Today will be a delicate balance for me. Do I want to drink the wine to relax just a little bit, or do I stay sober so I can leave if I need to?

I hate that AI has made me approach cute animal videos with an air of suspicion. I resent having to harden my heart to the possibility of an unlikely friendship between a very large dog and a very small one

It might not be useless, because it sheds some light on how gamedev tends to work.
There are tons of invisible bunnies in World of Warcraft that serve as an origin point for a lot of visual effects by casting them.

i was going through my X archives and found this by @superpodsaga.com, which I qrt'd at some point years ago
so, let me bring the question back: what is the most useless piece of video game knowledge you know?

I think I just found a way to brew tea that will trigger Brits in all new ways.
I made a cup of Earl Gray by putting a tea bag in a reusable K-Cup.

Nearing the end of my only meeting of the day: "I have one final question... Anna, is that a background or is that your actual house? It looks really nice"
My cup is filled. I am sustained. Perfect way to start a short week.

I listened to this yesterday with two anthropologists, and we had to pause it every few minutes so that we could all scream call the author of this book a fucking idiot.
Episode 46: Sapiens
It's an ambitious goal to write the entire history of humanity in just 400 pages. It's even more ambitious to do it without reading any research.

Made a website on Angelfire in 1999. I'm autistic, so of course it became one of my special interests.

You know what's really cool? I met my best friends, Larisa and Stephanie in 4th grade (30 years ago!), and our friendship survived me living 400 miles away for 18 years. It's special having friends who ask, "Wanna take some edibles on a hike and talk about science?" I'm so glad I'm back in NorCal.

Went on a pretty cool hike in Auburn, CA today. It used to be a limestone quarry, and there are still a bunch of old structures left over from the early 1900s. It was also really cool spotting a vulture sunning its wings as the sun came over the canyon.

Man. Lumines Arise is that kind of game that makes me want to get stoned out of my mind to play it, but I also know that I wouldn't be able to play it *at all* if I was high.

It's hilarious that customer care surveys always ask stuff like, "were you greeted with a warm and friendly smile?" And the answers are always yes/no, without the option to say, "this is not important to me"

I needed to get out of the house today, so Dalton took me to the Sacramento Zoo to see the baby Capybaras.

Rocket passed away this morning with the assistance of Lap of Love. He was a few months shy of 12 years old.
It was such a hard decision to make, but his cancer and weight loss were aggressive, and he was having more bad days than good ones. I couldn't watch my sweet little man suffer any more.

The people who take phone calls for Lap of Love deserve every single good thing in the world. Undeniable angels.

I've had This is How You Lose The Time War on my shelf since before the Bigolas Dickolas Tweet, but I'm finally getting around to reading it.

I just hope that after this whole thing, we find a way to trigger a popular vote to remove a president and elect a new one in between normal elections.
I just don’t see how we can pretend even for a moment that anything involving our federal government is remotely normal when the president is covering up his involvement in a child sex trafficking ring. Like, what are we doing here

Not bad for a first session back in a while. I've barely been able to get out of bed for the last two weeks, let alone get 1.5 hours of cardio in.

This month has really been a big reminder that you can do everything right, and the world can still just be like, "haha! No, bitch" and decide to humble you really fast from multiple angles.
