Everybody on Sesame Street is always talkin' about love. Yuck. But now it's time for me to tell you what Oscar the Grouch loves, the thing Grouches love best of all. A world without YOU. A world without rules and controls, without borders or boundaries. A world where anything is possible. Where we go from there is a choice I leave to you.

great, my mom's mystery foot/leg thing is not getting any more explained or fixed, the offices promptly lost any MRIs.

I agreed to take stuff from a local place up to them on Sunday which I'm kinda dreading. For New Yorkers my folks' taste in Chinese food is really conservative, but fortunately there's nothing Chiang's makes which isn't at least really good.

I have here a sneaker that's battered and worn
the sole is all busted the laces are torn
but I wouldn't trade it for a big stack of porn!
I love it because it's trash!

this joke again, lyrics, all caps 

Dylan: And he hands you a dime! And he asks you with a grin, are you having a good time?
me: yeah, sure, whatever. Fuck off, rich man.

RAtM: THEN HE FINES YOU EVERY TIME YOU SLAM THE DOOR! UNNNGH, SHIT!
me: YEAH! FUCK ALL LANDLORDS!

political/ethnic rant, angry about the usual shit 

thing about left vs right differences is that I worry other leftists will dismiss Jewish experience, history and identity, and tell me I'm a white male who's to blame for all this bullshit.

By comparison I worry that rightwingers will continue attacking and destroying my country, my fellow citizens, and my planet, potentially straight up kill me or other folks I know, and through all this time I'll be obliged to pay increasing amounts of tax money for their officials and policies while being obliged to be polite to the fuckers.

There's an ever so slight several magnitudes of difference here.

some days you just need to put on "Immigrant Song," flex your arms back and bellow

FOUL SPAWN OF JORMANGUNDR
I GRANT THEE NAUGHT BUT THE EDGE OF MINE AXE

Today has just DRAGGED, I got 20 minutes of lunch break and I’m just waiting for a few last details before I can get out of here.

I really think people do the whole HARD HONEST LABOR schtick to convince themselves feeling this crummy is worthwhile.

I just want to be a pretty fox or jackal girl on a leash being pet and praised for having an unusually large *record scratch* I mean my day job seriously pushed my buttons and I want to ditch work and take a nap.

see it’s funny because you can’t be sure which of these is true.

D&D isn’t Eurocentric! why, you can play a bearded short Scot, a willowy Irish NB, a short kleptomaniac from Yorkshire, or the default, an American midwesterner, or… I guess gnomes are Dutch or something.

I saw the best minds of my generation
lying on a blanket next to an old toaster oven,
some guy was selling it. I had to buy it off him.

quick story; after graduating, I lived with college friends and worked two what were technically part time jobs. In my off time I'd hang out on the couch and watch TV with my roommate and our favorite shows were "Beavis and Butthead" and "Yan Can Cook." The most unlikely thing about this very stoner combination is, this was years before I ever tried pot.

Food photo; the aforementioned Beijing style eggplant.

"Cro-asian Cooking" - Chinese food through the filter of what tastes good to a Slavic descent cook. This has nothing to do with my making "Beijing Style Eggplant" as dinner.

The problem with “what would you do with Elon Musk’s money?” is that assumes I’d stay me, rather than however I might act if my net worth were over half the GDP of Germany. For all I know ultra-super-über-rich-me WOULD be blind to “I could end homelessness or hunger etc,” y’know? My bias here is I don’t think anyone should have that much money, that it’s not healthy for anyone. It’s basically unaccountable, unquestionable power; I wouldn’t trust Albert Einstein with it.

fell on this year, so have a werehyena fighting a giant (they'rea mixed sort of hyena). Also I was listening to L7 again.

further The Northman discussion/spoilers 

Also, if you want your audience to feel anything for the hero’s search for vengeance, maybe the best way to introduce him is NOT actually “assisting in murdering children as part of a slave raid on a village which never did anything to the vikingr aside from being around.”

I have the opportunity to develop a digital lit curriculum for people being released from incarceration, some of whom have done over 20 years in prison.

This has the potential to have huge positive impacts on their lives; they need to know how to attach a resumé to an email, and how to avoid scammers, among many many other basic skills we all take for granted.

Please if you have any input I would appreciate it because I am not omnipotent and can't think of everything.

Please boost this!

Skeleton Battler! His name is spoken with hushed reverence throughout the land, for he never fights mummies or zombies, any of the non-corporeal undead. Only skeletons.

This issue; can our hero survive UGLUK, the OCTOPUS that YET MOVES?
