A good visit with my parents is still as fun as a four hour documentary about Stalingrad. A bad visit is about as much fun as actual Stalingrad. This isn’t a good visit, and running into blatant antisemitism on Instagram doesn’t make me less grumpy. Gonna need a half edible after this.

help i am waiting on chinese dinner with purported brooklynites who eat like they’re white midwesterners

please send pickled mustard greens or scallion pancakes or ANYTHING

It’s actually a misunderstanding based on the state’s abbreviation. “Women want Maine, fish fear Maine.”

tubers and forbears imply there were threebers at some point

it all changed the day Goldilocks attacked

Fucking genocidal warmongers.

It’s being a day. Gonna do this a few more hours, head home and send a third stage Guild Navigator to planet Caitain, if you know what I mean.

"Instead of making us nervous, an audience may motivate us to do better"

did an audience write this

please note you can sing "we're loud we're proud we're here" to the "Klingon Battle" theme by Jerry Goldsmith #qapla

following up "The Gag Factory" from Who Framed Roger Rabbit with "You Have the Power" from Dark City

this one is different. This human can TOON.

* psionic energy crackles from Eddie Valiant's forehead as cream pies fly randomly to hit The Strangers in the face*

spending all of Annie Lennox's video for "Walking on Broken Glass" cheering things like QUICK SPEND A BLOOD POINT AND USE YOUR 3 DOTS IN DOMINATE or DON'T COMMIT DIABLERIE RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE PRINCE

... awww see she threw a hissy fit strong enough to win back the John Malkovich character and she didn't even need to commit diablerie right in front of the Prince!

I appreciate that people are happy to see new furry art, and I understand that they might not see why AI art is a problem, but frankly showing off AI furry art to other furries is really poor taste and I wish people would stop doing that. I'm too cranky to try to come up with a funny way to say it.

okay now that I no longer want to scream incoherent rage in peoples' faces while shaking them by the shoulders, I feel weepy and want a cigarette. Maybe I should finally take that catnap I've wanted for 8 hours now.

stupid, pointless resentment based in how my ethnicity/marginalized identity will never officially be one of the good ones. Pretty academic considering the more important problem is "well are other people trying to kill us right now?" That's the way it goes, I guess.

okay so the intense squeaking noises suggested my upstairs neighbors were in bed fucking, except after 30 seconds that turned into naw, they're possibly practicing aikido, then for about 2 solid minutes the unmistakable sound of someone playing with a doorstop. Now it's just ordinary boring stomping like any neighbors might make.

@kurgarru Hey, I don't suppose you're stateside again, by any chance? A local acquaintance has been making noises about wanting to hire a proficient carpenter for a project.

then I realized you could actually mash up Dragula and Seven Nation Army which means you can mash up Dragula and Sweet Dreams are Made of These

I'm going to Uppsala
DIG through the ditches and BURN through the witches
far from this opera forevermore
I SLAM in the back of my DRAGULAAAA

Managed to make myself #draw despite the terrible feelings.

Okay, I basically hit the same stuff as Sunday. Today it took me somewhere under 2 hours to step things back from how I'm this terrible THING to "definitely hitting big buttons," so I feel good about that progress. I have a beer and shitty faux Chinese food from Safeway and am trying to chill out.

The news finally came down my contract’s ending. Much as my indoctrination tells me this proves I’m a failure, I was brought on for a project that never came through and was useful enough to stay on 7 weeks beyond my original contract. I’ll miss the money and being between jobs is scary.

"the public is rapidly turning against AI" well maybe that's because its only benefits are

1) cutting costs on actual employees
2) being told it's the way of the future

Really. You don't sell someone the haft of a hammer, especially one which apparently requires a huge expenditure of lumber, and tell them it's a miraculous multitool that will replace most carpenters.
