I think tonight is a good night to get really stoned and watch Bad Boys 3. I'm worried because Michael Bay sometimes is... problematic or juvenile in a way that has been bugging me more so now than when I was younger.
But on the other hand, my right shoulder is starting to click noticeably during certain activities, so i should probably give it a rest.
Rise of Skywalker final thoughts
I was stoned last night, watched Episode 9 on Bluray. And it was the same as I remembered it being when it was released last year. Uneven pacing, tone whiplash, insufficient time spent on really emotional events (JJA did 3P0 wrong on so many levels)
But even with all that, I still get drawn in, seated comfortably in the actual /story/, the in-universe events being portrayed on screen. And I'm glad that even with all the new lenses and commentary and analysis about Star Wars I've consumed since I watched Episode 4 when I was...4? 6? (very early in my uptime), I'm glad i can still see and appreciate the magic that is doing its best to shine through layers of corporate committee control, decades of merchandising, and the stigma of an (at times!) over-possessive fanbase that struggles with nostalgia, sexism, and racism.
This is not the first time I've been entertained by something with really bad execution. And Force willing, I hope something better will show up after about 20 years to give the world a chance to process and be ready for the next thing.
CW: Whining to get it out of my head
I am tired.
I am scared.
All I want to do is cry sometimes.
My job feels pointless.
My emotions are all out of whack.
My body is failing.
The Earth is on fire.
The world is sick.
The planet where I keep all my stuff is being ruled by a small group of people that hurt me with their indifference to my existence, or actively wish and work for harm and death against myself, and even worse, the people I care about.
I feel small and powerless.
Sometimes hopelessness feels like it will get the better of me and make me do something horrible.

A single player 3X game that zoomed from Cities Skylines to Stellaris. Explore the resources, build trade networks to support the cities that you build on your colonies.
Get to see the anomalies that you find in the galaxy actually effect your citizens.
Have cities that will effect your space empire be more than just stats. If you wanna run your empire, actually run it.
Also, there will be no way to win through aggressive actions. Negotiate fair deals with your fellow galactic citizens and watch civilization prosper.
Oh, and also, no Corporations, only buisnesses that are owned wholly and equally by the employees.
The task is to efficiently lay out your cities to take advantage of the resources on-world, and all the resources off-word too.
CW: Stoned husky thoughts. A thing that I miss from early internet. (Thinking about past experiences, changes in available technologies)
I realize that this is gonna sound pretty "Back in my day", cause it is. Figured I'd be up front about it. But it's kind of like a surprising maybe good way?
I was in a discord chat, An active person said they were signing off. I figured the people who replied were either part of the preceding converstaion, or knew the person from previous interactions. I said nini like a friendly person. But then I realized that I missed the little message that let me knew someone was done with the space for the day.
It was a nice little tag for me to help me keep track of what shared things i could interact with other people about. And it was like a friend came over to visit when a name I remembered "signed back in"
@starkatt They actually do, but you have to knock them down so they can get back up again first.
Huskybot Dream Theater CW: Dream transphobia
I have just transferred to a new team within the River Tribe, and publicly transitioned. Work knows me by my True-er name. It's my first day with my new team.
I am met in the lobby by a very energetic NB person, who tells me she prefers she/her pronouns, and she's here to start her first day with her manager, who is me.
I know I don't get any direct reports and take her up to see my manager before my first standup with the new team. We get her sorted out. Turns out she's here for an interview, not a first day, but I do like her enthusiastic power move. I'm not her first interview loop of the day, and I redirect her upstairs to her conference room.
Then the stand up happens. The rest of my manager's team is there, chatting. I realize I don't have a pencil or a notebook. As I get up, one of the team addresses me. "You must be the panty pervert," she says out loud. I don't have a response, cause I'm working on getting a notebook and a pencil. The pencil cup bites me when I go to grab one. Turns out it has a spider living amongst the pencils, because no one has touched it in months.
I get back to the briefing table and say in response, "You must be the transphobe."
The whole table goes "Oooooooooh!" like I just told a risky joke on my comedy special. Her coworker says to here something along the lines of "I bet you didn't mean to say that out loud"
And my response was "no, yeah. that mic was totally on."
And then I woke up.
*beep* Raow! Are there new friends to find here?
