Once you start thinking of AI as a war on humanity, on human thought, on human inquiry, on human labor, on nuance and critical thinking, it slots in pretty seamlessly with the right wing ideological project, oligarchical political projects, big tech's political projects, etc

Wired is out! Cool Zone Media (and Better Offline), Kill the Computer, Tech Won’t Save Us, Trashfuture, Blood in the Machine, Citation Needed, 404 Media remain the MVPs. It’s all in the name…

I’m trying to eat mostly vegan (after reading about dairy cows, etc), and it’s mostly been easy-ish after figuring out a yogurt I liked (Forager yogurt). I would like vegans to be MORE annoying so that I can keep myself on the path, but it feels like vegans are scarcer now and less annoying

Just updating to say that I’m playing McDonald’s Monopoly a lot (thanks to Griffhorse podcast). I ended up spending $$$ though buying a guy a meal (he was going to up to everyone and asking for food), and I forgot to use my account to buy it. I could have had more Monopoly codes…

Bluesky definitely could improve, and people are weird and stupid, but I just wanna post bird pics and stuff in a morally neutral-ish place and don’t care to be tethered to any online place anymore. It’s sad and boring that I don’t like being online anymore, but that’s just what it’s gonna be

Getting slowly better…I love to calculate the time it takes to animate anything, and it’s like 10 hours for 4 seconds, and each hour makes me want to tear my hair to shreds

“Crawling in my skin” is a great line describing a person’s addiction, anxiety, fear, whatever
This is a stupid thought I got from feeling like an anxiety skin suit got pulled on me

Went to livejournal (which I deactivated a long time ago) and remembered how I used to care so much if someone followed me back or not, and now I don’t really care because I’m Denethor, and I looked into the palantir too much which depressed me

I now have a movie log where I write down the movies I watch, so I don’t write about them here anymore. I liked these movies from July-ish, though: Shifty (Adam Curtis), Eddington, Pee-wee as Himself, and I especially liked Life is Sweet and am excited/scared to watch more Mike Leigh movies

This was really good, and I recommend it. It made me feel better somehow, even if it made me feel like a semi parasocial freak. I saw a really dim light at the end of a really narrow tunnel

Slight scent, sweet. I don’t normally like a lot of flower scents because they’re often too strong for me, but this is nice. It’s light and refreshing, and I have to sniff it a lot because I keep thinking I might be imagining the smell

This is a blurry pic of a stick insect that I’ve seen out my window for a couple of weeks. I didn’t realize it was an insect until a few days ago when I noticed a leg. I thought it was dead, but then I saw it later on another stem. now I don’t know where it’s gone, but cool to have seen it

People were acknowledging that 2015 Katy Perry was maybe the pinnacle of American Empire, so it is kind of fitting that she might be dating Justin Trudeau….

most graphic design looks bad to me because in that end I just want to see something sincere, and most of the time it feels manipulative and evil
