Been listening to ScreenRant instead of my usual marketing podcasts. It's fun to listen to screen writers chat and they have a lot of industry insights. I've always found that you can learn a healthy portion of an entire industry's jargon and inner workings through a few dozen hours of podcasts.

What's orange and sounds like a Parrot?

-cold outside but the chickens are happy in the barn at only -3c as long as I bring then warm water twice a day and keep the Lay Pellets plentiful.

It was so cold going to give the chickens warm water this morning that they had started laying ice cubes.

It's the time in the afternoon that my mind starts to wander off track and I have to get some more caffeine, blast some Kawai Metal and focus on getting the work done.

I could probably do some kind of meditation music and tea, but they just don't drop the bass in the breakdown like metal.

I'm sad that TACOs are getting a bad name...

Remember everyone, tacos are love. 💚

It is your right as a human being to love tacos with your preferred filling, and your favorite shell, corn, or flower tortilla, in any shape or size.

Differences don't dilute them; they make tacos better.

After everything that happened in my life and having it turn out for the best, the only real explanation is time travel.

I guess it could also be an over zealous guardian angel, but that's silly. Gotta be #timetravel.

My friend once said, "I want to go to Iceland and Greenland." and I asked, "Greenland? What do you want to go there for?" like he was insane. I didn't know anything about #Greenland 30 years ago, so I was a bit naive.

However, I kind of have that same feeling now.

I feel so loved, like a hug from a warm blanket on a cold morning, which it is today.

I promise to do my best to keep doing whatever you call the random author notes, chicken photos, AI observations, and shitposting you are here for.

Wasn’t there a treaty about outer space that we cant just all go willy-nilly building reactors on the moon or mining asteroids?

I feel like everyone just decided whatever they can reach in space is theirs now.

But also, there’s a whole lot of space so does it matter? I just don’t know.

My daughter said she borrowed one of my “stuffies” to play with. At first I was unsure what she was talking about.

Can you imagine having a vehicle you have to go somewhere to power up? Like you cant just plug it in at your house?

And then you have drive around with dozens of gallons of explosive liquid in a big metal tank while shooting poison gas out the back end?

What a weird way to get around.

“History isn’t driven by evil masterminds, it’s driven by stupid people organized by immoral ones.

This pairing has broken societies since the first hierarchy.

The moral and the educated must push back, or society will be shaped by those who seek power without conscience.”

If I get 3 more followers here, I'll be friends with 2000 of you sexy, smart, compassionate humans.

I'm not sure what I'll do but I'll find a way to thank you all for being awesome.

Bringing me the news. Advice. Wonderful stories. And funny memes. And the chicken photos! You are all so awesome!

The only thing that saved society from collapse in #Idiocracy was a series of AI systems, food, work, medical... all AI powered. And eventually, people got dumb enough to break that too.

In 2026, we're not far off from developing those amazingly advanced idiots.

I am still enthralled with this album as if it were January 1990, 36 years ago, when I popped that cassette tape into my Walkman on my way to work at the fish and chips shop.
