Hey.
If you love a piece of media, save a local copy.
Maybe make a print out if possible.

music, neurological anomalies 

Heh. Yeah. This is basically the depersonalization/derealization anthem.

re: job opportunity for people w/Asian language skills 

Be warned that the above opportunity is only a dream job if, like me, there is SOMETHING WRONG WITH YOU and your idea of a good time was already spending 6-8 hours a day on Wikipedia. :D

It's a tough job. We have a 40+ page set of guidelines just for the BASIC tasks, and lots of people wash out on the training process. It is SUPER nitpicky work with a lot of ambiguity. It requires constant lateral thinking and a thick skin for (polite and fair, especially on MY watch) criticism.

But if the Full Data Nitpicking Lifestyle still sounds appealing to you, even knowing this job has broken lesser people -- but obsessive freaks like me at least love/hate it -- let's get you in touch with my boss.

job opportunity for people w/Asian language skills 

HEY. YOU.

You there with the more-than-passing familiarity with Chinese, Japanese, Thai, Korean, or Arabic!

You want a job in the fast-paced world of making sure innocent people don't drive off a cliff? You wanna work at home, for a very queer-friendly liberal European company with flex hours and good benefits?

Are you an irksome pedant whose friends REALLY wish you would apply your gift for spotting fine logical and factual distinctions to something OTHER than their favorite TV shows?

Can you locate more than 20 or 30 different countries on a map without even breaking a sweat? Or did you at least play a lot of Risk as a kid and have a faint idea where stuff is?

Better yet, do you have a "useless" liberal arts degree that you'd like to turn into a reason for your jerkass engineer friends to be ENVIOUS of you for once? 😼

Let me know. My employers are hiring for our Asian language teams.

Martian State of the Imperium Address 

Not back exactly, but I am poking my head out from under the Imperial Martian Couch and sniffing around for treats. I could be lured. 😽

I'm not well or great, exactly, but I'm fine. Cats are currently safe, Peg is under the weather but fine, and I look poised for the best financial position I've ever been in, if I can just keep the world at bay for a few months.

Miss y'all. Just haven't felt like I've had much to share. Might put more random nonsense here, if only to spare poor Anthracite 😺​

transphobia, maga bullshit (we're fine so far), very very etymologically questionable Greek 

Welp, I got a tip that Louisiana is well on the way to passing its own bathroom bill.

We're not too concerned yet. Even if this one manages to pass the inevitable court challenges, as I put it to my friend who warned me, New Orleans is basically Capetown during apartheid, or Casablanca during Vichy France. The typical citizen would pay not to have to give the faintest fuck about who's trans. Support will be negligible; resistance will be considerable.

Everybody here ALREADY hates Baton Rouge meddling with our lives, and the folks on Reddit are already murmuring "can has tax strike nao?" New Orleans frequently beats SEATTLE in LGBT support rankings, ffs. Hell, a good chunk of our economy comes from Hollywood, so we LITERALLY CAN NOT AFFORD to scare LGBT people away from here.

For as long as the French Quarter continues to have a good 3-4 LGBT flags *per block*, I think we're good and safe no matter what that fake-ass god-bothering Christofascist Jeff Landry thinks.

Molon LGBTabe, motherfucker.

How can we make it uncool to be awful again?

(I'm thinking specifically of the US, though it's sounding like the UK, Russia, and Israel could use any solutions we might come up with.)

I'm just back for a moment, to tell you about the greatest song ever recorded. 🐯

The latest post on Cracking the Cryptic's Patreon channel is a Sudoku puzzle pack designed by a puzzle constructor known as Riffclown.

When I see the name, I keep having to remind myself it's not a "No Pizza on Luna" update from @anthracite.

That horrifying moment when you look at the achievement list and reallze JUST HOW MUCH THERE IS TO UNLOCK. *scream*

Also, just curious, how long did it take the rest of you to figure out you can still score a hand with a disabled card, it just doesn't contribute its value? Probably not nearly as long as it took me. :)

Well, that was interesting. Nice to have it confirmed that the social embarrassment circuit and the self-annihiliation circuit are still wired together. (Trivial incident, nobody's fault but mine, just... hit some sensitive old buttons.)

Also nice to know that net length of self-destruction desire has gotten down to roughly 10-15 seconds, because I'm 48 years old, I KNOW you people know I'm a hot mess by now, and what's the worst that one more minor fuck-up's gonna do to me? :D

God. Getting older is AWESOME. This would have been a three-day festival of self-loathing, with special guests and disdainful rock music about me, just 10 years ago.
