Roses are red. Violets are blue. I’m not very creative. Finance/investments for a US utility. Liverpool fan. Occasional baker. Views and sarcasm are my own.

A close-up photograph of a person dressed as a bearded Viking warrior wearing a metal helmet with a built-in eye guard. Overlaying the image is a humorous sequence of bold, white sans-serif text lines that read from top to bottom: "Pick your battles. Pick fewer battles than that. Put some battles back. That's still too many battles."
Three middle aged women facing the Braves home field while dodging rain drops for a home baseball game.
A failed delivery notice from Amazon. For some reason UPS wants a signature for a bag of pistachios and so “couldn’t complete your delivery and is holding it for you to pick up.” Pistachios. A signature for p-i-s-t-a-c-h-I-o-s.
A close-up, top-down shot shows a circular "I'm a Georgia Voter" sticker centered on a square white backing. The sticker features a realistic illustration of a peach with green leaves and the text "I'm a Georgia Voter" in a serif font, wrapped by the bold phrase "I SECURED MY VOTE!" along the bottom curve. The sticker rests on a textured teal and white patterned surface.
A frosted cake sitting on a white cardboard layer that is sitting on a metal cake platter. The cake has 2 layers. The frosting is raspberry buttercream and it is pink because of raspberries that have been added. There are gobs of dark red raspberry filling in dotted across the top - they look like paisley prints (or maybe like sperm if you are 12)
A cake that is not frosted on the sides sitting on a white cake saver on a dark wood table. The cake layers are chocolate, and are covered in chocolate ganache, which is then topped with chocolate/kahlua whipped cream which is then topped with crushed Oreos. There are 3 layers so the assembled cake is a little like a lasagna.
Royals at Braves. Opening weekend. Hank Aaron Terrace seats.
A screenshot of a text exchange in response to an article from www.newscientist.com about how “AIs can’t stop recommending nuclear strikes in war game simulations”. There is amusement and regret that the AIs haven’t learned the key lesson from the movie War Games.
Screenshot of Spotify app with lyrics for Morrissey’s “Every Day Is Like Sunday”. The lyrics at the time of the screenshot say “in the seaside town that they forgot to bomb, Come, Come, Come - nuclear bomb. Every day is like Sunday” Very uplifting indeed!
A white square plate holds two small chocolate covered toffee squares and a larger butterscotch blondies. The white plate sits on a red surface.
