Comment: this RHCP album reminds me of the 90s when life was simpler and things were better.

The RHCP album: a song about institutional racism, a song with a video about American militarism, a song that mentions environmental destruction, etc

What D&D player character species/ancestry should I draw? And I guess the follow up is if I went for Pathfinder instead what type of PCs would those be?

Mastodon users diss Bluesky users more than Bluesky users diss Mastodon, and I can’t speak for Threads, but Mastodon, Bluesky, and Twitter users all have a low opinion of Twitter. Which I mean makes sense; neither Masto nor Bluesky has one of the most loathsome dudes on earth presiding over making it something you actively hate.

I see it’s Cold Call o’clock in Offshore Recruiter Land.

In case you were wondering no, I can’t afford to work for under $20, no I can’t commute to Tacoma on a daily basis, no I am not available at 0600 to field calls and no, I’m not a network administrator, or whatever completely extraneous thing you’ve got going. Call me when you REALLY have jobs.

today, trying to get a nicer balance of cartoony stuff, idk.

oh shit guys I'm crying about cats again

I think almost the most hilarious thing about Lovecraft is how he became famous by NOT becoming famous. He was only kinda sorta a name as a pulp author, so when people were casting around for stuff to reprint for GIs a few years after his death, HPL's stuff was cheap, and after the war there was lots of it around. Suddenly a much broader audience was reading Lovecraft's work and going "hey actually this is pretty good."

HP Lovecraft’s TALES of TERROR! 18 spoooooopy horrors from the master of cosmic neuroticism, including

“Oh Shit Weird Smells Are They Actually Cooking an Octopus?”
“Oh Shit I’m Not Actually White”
“It Was Cold and Everything Was Built After 1850”

Storing everything from cookware to family snapshots in blue jeans at home so that when someone asks “what’s in your pants” I have a good variety in potential answers.

“Is the seafood you just bought RUSSIAN?” Check for signs like baritone choral singing. I’d say watch for fish driving really badly but that’s more of an international problem.

Consequences of antisemitism are felt by Jews, not by antisemites. And if I were okay drinking tonight, I would drink until I forgot that.

there are basically two types of people who listen to Siegfried's Death and Funeral March, Nazis or fans of "Excalibur."

gah! I didn't explain the little derro wizard dude. My man's keeping some sort of deific/fiendish fetus in a covered cage, and uncovers it to flash opponents with blazingly intense light.

My politics have shifted from despair to hatred again, but that never lasts long.

When I give money to someone’s emergency, something else is also vital and at some point I have to roll with “saying no lets me contribute to further emergencies in the future.” Now I am trying to think the mindset of wanting to help moves us closer to a (unattainable) Tikkun Olam, even when I see myself as merely trying to keep things from getting worse. And of course; if I throw $25 at something it’s big, throwing $100 is beyond possible, but that’s nothing for the folks causing the problems.
