"No, no, Puff was just the stage name he took when he auditioned with Murakami Wolf Swensen. His real name was Stanislav Pugf-Kovács."
Fair warning: when a Martian tiger tells you Mars is full of love, this is basically what we mean.

OH THANK FUCKING GOD LAETITIA SADIER OF STEREOLAB HAS NOT GONE RIGHT WING.
She apparently got roasted for having positive things to say about Jordan Peterson recently, and I was really afraid we'd lost her. But her website has a pretty clear denunciation, focusing on his hatred of neo-Marxists and "SJWs."
I haven't read much about it, yet, but I'm guessing she got to his whitewashed self-helpey stuff first, fell for the trap and didn't see the big deal. I can forgive that.

Holy shit, this sounds appealing. And we just got a little rocket blender, too...

Grr. Something triggered my chronic bronchitis something fierce on the way home from Ohio. I can at least breathe again, but (perhaps totally separately) my immune system is sorely pissed at me and I'm stuck in that "am I or aren't I getting sick, already?!" stage.
Might be a bit useless for a couple of days-- though historically, these turn out to be total false alarms about 70% of the time.
I fucking hate my body.
one parting shot before bed, in reply to @troodon's kind poetry citation:
the intro quote is pretty much word for word what it's like to be me :)

First flight home to Seattle leaves in about an hour and a half. You know the drill: if something bad happens, love you all, had a hell of an interesting ride. Thanks for making my time on this shitty planet weirder and happier.
Much more likely, I'll be curled up with Peg in twelve hours, stoned out of my mind and stuffed with raw fish. =^____^=

"I mean, no offense. I trust you, but do I *trust* trust you? Like to *that* extent?"
" ... the *heck*?"
"Ohhhhhh ... oh, you mean one *additional* thought. Not one *exclusive* thought. Well, that's different. Please, then, go ahead."

media fandom; searing hot take
(the venture bros nerds are on reddit debating whether their world's David Bowie, Klaus Nomi, Iggy Pop, and Freddy Merc... er, I mean, "Mr. Fahrenheit" are the "real" ones, and their semantic naivete is making my stripes contract with frustration -_____- )
media fandom; searing hot take
overly literal-minded fan theories are a goddamn disease and the only cure is to bring back decent fucking humanities education, preferably with plenty of (post-)modern literature full of unreliable narrators-- so they can learn that causality in fictional worlds is nothing but an artful sleight of hand, and there's absolutely nothing "impossible" or "inconsistent" or (god help me) "relativist cultural marxist SJW" about that whatsoever. >___<
