imagining Jean Vicquemare waking up at 4am (after only managing to drift off somewhere between 2 and 3) with a bad headache and sitting on his shitty couch holding a glass of water in tortured silence staring at a wall until his alarm goes off for work (he does not drink the water) <3 (^ w ^)👍

sitting on the front page of merriam-webster.com looking up the word "penis" over and over and over just for the little thrill of seeing it written out in the "top searched-for words in the last 30 seconds" real-time tracker

nostalgic about the lead content of solder. ranting and raving about how when they took the lead out of solder that's when the world went to shit, just absolutely losing my little mind, mind full of poison waving a circuitboard in the air but AHA, NONE of the components are falling off, SEE?? SEE???

i love movies, and i love watching movies. if someone i know is like "watch a movie with me" i will, no matter what, because that is an act of LOVE. and there are so many different types of movie! classic, modern, animated, big studio, arthouse, adaptation or original...i love movies!

organising my dvd collection. making what I am calling the "Fun Filmbro Fridays :)" shelf. the smile is part of the name, you have to use the smile if you want to refer to the shelf even if you're saying it out loud

there should have been a scene in disco elysium where harry "harry" du bois and kim "don't you fucking dare" kitsuragi get into the kineema and then it turns into a top-down driving minigame where you have to press left and right to change lanes and avoid pedestrians. like a reverse Frogger :)

there should have been a scene in disco elysium where harry "my name is harry" du bois and kim "fuck you" kitsuragi doubleteam jean vicquemare round the back of the frittte next to a dumpster full of discarded pastries (capitalism allegory)

there should have been a scene in disco elysium where harry "good boy, sit, bark" du bois and kim "exhaustfucker" kitsuragi start a cult of disillusioned student-aged adults who're all encouraged to sit and carve miniature replica's of harry's lost gun out of driftwood and sell them on the street

there should have been a scene in disco elysium where kim "ace's high" kitsuragi and harry "don't test me don't fucking test me i fucking swear i'll do something i'll regret i swear to fucking christ i'll regret whatever the fuck it is i'm going to do if you test me" du bois learn how to crochet

i fucking love ROCKS. they are on the ground and free. to take! to just TAKE. you can take a rock from a garden, too. from someone's drive if they have gravel. (gravel is small rocks)

lrp: Thinking now about the idea that Jean and his superior Milicia had a *thing* going on. Imagine if he only took on Harry's proposal to restructure C-Wing to get away from a failed relationship, only to keep getting sent BACK there, all apologetic, because of a SECOND failed relationship?

thinking today about how brand/IP-centered activity and loyalty has for many, more than ever, become almost inextricably tied to identity and emotional/social health, and how this has been driven almost entirely by corporate interests exploiting the human need for culture and for community

When Republicans talk about and implement total partisan media takeover, their plans for “internet safety” also factor in. They want to concentrate online power into platforms they can control, but they’re disguising it as bipartisan efforts to keep kids safe online.
