Fuck everything. I occasionally stream on Twitch. GenX She/Her, cis I'm me everywhere because I'm not very original. Sometimes I make things. Mostly I buy supplies to make things, & then don't make the things. Header image is a resin cabochon I made.

Hey, did you know there's an alternative to ChatGPT that makes sense economically and doesn't destroy the environment?
It's called English majors and they will happily fix all of your documents for the low price of health insurance and a living wage.

I say this assuming people remember these things, but maybe not, I don't know.

Current mood

Lisa and Bart Samson in hammocks made of US Army Mail sacks in the Kamp Krusty episode of the Simpsons:

LISA: I FEEL LIKE I'M GOING TO DIE, BART.
BART: WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE, LIS
LISA: I MEANT SOON.
BART: SO DID I.

15 years of constantly trying to repeal it.
Never once have they come up with a viable replacement.

BECAUSE THEY DON'T WANT TO REPLACE IT.
They just want you to die.
Especially given that what we have WAS their plan.
No, really.

Republicans have had 15 years to come up with an Obamacare replacement plan. They still haven’t

Thune: "The president would like to overhaul Obamacare and give people health insurance that is higher quality and more affordable."

Nixon expected to (and did, though not enough) fave consequences.
Trump never has. And never expects to.

This would be like asking an actor if they wish they had a robot that would go onstage instead of them during the hard scenes every night.

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

It'll be interesting to see what this notoriously misogynistic administration does with these "useful" women when they get what they want.

oh as part of the deal the lawsuits went away how curious and probably unrelated and we shouldn’t ask how this Republican election firm came up with the money to buy them outright that would be rude

I can't lie, I'm not the best at focusing on lyrics? I can sing every word of a song perfectly without necessarily absorbing the content of those lyrics. But my best friend pointed out the quality of FOB's, and once I started paying attention, I agreed.

You destroyed our international trade partnerships with tariffs and by killing USAID.
You inherited a recovering economy where a good bit of the rising price problem was due to unchecked price gouging.
We're not as brain dead as you'd like us to be.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 18h

Brooke Rollins: "Here's what everyone has to understand. The farm economy is in a very uncertain time. But that isn't because of the current trade negotiations, although certainly the China part is part of that. But we inherited a slew of issues."
