I think I'm gonna actively dedicate LESS energy, hopefully none, to infighting. Friends and allies, if I disagree with you, however staunchly, whether I'm able to hold true to my affirmation to argue about it or not, please know that I'm with you all the way.
Fully identify with all who were there, as I was, before anything cool was recognized as such. But I also accept that the kids need to have their various crusades and the midlifers to belatedly discover divergent meanings. I don't need to legislate what it is; I was there to see it come into being.

I find all the Primarchs so dumb, except somehow for Sanguinius, and that's mainly because he's dead, which makes Horus Heresy extra weird to my mind. Oh well, lovers of the constant prequelizing of everything will always exist.

Of those who struggle with the ethics of their art and decide to let most of it be and accept society's judgment and those who struggle with the ethics of their art and decide to constantly self-flagellate and regularly purify their own creations by fire ... I guess I slightly side with the former??

Can I express how great it feels to be talking to a person who, of their own initiative and, like, professional training and such? asks you if you want to schedule this or that medical thing and why it's important or why it can be skipped or delayed and how much it costs and whether it's covered?
“Why are Americans mistrustful of AI?” asks the morning briefing thing I’m skimming while I “no” through literally a dozen questions being asked to me by a robot who stands between me and the person I need to talk to to schedule the x-ray that I really, really need

Anybody else getting auto-like bots? It's kind of annoying. I keep blocking them, but they keep reappearing.

I don't know where to set my sights for this year & am resigned to not do it. I don't believe this will be a good year. Maybe I aspire to, as much as possible, the courage of an amusical child about to smash some keys on a piano. Shit sucks, I have no inner capacity to rise above anything, let's go.

Why is MJ experience so sharply divided between, on one hand, "Blah but I guess stuff is funny," and on the other, "I am totally freaking out, this is absolutely unbearable torture slowed down beyond conceivable subdivisions of time, and yet I can see and understand the full depth of the universe!"?

My End of Year video is on the "Golden Age of Indie RPGs," from roughly 2010 to 2025. I start with Apocalypse World's release, work through the Google+ Era, and follow design lineages and historical events that have impacted the hobby up through 2025.

It occurs to me that anything c*nservartives control might be initially lionized but inevitably runs to the ground while anything pr*greasives control is preserved in perfectly accurate-to-history boring dinkiness but also has better healthcare, actually nice staff, and all-genders restrooms.

Before the show, I went to the club bathroom as Maynard Ferguson was coming out of the stall. I knew his music, but didn't know what he looked like. He said hello, I said hello back, he washed his hands, and I was still peeing when he left.
Right folks. Feeling rather down at the moment so bringing back an oldie

As someone trapped between cultures, I am just as disgusted by someone who never says please or thank you as someone who adds sir to please and thank you or even says sir to anybody.
