... Tried to use GIMP and am immediately reminded why I fucking hate using GIMP

Started a new project, because I don't have enough new projects to do. This one is called "Conversations With My Past Self"... which I'm... doing in RPGMaker MV... for reasons that aren't quite clear to myself either.

Uninstalled all social media apps from my phone and only checking once a week? Great for my mental health.

You know, trying to do layout inspired by House of Leaves really leaves you appreciating the grueling work the layout artist did for House of Leaves.

My job as a slot technician has given me a lot of confidence to fuck shit up in my home life with regards to experimenting with IT adjacent things. I am way more confident using Linux now (I use Mint, which has a GUI). And I have learned how to execute commands in my terminal.

Wish I could internalize this

Now that X is default allowing AI art to be created from stealing real photos- I’ll be here. It will not replicate the effort & time it takes to do hair/makeup background/lighting/designing shoots on a whim nor replicate the artist friends I’ve met by doing this hobby for the last 8 years

Let's talk about generative AI, contaminated information, and rhubarb. Once upon a time, Europe was at war. Food was scarce, and the government of the quote-unquote United Kingdom looked for alternatives. 1/

Doom scrolling will not help.

🔊There’s NO standing authorization for attacking Venezuela. Per Art. I, Congress has war powers & WPR requires authorization or real emergency. *Neither exists.* Dictator in WH is manufacturing emergencies abroad to bolster political narrative at home. Congress MUST cut off funds & force a vote.

Holy fucking shit

New laptop runs mint MATE like a charm, though I'm wondering if I should have gone with XFCE instead, which is significantly more lightweight. The feature I'm personally most excited about is the working CD player. I can play music or DVDs now on it, though music CDs are more likely..

Down to needing about $125. As usual, anything helps! #MutualAid

New year, same Theo.

Have a happy new year!

If, like me, you found yourself singing that one Mountain Goats song at times this year, I think it is important to acknowledge: You did make it. WE made it. A lot of people in our lives didn't make it, and that should be acknowledged. But, for all that it is worth. You made it through this year.

YEAH I LIKE HOW IN MORROWIND THERE ARE BIG BUGS YOU CAN RIDE ON

reposting this for no reason in particular

seems conspicuous that programmer commentary on genAI is split between "oh yeah i use claude all the time now. the 10× programmer is real and he's me. i am a god" and "yeah my coworkers use claude all the time. they keep committing crap that doesn't work and now i spend half my time fixing it"

hey new years reminder to be so fucking normal to people who are choosing not to drink or use substances tonight or i will personally make your 2026 a living hell

happy new year’s eve 💜🌸

“Who’s going to pay for all those social services? You????” Yes. I want my tax dollars to go towards making life better for everyone. I want them to fund housing, education and healthcare instead of war, ICE and enriching the billionaire class.

I wonder how many times Kevin Perjurer has had roughly this exact exchange

*serenely watching the sunset from the porch of a picturesque farmhouse* This life — the wife life — is all I ever wanted. But it ain’t for everyone. Some folks don’t wanna be tied down. Some folks prefer solitude. Some folks are even gay fer fellas, and heck, I reckon they’re doin just fine

Little reminder as we close out 2025: If you haven't already backed up your writing and art files, do it now. Future you will thank you.

A mistake in three acts

Imbibe a powerful potion and then get thrown into a fit of giggles for hours.

No one looks nonbinary. Androgynous, maybe, but those are not synonyms. Nonbinary folks slant masc, femme, androgynous, or are fluid. You do not know looking at someone. Asking for preferred pronouns is a kindness this nonbinary femme appreciates. Thank you!

This is a super-huge issue in news writing, which almost always gets flagged as AI. News stories are formulaic by design and often have the same cadence and language.

I know times are tough, but as a Boston Terrier fan, I would LOVE for you to kick some cash to this poor sweet baby's medical bills! She's named Leeloo Dallas, for Pete's Sake! spot.fund/l8bmq56sc

I still need ~150 to cover rent; I really appreciate everyone who's given anything so far. #MutualAid
