Wishing you a happy Halloween from my avocado toast Ellie dog and cute husband.

Another good, spooky one from @keeleyshawart

This was so moving from @Keeleyshawart‘s instagram today. She is wonderfully talented.

Facebook is changing its umbrella corporate name to Meta. It didn’t take long for Twitter to spot the Sweet Baby Ray’s barbeque sauce on Zuckerberg’s bookshelf.

I keep mine in the fridge, but ok.

And in case you’ve forgotten, Mark likes his meat.

Today, for the first time, while using the app, WordPress asked a two-question survey while I was using the app. It gave me the option of sending them a message.

I did. This is it:

The way images and videos are added to a post is unnecessarily complicated. There are six clicks from start to finish to include a photo in a post. The app is clunky and doesn’t have to be. It was simpler a few years ago but now gets more aggravating with each update. There’s no reason to make a text block each time you hit Enter! Why is that necessary? Most bloggers are writers or photobloggers. We want body paragraphs and photo blocks easily accessble. Send a survey to bloggers and ask the most used options (body paragraphs — not separate blocks, photos, pull quotes, video) and put those as buttons. Then have a drop-down for the other options — with as few clicks as possible to insert things.

Right now it’s just bad UX. It has great promise. Please take your bloggers’ advice in the form of a survey.

Sincerely,
Kerry Faler

Reminder:

I love funny people. I count myself as a funny person. My sense of humor goes from silly to smart and dry. I can’t stand gross, tacky, or shock humor.

What I do like is this skit on Saturday Night Live. It’s my all-time favorite for many reasons: Kenan Thompson breaking into song in wacky tangents without talking to his talk show guests, Fred Armisen as a saxophone player, Jason Sudekis jumping into the frame in a red tracksuit doing the Roger Rabbit, and finally, running out of room for Lindsay Buckingham.

It’s the talk show I want to be real. I would watch every day.

Here’s “What’s Up With That” from this past Saturday.

This is just lovely. Just shine.

My cat found an unopened Whataburger ketchup container, brought it to his spot on the sofa, cuddled up and is taking a nap.

Could be weirder, I guess.

Have I told y’all how much I love fall shopping season? Do I need a sweater? No. Am I going to look at sweaters online and load up my cart, then delete things, then eventually buy something? Yes.
