Important tip: makeup wipes are no use in getting hair products out of your hair. 1am and I really don’t want to shower before bed it was at least worth a shot

For the first time in my life I noted that I was going to get blood drawn at my dr appt this afternoon and I *drank a bunch of water before leaving the house*. Turns out this makes it much easier.

I keep hearing that if we just remove Trump everything will be back to normal. Trump isn't THE problem, he's A problem. He's a bull in china shop, but there is absolutely nothing in his actions that hasn't been a core goal of the GOP for 40 years or more. They will continue to pursue those goals.

I am 55 years old. I just realized “Adam Ant”. Adamant.

« It’s like being in an episode of Black Mirror ». « But in a bad way ». How could that ever be in a good way?!?!?

When you think of money as "other people's labor", which it basically is, a lot of social institutions become very strange. For example, did you know that you can inherit millions of hours of other people's labor? Why.

I try to be less precious about my lyrics, edit them fuckers, cut mercilessly.

Seems weird that the therapists office smells like poppers and lube

Or…

There is no credible progressive argument against building a ton of new homes at all income levels. Opposing making it easier to build new homes isn’t progressive. It’s super conservative & an argument for a permanent shortage & permanent high rents.

Maybe it’s being neurodivergent, but I truly do not understand how someone reacts to a statement of “I don’t experience sexual attraction“ with “that’s not true,everyone does!” You aren’t in their head. You have no fucking clue what they experience shut the fuck up and let people live their lives.

Cops are the problem. Decriminalization is the solution.

Most people have some kind of « lousy ex » story, I do keep ever present in my head that for at least some of my exes those stories are about me. Stay humble.

Another disappointing evening follows another disappointing day And week And month And year At least my life is consistent

Good god I’m a pretentious twat. My corporate voice in work emails really should make people want to punch me in the face.

Cory booker is one of about 6 Dems I respect still at the national level

“What’s your favorite prince song?” Are you kidding me?!?! I could maaaaybe narrow it down to top 20.

Out in the bougie county for some bullshit and it dawns on me that one of reasons I prefer to stay home in winter is bundled up in a big black coat /black winter hat/etc etc I worry that people will mistakenly think I’m straight

It's funny how "intersectionality" never became a boogyman of the right, despite it being a leftist buzzword meaning roughly the same as the stuff they fear monger (political correctness, wokeness, critical race theory, DEI, etc). Probably because they are literally too dumb to use words that long.

we're we here fuck we're shit queer up

We live close enough now for the kids to walk to the grocery store and buy themselves treats and I’m much dismayed by this because they have terrible taste and there’s nothing I want to steal

Don't trust "AI" and also realize that the push to have "AI" in everything happened because some tech people wanted to get rich and other tech people didn't want others to get rich without them, and now they've all spent too much money on a bad product and are trying to scramble out of the hole.

After spending a lot of time thinking about what exactly is wrong with the world, I've finally come to a conclusion: it's the people.

Cannot catch a single fucking break. I give up

Restarting at 55 wasn’t the plan. This sucks.

Culture sucks down words Itemise loathing And feed yourself smiles youtu.be/gavcjNniIvk?...

If kids got raped by clowns as often as they get raped by preachers it would be against the law to take your kids to the circus.

The only takeaway from last night's SOTU speech that actually matters so far as our future is concerned is that only ONE democrat was removed from the chamber for standing up to Trump's bullshit. Only one old democrat with a cane and no fucks left for fascism. It should have been ALL of them.

Started my day by internally commenting this on a ticket... I cannot adequately express in a professional manner just how stupid I think this is.

I've been in the AWS ecosystem for over a decade now and I know I am biased by what I'm used to, but goddamn the UI/UX in GCP is the worst I've seen in IT since the 90's and they actively remove functionality to make it harder to use.
