Empress of Mars: Undisputed @zebratron2084@awoo.space

@kelseyhusky 0.75 Trumps is a *terrifying* amount of evasion. :O I feel kinda privileged now, honestly: my employers at HERE, Inc. have been so... German about everything. It's almost funny how much the Simpsons stereotype from that one episode where the Germans take over has turned out to be true. (Except we haven't gotten any chocolate. :( ) They've been incredibly forthright with us all -- we did get our pay cut, but they really bent over backwards to make sure the money came from ANYWHERE except firings and rank-and-file salaries. I can understand the poor bastard is probably under a lot of pressure to answer without actually answering... but holy crap, that's disrespectful of them. -__- I wish y'all luck getting better out of them!

@kelseyhusky Oh god, it sounds like some sort of 1970s satire. Like something Paddy Chayefsky or Billy Wilder would direct. I'm so sorry you have to deal with this shit.

@Phorm The ballhoodings will continue until morale improves.

@kelseyhusky That was what Kristy always said about them! The culture always sounded so libertarian and "find your own way through"... yet so authoritarian and "no, we didn't mean THAT way" that it was mindblowing that anyone ever finished anything at all. The overall impression that I got was that it had "principles" no more than a slime mold had principles; it just had stimuli and responses, because there was no central nervous system.

@Leucrotta Actually this is gonna break your heart but I am probably like a three-block walk away from mahmoul. XD The local falafel and shawarma joint has a little convenience store attached to it with four shelves of Middle Eastern cookie-like-objects...

So I had some really good local tasso (basically spicy Cajun ham) that was about to expire, so I chopped it up really fine and ended up making a stir fry out of it. And it was surprisingly great. It's already a bit sugary and fatty, so it caramelized and crisped up beautifully.

And I thought, you know, I've got some decent Shaoxing wine and I can probably get a hold of some Sichuan peppercorns. I think next time I'm gonna go full Cajun-Chinese, throw in some peanuts, ginger, and water chestnuts, and make Kung Pao Tasso.

@Leucrotta Oh, I remember! They've always seemed like a very *coyote* sort of band to me. All made of out of the best scavenged musical bits and scraps.

I still want to make a power electronics* album that sounds exactly like Whitehouse or Genocide Organ, all hideous grinding industrial noise... but for the lyrics we hire Andrea Libman to do Fluttershy saying things like "Hi! You look lovely today! Thank you ever so much for dropping by, I hope you're having a nice morning! Would you like to say hello to my animal friends? Let's have some herbal tea and then go for a walk in the meadow! It's really sunny out today!"

@Leucrotta And Egyptian cartoons?

Started off the day by schooling a "HURR ITS JUST SCIENCE" transphobe on the genetic complexities of sexual development, then debunked a fake Obama birth certificate by looking up the date of Kenya's independence and plotting a map route from Obama's family village to Mombasa.

It's a good day so far. I love dropping into these people's mentions and fucking up their mornings. They'll never accept that they've been proven wrong, but watching them struggle to fire synapes as they rationalize it away is so entertaining. ^__^

HOW THE HELL can this little crimebear be anything but adorable

@kelseyhusky It is kinda terribawesome, isn't it...

What can I say, Goliath reminds me of my buddy Megaweapon.

@JulieSqveakaroo (Except of course it wouldn't be set in Brazil, which of course, is where Childrens Hospital takes place, as you can tell from all the Brazilian things happening...</injoke>)

@JulieSqveakaroo Oh god, it's airborne Chidrens Hospital. :O I would watch the crap out of this, roo...

Gods save me, friends, I am so hard up for media to play in the background to soothe my ADD-riddled brain while I work, I am sitting here torrenting Knight Rider.

@001zlnv I'd murder for some fries with curry sauce right now, to be honest. Or some poutine. Or a really *good* cheddar-beer sauce.

@JulieSqveakaroo @Phorm You mean gwaqumoli?

I made the mistake of reading the "sauces" category on Wikipedia and now all I want is a couple of pounds of french fries and tiny ruffled paper cups full of Terrible Ideas to dip them in.
