The Neverending Story might be my favorite film (I've been thinking about this). It has the dual-hero's journeys. But the confrontation with the Big-Bad ("The Nothing") collapses an entire universe down to a single atom ("The Childlike Empress"). And the resolution was restoration of that universe.

I want to go back to the timeline where they didn't fire up CERN.

Hello [Peck]! Can I interest you in a lucrative career in AI? All you have to do is [pay out the ass for our expensive-as-fuck-course-on-how-to-type-prompts]? ---Aye, I'd be a whole lot happier if I jiggled my nuts.

I hope that this drives disengagement. I don't want any of those assholes ever contacting me.

Look, I know some of you are skeptical, but since LinkedIn put in the "Seems like AI Slop" button, I have been absolutely using the shit out of it. I hadn't gone on LinkedIn in a couple of years (except when I was a little drunk and wanted to say "this is AI slop"). This was a brilliant move.

My contractor in professional-academia: Can you provide us with an "After-Action Report" on the pilot-class we had you teach? Me, a retired Aviation Safety-Petty Officer: I'm not sure that's what you mean. Them: Yes, that's exactly what we mean. [Are you dense?] Me:

When I'm out doing training, one of the things I constantly hit on is that Central New York doesn't have enough trades-workers and doesn't have enough educational infrastructure to train massive amounts of them as quickly as needed. The area is going to see a massive influx from other places.

Box truck strikes Onondaga Lake Parkway Bridge

I loved Scott MacFarlane's coverage the Jan 6 insurrectionists because he reported it down the corporate-line, but he subtlety let you know where he stood. Now that he's outside the umbrella of CBS, this is the Scott MacFarlane I always kind of hoped was there, underneath. Also, Go Orange.

I added to this... like a lot, and I never juxtaposed being managed by dipshits. Maybe I have grown as a human being to be more empathetic and less angry, after years of therapy and one stint in rehab...

I am continuing my tradition (only broken up by the time I went to rehab) where I get blinding drunk and regal my audience with stories of Coast Guard heroism, juxtaposed, by how that heroism comes despite of the biggest dipshits you've ever met being in charge of organizing things.

Do they pull the plug tomorrow or wait a couple of days so it's not so obvious?

Nope. The Skyline is rancid this morning.

On the Eve of the US Coast Guard's Birthday... nothing, absolutely nothing, in my twenty-years of service, brought me such joy as Admiral Z dropping this declaration for transgender-troops. I was never so proud to be a Coastie as when he declared that.

Bluesky's new CEO Toni Schneider on the platform's reputation for being a liberal bubble: "Yes, we definitely want that to change. It is already changing. It certainly wasn’t designed to attract one specific group of people."

Kind of makes me long for the comparatively-halcyon days of Bush and Rummy.

Exclusive: US military asks troops for ‘creative and unconventional’ ideas to punish Iran | CNN Politics

The request from a senior officer at the US military command carrying out President Donald Trump’s war with Iran came in an email: We need ideas.

cnn.com

I just went through and blocked about a 150 Chloe-bot accounts (and have blocked hundreds more over the past weeks). If it's that easy to slip scammy pornbots through Bsky, imagine how easy it is for anyone else.

"Creative and unconventional ways to punish Iran," you say? Make them attend Financial Peace University given by the Chaplain. But the shitty Chaplain that doesn't even furnish coffee or a snack-tray.

When I was 12 or 13 and first learning to play golf, my uncle and his friends taught me how to cheat. They weren't "teaching me how to cheat," but they were telling me to do things because I was a kid and they were drunk and it sped things up. 70 is totally plausible, if... ya know...

I just ate the entire pizza that I warmed up for my wife and I, before she got a single slice. Marriage is mostly cooperation, but occasionally, a competition.

The difference between places like Stockroom (I've been a customer for over 30 years) and getting cheap, Chinese stuff from Amazon, is that pay people like @planetmidori.bsky.social, to teach you how to use it. Growing up in the Bay Area, she is someone to listen to.

Midori@planetmidori.bsky.social · 4d ago

For over 3 decades, Stockroom has understood something we hold dear at ForteFemme: that exploring desire deserves to be met with respect, not judgment. Their commitment to treating this community as healthy, intelligent, adventurous adults shows up in every product they create or source.

I just sent an email to my contractor that could be interpreted as "this man is a genius" or "this man belongs in an asylum (which don't exist anymore; Thanks Reagan!)" You only fail if you fail to roll those dice, friends.
