mention of religion/politics
The annual “waaah Starbucks isn’t pushing my religion because clearly 2 millennia of genocidal hegemony isn’t enough.”
I always thought the simplest Starbucks holiday cup design would be making it a Santa as shown at left.
At right is my proposed design to mollify conservatives.

For National Novel Generation Month this year, I made a digital book “physical” again by rendering every page into a game engine and then randomly perturbing it: https://github.com/lizadaly/a-physical-book #nanogenmo
"What do you mean, you've never been to Alpha Centauri? Oh for heaven's sake, mankind, it's only four light years away, you know! No, I'm sorry, but if you can't be bothered to take an interest in local affairs that's your own lookout. Energize the demolition beam.
I don't know, apathetic bloody planet, I've got no sympathy at all."
and some days I feel like a Vogon about to destroy Earth.
"There's no point in acting all surprised about it! All the planning charts and demolition orders have been on display at your local planning department in Alpha Centauri for fifty of your Earth years, so you've had plenty of time to lodge any formal complaints, and it's far too late to start making a fuss about it now."
Would it be possible for people to set up lists to auto-CW certain words, but only in their interface? So if I never want to hear about croissants, anytime someone posts a toot with that word in it on my feed it chows up as CW: french pastry, but on others' feed it's just all about that almond filling, no CW?
I realize I'm talking about this at the level of a kid playing with action figures, but I don't get why Google never broke down and bought twitter or snapchat and saved them from trying to "innovate" their way into profitability.
Google is absolutely desperate to have a relevant social network and couldn't make one on their own if their company depended on it.
One of the places I was looking at to build my cabin was well inside bear country. At the time, I didn’t think much of it, but on second thought, I may be building on stilts if I do go there

So when I found out about Smaug lizards my first reaction was "same"

saw the coyote again--now less sure that it isn't Scruffy; if it is, Scruffy's been doing better this year and is looking, well, less scruffy. but this one has black "freckles" across its face that I don't remember Scruffy having. also, Scruffy looked more like a husky-coyote hybrid; this one just looks like a scruffy coyote. maybe Scruffy2?
aaaand just now heard the crow "asshole alert" and looked out to see a coyote trotting along, hoping for handouts from the person down on the first floor who throws out bread bits twice a day. her ideal is to feed the ducks, but most of the time she feeds squirrels, crows, and coyotes... I don't think it was Scruffy; it was scruffy-looking, but not in the same way that Scruffy looks scruffy. might be a new visitor to the territory!
