Humanity doesn't comprehensively understand the mind of a single other species - including dogs & cats, who live in our homes & sleep next to us - yet humans are the only recorded species that knowingly commits suicide in large numbers while also trying to replicate our "intelligence" in a proxy.

Realizing that the goal of the first third of my life was being more Christ-like & the second third will be to be more Lugh-like, I guess. Yet to be determined if round 3 will be Odin- or Nemesis-like.

Everyone of these motherfuckers would wolf down a whole German Shepherd in a second.

Gemini: Only you can prevent you from achieving your dreams. And you will. Over and over again.

We've made too much fuss over what is or isn't art & not nearly enough over whether something actually bothers to say anything interesting or not. As a result (imo), most game-adjacent fields of art are 90% fallow or baring only rotten fruits, 10% desperate attempts to recall one's humanity.

Current* conditions near Chicago, IL:

I still have a lot of stuff to get rid of, including larger and inconvenient items. Please help. Starts now, continues until hope has fully withered.

"You have to stay alive -" OK, anyone gonna help with that? Or... ?

It appears that the news has broken that Caden Mark Gardner and I have programmed a series on Trans Filmmakers for the Criterion Channel. These films will be available in April www.criterion.com/current/post...

This, from Huerta's statement, is gutting. She couldn't tell anyone, because he had put himself in a position to kill everything she cared about if the truth got out.

yeah uh i'm thinking we just damnatio memoriae Chavez and name everything for huerta instead

Finished up my study/homage of this Zelda illustration. Some aspects I missed in retrospect but it’s about learning here.

It is *fascinating* to me how quickly some people have gone completely from “we all must work in the office! human collaboration is vital and only happens in person!” to “I can replace all these pesky people with chatbots!” Definitely some commentary there about our society and who gets to choose.

Traditional ides of march dinner

Sometimes I think this sentence is the full encapsulation of what "the American experiment" is: "Voted that the earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof; voted, that the earth is given to the Saints; voted, we are the Saints."

This is the best lede I've seen in a tech story in...years? There should be an award just for ledes.

It's maddening to see people ignore that DEI programs promote a more meritocratic organization - a bulwark against the metastasizing masses of mediocre-at-best white bureaucrats - using systemic levers rather than act as publicly funded white guilt assuagement lottery programs that are nice to have.

It's fucking depressing how much journalism even on the left is wasted on the thoughts & feelings of rank-&-file Nazis. I don't care if they're women. I don't care if they're not white. I don't fucking care. They're Nazis. You don't need a whole article, just one sentence: "this person is a Nazi."

It was just over 70 degrees (F) two days ago. It's currently snowing, this being the second time it's done so today.

One of those days where you can't help but feel like you're always going to get a swift kick to the ribs whenever you try to live a happier, more fulfilling life &/or whenever you finally choose to speak up for yourself.

Looked up places to check out in WI & found what appeared to be a delightful wood type & printing museum/workshop... that posted directly to their website a statement in which they chose to argue that their sudden dropping of artists' residencies *definitely wasn't* motivated by racism. Yeah. Sure.

“My eyes are burning and I look outside and see people without masks are going on with their daily lives. I am not so brave. There’s this smell in the air I can’t explain.”

Happy International Women's Day. 🏴

Gotta say: if you don't know "Claude" is AI, this is a very good dril tweet.

The overwhelming number of genAI results for basic historical image searches is really not helping to distract from all the despair & grief for the state of the world.

Dyke knights wip! ⚔️

DHS killed a 23yo in Texas in March 2025 the same way they killed Renee Good www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

Unfortunately, the Dems behaving in this way would be a (pathetic, shameful) improvement over the (hellish) status quo, which is just both parties demanding more money & telling you to fuck yourself in return.

Weird sleep issues, increased ideation, unbelievably painful physical side effects, & no noticeable reduction in depression symptoms. Weed? Foggier memory, bit groggier than usual in the morning, some appetite issues if the dosage gets too high, but otherwise very meaningful reduction in ideation.

Lest we forget, there's art in writing the book & art in making the book. If either artist did a good job, you have every reason to commend that! (Also not a bad reminder: people can make their own books out of someone else's text as artistic practice - I strongly recommend it for student-writers.)

Wall-to-wall ads pitching protein-heavy food, blaring "strong men for hard times," followed up by multiple spots for the US Army that emphasize getting a piece of the action more than anything else shoehorned in before a potential ground invasion. & here I thought I *really* hated ads in the 2000s.

Fun fact about round ships: Russia tried a round monitor (popovka, named after the designer) for their late 19th C. Black Sea defense forces. It unsurprisingly had some considerable issues in choppy seas. This one looks more like a hovercraft than a popovka, but very cool to see all the same.

something drastically different tho. not necessarily thematically relevant or anything. but the large sweeping harganeth cloth/chainmail gives me an idea of a big skirt. like on a dancer with a big glowing dress/skirt. a sword dancer maybe. doesnt fit other units exactly... but hey. why not.

I appreciate that interior design is an art form, but it would be very cool if more interior designers recognized that, no, functionality isn't secondary to aesthetics. I have to put all my shit *somewhere* & I'll have to do work *sometime*.

More & more GW stuff missing me by a wide margin. The new DoK look boring as hell - they don't bring in 1) shadow magic shit, 2) old DE heavy chainmail/plate combos, 3) old DE Cold One dino shit, or 4) weird Morathi monsterfucker fodder.

I saw someone claim "the long 2010s" but I think "the excruciating 2000s" is more apt.

this isn't a distraction from epstein class pedophilia it's an expression of the epstein class worldview

It's not even doomsday & I don't really want to be here half the time, so why the fuck would I want to be here when things get mind-bendingly worse?

figured i'd check in on this to see how it's going and, well, ask your favorite attorney account if "legal information" and "legal advice" are interchangeable terms :)

Good news for trans Americans wondering what it was like to live in the HRE.

This is true, but the American one isn't viscerally horny at the sight of its own blood enough.

One thing people don't think about is that trans folks relocating to safer states are, without fail, relocating to FAR MORE EXPENSIVE states. My rent here in New Jersey for a 1BR is *$1300* more than it cost to rent a 2 bedroom house in Oklahoma City. And guess what group has trouble finding work?

If you have the means, please donate to the Trans Continental Pipeline right now. They are a Colorado based org that helps trans people relocate and they are overwhelmed with requests. Colorado borders Kansas, and TCP has the infrastructure to help get people out. tcpipeline.org

As of tonight, licenses of trans people across Kansas are being invalidated en masse, enabling the overnight criminalization of an entire group of people for going about our lives. It’s often said you never know when you’re living through history, so let me assure you: that’s what’s happening now.
