herbes de provence arrest this man
he talks in maths he buzzes like a fridge

this is what you get
this is what you get
this is what you get
when you mess with the herbes de provence

(yes, I did sing this while cooking, why?)

I realize that "capitalism is a scam" is *almost* as a cold a take on Mastodon as "trans rights are human rights" but, capitalism is a scam, it's "I got mine fuck you" but only if you're already the people in charge, you're told hard work, intelligence and honesty pays off, but it was actually just a lottery ticket and no guarantee of winning the lottery for the Boomers, and from GenX to now it's obvious there's no lottery, the winners have already been selected.

maybe we ought to revamp some of the old Jewish jokes about the tsar for these people? About how Elon Musk eats potatoes by having underpaid Latinos use special guns to fire potatoes at his mouth through a giant wall of butter. Stuff like that.

hot take; a system in which billionaires are celebrities *for being rich* is not a healthy system.

I'm worst at what I do best
and for this gift I feel blessed
our little group has always been
I bleed
I bleed
I bleed
I bleed

okay, let's listen to All Them Witches and see if I want to break F150 windows and torch buildings any less.

aaaand I'm off Twitter after opening up at some fucking rich WASP going on about how young people need to stop asking for work life balance. Shit like that are incapable of understanding anything short of violence and since I can't actually deliver what he would understand, the best thing I can do is get clear of threats to my sanity.

woooo apparently someone set off my angry Queer AND angry Jewish rant

we're gonna have a software update tonight!
TONIGHT!
we've got nowhere better to go
than stay here and have our phones update real slow

The Free Latrans Flag, split one third gray for cities, one third green for forests, one third red brown for desert, and bearing the emblem of a crossed burrito and beer bottle, which represents burritos and beer bottles.

If there’s a good way to really piss me off it’s if you’re someone in a position of authority who doesn’t adequately/accurately/at all explain what you’ve decided I need to do, and then you’re RIGHT THERE when I get it wrong. A lot of why I think I’m incredibly stupid is rooted in this exact experience.

ideation kind of 

Definitely another day where if you could simply stop existing without having to DO anything to get there, I would not be around this evening.

I need to remember; at some point I’m going to quit on my boss, leave my current landlords and my parents will be dead. Then I won’t be in contact with them and the urge to tell any and all of them to get fucked will fade because I will have gotten what I wanted more.

now I'm really liking the idea of going to Byen Bakeri beforehand, and sneaking dammsugare and black coffee into the theater to watch "The Northman" with appropriate refreshments

tired: memorizing lines to Monty Python and the Holy Grail

wired: remembering the fake Swedish credits verbatim

inspired: translating the fake Swedish credits into Swedish, which you're trying to learn for completely other reasons

followed up by "We Really Like American Music from the 50s" and "The Transience of Rava Idli"

Show thread

ah yes, The Beatle's "This is a Huge Red Flag Not to Date Me Ever Really" from their 1965 "Incredibly Catchy But Holy Crap the Misogyny" album.

Stuff hit hard for any number of reasons, enough that I’m getting a batch of self loathing and a little ideation. Plan is to get doughnuts and coffee and read some in a park until I get too cold.

Like the man said, anger’s a hot coal you burn yourself with when you pick it up to throw it at your enemies, but I really REALLY want to throw the coal instead of dropping it again and again for the rest of my life.
