new wave, "humor," mild resentment 

one of these fucking days i WILL find someone who will laugh about my new wave supergroup "Haircut Heaven Level 159"

If Steven Tyler were a fish and performed underwater his band would be called Hydrosmith.

I just had the most boomer-ass discussion problem with @zebratron2084 overc whether or not me feeling that “Let it Be” is probably my third least favorite Beatles albums is grounds for a breakup. Once we looked up the track list it was over though. There’s one halfway banger on there and the rest is just music for dentist’s waiting rooms.

me 

enh

i'm alive

overwhelmed by work and the never-ending cat drama (current plotline: we have a human squatter next door and now HE'S accidentally trapping artie up there semi-daily)

mostly hiding out on discord, kinda happy to be away from anything resembling twitter tbh, mostly just been at the edge of depression and playing a lot, lot, lot of slay the spire, nova drift, and civ 6

peg and i have been a little squabbly and stressed but we're otherwise good, fought a little the other day but then she dragged me to a Frontline Assembly/Ministry/Gary Numan concert and i watched her dance for hours and that did miracles for our stress levels i think

otherwise yeah

enh

i'm alive

now i want a whole collection of wrongly illustrated state T-shirts: the barren deserts of Seattle, the gator-infested mists of the London bayou, the neon glamour of Jackson Hole's theater district by night...

meanwhile I'm over here staring at the way queer people used to refer to themselves in the 1990s in the most charming, snarlingly unpolitik way and wondering if some of y'all would just melt like a chocolate bar left on a sunny dashboard to hear it. language is a full-contact sport and if you react with disgust to any jargon that is even mildly outre you are handing ammunition to people who wish you overt harm

Hey, is anybody else playing King of the Castle or willing to pick it up? I'd love to get a game together.

I feel less safe and secure as a modern adult now knowing that I can, at any time, buy an Optigan for only $4,000.

re: POKER FACE, "ESCAPE FROM SHIT MOUNTAIN" (S1E9) SPOILERS 

I mean, her whole banjo leitmotif is straight out of a "lost lovable miscreant dog" show from the 1970s ferchrissake... Gonna start callin' her Boomer, or Benji, or Wishbone. XD (Or Coyote Doggirl, h/t to Lisa Hanawalt...)

She's such a good scragglepuppy though. You just know that in her last canid life she had a reluctantly adopted little flock of ducklings following her around, or something...

POKER FACE, "ESCAPE FROM SHIT MOUNTAIN" (S1E9) SPOILERS 

Poor Charlie, but at least -- as far as I'm concerned -- she's 100% proven my fan theory that she is a misincarnate coyote. You just try to show me how I'm wrong.

Every now and then I run across this drawing I did of @zebratron2084 and I always feel like I have to share it.

perv gear, zeerust, black ICE(?), extremely large polynomials and yes that is a euphemism for something 

So @anthracite has new breast pumps. They are shiny and solid black and make her look rather like a cyborg. I want to dress her up in a trenchcoat and have a hot night of shadowrunning on the town together, maybe pennyskim the Orbital Bank of Zurich with her four terabit nipples.

3. worse, we have an uncanny ability to anthropomorphize anything we interact with whether or not it has intelligence in that way.

basically people are computers for working with other people and thus like how a hammer makes everything look like a nail, we make everything look like a person

and it hits me, the comparison to how rephrasing is often a good sign that people understand something but is not a good sign that computers do gets to some points that I've made several times:

1. that these relatively simple statistical models "work" says much more about how _we_ think than if the models think

2. that we don't have a non-anthropocentric model of intelligence and thus are doomed to fail to recognize intelligences we can't interact with

I don't play AAA games, friend

I play BBB games

Those are the games with bees in them

a mileage marker; cw: vague and hollow tiger grump; eminently skippable 

there is a thing that i have ardently stopped caring about just now and quite suddenly and finally

it is not a person

but it is not something that will make you happier if i tell you i really have entirely stopped giving a shit about it

there is nothing i can do about it but this

so i leave this marker in the dirt

...but it's one of those "tiger markers" if you know what i mean so you might want to step around it anyhow

this is just a faintly more satisfying solution than doing nothing at all

you know -- poopin on it

sorry folks, the rain should get it in a couple days

video game where you are a small cat in a highly stylized world with simple little cat quests

and where whenever you nap you start hunting nasties on the differently-stylized astral version of the same world

eventually you of course end up with abilities like walking through walls in the real world, staring down an astral nasty trying to manifest in matter, and tfing into a slinky sabretooth panther in the astral plane, you know, completely mundane housecat stuff
