Do you ever wonder whether Captain Crunch has crunch berries because appropriately Royal Navy marshmallow shapes would be rum, sodomy and the lash? Come to think of it does a daily dram of Cap’n Crunch prevent scurvy?

I’ll be out of here soon enough and then I can eat enough weed to climb the world tree and hang out with Ratatoskr listening to Loren Maazel’s Ring Ohne Worte or something.

Oh yeah it’s PÖWERTOÄD, my new Fiend Foliocore/Pre Slotta Base group!

in which I finally learn the most important phrase ever (wo ai ni) followed by picking up ai, xihuan, and he, all which would have been a little more useful than most words for furniture or transportation (though "chufang" is an INCREDIBLY vital word to know along with "fanguan")

Okay, I have now completed today's job hunt, talked to a recruiter, and that gives me a couple of hours to chill out from the resulting routine suicidal ideation and file UI for the week, before I have to do Seder with my parents.

another thing about job hunting this time with looking for accounting jobs more of a possibility is how many want a CPA.

This is sort of like saying you'd like to see a residency for anyone from the receptionist to the senior most doctors at a medical office, and incidentally, it's about the payrate *I* am looking for, and possibly part-time.

"[company] is the premier creditors' rights company in the country"

yeah, let's not apply for that job. Go jam something huge and unlubricated in each of your orfices, dudes, and yes I'm including ear holes, nostrils and your pupik.

I mute people because they post a lot and I simply can't handle the volume.

I unfollow people because they keep talking about stuff that I just don't have the emotional resource to deal with.

I block people because I see them as actively hostile and I don't want to offer anything they can potentially use against me.

I've blocked way more people on Bluesky than I've ever unfollowed or muted. I'm not sure I like what that says about me.

This is just WEIRD. As far as I know, none of the below individuals are related to each other. Human faces with eye contact.

today, listening to Tom Waits, the Hellboy soundtrack, and Cab Calloway.

"Why, you can get a phonograph record of Minnie the Moocher for 75 cents! For 1.25 you can get Minnie!"

oh you may think that it's deluxe
to ride the elevator filled with bugs
but don't
don't
Don't
DON'T
Don't go in the basement! uh-uh!

TOM WAITS: what’s he building in there? What the hell is he building in there?

ME: what I will do tonight can never be undone! I will open a portal and awaken the Ogdru Jahad, the Seven Gods of Chaos!

Time for this joke again;

It’s my favorite Tom Waits track, “Üüuuu”! It’s nothing but Tom singing “Üüuuu!” for three minutes straight!

unfortunately the jazz and blues station - one of the awesomest things about living here - doubles as a news station, and I listen to jazz and blues specifically to NOT hate humanity

the good news;

this sweet and sour pork turned out pretty darn good

the bad news;

1) I now have lots of sweet and sour pork leftovers in the house during Pesach, which is heterodox even by my standards

2) I should have dumped hot chili oil in this

I am angry and hate very deeply, and much as I wish I could jettison this, things are additive. That’s usually a good thing; I can be compassionate, gentle, joyful, sentimental. But it still means I’m angry and hate filled sometimes, and those aren’t comfortable feelings even without the association some officially good person will punish me (justifiably if disproportionately) for it.

shouting, not directed at anyone here 

I DO NOT HAVE THE SPOONS FOR YOUR HYPERFIXATION RIGHT NOW!

Something I think is cool; you can figure out a little about someone's original language from their accent.

So if West Indians have accents similar to people from not just Africa but completely different parts of the continent, you get an idea of how Niger-Congo group languages sound and also how HUGE a group that is.

But AAVE doesn't sound like West Indian/African accents. Which makes me wonder if AAVE actually reflects whatever not-English-not-southern accents Americans had before the 1800s.
