Well, it's been a year. And I've only now posted two more decks, with a third being edited. Also been some tweaks to the old postings, but very minor.
The plan for today was to go to bed at 09:00, get up at 14:30 to take care of pre-work things, and got to work at 17:00. It is now 12:50, and I could not fall asleep thanks to my sinuses deciding today was a good day to drain poorly whenever I attempt to lay down. *sob*

I was feeling kinda tired and ready to lay down for a bit (I work overnights, so laying down now is a nap, not sleep), but Game 3 of the World Series is looking like it's gonna go 18 innings and now I must not sleep.

Ugh. So tired from work last night that I don't even want to get out of my car to go to bed in my apartment. Gonna do it anyway, because it's warm in there.

I love Flavor Text Friday, and here's my contribution, from on of my favorite removal spells during WAR limited.
"Liliana whispered to whatever conciousness Oketra and Bontu had left. 'You are the gods. He is the usurper. You know what to do.'"

Had a disappointing conversation with my favourite aunt last night, where apparently using my preferred pronouns is 'crossing a red line' for her. I thought I handled the conversation well, but now I'm curled up with the family dog in tears because the person whom I thought the best of in my family-

I have nothing nice to say about the life of the manchild who was killed today, so I will opt to say only that. Thumper's mom was a real one.

I started with one among 1, 2, and 3, but I'm not 100% sure which. The first system I played at home was the Genesis, but my cousins had an Atari 2600 (which I later learned that my mother had one stashed away as well, now in my possession) and a NES hookup in their basement.
Which controller did you start with?

Strongly resisting the urge to ask a random rich puke the question "...did you drown?" a day after they deflected a pointed observation if them being a conservative coward by saying they'd cry themselves to sleep in their heated pool.

This is the best news I've heard in... quite a while. I'm only sad I haven't made a contribution that would enjoin me to file a claim.
AI advocates have warned that if every author in the class action filed a claim, it would "financially ruin" the entire industry.
Authors celebrate “historic” settlement coming soon in Anthropic class action

It's apparently @hobbesq.bolasgang.com's birthday, so I am obligated to say nice things about him today. Not to say that I wouldn't normally, ofc. Most of the time. He knows what he did.

Hey, @moderation.bsky.app, this suspension of BugsMatrix is sketch af. Banning high profile trans posters because they express distaste for one of the richest TERFs on the planet is a pretty bad look when those same trans people helped build your site up to where it is now.

Storm knocked out my power about 7 hours ago, and I'm trying to limit my doomscrolling over the next 4 hours which is the expected time for it to come back. 39% battery, and I'm about to take a nap. Fingers crossed.
