Omg this rules, go Girl Scouts.

Everyone is asking about the Star Trek rainbow communication badge; I’ve had it for years - it’s via Diesel Sweeties: topatoco.com/collections/...

Ever get an audio clip looping in your head? Today it’s Charlie the unicorn clips playing on loop in my brain.

Had a depressing conversation with someone about AI use in state government. I don’t wanna talk about it.

Normal person: I asked AI and it told me-- Every AI researcher:

Great thread here:

still really proud of this piece - I wrote it before the theft software we've been falsely calling "A.I." became ubiquitous, but I think it still outlines all the ways these ghoulish processes are an affront to the dignity of the living and the dead.

Day three of dealing with food allergy repercussions. My guts hurt. I itch everywhere. Still shitting blood. I should not have eaten things without looking at ingredient list. Pain.

That’s Columbine. A columbus is the measurement of electric charge of 1 amp per second.

Today I learned there is such a thing as National Boss's Day, and that allegedly it is this Thursday and I SWEAR TO GOD that if I find out any of you have participated in such a craven act of subservience to the ownership caste I will find you and give you SUCH a noogie

Tummy hurty girl has hurty tummy

Story where a tomboy woman falls in love with a man and becomes more feminine as their relationship develops ❌ Story where man falls in love with a butch and becomes more femme as their relationship develops ✔️

A few years ago while on vacation, I met a doctor who at the end of his shift would stop at the hotel bar to unwind and he would always ask for an Almond daiquiri. This, in and of itself, was weird because who ever heard of almond daiquiris, but apparently the liqueur for it exists! Anyways…

I had bad nightmares. The bad kind. Usually my nightmares are the ordinary run of the mill horror story, bloody and deadly and terrible and awful, the sort that horror authors strive for and that psychiatrists scribble notes about, but sometimes I have nightmares worse than that.

Today I taught our kiddo how to tie their flannel around their waist.

Depression sure is pulling on me hard.

Watching SpongeBob “he just killed that guy…”

I while back we got some dab oil that was Gross. But we ran out of the good stuff, so I figured what the hell I’ll do The Gross Stuff, I can deal with a little burnt rubber smell. But I forgot that it actually smells like burnt rubber AND burnt hair. Yeah I threw it away.

WATCH THIS WITHOUT SMILING I DARE YOU

History will be recorded in zines, not newsreels.

Do the kids know about John Carpenter’s They Live these days?

I’ve started a GoFundMe to help with my cancer battle gofund.me/6850175a3

I hooked a tiny air pump up to a rewired vape cartridge and now I’m high enough that I literally don’t care about anything right now. Except maybe cheese. I care about cheese. But I’m too couchlocked to go get cheese lolol

If you are redneck enough, you are offered the opportunity to eat alligator even if you’ve never been to Florida.

What if the reason Graber is being a jackass is so people will get so angry they actually band together and build their own relays (and not just PDSs) so that at protocol finally decentralizes. Is Graber doing a Leto Duncan God Emperor thing, be evil to intentionally trigger a diaspora?

I’ve been meaning to read this for a while, and I just finished the story I was reading, and I just got paid yesterday, so this review is what tipped the scales just enough to buy the paperback of the first in the series (I prefer paper to digital, I know I’m weird). Proof that reviews help.

While trying to repair something last night I broke it even further. Should have been a five minute soldering task. Burnt the piece and mangled a jack. I can cleanup the burn probably, it’s mostly flux burn I hope. New plug is easy if I had the right sized crimpers and plugs, I don’t have them tho.

"you can never see posts that Bluesky doesn't want you to see, but you're free to ban more posts or users beyond what Bluesky will ban. This system means that Bluesky inc retains the power to use their effective monopoly to suppress speech Graber finds distasteful"

I’m struggling with the fact that I don’t have any “work space”. Everyday I convert my bedroom to an office, work for a few hours, then convert it back to a bedroom. I don’t have a dedicated flat work surface, and all my projects have to be small enough to pack up at the end of the night.

I just absentmindedly picked up my coffee cup and a lighter and tried to smoke it.

I did too much thinking today. I got very far, but then I ran out of brain energy and it turned to mush, so I laid on the floor and kinda zonked out for a while.

I generally kinda hate computers.

The day after I wrote this essay, someone accidentally popped a balloon at the queer bar mentioned in this essay, and everyone started screaming, thinking the transphobe threatening to shoot up the place had come back to make good on his promise. And yet, we still come out.

I just learned that not only can cats get headaches but they can get migraines, and that’s like the saddest thing I’ve heard today

Oh Cassandra, how I know how you felt.

I’m gonna find whoever is running that fucking loud leaf blower and I’m gonna shove it so far up their ass that when it’s turned on their head fucking pops like that scene from Scanners

Just for the sake of perversity I have learned how to type an em dash—so that I can say—fuck GPT.

I’m updating my old Mac as far as I can get it. The progress bar says it’s going to take either 56 hours or maybe 34 minutes, it can’t decide.

Article. I can read faster than any YouTuber can speak, even with the playback speed cranked up to comical levels. THAT SAID, article writers these days need fucking EDITORS they spend whole paragraphs FAFFING ABOUT before they get to the point IT'S CALLED THE INVERTED FUCKING PYRAMID MY DUDES

Kiddo just convinced us to pull out music instruments and record a jam session for the theme song, for the first season of her tv show, based on the graphic novel she’s writing.

Fuck. That worked. Unexpected. Weird.

Getting ready for the weekend like www.youtube.com/watch?v=znwR... #Horror

Who the fuck is Chotiner and why is everyone posting/memeing about them? The jokes and memes are so fucking thick that I can’t tell if this is a real person, a character in a show, a piece of software, what the fuck are you all talking about?!?

I was part of a working group on AI and Fraternity assembled by the Vatican. We met in Rome and worked on this over two days. I am happy to share the result of that intense effort: a Declaration we presented to the Pope and other government authorities coexistence.global

Who else is thinking about the movie Scanners today?

for the harm reduction bit--self harm includes obvious stuff like cutting, but also like scrolling bigoted comments, or looking at pictures of photoshopped celebrities. seeking dangerous liaisons, etc. these aren't INEVITABLY self harm, but they can be, and people often don't recognize it as such
