One of the annoying things about social media is that even when it's not a Nazifest like Twitter, it's still SOCIAL media, and the anxiety part of social anxiety doesn't care that the social part is just virtual.

Today I successfully resisted posting a reply on a post made by someone I follow but who does not follow me, a reply that I thought was funny but I'm pretty sure would have just been embarrassing and awkward to everyone else, especially the person I was going to reply to.
So, you know, go me.

This is pretty much how the executive presentation at today's big meeting at work went, too.
![[Scene is a kitchen - a middle aged woman called JANET is boiling peas at the stove. A younger more colourfully dressed woman named LIZ approached her.]
JANET:
Ugh...
LIZ:
What's up?
JANET:
I am so bored of cooking peas!
LIZ:
Have you tried...
AI peas?
JANET:
AI peas?
LIZ:
They're peas with AI!
[Liz holds up to us a packet of peas labelled: Pea-i AI - Peas with AI].
LIZ:
Al-powered peas harness the potential of your peas
JANET:
What
LIZ [Now a voiceover as we cut to a whizzy technology diagram of peas all connected by meaningless dotted lines]
Why not take your peas to the next level with Al Peas' new Al tools to power your peas?
[Show a techno diagram of a pea with a label reading 'AI' pointing to a random zone in it]
LIZ:
Each pea has Al in a way we haven't quite worked out yet but it's fine
[Show Janet and Liz now in a Matrix-style world of peas]
LIZ:
With Al peas you can supercharge productivity and make AI work for your peas!
JANET:
What
LIZ:
Shut up
LIZ:
Our game-changing Pea-Al gives you the freedom to unlock the potential of the power of the future of your peas workflow
From opening the bag of peas
to boiling the peas
to eating the peas
To spending millions on adding Al to the peas and then having to work out what that even means.
JANET:
Is it really necessary to-
LIZ [Grabbing Janet by the collar]:
THE PEAS HAVE GOT AI, JANET
[Cut to an advert ending screen, with the bag of peas and the slogan:
AI PEAS: Just 'Peas' for god's sake buy the AI peas.

Well, today is off to a good start. It's another one of those quarterly big meetings where I am stuck wearing the ouchie (but cute!) shoes again in a room crammed full of people. Only this time, they didn't even have a name tag for me and I had to get a perfunctory dashed-off handwritten one.

Last I might I dreamt that I met @marthawells.com in person, and embarrassed myself trying to pronounce "Ile-Rien", because even in my dreams I'm a socially-awkward dork, apparently.

I'm watching episodes of the origjnal "Love Boat" series on streaming (don't judge me!).
I know I haven't seen it since my mom and I would watch it together when I was a kid, but it has a lot more ghosts, angels, and evil robot duplicates of the crew than I remember.

The ENTIRE FUCKING REASON Star Trek wasn't a TV series that had three seasons in the 60s then was cancelled and forgotten is because colossal numbers of women fans organized numerous Star Trek conventions and made fanzines in the 70s which convinced the rights owners to revive the franchise.

I'm telling you, they need to start adding werewolves to these things.
And, if the ratings look less than bright for Hallmark, things are downright grim on Great American Family, where they kicked off their Christmas programming to literal crickets
A WISCONSIN CHRISTMAS PIE failed to register in the ratings, which measured programming with as few as 153k live viewers

I just took an internal survey at work about AI, and I was utterly utterly honest about how I think it's useless counterproductive bullshit and don't want it as part of my job.
So, I'm probably going to get fired.

I had an idea on Tuesday for how to do the Perfect Space Marine RPG, so I wrote the Perfect Space Marine RPG.
It's both a shitpost and a dead serious game. And it's, uh... 34,000 words long?
Anyway enjoy!!!

The Hallmark Channel needs to adapt this into one of their Christmas movies. I'd be more inclined to watch them if they included more werewolves.

I found it!
I ran across this book years ago, before I really started buying eBooks, but I couldn't get it at the time and I didn't have an account anywhere to save it on a wishlist then. And then I forgot the title!
But I remembered the description, and this was it! I'm so happy!!
