Time to go dress up like some kind of lesser villain in a cyberpunk story and wander the coastline, I guess.

TRUTH. I very firmly believe that if you cannot pay every one of your employees a living wage, then you do not have a viable business model.

I truly, deeply, sincerely do think the guy flipping burgers at McDonalds should be able to afford rent, bills, and groceries with his paycheck alone. That's kind of the whole point of having a job and I can't believe this is considered a radical position.🤷🏽‍♀️

I wish I knew literally enough people to ever get to play D&D. Always wanted to do that.

oh yeah kat gave someone narcan today and saved their fucking life, carry that shit with you, many orgs will give it to you for free and train you to use it.

I need a 2016 Furby to somehow integrate into the Katamari-Damacy nightmare computer ball of my dreams. Like if a Furby was assimilated by the Borg.

I missed having a cobbled-together desktop PC that I don't generally care about. I haven't touched it in months, and don't remember which of the (many) drives I've stuck inside is the boot drive. I'm just gonna fire it up and start unplugging them until something happens.

One of these days, I'll inventory my collection of loose data storage devices and figure out just how much neat stuff I can hoard offline.

I'm so used to just swatting away AI stuff that clutters interfaces in my daily workflow, that I genuinely forget it's a thing anyone actually uses.

My childhood Furby has fresh batteries, aaaand... nothing. No dice. Looks like I've found a new project. The idea of running errands around town with a Furby calling out from my bag is too amusing to pass up.

I still have the Furby I got for my fifth birthday. I should put batteries in that little guy and just take him out around town for a day.

Hey Yo! I added a shiny new "🚫🤖" section to my site so that people can find this stuff easier! More to come of course. ❤️:3 samkalensky.com/product-cate...

Today I logged in, opened social media read some comments, immediately felt like tearing off a robots head, so I did!!!! 8D - 🚫🤖 - Nab one here: samkalensky.com/products/sup...

I hope my one client who accesses her email by Googling her whole email address and selecting the first link is having a good day today.

Some days you just want a strong drink and a fucking coffin to curl up in.

Subscription service where actors dressed up in old-timey rubbery kaiju costumes just burst in to your daily life and begin knocking stuff over.

Woke up with a headache, with the words "George Foreman grill cyberdeck" in my mind.

Legally changed my entire name a handful of years back. Hard to explain. Point being, I need to retroactively map my logic on that choice, and figure out how Teen Johnny would've handled certain developments.

We should really have a social media platform that just exists to provide a space to scream oneself hoarse in a way that provides some illusion that anyone else hears it, except in a way that doesn't negatively impact whatever precarious life situation one is currently in.

When I was like six, my folks had an old Volkswagen Fastback. Battery was located under the rear right seat. One time, a wasp got into the car, and I wasn't able to get out of my seatbelt, so I wriggled loose. Ended up pressing the seat springs against the battery terminals and shorted them out.

I still want the Faraday cage setup in an old warehouse that Gene Hackman had in 'Enemy of the State'.

Remembering the fact that a shitty junk store purchase of an alarm clock (that was cheap because it was secretly broken) is why a family member wasn't in downtown Manhattan for an appointment 25 years ago. Didn't know that at the time, watching the news that morning.

I got my flu and COVID shots for nothing, my 5G speed did not increase even a bit.

I should really just make an alt account.

The internet is so boring now. We should make a new one.

Another Saturday evening, another day where I still cannot light things on fire with my mind. Maybe next weekend.

Got just the little pep talk I needed, today. Accidentally.

I think the highlights of my week were the cricket that I moved from the sidewalk to a nicer spot, and the little ladybug that hitchhiked on my coat. That and seeing my favorite crow, Oddbeak.

Got my hair cut short today. I notice people seem slightly more wary of me, but they become much friendlier than usual when I'm my typical polite self.

Reacher should get slightly larger every episode and they just never address it

In Star Trek people often complain that replicated food is not as good as naturally produced food, which is weird when replicators are presumably using the same technology as transporters, which can perfectly replicate Spock every time. But is Spock getting less flavoursome over time? In this essay,
