Maybe I should just use this place as a link dump until this weird "married hikikkomori" phase I'm going through ends.

This is very good. It should have occurred to me that something interesting would have happened in cellular automata by now.
I don't understand any of this stuff but I sure enjoy watching it. And occasionally pawbing clumsily at the screen. They look so much like fish. 🐯

Breaking silence just to share something VERY cool, an ARG that's been investigated by Youtube-horror commentator (and fellow freakish catbeast) Nightmind over the last year.
Imagine Sesame Street... broke. Cosmically and tragically. And became a bit contagious.
But it's still unironically adorable. Someone involved with this project loves the *fuck* out of Jim Henson and it radiates through the whole project.
I can not recommend this whole thing highly enough. Please investigate and support it. This is my *perfect* analog horror.

Well, fuck me Mother Shipton. Looks like someone called the Trump scandals way back in 1978.
I researched both of these sources and they're completely legit.

i did a thing
There were a bunch of bright green/yellow parrots out on the power line, greeting me when I left the house to go to the corner gas station for a few bottles of Coke. My brain wants to say “conures” but I have no idea why, I have spent zero intentional time on bird identification in my life. They have a pretty distinctive “scrattt!” kind of call.
Anyway whatever they were they were pretty. And I feel like they’re a normal sonic component of a New Orleans summer, just not one I see regularly.

I've found it. This is the place I want to make my final stand against humankind. 🐯
re: TFG
(We also need to set a few traps for them to flee INTO, traps that will leave them domesticated and harmless, so they can be returned to society someday.)
TFG
is so fucked, y'all.
I just wanted to remind you, because it feels so good. 😺
I know, I know, I'm skeptical too. There could still be a fight coming. But right now, he's scared so shitless he's physically trembling and I'm gonna use that and the um, "hordes of supporters" showing up to support him as a metric.
And DeSantis, who ain't gettin' the nomination, just sold him up the river as a desperation move.
The enemy is in utter chaos and disarray. Troops are fleeing. I'm celebrating prematurely... I'm saying *go demoralize them further, dammit!*
Now is the time. Make a MAGA feel insecure today. Ask them very pointed and specific questions in front of centrists. Sow doubt and despair. Ask yourself "what would Eris do here?" Turnabout is fair play. Now, now, now. *claps like a schoolmarm*
'Cause if we don't, they'll just stick to the Next Fucking Guy.

It's so good to feel seen and protected. This feels like the sort of warm, loving artificial friend who would wear an LGBT Pride Month pin all through July 🙃

Swing and a miss, my friend. Better luck next compile.
shameless career-grubbing, AI, networking or something, possibly necromancy
So I've developed an extremely dorky new hobby, apparently: asking OpenAI geography and history questions and fact-checking the results.
(e.g., "What are the three leading theories about the Sea Peoples" actually got a pretty accurate reply. "Which US comedian is responsible for the phrase 'chicken mambo dogpatch' got a very confident, detailed, "fact"-filled wrong guess.)
I swear I came by this hobby semi-honestly. I was doing research for an @anthracite co-project that's going to be a pretty vicious anti-AI satire.
But it also dawned on me, you know, there are probably people who are looking to *hire* people to do this very thing. Or there will be soon,. And fact-checking is basically what I already do for a living. And I'm apparently pretty fucking good at it, good enough that I'm now training people in it.
Should... I contact a recruiter or something? I'm not really looking to leave my current job, but I know it won't last forever and if this is gonna be the next Mildly Evil Thing I gotta do to make a living, I should start making contacts and educational plans now.
Sigh. Gonna be a spirit conjurer. What would my sweet Catholic grandma have thought?!
comedy sketch
This whole sketch me pleasantly of when Sifl and Olly used to cut back to the hosts in the middle of a conversation...
uspol (+++?), homicidal psycho jungle cats (+++!!!)
apparently one of trump's IT guys ratted on him after he ordered him to delete a bunch of security footage and they have hard phone and camera evidence
and two sumatran tiger cubs were just born at the san diego zoo.
there's so much i could complain about, but i'm still alive, the cats are healthy AFAIK, the ex-preznit looks pretty fucked, and there are two more of my stripey little cousins in the world. the good guys are ahead. good enough.

This is a terrible idea. And yet.
