The reason this is terrible is that I can’t go over to a friends house and watch a Netflix show together from my phone to their TV.
What actually happens then is that I log into my Netflix account on their device and maybe I don’t log out again, which is explicitly what they don’t want. Oh well.

Ah yes, Cyber Monday, the day where every company I’ve ever bought something from sends me an email that I do not read.

This is the first winter storm since I got the solar panels in 2019 that they’ve actually ended up blocked and non-functional. Usually, the super slick surface and steep angle, it slides off pretty quickly. But this was a lot of snow and then it got unusually cold.

That was one of the most productive day-before-long-weekend days I’ve ever had. I don’t know what happened. But I can rest easy now, knowing that the high priority ticket I had is done, ahead of expectations.

I think American Thanksgiving confuses me mostly because I’m much, much less food motivated than most humans. I don’t like eating an abnormally large amount of food, and pie is generally not an exciting dessert for me, I’m happy to let others eat it all. But hey, day off work is good!

With previous tech advancements, like the web or smartphone apps, it created broad wealth. The barrier to entry to make a website or an app is pretty small.
With AI, only billion dollar companies can profit from this.
Yet another reason it’s garbage for humans.

I’d forgotten how life with kittens is go-go-go-GO-GO-go-go-go-sleep.

Giving the kittens space alone so they can settle down but I really want to just go up there and force them to love me. But no, if I’m patient today tomorrow will be better, especially when I come back with wet food in the morning again.

If you don’t have a custom avatar, I highly recommend one! It’s something distinctly yours and you can use it everywhere! Work JIRA, Social Media, Mac Login, whatever! Brian does good art and those prices are insaaaaaaane!
I have spots open. LAST CALL FOR THE HOLIDAYS! Commission sale is live! This is the best time to lock down the character, NPC, monster, or group commission you've been thinking about. #dnd #ttrpg #daggerheart

There are three pillars of a modern just society.
Free healthcare so we can have life.
UBI at a liveable level so we can have the liberty to do what we choose.
Expand free education from K-12 to University and trade schools so we can pursue our happiness.
We could just do this.

- UBI
- free housing
- free food
- free broadband
- free utilities
- free college
- no marketing infringing on the free and fair use of spaces available to the general public
- no billionaires
I have so many more I could go on for pages

"my least woke opinion is---"
That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

It’s super wild that we had a repeat MLB World Series winner, both Managers of the Year, both Cy Young winners (best pitcher), and both MVPs. That’s all the repeatable major accomplishments! I doubt that’s ever happened before. And yet, it was one of the most memorable postseasons in history.

I want to live in a world where people talk about things they love, not one where we have to push back on powerful people trying to weaken the definition of pedophelia, but once again here we are.

I mean this is so far pretty close to a 10 out of 10 night for Democrats. Winning everywhere! Statewide in PA and GA, huge margin in VA gov race. Sherrill tracking double digits as well! Mamdani above 50% in a the highest turnout in NYC since 1969. Big pick ups in VA House of Delegates.

It looks like we still have a functional Democracy, at least for now!
One year until midterms. If it goes like tonight, that’s a severe curtailing to Trump’s power. So, let’s take a hopeful moment for what it is!

Only 3 years and 2 months until we have an inaugural ball in the Epstein ballroom for the next Democratic President of the United States.

As someone who likes TV and has no shame about that, I used to closely follow new fall shows to make sure I didn’t miss something good. Even in the Tivo era you had to ask in advance.
Now I only vaguely pay attention. If something is good, people will talk about it and I can catch up! So easy!

I don’t have any local elections this week, but a lot of you do! Vote if you have voting! It’s an essential component of getting us out of this mess.
