Heavy thoughts today about how we don’t talk about schools/colleges that cram two year diplomas into one year - and then boast about how intense their program is - are really saying if you need to work to afford to eat during your studies here, you don’t deserve to study in this field.

I swear older garbage trucks have the squeakiest ‘sound personality’ when bouncing over parking lot speed bumps. One part “Oi! My hip!” One part “WHEEEE! Again!”

Discovered this afternoon, while tidying up for Renegades, that at some point I aquired a sparrow shaped like a VW bus (Surfer’s Friend). I cannot tell you how stupidly giggly this made me. When did I get it? Why have I never noticed it before? Who cares! BEWARE MY MIGHTY COMBI RIDING TITAN!

Alt: a blurred image of a road with leaves on the ground and trees in the background. A pale green VW bus with a white top and a roof rack comes speeding down the road, and drifts effortlessly around a corner towards the camera.

Ever hear a teeny tiny water sound and go, “Ooooh, that’s nice!”?
Great job, audio team behind the pink arm cast BCAA ad! The teeny tiny water lap sounds from the floaty are sweeeeeeeet! (I would have linked to it, but the latest health insurance-related ads aren’t on the BCAA YT channel. 😅)

I rarely post anything political, but Christy Clarke smirking as she’s bashing the NDP, saying the insistence on a tanker ban along our coasts is purely ‘performative’, gives such smarmy energy. She gives the impression of someone still embittered by her party being voted out in 2017.

I have discovered that after I’ve enjoyed 3/4 of a Yellow Dog High 5 hazy IPA…that I want to buy almost any plugin that crosses my insta feed.
This is very dangerous on Black Friday weekend.

When I’m recommending an instant decaf to someone, I always suggest Taster’s Choice. Not only because I find it genuinely yummy, but it also comes in a glass bottle that is visually appealing. Especially to chaotic collector gremlin types who never have enough ‘nice’ bottles for their treasures.

Good morning Bluesky! Wondering today if getting an ellipses tattoo would be the ultimate writer ‘you can’t take this from me’ middle finger to genAi and it’s simps, or if you’d just confuse the hell out of anyone who knows Morse code.

As someone who works in the tech industry--absolutely.
They are testing the waters. These are top-down orders. The ONLY way to stop it is a visceral negative reaction. Write articles. Post your rage. Email. Post. @. All those things.

Let me give some insight on this, as a producer in the dub industry who worked with major streamers, who's witnessed first-hand where this push for AI is coming from.
tl;dr: Only CEOs want this. Tell them how much you hate it. Be loud, email, call, @, post. You will kill this.

The only thing less human than these AI dub performances is the decision to sign off on them
A company this big can pay human actors a decent wage, not produce slop that intentionally removes the human element.

Thought someone had thrown a rock at my car, just had this almighty BANG hit along my passenger side. Pulled over at a gas station to check, and there’s a nice deep chip out of my roof paint.
This is why my next vehicle will go from pick up at the dealer, straight to getting PPF wrapped. FFS.

Spotted the most ADORABLE labubu rip offs at a gas station, and that part of me that treasured finding higher quality knock off MLPs raised it’s collector head, and whispered, “New hobby..?”
I did not start a new collectors hobby. Tonight. No garauntees if I run into those critters again, though.

Good morning Bluesky! Just a friendly reminder that if you’re a brand new account with a profile pic that implies you’re a man, and you try to follow me, but you only seem to be rapidly adding a steady stream of women to your list, you will be premptively blocked for creepy behavior.

Folks getting upset abt SW being in Destiny are missing the fact that, in an alt universe game full of Little Shits That Can Mess With Time, the very idea of SW is likely a by-product of one said Little Shit reaching back and planting seeds from the Destiny future into fertile creative 1970s minds.

You know those bad boy proportions, and gravelly modded voice, are working their charm when there’s a steady stream of mildly horny art the day after the reveal…

I feel like I’m having a Berenstein Bear moment - does anyone else remember a website that played chill music (maybe lo-fi or thereabouts?) over top of CB radio or police radio from around the world? It got so popular it was on the news. But with the gunk-slopification of Google, I can’t find…
