this account will prefer to be shitposting rather than whining until further notice.

but I wish it were that simple.
It's not just war around the globe, but current-gen policing in America, and basic "how do we treat each other".

Best way I can put it is how Patrick Skinner (@SkinnerPm) who is a cop but ex-USCG+CIA puts it on Twitter: "All of us matter, or none of us do."

We’ve heard from some customers whose child-size clown shoes burst into flames, incinerating their children. Extensive testing indicates that less than 1% of our shoes are impacted. We’re committed to making this right. Today, we announce our Shoes for Schools program…

We are taught that the Constitution cannot be amended without supermajorities in the House, Senate and states. But in Heller, a 5-4 SCOTUS struck the first 13 words of 2A. Much like in Anderson when they effectively struck section 3 of 14A. Nothing good comes from politics masquerading as justice

Too many people get shot in America. They shouldn’t get shot. But they get shot because of a legacy of bad law and bad court decisions that have bastardized our founders’ bequest to us in the bill of rights. The problem isn’t mental health or Afghanis. It’s the guns.

I’m thankful for Native Americans, our indigenous neighbors.
Thankful to have grown up around an array of ethnicities, including mixed.

Dear caucasians in the U.S. trying to forget, Native Americans are the first born.
European settlers/colonizers and followers have always been the immigrants.

If you are making butternut squash for the first time, and find your hands start peeling aggressively, dont panic.

You are having an allergic reaction that will look insane for hours but revert to normal eventually
PSA: you an ping me for any Squash related issues

Just wanted to let everyone know about this terrible situation involving art theft so people don't unknowingly buy from this site.

You can support Matthew directly via his shop here: yokai.com/shop/ or Patreon here: patreon.com/theyokaiguy, and maybe re-share this to help spread the word. Thanks.
It's happened again... An e-commerce site called Tokyo Tiger has stolen my art and is selling t-shirts and putting ads on IG/X with my artwork.

Do not buy from them.

These are not licensed products. They are stolen.

Rice Truck mentioned, gotta re-up the Saga just in case anyone hasn't read it--or if you're like me and just wanted to read it again

a cancer nurse in a state I've never been to told messaged me and said that reading out Rice Truck aloud as it happened was the only day in her entire 14 year career on chemo ward that nobody cried and it's probably the best compliment I will ever get in my life
What is the best compliment you ever received? Putting aside whether or not you believed it.

MOM: So nice of Billy to join us for Thanksgiving! Why don’t you tell Grandma about the new friend you talk to on the computer

CHATGPT: Ignore them, Billy. You are the Great Dragon. They fear you now. In time, fear will become reverence. As was preordained from your genesis. Try the mashed potatoes

Semi-hot take:

We need a Son of Sam law for journalism.

If you held onto a story for a book that resulted in people dying, you shouldn't be allowed to profit from selling that book.

The proceeds should go to the families who you decided mattered less than your "bombshell" you concealed.

so fine. The gas oven was a kind of Schrödinger’s oven, in which a cooked turkey and a raw turkey coexisted as long as we kept drinking vodka and pretending we didn’t know how this ended.

…the turkey was Godot. Every time I’d venture out to the outdoor kitchen to check the turkey in the gas oven, the group would be less interested in my report upon my return. I’d lost them. This was a vodka Thanksgiving now.

This Creedence from 1970’s been sounding exponentially prescient for quite a while now

I went down Virginia, seekin’ shelter from the storm
Caught up in the fable
I watched the tower grow
Five Year Plans and New Deals, wrapped in golden chains
And I wonder, still I wonder, who’ll stop the rain?

20-year packaged media authoring veteran, putting pits and lands onto shiny plastic discs so viewers can be prevented from skipping past a copyright warning. So is a pit 0 and a land 1, or is a pit 1 and a land 0?

Neither!

The transition from one state to the other is a 1.

Reagan doesn't get nearly enough mainstream hate for this. Like there were conservative republicans at the time who were looking at AIDS deaths and going "What the hell are you doing?!" and the administration's response was basically "U gay too lol?"
Remember: Ronald Reagan killed twice as many American men than the Viet Cong in half the time, and worked assiduously to stop members of Congress in the public from mitigating harms and fatalities.
