my favorite thing about Chicago is that every program is run like “okay we will do something publicly beneficial but WE DO NOT WANT TO oops we’ve reverted to thieves and liars”

honestly I appreciate being shown every few months that there really is no safety anywhere, it makes the heart strong

NYT are now saying “videos directly contradict administration accounts” rather than “videos appear to contradict” like they were yesterday

saying it directly means they feel confident in the legal standing of the phrase & aren’t afraid of being sued into a smoking crater

there’s a very good chance the strategy is repeating what they want the entire country to believe until it just happens

basically Tinkerbell Psyops
BASH: Footage shows him holding a cell phone, not a gun. Did he at any point pull out his weapon?

still working on this entry for the stair

left wall should be gray since it’s connected, not orange, so the correction happens this weekend

one of these days I’ll figure out how to think about color in terms of space, not graphics

my husband just told me he “closed the vent by the stairs because it’s blowing cold air” which is wild because 1) it’s an intake vent and 2) has no mechanism to close it so now I wanna know what he broke

elderly skin is extraordinarily fragile, especially in paler people, and it bruises and tears easily

surprised people have clearly not spent a lot of time with older folks, and it's a disgusting failure of character that they haven't

I am here to contradictorily weigh in on Starfleet Academy

1) Sandro Rosta is jacked beyond the limits of his character's alleged life and I'm not buying it

2) Holly Hunter is jacked beyond the limits of her character's alleged life and I love it

gas leak expanse
For All Mankind is great because as it has gotten dumber and worse, as a TV show, it has also started exploring some of the most interesting science fiction ideas on TV. It's like gas leak The Expanse. I love it very much.
