First rule from the movie Labyrinth: You have no power over me. Feel like this is still a good message to share with the masses. Also, David Bowie forever.

So, I finally finished binging Midsomer Murders and decided to take a hard 180...so, now I'm binging Star Trek: Next Gen. Would really kill for a holodeck. I may never leave it and I'm okay with this fate. Also, Stewart and Frakes are only 12 years apart. 🤔

As a professor of English, allow me to try, humbly and with the proper respect, to offer an appropriate response to the President’s address: Fuck you, you fucked-up fuck, and fuck all the fuckers who willingly fuck with you, especially. You can all fuck all the way off, and then fuck off some more.

Well, I took a week off from social media and have to say, I feel calmer. Oh, there was a speech last night? What was...oh... Oh no... Balls... Wtf?? Aaaaaand I'm talking a lil break...off to the science posters. Give me some of that dinosaur/quantum theory love.

Saw Captain America this last weekend. Was a really good government spy/espionage movie. Was an okay Marvel movie. I enjoyed them closing up some old hanging threads, and really appreciate those actors that came back for old parts. Also, dude needs the super serum.

Every time I open the news it feels like scratching a lottery ticket. "Come on good news!!! Give me something to celebrate!!!" *Page loads..** "Damnit, now they're looting Social Security..."

My official office seat warmer.

So, AP News was kicked out of the White House because...checks notes...the call it the Gulf of MEXICO... Do they even know what freedom of speech actually means or do they just have dancing nuts running through their head? (yes, I know the real answer, it's just depressing...)

Watching some live playthroughs of Avowed. I don't really need another video game, do I?? I mean, one can never have too many video games.

Well, that's just depressing...

President's Day is upon us and I'm trying to figure out how best to celebrate. Cake? Bourbon? Explosives? (totally in the form of fireworks...probably) Doom scrolling my sanity away? Options are endless...

I know Hanlon's Razor says "never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity", but what if sometimes it's both? I feel like right now we're watching both fight it out on the global stage, and I'm not sure who I'm supposed to root for. Books ftw!!!

Nothing like the feeling when dipshit's plane lands back in town. It's a bit of sadness, mixed with some anger, a pinch of irritation, and a cup of why-can't-he-just-stay-in-Washington?. Said dipshit being our non-elected, treasury-raiding, national IT hacking dipshit. And he's back in town. 😒

I kind of miss college. You would sit around and deconstruct some terrible movie. Try to figure out exactly what drugs the director was on when trying for weird symbology. Now, I just listen to podcast and it isn't the same. None of them describe the drugs needed to make sense out of utter crap.

I have been light binging Midsomer Murders for almost 2 months and I'm only on the 18th season (2016). This show just keeps going and going. I'm kind of down for it. Weird lil English serial murders in a small, lil English county are exactly what I need right now. And, there's an adorable dog.

Just remember, we're all basically meat computers flying through space on the rocky skin of a cue ball. It's a wild ride. And I need more coffee to enjoy it ..

Watching a cooking show make bagels and now I have a goal before bed. Bagels!!! Good thing it wasn't a bathroom remodel show.

I'm doing a thing right now where every organization on Bluesky that I like, I will click to whatever article/site/pinata they link. If I can show some traffic clicks from Bluesky it will increase interest to post here. I don't usually care about the whatsit but they need clicks, damnit! *Click*

Just had the largest, tastiest bowl of Pollo Caldo soup and I think I'm finally ready to build a chrysalise for myself. I'll pop out in a few mont...years as something fabulous. Maybe a Hypnotoad that produce coffee on demand....

Can we as a whole just ignore the tantrum throwing, nazi man-baby? Kind of like you would in a restaurant where some kid is just having a screaming, throw-down. I mean, if/when it comes up...Nazi name-call the hell out him...but otherwise...he's a troll...starve him out.... This is the way.

Alright, trying to figure out what I want to post. I want to be interactive with humanity but... ...politics is a mess... ...environment is a mess... ...socioeconomic global classes is a shirtshow... ...the arts?... ...the sciences?... Wait! I got it! Adorable snoots!

Is there a tasty enough bourbon out there that I can drink it and mentally mute out the news/social media for...oooooh....4-6 years? Asking for....me...I'm asking for me, cause this is going to be one helluva ride.

Took a week off from all social media. It was nice and quiet. Perhaps too quiet? After so many years of constant internet chatter it's a bit unsettling when someone looks at you and says, "Have you heard?". No, no I haven't. Do I really need to?

Cognitive bias: a systematic error in thinking that influences our decisions based on historical experiences. Your brain operates on energy conservation. It takes the fastest path to a decision even if that information is incorrect. This is every brain. Question everything around you, always.

It's Friday and I'm trying to decide...game...movie...book... The problem with this is figuring out which game, movie or book. The world is full of options and I have low motivation. I need an AI that can take my temperament and just be like...this book...this cocktail...and a good sleep...

Have to admit, watching Elmo Musker being unmasked as a POE2 "hardcore gamer" by actual hardcore gamers may be the best dessert I've had in awhile. His inability to grasp the basics of gear or maps while peacocking his end-game toon is just...😍 ...so tasty... www.vice.com/en/article/e...

I'm not saying she's spoiled but I'm not not saying it either.

I found out today I evidently charge my phone like it's still 1999. Phone repair guy looked at my expanding phone battery, looked at me and said, "You don't have to keep it on the charger all the time." 🤔 Back a few decades damn phones would die twice a day and once at night due to low battery.

Alright, time for some New Years Resolutions! 1. Drink Coffee (may be hard but I can do it) 2. Read Books (a book is still books) 3. Touch Grass (allergies say this is a can't miss) 4. Don't Sweat the Dumb Stuff (may be hard this year) 5. Repeat Until Internal Bliss is Reached...

Happy New Years Eve!!! Wonder if I still have time (or motivation) to do a whole domicile cleaning before the New Year. It would be a great way to start 2025 but also...damn...that's a lot of effort... I mean seriously, that is a lot of effort. And, there's champagne and a cheese tray waiting.

I'm in a weird balance where I want to be informed but also...every time I see Elmo or Turnips face I just 😱🤮🤯 I'm on a diet of news, space and kitty pictures but I need more cuteness to balance out the depressing reality of rich, narcissistic donkeys trying to rule the world. And doing it badly.

This is how I begin every journey. Two loaded double espresso lattes. I may have to wait hours at the airport but I will be super caffeinated while doing it.

Trying to make a list of the worst movies I saw in 2024 and I'm pretty sure I mentally blocked watching some of these. Had to go find a list of movies released this year just to remind myself what came out. Still only have hazy memories of some of these movies. Madame Web and Argylle both happened.

Well, we made it to Christmas Eve 2024. The time of great (and terrible) Christmas movies, great (and terrible) get-togethers, great (and hopefully survivable) holiday food. I hope everyone has something positive they can take away from this Holidaze, and if not...well, there's always next year. 😉

Confirmation bias: A tendency to search for, collect, perceive, or interpret information in a manner that supports preconceptions, expectations, or desires. NOTE: This is a type of cognitive bias. You cannot change the mind of someone who intently believes an idiot is a messiah. But you can try.
