ok. fine. fair play to Tomboyx, this is A Suit Which Technically Fits On My Body

Tomi is such a guy of all time. Talking about the TV Glow, Kpop girl groups, quitting your job to do folk music in the 21st century...

the trouble with being In Charge (a mantle which I never wanted nor aspired to) is that I know the right way to do everything. which means I catch and have to fix every instance of the wrong way to do something

this is going to be a blistering hot take from someone living under a lifetime of Catholic guilt but I don't think you get to declare yourself absolved of sin (having been "held accountable") without ever having spoken much less apologized to the actual person or people you've harmed

this is also funny because the state Does charge tax on electricity from public chargers anyway. It's less than the gas tax, basically just sales tax, but it's not like they're getting nothing from EV charging either

deeply, deeply, deeply unpleasant business. but I'm a big grown up butch and I'm putting on my pants and dealing with it

Thank you to the night shift for your incredible work, tonight and every night.

Hello

am I thirty or forty years old, with a job and a mortgage and a car payment? yes. Does my aunt still unfailingly get me a chocolate peanut butter bunny from Sanders (fka Morley), every easter? well... so far, yes

Tragedy of (the encircling of) the Commons: every single "free" EV charger in town on plugshare is in fact either not free or not public. The last and greatest insult to Nikola Tesla is perverting his free ground-distributed electricity idea into a network of private, brand-exclusive charge stations

now. The problem with the EV is that, especially since I haven't worked out even a slow-charging arrangement at home, I'm doing a lot of furtive, questionably allowed, possibly-trespassing kind of maneuvers for free or cheap level 2 charging

wow, what an honor, it finally happened to Me (had an offline tech day scheduled to do my Senior Tech Spreadsheet Responsibilities but it got stolen to cover a call-off)

today's update: for as long as I've driven cars, my keys have always lived in my right back pocket. When I got home from work, pulled in and before I got out, my butt triggered the lock+alarm button so when I pulled the interior door handle, it apparently thought it was being Stolen

This is why I have zero tolerance for people like casually saying that stuff is "degenerate" and I will always say something when I encounter that shit. It's cringe, it's Triggered SJW, whatever man, letting it slide is how you get this guy

hm. ok. new and exciting (derogatory) problem with the Car That Has A Computer In It: this is the second time I've gone outside and found it sitting fully unlocked with the windows wide open. I am aware it's April Fools but I didn't know the Car With Computer was capable of fucking with me like that

moving through the stages of grief and eventual acceptance of letting go of my old shitbox car status: in retrograde. I keep having dreams about my even older, even shittier long-gone old shitbox car

Trauma psionic yuri VN stocks have never been higher, get in while you can

donnie darko is presented and paced like a visual novel

word to the wise: @flomask.bsky.social appears to still be running a 50% discount on the FFP2 variant of the adult mask, for anyone who's seen mine and been interested but understandably found the price point difficult. I need to order filters anyway if anyone wants to go in on shipping

it makes logical sense, because cars and their infrastructure are much more than just tailpipe emissions, but I do still find it funny that the state is like "oh, you have an EV? so no gas tax? great, your plates will be $500 thank you"

girls visiting from out of state love it when you point to something on the hand-map

A thing I love about this modern life is that all your utilities and subscriptions Hate It when you pay them with a credit card. They demand bank details. And also, your bank details are not secure with any of them bc everyone is getting breached all the fucking time

depression after all of these years feels less like death is approaching and more like clocking into a hated job

hey? to the coworker who identified and subcultured out *nine* isolates? on a *urine* culture? I'm going to kill you. Like, I like you enough and we're cool outside of work. but you should have just finalized this shit as Multiple Organisms Present-Contamination and I Am going to kill you about it.

confirmed hypothesis the new Bolt isn't terrible to drive, however still maintain: Don' Wanna

we have! an owl! hear him "h-hoo, hoo, hoo" at 4am

stealth mission success: the guy at the gym front desk neither noticed nor cared I was using my partner's keyfob to scan in. I have unlocked: access to assisted pull up machine

ICE out in Ypsilanti today Stay safe and keep your folks safe Please

Ion' wannnnnnnnna

No tears shed for this nazi fuck but the sleeper point in this story is he went to one of those "troubled teen" programs a la Élan School which are, undeniably, peer rape+torture factories to produce traumatized fuckups and nazis, in that order

been looking at cars lately and the verdict is: Ion' wanna :(

Christ, @mattielubchansky.com, saying, "Edsel is what they call a Michigan brick" on today's No Gods No Mayors just about took me out.

The researchers also note that 25% of active-duty US Marines developed Long Covid "after mostly mild or asymptomatic infection." Trivia: it got referred to as the "Spanish Flu" b/c only Spain talked about the 1918 influenza pandemic: Western wartime censorship prevented discussion of the disease.

every single day it becomes harder to resist going Full Stalin. like, you know what. Fuck you actually. every parent of a cis kid? gulag. right now

But you cannot draw the masses into politics without drawing in the women as well. For under capitalism the female half of the human race is doubly oppressed.

RIP to everybody else but I personally love to work 9 hours and get paid for 10 of them. If this country ever moves out of the bronze age and abolishes DST ngl I will miss the fun little back-and-forth

the sidetrack skeleton is really bringing it tonight

so like. We're all on the same page that these monstrous assholes are doing it this way because they want to use the nukes, right. Not concerned with going off half-cocked on like a weeks' worth of stockpiled munitions because these demonic imbeciles are just going to start firing the nukes after

I've got 5011 other reasons to oppose the data centers umich is pushing, but I think we can add 'turning parts of Washtenaw County into a viable strike targets because we've got a Los Alamos AI cluster' to the list

A planned constitutional amendment by State Rep. Jimmie Wilson hopes to force state universities to follow local zoning laws.

"The CIA conspired to make me less cool than I was when I was 25" is the most succinct Gen X manifesto I've ever heard

It's really weird watching a Jamelle Bouie discourse that doesn't mention the original Jamelle Bouie shit which is that after October 7th he just shut the fuck up about Palestine until 2024 when mainstream Democrats started saying it was ok to talk about Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

Fuck the troops.

My hair is getting long enough to get tangled now and tbh if I shave my entire head I'm going to need everyone to politely not remark on it

someone remind me tonight at T-Time I have a Conversation Topic in the chamber. a business proposal, even

it's all just art. "porn" is just art that makes you horny, in precisely the way that "horror" is art that makes you scared and "metroidvania" is art that makes you write video essays
