No gods, no masters, just opossums and squirrels. He/him.

I haven't seen my favorite squirrel in a few weeks. She's gone away and come back before, and I hope she does again. But her offspring are still there. Judging by the tail, I think his father might have been a raccoon.

I updated Windows and now all my music software has gone silent. I'm currently editing settings in every single program. I wish more music software offered a Linux option, because I am so, so tired of this shit.

A local supermarket has a deli Italian submarine sandwich on sale for $4. Their vegetarian sandwich is $6. Which is why tomorrow I'm going to order the Italian sandwich, and ask them to hold the meat. I may get thrown out for quoting Jack Nicholson in "Five Easy Pieces".

Horrifying. I think end-stage capitalism is a stage of trying to gaslight everyone about everything. Maybe that’s why they’re so desperate to get everyone to offload their brains into dependency on AI.

I appreciate likes and retweets. Saves, however, make me wary. They make me think someone's compiling my posts so they can be read aloud at my show trial.

Most people seeing multiple notifications: "Hey it's nice to be noticed." Me seeing multiple notifications: "Oh, what have I done? What in the world have I done?"

Rep. Max Miller: "My former wife has claimed that during a custody exchange at my home that day, I assaulted her…If I had assaulted her, would she have offered to cook me dinner six days later?"

I'm having a very bad mobility day, so I ordered pizza. My delivery driver was from Italy. I imagine delivering a Domino's pizza is a traumatic experience for an Italian.
