Reading Kafka on the Shore by Haruki Murakami and I love it. First I was like, oh this is like a less dark Catcher in the Rye. Now 13 chapters in, it's like a more dark Catcher in the Rye.

has andy weir read his own books?

Ah, so Andy Weir is like... *dumb* dumb gizmodo.com/andy-weir-st...

Me: booked a bonsai workshop for me and B at a bar friend: bonsais are a lot of work me: (slightly confused) oh no no no, i don't plan to keep them alive.

just booked his and her tattoos for next sunday 🥰

He's been burrito'd after having the post poop zoomies

yay! i am rewarded with monday off for my sloppy troubles this week

this concludes me posting photos into the void

and for funs, my new therapy sketchbook which is a work in progress

these are 2024 sketchbooks. I am missing one but I can't fit more than 4 pictures anyway.

For the archives, here's more sketchbook covers to prove I use my stickers. These are from 2025

this is a normal amount of stickers to own. If I had 3 drawers, then I'd have a "problem"

youtuber: guys I have a confession to make, I own a lot of stickers... like a lot. me: yessss me too. youtuber: today i am going to organize them me: yesss lets fucking go! youtuber:(Proceeds to show a hoard that is 1/20th the size of mine.) me: oh...no. I have a problem

i don't know if my boston friends came to bluesky, but if you did and you see this, Potch is a delight and I would go fo PAX just to play his game!

At PAX East? Come playtest my in-development board game tomorrow at 10:30 in the Tabletop Playtesting area!! Games take about 20 mins. Will be doing informal playtests the rest of the event as well.

The slop I am fixing today was made by replit and it isn't even consistent. It's like multiple junior engineers worth of work, all with different ways of doing the same thing.

The Jetsons lied to us

Stop worrying about what YA books to let your kids read and let them sort it out with V C Andrews and cocaine era Stephen King as God intended

send this to a hard worker

today I turned slop into gold...en slop

<deep breath> I refuse to let myself care about work enough to be annoyed when I see questionable decisions.

I think both of them would have been at January 6 but the difference is that Pete is just a car dealership guy who genuinely supports everything while Goofy is a victim of Qanon

I know some people on here are intensely anti-'AI', and that is legit, and some people are, if not "pro-AI", then either fascinated by the technology (me too in many ways) or find it useful in ways hard to ignore but EVERY person on here thinks Sam Altman is a turd, and that is so beautiful to me

this interview is very fun and I haven't even finished it. I got to 'how many dollars is my taste and judgement, if my taste and judgement are more valuable than ever?'

Happy to oblige

Yellowface is a favorite among friends and whenever we say 'it's like Yellowface' we don't mean it's about race baiting in publishing, we mean it stars the biggest piece of shit in the world that you get to hate more and more as you read it.

I also read Bring the House Down by Charlotte Runcie about a critic who sleeps with an artist after submitting a 1 star review of her work without disclosing he was a critic or had reviewed her show. In response, she rewrites her 1 woman show as a take down of the critic, which is a HUGE success.

Read 2 great books this weekend. A southern Gothic by Michael McDowell called The Amulet about an evil necklace wreaking havok on a small town in the 60s.

only valid use of AR glasses is going to the store and seeing a giant red number over the mustards telling you how many jars you have in the back of the fridge

NPR is failing to mention that most startups don't last. All this advertizing is for ephemeral businesses.

The "in front of Zendaya" elevates this to art, for me

I am reading these old natty Gs and Audubon magazines from the 70s and 80s. I think it would be interesting to take an article about an environmental issue and do a follow up article. I mean did TVA change it's spots?

::rubs hands together:: yessss Meta come burst this bubble because everything you do turns to shit squared

I want an AI tool to help me write emails but I want it to be trained only on advertizement copy from 1933 National Geographics

Happy St Patty's day from Columbo

i got a few national geographics to cut up for therapy homework my therapist in the future: why do you keep putting cat heads on human bodies and girl heads on cat bodies.

I make drawings in my sketchbook whose only purpose is for me to zone out coloring and this year I have been making mostly parades

k I have found the best use of claude is returning to a branch you put down over a month ago that functionally and making it tell you why the unit tests are broken.

The algorithm is tired of my specific brand of bullshit. (Credit to @bladebarringer.com for C3P-OhNo)

The AI as God thing really separates the actual antitheists from the posers. I will assemble friends and kill that computer as a service to our dignity as a species.

hey seattle pals

my brain upon reading something horrible in the news and feeling awful: maybe buying more paint will fix this.

Newly released footage shows an ICE agent killing Rubin Ray Martinez, 23, in his car in Texas. "He was shot at point-blank range through his side window by an ICE agent who was in no danger." www.bbc.com/news/article...

we need to bring back 'Grody to the Max!'

I think my Claude might be broken, cause it is giving 'Clippy but wrong 50% of the time' not 'has a soul.'

this is what society gets for stigmatizing drugs and sex because now some adults are experiencing euphoric feelings for the first time ever from their computers and defining it as celestial and otherworldly and not for what it is - another chemical reaction in the brain
