If you're a radical leftist, a progressive, a liberal, or even just a plain old Democrat, I'm probably on board with your politics.
But in this political climate, that shit doesn't matter because we're not even in the ballpark.
So until the room changes a LOT, I'm focusing on other shit.

Okay, we're taking the kids to see zootopia 2, so I will finally be able to report back on whether anybody notices that the snake is naked.

If you haven't gone over here to vote for something made by a human being, I would really appreciate it if you did it.
Cuz you don't even need to make an account. Sign in with your Gmail account and then go remove the access the minute you vote. No harm done.

Alright. Two days left on this vote. We have a healthy lead on the AI slop, BUT that could change at any time. Hoping to just annihilate him. When voting ends, I'm calling on the site to change their policies and require art from ARTISTS.
We were in first place in this film award voting.
A film made purely with AI just netted over 150 votes in 12 hours.
Now it's personal.
Please. Help us kick this THING's ass fair and square. ART FOR ARTISTS.

My 2025 TTRPG stats:
Games I ran — Draw Steel, D&D 5e
Games I'm about to run — Draw Steel again.
Games I played — OG Pathfinder, D&D 5e, Vampire (whatever the new one is called)
I'm okay with that list, though I would like a few Fate one shots.

Broken clocks aren't right twice a day. they can't tell time at all because they're broken. All a broken clock can tell you is the time it died.

Are the croissants from Costco good french croissants? Absolutely not. They're soft american croissants.
But is a peanut butter and honey croissant the perfect late night snack? It absolutely is.

Yeah so if this is going to impact you, you should be looking at after Xmas sales now to replace.
I know someone is going to be like 'just install a different OS' and people who can do that, know how to do that, can work with that...have done that already I'm sure.

October 2026 is going to be a horror show.
Microsoft's extended support for Windows 10 will run out, so hundreds of millions of PCs will need to be replaced because they can't run W11.
But RAM and SSD prices are monstrous. System replacement costs may be double last year's.

No one ever asks to see your transcript and also, after your first real job, no one much cares about your degree, it's about your work experience. My second job didn't ask anything about my education; it wasn't relevant. When I went freelance, it was even less so.
I was a lousy college student in the grades department, but learned the material in my field. And no one ever asked to see my transcript.

I just walked in on my 10-year-old son in my bedroom.
He jumped up like I caught him fuckin' a neighbor boy.
What he had been doing instead is using my massage gun to give his new stuffed animal of back rub.
.... Kids are pretty weird sometimes.

The sooner bluesky gets okay with the fact that it is now a super liberal platform the better.
Look guys. I'm really sorry that you didn't get your crypto bro Paradise like you wanted but this is what you have. Deal with it or we go someplace else.
Just like with Twitter.

I’m back after a 3 day suspension for sharing a link to publicly available police reports exposing Blood Tribe nazis. They also removed the post. Bluesky evidently prioritizes the protection of literal, active nazis over community safety. Unfortunately for BT, they’re already in the sunlight now :)
