that's earthslop. you only like it because you live here

someone on this plane to Orlando is wearing a “Kill Your Local Pedophile” shirt, the fashion statement that says: A) you bought a shirt with the word “pedophile” on the front and back B) you want people to look at you and think of pedophilia

holy shit i stole this from reddit but it looks like the artemis mission control room at NASA has a plush artemis (cat from sailormoon) AND a guy wearing a sailormoon lanyard i love him

Kicked out of arcsys headquarters for calling Baiken “mommy with the tatami”

can't find it, but the one where Bakkooonn told Gordon Ramsay he was nothing compared to the BurgerTime chef because he's never walked over a giant egg to have it crush a sentient hot dog man

[reading a book in first person] i dont remember doing any of this

broken record on this, but I really don’t know why people want to import screenshots here of the NRSC or Mace or Vance’s nasty shithead tweets “duh, hey guys here’s what Mace is saying about TDoV” why? we know they’re substantively cruel, is it important to see their performance of cruelty too?

not sure how gauche posting this is, and I might delete later, but I looked through my Paypal, Ko-Fi, and GFM transactions, and in the past year I donated to about 70 (almost-all trans) MA requests. I know they were small donations, but I'm proud of that and I'm gonna keep doing it. happy TDoV 🏳️‍⚧️

Happy International Transgender Day of Visibility! We're everywhere and we're cool. Here's the trans pride flag 🏳️‍⚧️ on a mid-90s Pentium running DOS.

Japanese progress (3/30/2026) - - Finished “I’m Learning Japanese” and did the final exercise of translating a letter - continued MemRise, but started making notes of kanji/kanji composition - started the much more involved Genki v3 materials I’m still probably like JLPT N-negative-3.

the microsoft store sucks so much. “preparing to download” what. why. are you the USS Enterprise, do you need to prepare to fire, just download the fucking files.

when the “network is slow”, it’s usually not a “network issue.” no, it’s not a “firewall issue.” no, it’s not a “bandwidth issue” either.

gotten multiple compliments on my nails the past few days, even had a woman say they were prettier and better-looking than hers lol

Pre-gamed my volunteer shift for the Great Suffolk Cleanup tomorrow by going around the entire perimeter of my condo complex’s retention pond. Got about 20+ pounds of garbage out!

re: HP - if I wanted to watch Brits being monstrous bigots to other Brits, I'd just read the news

chainsaw man is ultimately another tragicomedy about becoming important at work. the moral is to never hustle. the grindset is too dangerous. real winners quit.

pulling the top off my Mermaid energy drink packet with my teeth like I’m pulling the pin off a grenade

it’s a good day when I get to junk a piece of equipment I don’t like

“Dork-ass dad going to take his son to a play date at a trampoline park” fit

time for my post-late night work change ritual: getting fast food, parking in the local college’s deserted satellite campus parking lot, turning the car off, and eating in total darkness and silence, mind blank

Litter walk with son this afternoon. He helped me around the pond for 15 minutes before he went inside, I went on for another 20-30 minutes

Dune 3: GIT R DUNE

was cleaning off these old C3850 network switches and I double-checked the end-of-life date because the manufacturing date said 2015, then I had to remind myself that was 11 damn years ago.

makes me want to rewatch Decentraland: The Future Is a Dead Mall (2023!) where the Metaverse as a concept was treated as an inevitability. also makes me remember how Zuck thought people would use VR for meetings which was hilarious. I can't get my boss to share a window and not his entire desktop.

Japanese progress (besides vocabulary work on MemRise) - - more basic Kanji practice - got a handle on counting in Japanese up to 999 - with only a few hiccups, can recall all 46 basic hiragana/katakana + dakuten/han-dakuten characters - tried translating a page from kids’ paper craft book

results from an impromptu litter walk with my son and mother-in-law at the condo retention pond. my son saw a drink lid in the water as we fed the fish, so I got my Japanese litter tongs that I keep in my car, got it out, then I kept going I should do more litter walks like I used to

(my boss's voice) is there a way to transmit it wirelessly

please, do not disappoint Justy

Accept no substitutes:

boy, it’d be nice to talk to my mother about my son and his school in 2026 before she immediately interrupts about her insights in things that happened in 1994 “I didn’t like your fifth grade teacher” well she’s probably long dead Mom so maybe we can talk about things from this decade, yeah?

Japanese progress: - learned about kono, sono, ano - got feet wet with kanji - translation exercise with combination kanji/hiragana - morning Japanese practice with writing. Can recognize and write the basic 70+ hiragana from memory, katakana I’ve got about 20 or so down

already visualizing "(D-VA) Tim Kaine - Yea" and/or "(D-VA) Mark Warner - Yea"

I went to the Farm Fresh near me that's an international grocery, and they had wasabi flavored sesame seed furikake, delicious 🍚

one fun thing I learned in New Orleans is that Nicholas Cage purchased a 9-foot tall pyramid tomb during his financial problems in the late-2000s. he said it was because of a curse from owning a haunted mansion, but tombs/graves in NO are generally protected from surrender during bankruptcy

the only Claude I care about is Claude C. Kenny, one of two playable protagonists of the 1999 Tri-Ace developed JRPG Star Ocean: The Second Story for the Sony PlayStation Home Entertainment Console

I will never apologize for a post

If you're old enough to have watched .hack//Sign you should probably be more worried about .back//Pain

cautiously optimistic because Taro seems more like an auteur who could have a fresh take on the material, but much of what the original great to me were a parsimonious cast and budget resulting in neat character moments and interesting design choices.

I think I’m being annoying about learning Japanese but I’m genuinely impressed with my progress in just two weeks

I’d love a meal of corned beef hash, Spam, and fried potatoes

saw the phrase “my parents met on MySpace” on Discord. don’t like that

making progress!
