One of the fun things about adhd is having to explain to people how you can be in your late 40’s and still struggle with fuckin’ *object permanence*.

Realizing that I did it: I kept my random Xmas decorations from last year up for so long that it’s almost Christmas again and they’re still up. This is because I am efficient.

… it’s snowing and I have to go to work. Thanks, Zohran.

To whoever consistently takes the second to last car on the N train in the mornings that wears a perfume that I am, apparently, horribly allergic to, to the point of feeling my throat close up and eyes water: You do you I guess, keep taking that same car, I’ll be over here on the last one.

Allowing myself to lib the fuck out a little this morning. As a treat.

Fucking bring it. THIS IS WHY WE SAY RUN ACTUAL, HONEST SOCIALISTS. It's not fucking complicated. You can just walk over the billionaire machine if everyone just stops punching left for like five seconds.

Welp they’re starting to call it for our boy.

Sun is shining, birds are singing, I just voted for a socialist, and Cheney’s dead. Good day so far.

Just finished Bloom & Rage. Cried manly tears. Game is good.

Just realized that I am on-call next week. Next week happens to be the official End of Windows 10 Support. RIP me, I guess.

5-6 hours in, Lost Records: Bloom & Rage is a nostalgic (especially for my particular age group, jeez) dreampop-drenched delight, so far.

The thing about Tylenol supposedly causing autism is that Trump and his cronies continue to throw out increasingly desperate distractions from their continuing lack of releasing the Epstein files.

Y’ever have one of those Mondays where even the basic *concept* of ‘focus’ is alien and foreign to you?

Had a loooong day/week (including being on my feet all day at a construction site trying to set up a firewall for them) and so I slept for like 14 hours last night. Am up now and unsure what year it is.

Posting this historical document here. For history reasons.

Quick reminder due to recent events that piracy had been and continues to be the most ethical way to watch mass media content. Just sayin’.

Huh. Those terrors, they sure do, uh, keep going, don't they?

Spent my whole subway ride to work thinking I need to get back to game design, all the unfinished Callings in my game are staring accusingly at me from my untouched-for-months text file. Does this mean my lack of inspiration is starting to lift at long last?

lol. lmao, even.

Having watched the first 10 minutes of Ruri Rocks, a wholesome, educational slice-of-life anime about a young woman discovering a love of mineralogy alongside friends and mentors, I can tell that its creator loves 3 things: 1) Butts 2) Boobs 3) The unending geological wonders of the natural world.

ConEd: “Yay you used 35% less energy overall this month 🎉” Also ConEd: “Anyway here’s your bill for the month, it’s mysteriously $100 more than last month’s.” Fucking hell.

New doc call went well! Doc heard me out, asked good questions, declared me Gary as fuck, sent the pharmacy a request for legal speed plz thx. Now here’s hoping the process of actually *getting* my meds involves a minimum of having to yell at my insurance.

About to have 1st call with a new doc for my adhd meds. I suspect that seeing me log in from a client’s office because I lost track of time and wasn’t able to make it back home in time for our first call will be a deciding factor in him going “oh yeah, adhd as *fuck*, get this guy his meds”

As much as I love the speed, size, and power efficiency gains of modern solid-state drives, sitting here next to a client’s little 4-drive NAS and hearing those disks spinning and those drive heads making all their delightful little physical *noises* does prompt a certain strange nostalgia in me

New office chairs arrived

Have decided I want to try and get into modern metal, and so I’ve prepared four playlists of increasing modernity, to acclimate myself a my music tastes have mostly fossilized. First, back to my roots with some Deftones, Tool, System of a Down, and Alice In Chains.

Me before gifting my cat an automatic cleaning litterbox: “I dunno why these things need to give you reports on how many times your cat does its business that’s ridiculous” Me after: “ooh new phone alert my kitty is taking a tinkle 😻”

If you're a small press or independent tabletop creator who must soon halt shipments to the US because of Trump's axing the de minimis tariff exemption, I want to hear from you. email: [email protected] or, [email protected] DMs: open

I don’t really auto-clock em-dashes as an AI tell, but on the other hand the downright visceral reaction of disgust every time I read that stupid “it’s not just X, it’s Y” sentence structure is wild and I see it fucking everywhere. Sigh.

Being on-call on my birthday is an experience. My phone keeps making noises and it’s a 50/50 chance that it’s someone wishing me a happy birthday, or a server crashing somewhere.

Birthday present to myself just arrived. New favorite mug unlocked.

Looks like GPT-5 is getting announced today, around 1pm (details already leaked on github earlier lol I guess the new GPT isn't *that* much smarter), excited to find out what fresh new hells are about to arise.

ok but for real 1Password having a major outage while I was *in the middle of doing a demo of it for a client* is clearly some kind of punishment for me being a bad person

Welp I finally have a health plan again, yay for-profit healthcare system sigh. Anyway in the time I was without a health plan all my doctors left NYC so now I need to find new doctors all around yaaaaaay

Long time followers may remember bitching about jackhammering outside my window back when I worked from home. Amusingly, construction ended when I went back to office. Anyway, I'm WFH today, first time in months. Guess what's happening right outside my window, also for the first time in months?

Our latest episode, "A Visit to the Shore" is now available! The crew regroups in the wake of military mobilization, and searches for inspiration. www.explorerswanted.fm/275 #TTRPG #ActualPlay #Numenera #CypherSystem #podcast

My office has these little fruit gummy snacks and I’ve taken to enacting acts of gummy-mancy to determine my day, mostly by making poker hands out of them. Today is a full Five Flavor Day, *and* I got a Full House with 2 strawberry 3 raspberry gummies. Big day ahead, clearly.

T-break Day 2 progress report: Upsides: increased productivity and ability to get shit done around the apartment. Finally took down the recycling. Downsides: unfiltered perception of our current reality is harrowing and upsetting on a soul-deep level.

Hyperfixation alert: this week’s song that I will listen to on repeat for days on end until all of a sudden I can never listen to it again: Punkrocker, by the Teddybears (feat. Iggy Pop). I listen to the music with no fear. You can hear it too if you’re sincere.

Taking an unexpected t-break as I left my THC vape at a friend's place on Saturday. Wish me luck raw-dogging reality this week.

Every episode of Lord of Mysteries I watch makes me want to run or play in an Invisible Sun campaign all the more.

My brain keeps doing this fun thing where if it’s before 8 pm, it’s too early to start doing anything, but if it’s after 8 pm it’s too late to start doing anything.

First impressions of the Dungeon Crawler Carl webtoon? Pleasantly surprised!
