NE Ohio: an artist's conception

I don't think this is *actually* a productive notion, but lord knows it soothes my weary soul. And the idea of shamelessly putting them through exactly the same kind of gaslighting, demonization, and cheap sophistry they've put us through... it really panders to some cruel and thoroughly exhausted part of me.

We've got a factoid. We've got a motive. We've got no reason for mercy anymore. I'm SO TEMPTED to just run with it and have a little fun.

So it looks like they're blaming "human involvement" for the latest round of California wildfires. And don't I remember the _last_ guy caught up in this being a right-wing conspiracy theorist?

I don't seriously advocate this, but... hell, wanna just take after the modern GOP, create our own reality, and pass it around as a "known fact" that the far-right set all the California fires in an attempt to economically sabotage a liberal part of the country?

I have eaten 22 pieces of Italian nougat today. Eight of them were coated in lemon white chocolate.

So where's *my* op-ed in the Times, huh?!

I feel I have been completely vindicated in my November '16 prediction that Trump would be the presidential equivalent of "Snakes On A Plane"-- funny (to some) on paper, tedious and intelligence-offending (to all) in practice.

@mmsword It is done, my child. Though I think I might have accidentally made you a Tibetan lama in the process, hope that's ok.

My Mom made Italian wedding soup that's so good, I think I gained temporary Papal powers just by ingesting it.

I think I'm just gonna let them pass quietly. That is NOT a burden anybody wants these days. >_>;;

@mawr If you ever want to become a Reddit karma baroness, you've got all you'll ever need right there...

In a good mood except for being rather bored, which makes me wonder if somehow I didn't end up in the wrong Ohio. They sure LOOK like my parents... I haven't checked for button eyes yet.

Also, my mom only cooked four things in anticipation of my arrival. That worries me too.

This jigsaw puzzle looks like pure fucking evil.

I'm so glad the response to the anonymous high-level "resistor's" NYT op-ed seems to be basically "Fuck you, coward, you don't get to have your cake and eat it too."

Whoever the hell it is-- my guess is Pence and/or one of his speechwriters, look up the "lodestar" theory-- I hope he hangs with the rest of them. Nobody gets to wriggle out of this by pretending to be Secret Friend To Democracy at the last minute.

@anthracite Awwwwww! I didn't even know zebras could read! <3

Many thanks to @Leucrotta for this ocelot footage. Well, I have my style goals for the next year.

@anthracite, you'd be okay with being randomly pounced and mauled in this fashion, right? 'Cause I'm getting a lot of good tips from this little dude.

So, in the 90s tabletop RPG "Torg," there was an alternate universe mentioned in passing, named Zone Dubbed Dol.

All the other worlds in Torg were measured by numbered ratings from 0 to 30, in Social, Tech, Magic, and Spirit. Zone Dubbed Dol, as the result of a reality-weapon accident, had a zero in all four categories.

In totally unrelated news, I'll be spending the next week in Northeast Ohio. Please send all the possibility energy you can spare.🙄​

@mawr That's an awful feeling. Rik and I got that kind of shit from a mere coworker once, one I didn't even _like_, and it stung for days. I can just imagine how much more this must hurt. *hug*

If all the poor bastard sees is a husk, well... I hope someday they have the sense to look up and see the butterfly that came out of it. (And how fucked up is it that they had to outright dehumanize you/them like that?! Yikes, yikes, yikes.)

@mawr I haven't really played any Splatoon, but I keep hearing how queer friendly it's gotten and how much it's turned out to be a Nice Thing we didn't expect to have. ^____^

Man, I am in a weird, tender state of mind today.

I'm in a good enough mood, just been getting all sentimental and nostalgic at the drop of a hat lately.

Part of it's just that damned Joanna Newson/Gumball earworm, which has gotten to the point of being a genuinely frustrating problem.

Part of it's heading home to Ohio for a week with my parents, knowing that they're not getting any younger. I've been thinking about loss, a lot, this year.

Part of it's just missing some people bad.

@Aradia I really need to sit down and watch Rutland Weekend Television again sometime. :D
