the other day and they didnā€™t fit so I went to the store just now to exchange them.

ā€¦and couldnā€™t find any that really fit like I wanted. Everything was either too long or two short.

Time to find a personal tailor.

The idiot about to take credit for all this is happy, Iā€™m sure.

For anyone using variable fonts in Affinity design apps:
āš ļø BEWARE āš ļø

Affinity applies kerning values from a variable fontā€™s default instance (usually a moderate ā€œRegularā€ style) to *all* variants of that font, even if it includes design variants with drastically different kerning.

Itā€™s easy to miss in variable fonts with relatively limited stylistic ranges (where kerning doesnā€™t change much throughout), but itā€™s quite problematic for variable fonts that cover more expansive ranges of variation.

ā€œAthleisureā€ is great.

Iā€™ll take any excuse to wear social acceptable sweatpants out in public.

I told myself after eating fast food yesterday that I'd cut back this weekend because my body has turned from temple to trash heap.

But I kinda want some Taco Bell...

I've been reading this post by Harry Litman. "Why I Just Resigned from the Los Angeles Times":

"But I have written my last op-ed for the Times. Yesterday, I resigned my position. I donā€™t want to continue to work for a paper that is appeasing Trump and facilitating his assault on democratic rule for craven reasons."

MSNBC Morning Joe's bended-knee stance has infected the programming.

A disgrace, top to bottom, for a channel that once pretended to be a (very slightly) left-wing alternative to the Murdoch family's increasingly extremist propaganda operation.

So remove MSNBC ā€“ owned and tendentiously operated by Trump-fearing Comcast ā€“ from the dwindling list of "leading forums for discussion of public affairs." Travesty.

I ordered some clothes on Friday during the sales, and one pair of pants came in today with the security tag still on it.

Helpful.
