Hello Bluesky! You all seem by and large like wonderful people. I hope I come off as someone who is earnestly trying to be kind and thoughtful and hopefully I earn your trust that if a post ever comes off as not that, that that isn’t the way I intended it.

That’s my paper boat, I don’t know you!

(You probably already know that and I’m an internet stranger so feel free to completely ignore but for whatever it’s worth for a stranger to say it, there’s gonna be a time that you’ll feel better and however long that takes, it’s ok for you to take that time. You got folks that’ll be here)

I think it might also be ok and a sign that your body is processing grief if you’re feeling exhausted after such an emotional change in your life. You can feel anger and frustration that stuff isn’t where you want it to be and also give yourself some grace that you’re a human being dealing with loss

So many of us think we’re failures, that we fail to live to our potential

Yet our hearts keep beating, our lungs keep breathing, our pancreas keeps… doing w/e it does

Only organ that has a problem with us is the one directing all the others so if it has issues it don’t seem like its heart is in it

Sometimes, often, I feel like the stuff I’m doing is a failure too. No notes… just a sympathetic sentiment. Whether or not you choose to continue with it I think the world is better for having your art in it and I’m glad I get to see it <fistbump>

The worst one is “we gotta check you’re human… click this button” and I’m like wait… it USED to be that robots could DO that and they had to do the image thing to prove we weren’t robots. Are robots getting dumber?!

I’m saying now, if they do not have the line
“What are you gonna do to stop us, your husband and your best friend who are trying to murder you? You have no weapon! What could you use to…”
<BLAM!>
“My side piece, that’s what!”

Then there is no more justice in the world.

Hey ChatGPT, did you take away my mouth so I couldn’t scream?

Good catch! I did do that, my mistake!

Good for them but the idea of the folks putting their bare ass on the freeway is making my brain make this sound

(True story incidentally. She laughed which is usually a good sign but B2M just isn’t as effective in 2025, I guess)

In Dance Dance Revolution I got a B on “I’ll make love to you” by Boys II Men (on the hard level, no less!) and not so much as the barest hint of a flush on my wife’s cheek.

So much for trying something new in the bedroom…

Just danced to last Friday night with kids on an old version of Just Dance. I want everyone in the world to have that kind of Sunday afternoon if they so choose

So the funny thing is the super power might be “insanity” if Thiel is any indicator… If I start talking about the antichrist please some slap some sense into me

I can think of no better artist/storyteller to finally give us a satisfying ending to the show My Name Is Earl.

Godspeed, sir!

I think I read somewhere your chance of encountering a radioactive spider is higher when watching tokusatsu…

If any CEOs are listening, the drop in perf you see across your companies is not because people aren’t in the office, it’s not because you need reorgs or OKRs or AI…

It’s because they’re exhausted from you not doing anything to fix the relentless stress everyone’s going through when you could have

Opera might be required too… you have to see every opera ever made!

How Berserker Piglet’s brain works:

There’s a chance that if I watch all of the Kamen Rider series, all of the Ultraman series, all of the Star Trek, read every x-men comic ever made, read all the great works of world literature… … I might get super powers.

Cmon Piglet… don’t you want powers?!

Ok the Substance is harrowing…

But also… good on her for constructing that room; seemed like high quality craftsmanship and shows she’s got a lot of sides to her personality

Realized the poster is just posting misinformation almost exclusively.
