Sure, this is relaxing.

910 words tonight. It's like fucking pulling teeth, but I got past a sticking point. Did I get past it well? Right now, I don't care. I'd been thinking about it for days, and there's words in the document that get from point C to point D.

The music moved on from James McMurtry to John Prine & Kelsey Waldon's cover of "Love at the Five & Dime," and I'll be damned but that's about as perfect a segue as exists.

When I picked the 17 yo up from school, he said to me, “When Trump is gone, we’re going to have to think about how we rebuild the world’s trust in our country. We’re going to have to figure out how to atone for what we’ve done.” He’s got more on the ball than a lot of our leaders.

Been listening to a lot of @jamesmcmurtry.bsky.social recently. This one just gets me right in the goddamned feels. youtu.be/TmMRtmB51kU?...

parker was a really good source of trans information and news and was followed by a lot of cis liberals. so thanks for that you fucking dorks. i hope you enjoy your stupid ass game mod.

We are all in a state of constant panic and terror. It’s important to take a second when you see something online that triggers you to ask yourself “am it really triggered or am I just experiencing nonstop psychic damage from the world and my brain sees this as an outlet for my fear and rage.”

Ah bummer. I'd missed how warm it was getting and the leftover gumbo I was planning on for dinner that's been sitting on the porch has warmed up to 51 degrees. Nope nope nopity nope.

So stupid we are.

It's really funny that they chose to pick a public fight with an astronaut. You're never beating an astronaut in a popularity contest.

Took less than two hours of work for my anxiety to spike.

I really need to find a job that’s a better fit for me.

4yo: "I want to be a grown-up and I don't want to be a grown-up." Me: "Oh? Why?" 4yo: "If I'm a grown-up I don't have to go to school, so I want that. But I don't want to be a grown-up because grown-ups are always.... 'Blaaahhh so tiiiiired'." *makes Zombie noises*

Imagine being so based even your AI girlfriend breaks up with you over it

Just posted in a work chat that my resolutions are: "Find a way to convince the world that people are more important than profit, that talking is better than technology, that we should all slow down and do less with more." Starting off the year quietly again, I see.

If only we lived in a world where the President losing his mind meant anything. We all know what’s going to happen, right? At some point he dies, and all sorts of “exposés” will come out about this or that batshit thing he said or did, or videos of him on Epstein’s island or whatever, and

i don’t know if rowlf singing “what a wonderful world” to a sleeping puppy is soothing or lie-on-the-floor-and-sob heartbreaking. maybe it’s both. i think I needed both.

You misunderstood. When I said “Let’s circle back to that in the new year” I meant never contact me again.

Everyone who is watching football is going to turn on ESPN at 7 to watch the D3 championship, right? Should be a heck of a game.

Through three quarters, they couldn’t do a thing. Now, they’re world-beaters.

Still comfortably numb, Pink Floyd. Please advise.

8-8 is "rock bottom"?

I’m in this post, and I’d explain why I don’t like it, but it would take too long to get it right.

oh shit tomorrow is circle back day already

Time to reup the real National Security Strategy:

good rundown of how many democrats are, in fact, coming out against this shit www.lawyersgunsmoneyblog.com/2026/01/the-...

Hello. I'm complicated diverticulitis.

I see that I’m in line for another year of escaping into fantasy stories as a way to cope with reality.

The ends do not justify the means.

You ever think about how the Roman Senate kept meeting centuries into the reigns of emperors. Hanging out, shooting the shit, giving speeches, and play-acting that their positions of privilege remained positions of power.

Is it me, or do Schumer and Jeffries seem to be saying that their only problem is that they weren’t told about it?

I'm so so sick of spending the day angry at these people.

Sometimes the timeline lines up.

Don't you hate when your turn comes along and you completely whiff on your action? What if every attack is a hit? What if being in the combat actually matters even if you can't crank out massive damage? www.patreon.com/posts/no-was...

Just called @congressmanraja.bsky.social and left a voicemail calling for action, including articles in impeachment. At some point, we either stand for something or we don’t. I don’t care what Mike Johnson and the GOP will or won’t do.

Not for nothing, but justice isn’t supposed to be about wrath.

“Kinetic action” is a startlingly cold and bloodless term for murder.

Once again, I am appalled by the sheer number of people who acted to carry out immoral and illegal orders. This shit wouldn’t happen if more people were willing to say no.

I’ve been awake for five minutes and I already regret it. JFC, people.

If you or someone you know have been a victim of the sexualized deepfakes created by Grok and would like to discuss your civil legal options, DM me or reach out on Signal at riot.95. I can connect you with excellent free legal counsel.

With news of Grok generating csam on X, I’m once again asking @lausdsup.bsky.social to answer for the fact that LAUSD students are being exposed to sexually explicit AI slop at school.

The child pornography machine cannot apologise, any more than a washing machine or a printer can.

January always depresses me. Who needs it?
