HCW by day, metalhead by night. Also loves classical music, art, weights, sf/f/h, cats. Jewish (quite lapsed), left, bi. I've set up shop here, now that Twitter has turned to shit. He/him. Llevo casi tres años aprendiendo español.
I have, once again, become too comfortable with drinking too much at night to counter all the caffeine during the day.

Long term goal: stop doing that.

Short term goal: unplugging my keyboard at night before doing that. Tipsy chord is cool, but I don't like drunk chord much.

Years and years ago, my mom and extended family hated me having long hair, and worried that I'd never find work and I'd me a bad influence on children... so imagine my joy when I discovered this gentleman!

If I were a rich man,
doo dee doo doo doo doo doo dee
doo doo doo doo doo dee doo.
All day long, I'd buy my neighbors' debts,
if I were a wealthy man!
Screw the debt collectors,
doo dee doo doo doo doo doo dee
doo doo doo doo doo dee doo.
If I were most scandalously rich...
The actor Michael Sheen used all his money to start a fake debt collecting business, buy 900 people in Wales's debt, and excused it. If Musk bought ALL $194 billion in medical debt in the U.S. and excused it in the same way, he'd still be the world's riches man by hundreds of billions of dollars.

Dear clanker spambot garbagedroids,

I hate you for existing, and for flooding social media with pigslop... but I have to grudgingly give you (a tiny bit of) credit for including details like hypoK in your fic about a brave victim of DM1. The story as a whole is bullshit, but you got that right.

Dear Crave,

I loved Letterkenny, I'm sure I'll love Heated Rivalry, I'd love some of your other offerings... but your website is janky, and it seems you don't take credit cards with American billing addresses. I swear, I did try to give you money... before deciding to take up piracy. Yarrrr!

Dear internet,

Lots of you have video of the latest Jake Paul fight. Lots of you have video editing software. And lots of you have an mp3 of a certain LL Cool J song from 1991. Surely at least a few of you have all three?

In other news of yearly things I normally watch, I'm sure there'll be a new BFQOTY soon. I've loved it for years, but this year, I'm trying to decide if I give a shit.

Maybe it's their recent support for AI art.

Maybe it's Jimmy Carr's recent major gig.

Maybe it's seasonal depression.

Before Covid, I would watch people like @shadowtodd.bsky.social list the worst songs of the year and think, "yeah, I remember that song... it's trash."

Now, it's more "I'm hearing that song for the first time... it's trash."

I wonder how much it will overlap with @spectrum-pulse.ca 's list.

It's the end of the year. Lots of people are using their HSAs before they flip over... and getting health stuff done while they still have insurance.

And I work in this field.

Don't mind me, I'm a mess, and will likely be so for the rest of the year.

So, here I am, having played AITA: The Drinking Game for a few nights, and for a moment, I was considering a round of r/FoundAndExpose: The Drinking Game. A game several times more dangerous.

...nope. Hell nope.

The best time to admit you have a problem is before it becomes a REAL problem.

I'd forgotten that I have this very strange and unpleasant music on my hard drive, and I could be listening to it right now!

(The music video is also very strange and unpleasant. And only PARTLY because the end is gory as hell.)

I've been using Concatenation, by Meshuggah, as my ringtone for a while, but I'm thinking it's time for a change. The first 36 seconds of this, for instance, would be very funny...

It's been years since I've had a gremlin of my own. My last cat died years ago, and tore a hole in my heart (as all cats do when they cross the rainbow bridge).

I don't have the spoons to properly care for a new gremlin.

But. I want to. Very badly.

In the meantime...!

Every now and then, like yesterday, MTG does something decent... and then, like today, resumes her usual despicable behavior.
MTG using private pics of kids to make her point. I doubt this was done consentually.

Dear fellow redditors,

Constructive Criticism is a courtesy. Your friends and coworkers deserve it, that they might do better. If you're a leader at work, you owe it to the people you lead.

Don't waste it on clanker spambot garbagedroids, or the people who use AI to produce spam garbage.
December 17, 2025 at 11:39 AM
I've now muted a bunch of accounts on reddit. AITA and its eleventh-thousand spin-offs, mostly. Too much AI bullshit. The cute animals can stay. So can the beautiful women and beautiful men. And so can r/stupidfood.
I think I've figured out how to make reddit fun again.

What the absolute shit, bluesky?

The good news is that anyone on a lists like this is still blocked by anyone subscribing. But if you haven't already subscribed to a handful of very useful lists for blocking nazis, MAGAts, or crypto/AI assholes, you can't even see the list, let alone subscribe.
