domino meme of the "I'm a PC" vs "I'm a Mac" commercial saying "I just plugged my USB device in and it...just worked" all the way to "LG Monitors install spyware"

"Voices murmur. Sunlight outside. He feels he could almost sleep, but when he sleeps Liz Wykys comes back, cheerful and brisk, and when he wakes he has to learn the lack of her all over again." Goddamn, English can be beautiful sometimes. T~T

I just saw a meme that said “get in losers, we’re reclaiming the emdash”. People. PEOPLE. Where are your STANDARDS? It CLEARLY should be “get in, losers — we’re reclaiming the em dash.”

Reading Wolf Hall. It's been on my to-read since it won the Booker but I've always bounced off it since I never really liked books written in the present tense. But it's kinda clicking this time. There's an emotional intimacy, a kind of stream-of-consciousness that this kind of writing affords it,

The Fisherman was good. A little...overly wordy at times (I dunno, I kind of expect my horror to have short and punchy prose) but it was still lyrical and beautiful outside of the few times where the dialogue felt stilted. I liked it; it wasn't "horror" in the scary sense but more in the cosmic

GENTLEMEN BEHOLD I have made love to this machine! And now, in retrospect, I ask myself....why?

Yes. Using a computer now feels like this at all times.

Team Yankee started interesting, turned to crap. Unsurprising. Now reading The Fisherman by John Langan. Horror novel, supposedly, but it's not really scary. Just more kind of...unsettling. Has a fun kind of stream-of-consciousness narrative with nested stories within stories which is kinda neat

Gonna get into puppy play but I'm 41 years old and have terrible knees so I just get to lay in a sunbeam until someone feeds me some ibuprofen hidden in a piece of cheese

me when finding a game: "gotta check the steam reviews, gotta check the professional reviews, gotta see some gameplay vids, gotta check the vibes. I need to be mathematically certain I will enjoy this game." me when finding a book: "yeah sure, cover looks cool. throw it on the pile whatever."

stop being as interested in it when other countries get into it and start beating you (baseball)

rsync [remote-folder] [local-folder] "remote folder not found" checked it like four times. even went into bash history and found the exact command when I did this yesterday. still no. ssh into the remote and drill to the remote folder and rsync it to the former local (now remote) folder it works

doing another "re-read a book I last read 25 years ago and see how it holds up" thing and this time it's Team Yankee by Harold Coyle. It's holding up surprisingly well compared to the Tom Clancy novel. The prose is very workmanlike and straight-forward, but it does manage tension and fear and the

i remembered another one

tate is trying to jailbreak my old Kindle. he's having trouble. I say I'll take a look at it. He tells me "not to go to to much trouble" and doesn't realize I like jailbreaking devices and its not trouble, it's fun anyway:
