i’m setting you free. i’m releasing you from the discourse

The Trump administration is starving Americans. In Georgia, a food bank is running out of food while demand has surged by over 40%. Yes, Georgia is a red state, but before we go the FAFO route, remember Trump’s margin of victory in Georgia was 2.2%. So a lot of folks didn’t vote for this. 1/2

WE WHO ARE ABOUT TO DIE SALUTE U-Commuters.

Sorry I — Every day I am glad I am not on threads lol

Had to interact with Co-pilot for work today and I am no longer scared of AI taking my meat brain job.

Today, I was in Syracuse to deliver over $100,000 of baby formula to the FoodBank of Central New York. The formula was secured from Marine Park Distribution for price gouging during the 2022 national shortage. We'll keep going after any company that tries to take advantage of families in need.

“So the plan is to replace all their jobs with AI” Five minutes later: “what do you mean, broke people don’t spend as much?”

you know it's christmas season, time to pull the annual avocado toast article down from the attic

Pretty much..

No he wouldn't, Starbucks has standards.

Getting pre-irritated for my return to work tomorrow.

Perpetually true

U.S. online Black Friday spending hit a record $11.8 billion, rising 9.1% from last year. But even with more money spent, consumers bought fewer items. Story of the 2020s: spending more while getting less.

The wizard sleeps well. The little cat appears to be reading a grimoire in the library.

Like 30% of the country is absolutely enraged because they thought they were going to be able to be utter shitbirds without anyone being allowed to call them shitbirds, but here we are, calling them shitbirds.

If I'd been in my twenties I'd do art or save the world or get a degree I was useful in with the aim of being a professor. In my 40's I am tired & sickly and out of creative juice. I'd work part-time and take care of my cats full time, and live a simple life in a small apartment.

This is a subtle thing, but I think I would COLLABORATE more if there was UBI. When fund my own creative pursuits (e.g., music, blogging, streaming, ect), I can rarely afford to pay other people to join in and I feel very strongly that no creator should contribute for free. But if we BOTH had UBI…

Giving myself the gift of ✨giving up✨ this holiday season. I'm ordering shit TODAY, ordering a food thing later, and calling it quits.

I'm remembering a batman movie I got dragged to. It just reeked of Stockholms syndrome.

*sigh* I hate being so far from the garden state plaza and Woodbury Commons for my holiday shopping. 😭

Akkuma, a devilish purple bear from outer space who has settled in Hokkaido, rocks out.

One thing all the obscene pardons are obscuring: Epstein files.

*sigh* I can't wait to go to work tomorrow. Also: I need salad.

We listen and we absolutely fucking judge. 🥰🍵🫖

A tech reporter, who dedicated his life to consumer tech reviews at the expense of all the things that actually make being a human worthwhile, just told someone who complained about an ugly cord from a company known specifically for product aesthetic, to "go outside". 🤨

I am spiritually exhausted in the way only introverts are after a festive occasion.

Woke up to kitty cat nonsense as nature intended. Lazing a bit longer while they stare in anticipation of breakfast. We're currently doing half wet half dry, in the interest of slowing certain kittens (grown cats) down so the food doesn't come up.

I love NY

Tax the rich, implement UBI. UBI is proven to create jobs, as is raising the minimum wage to a livable wage. Invest in clean energy, which also creates jobs. Creating jobs in climate destroying industries and weapons industries is not the solution we need.

Unhinged cat, toddler, same diff. Speak gently, be patient, do not freak out when they inevitably injure you. It’s happening. Just know your first aid. Also: DIVERSION WORKS.

🐈 stepped on my face by accident so I woke up to a cut lip. 😭at least I got some sleep tho

They'll build a statue to the first reporter who tells this old dumbass to eat shit on camera

I’m cold and the traffic is awful already.

I couldn’t sleep for beans and then 🐈 wanted 3AM cuddles. I can’t deny 3AM cuddles. Anyway I’m going to fuck off on a Black Friday capitalism adventure to get in some fresh air and walking and thinking away from High Suburbia for a bit.

The wizard is snuggled into his bed, reading a novel about a radical lute player. The little cat is curled up above his head, on the pillow.

And still, there are those who say that Americans can’t do irony.

May the Force be with you today my Sparklefarts!

My cats are getting to participate in Thanksgiving for the first time, instead of being left with a sitter or cat feeder. They're not wow'ed. They care nothing for tradition. My spoiled little shits. ❤️💩💩❤️

Reminder to self before the holiday weekend:

It's a typo. It ought to say, "Why, you should make a secret of your post office savings accounts, even if you are marrying a good and honorable man."

IT COMES WITH SHARPENERS

Oh no I just saw a picture of the art supply suitcase go by so it must be time for my yearly psa: don't buy that. I've been given it many times in my life and it was usable once: in 1989. "But I don't know what to get my artist friends/talented cousins for the holidays!" I will help.

Nothing like a family holiday to make you yearn for the orderliness of Monday morning.

Me, an atheist: Your holiness I stand ready to join the crusade against the demonic computers

"Massachusetts Institute of Technology on Wednesday released a study that found that artificial intelligence can already replace 11.7% of the U.S. labor market, or as much as $1.2 trillion in wages across finance, health care and professional services." Universal basic income is needed yesterday.

Shirakaba-chan is a white birch tree from the town of Sakuho in Nagano, Japan.

One of my cats puked on the welcome mat this morning from eating too fast. On the day we're expecting company.
