I really miss Tom Scott's weekly videos. I know the man is on a well-deserved break, but I want him back. Sooner rather than later, if possible.

I'm never going to have a normal sleep schedule again.

It isn't easy when the signs of your age start slipping by. Went to look up a song from my teenage years, one that I loved and considered part of my "personal soundtrack," only to learn that 2 of the 3 band members had already passed. I wish I'd been able to tell them what their music meant to me.

Fucking typical. Veterans everywhere should be furious about this crap. The man has never once missed an opportunity to insult those of us who've served this country, and I will never understand why any who has ever worn the uniform would support him.

"Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts." - Mark Twain

I wish more Americans traveled regularly, and could experience things outside their cultural bubbles. We suffer, as a nation, for that lack of worldliness.

Nothing he says matter, because he has no values. He says whatever thought enters his mind in that moment, and if it contradicts anything he said before? Fake news. Never said it. You took it out of context.

"Oceania was at war with Eastasia. Oceania had always been at war with Eastasia."

Anyone else see this shit and think "holy fuck, it really *is* Idiocracy made real"?

Like many others, I've canceled my Disney+ and Hulu accounts. Any company that willing to roll over at the first hint of an assault on the First Amendment doesn't deserve a dime from me, or anyone else.

You'd think a company worth billions would have the money and spine to *fight*. Buncha cowards.

Found a webcomic from @revvydrawssmut.bsky.social today and it's pretty damned fantastic. Sexy out the gate with a lot of promise. Head over to her site and check out "It's Not Complicated" now: revvydrawscomics.com/2025/01/31/2...

Kinda weird, left-field question, but bear with:

If we developed FTL travel that did not cause time dilation, and we traveled, say, 200 light years away... If we had the technology to view the Earth from that distance, would we be seeing the literal past? Could we watch historical events unfold?

Once again, payment providers deciding that adults aren't adult enough to make their own choices when it comes to adult entertainment. This is, frankly, exhausting. itch.io/updates/upda...
Update on NSFW content
We have “deindexed” all adult NSFW content from our browse and search pages. We understand this action is sudden and disruptive, and we are truly sorry for the frustration and confusion caused by...

I moved to Seattle to *escape* the heat and for whatever insane reason it followed me here.

This shit will not abide.

Watching YT videos from a woman called Sarah Spaceman about cosplay events and the drama around them and I'm finding this endlessly fascinating despite never having cosplayed and not knowing how to sew (except for replacing the odd button or two).

I don't know what's been going on with Steam lately, but every submission for review has taken *ages*. We had to resubmit (again) but with only one issue I'm hoping the game is ready by Monday or Tuesday for release. I'm just not *counting* on it.

Sometimes you get into the writing of a scene you've been thinking about for weeks and you're midway through and you realize "this isn't what the scene was in my head." And then you flip the table and smash your keyboard because what the fuck is even the point

I should be *slightly* better about checking this shit than I am, but I'd always compared Xitter to trying to drink from a fire hose, and Bluesky doesn't feel that much different.

I've not been active on here much. In part, because I've been in the midst of a move and a lot of other major life changes, and those have had a lot of my attention. But also because everything just feels so fucking *bleak*...

Hard to stay engaged when it all just seems pointless.

Settling in here in our new apartment in Seattle. I've been here for two weeks, and every day I've felt just as pleased and grateful to be here as the last.

Almost done unpacking and putting together new furniture. I'll be enormously relieved when it's all complete.

"In four years, you don’t have to vote again. We’ll have it fixed so good, you’re not going to have to vote." - Donald Trump, July 26th, 2024

This is what he said during his campaign. And many blew it off, treated it as a non-issue. Trump being Trump. Not to worry...

Still think it's a non-issue?

Why can't we live in the timeline where Firefly had 7 full seasons? Or where they cured cancer? Or something, anything, that isn't... all of THIS.
