There is a big alien cat
Whose misanthropy's making her fat
Two TERFs and three Keks
And some Trumpian wrecks
In her belly are currently at

(True story! =^___^= )

Some kid posted a meme to Reddit with a (fake, yet!) Bruce Lee quote about the Buddhistic value of logic and emotional detachment.

His username had "kek" in it, and I smelled neckbeard, so I read his comment history, and found some *really* virulent racism.

So I ate him. And I felt like a bad Buddhist for a while... but I've accepted that I'm really just fulfilling the lead role in that "Tiger and the Strawberry" koan.

Hope he enjoyed his strawberry. 🐯​🍓​❤️​

"And that was the thing about it, it's not as if a cousin had promised something and taken it away. It was like nobody could share my so-called dreams, which really meant none of it was happening, and that reach around midnight left her with just about that, nothing. There's not anything particular about it either, and I think the whole thing gets vaguer every second, but I am too and there's nothing wrong with that."

HUGGBEES!

Go ahead. Try it. HUGGBEES!

Today I exercised twice, only ate ~1½ meals total, passed up several opportunities for messy dessert, and am about to finish my workweek a day early.

What the hell kind of freak am I becoming?

This is the original intro to the MLP Movie. It got canned.

Step 1: Find a Hasbro executive.
Step 2: Kill them.
Step 3: Find another.
Step 4: Beat them with the one from Step 1.
Step 5: Repeat until they stop ruining everything they touch.

What a complete fucking waste of someone's talent and effort, by some fucknugget who's probably never pushed a pixel in their life.

Oh, Indonesia. Gods bless you and your blithe indifference to Western intellectual property. ❤️​

Your odds of still being alive in twelve hours are comparatively high.

Hmmm. Sorry. I'm not good at these.

This is why I love Tim Heidecker and Gregg Turkington's On Cinema, especially the early episodes before they got into all the soap opera stuff. They set out to make a film podcast that was as vacuous and obvious as the "real" ones, and... well, that's an unachievably high standard, but they *almost* hit it.

I know there are good Youtube commentators who can do more than sputter "LOL! WTF! I DON'T EVEN!" but damned if my old ass knows how to find 'em. Any recommendations?

You know that one episode of MST3K where Joel flips out and dares Frank and Dr. Forrester to riff a movie, and it's TERRIBLE? Everything they say is just kind of vague "Haha! They sure are in a... wacky situation. You could sure say something there!"

Every single review or reaction video I've ever seen on Youtube has sounded like that to me. No insight, no thesis, no analysis, just some 19-year-old kid giving us full real-time access to his hindbrain.

On the other hand, I do get to spend the entire morning arguing with people about the precise administrative status of Berlin.

I'm not even being ironic. Arguing about Berlin, specifically, is one of my favorite job activities. My coworkers have nearly come to (very polite rhetorical) blows over this topic several times. It's like a really, really cordial and pedantic bar brawl.

Peggy mentioned Festivus. I think instead of Thanksgiving or "affiliated holidays," I'm gonna celebrate that early this year. I'm already tabulating my list of grievances. ;p

The point of all this is... gosh, this morning's been good at motivating me. :) Our work VPN is failing. Nobody's gotten back to me about the OTHER account I was accidentally locked out of. Some Reddit idiot tried to brush off right-wing responsibility for violence by calling left and right "fictional constructs" and it became necessary to devour him. And I just... MAN, IT'S SUCH A GREAT MORNING. I FEEL SO ALIVE. ALL PROBLEMS CAN, SHOULD, AND WILL BE EATEN. 🐯​🐯​🐯​🐯​🐯​

So Peg woke up feeling a little down and overwhelmed this morning, and we were talking about what gets *me* motivated.

And I admitted that, some mornings, it's really just... anger. Well-channeled anger. I'm getting better and better at that.

But sometimes there's just this point where the pile of kipple heaped onto me is so big, all I can do is Hulk Out and go RAWR and throw it all off me at once, in a flurry of rage-fueled but actually productive activity...

(Though a simple "I'm so sorry this all happened this way, Kin" would not be taken badly.)

(Yes, the above is an oblique request not to talk to me about Bandaza. Also, please cw anything pertaining to it. I request as much emotional distance from the entire event as you can provide. I have plenty of feeling surrounding the whole thing, and I suspect discussing them wouldn't make anybody any happier. If you're in town for it and want to hang out separately, feel free to ping me, but I will probably be hiding out somewhere on the actual day.​)

“Thanksgiving’s always been a little bit bewildering to me because it’s not a religious holiday. When your family gets together, there are a few things that you do, but most of the time it’s about food preparation.” -- Joel Hodgson

No plans for Thanksgiving, nor adjacent holidays. I'm basically comfortable with this. I eat enough during the rest of the year. Whatever the rest of you do, have fun, and if it's local... don't feel any particular need to tell me about it.
