I'm gonna do something I have never done in my life... make an introductory post!

Hi, I'm Gen. 👋
I'm a GenX bartender in a gambling parlour and I WILL bitch about work. Vociferously.

I p much post whatever comes to mind, whenever I feel like it.

15. "Black No. 1" by Type O

Why today and not for the "black" prompt? BECAUSE that iconic bassline is a down-tempo "Munsters" theme! Plus, Josh plays "Addams Family" backwards. :)

Enjoy the wind machine on this live-for-TV video:

"Sophie, you can't have. Is chocolate. Chocolate is bad for kitties."

UCLA’s Long Covid clinic director explains that Covid is not a lung issue but “vascular and neurologic infection.”

A Duke cardiologist shares “we see people have symptoms from almost head to toe.”

People don’t care, they don’t want to hear it.

Beyond breathing: How COVID-19 affects your heart, brain and other organs

The "head-to-toe" effects of COVID-19 infection mean you still need to be cautious, experts say.

I have always been curious about the tree-golem-robot bowler. *nodnodnod*

A vibrant red octopus sculpture with many white spots, depicting the species Callistoctopus luteus, also known as the Starry Night Octopus.

The octopus is holding several tiny Swarovski crystals, sitting inside a shell. It is hand sculpted from clay and lovingly painted with acrylics. It is coated in epoxy resin for protection and shine.

It's being held up by the artist's left hand over a black background.

The evil eggs and hotdogs amuse me, especially when you pepper 'em and they dance in place. :)

G. SaDiablo @sadiablo.bsky.social · 10h

YES!

G. SaDiablo @sadiablo.bsky.social · 10h

Yup!
It's like higher-level math and physics. I can follow along and have intelligent conversation but as soon as the convo is over my brain promptly forgets it all.

Or philosophy, where I'm just super uninterested and would rather eat burritos and watch cartoons instead, lol.

I can't hang.

I've always wanted to be a Roman emperor.

G. SaDiablo @sadiablo.bsky.social · 10h

It's like (and forgive me for sounding arrogant) I am very intelligent, so slowing my brain down is painful to me. I can't do it for long. But that doesn't make people whose brains work slower than mine Lesser Than. Yanno?

That's the difference between having standards and snobbery to me.

G. SaDiablo @sadiablo.bsky.social · 10h

It is a fine line, agreed. And there's nothing wrong with reading "literature" if that's what you like! The problem arises when you think others are lesser for not enjoying it.

G. SaDiablo @sadiablo.bsky.social · 11h

So, I'm reading "You" and it's slow going because I have to take mental health breaks (eg, tonight I've mostly been coloring), but this is one thing that consistently bothers me about the book. The narrator is SUCH a snob. It pisses me off.

Panic! At The Airport (ft. Punished Cat Guy) @majima.club · 11h

The idea of literature as a category of writing above genre fiction is a tool created specifically to separate the “intellectual class” from the “lower class” that reads for fun and pleasure rather than as a chore

Tell me your most life-affirming literary opinion.

G. SaDiablo @sadiablo.bsky.social · 11h

YES!

I'm still so ANGRY about Carnivale! I really wanted to know how it played out!

G. SaDiablo @sadiablo.bsky.social · 11h

This looks like it would feel quite interesting and now I have the inexplicable urge to fling myself in a feed trough.

Is this just a Midwestern ball pit.

What is this strange custom of yeeting your womb fruit into a popcorn bowl.

Is this how killer children cults commence.

Becky is a Farm Gay and has no input as Oregon doesn't do this.

MIDWESTERNERS, PLZ EXPLAIN.

It is a room that seems to be filled with dried corn and inside of all of this dried corn is a sea of probably unwashed children.

And if you can get it (I don't know what's available on that platform), Marble Madness is a lot of fun.

Miniature, geographically-accurate US recreation in South Dakota, however big it needs to be so I can put my foot in the Grand Canyon.

A King Tut tomb for when I die (I always wanted to be mummified!).

A swimming pool that's miniature Mediterranean so I can stage ancient sea battles.

I have more.

lets say a wizard has cursed you with a lot of money. you are going to become permanently brain damaged simply by being in possession of so much money. the only way out of it is to spend a lot of money on something ridiculous and not at all useful

what would you buy to break the curse?

G. SaDiablo @sadiablo.bsky.social · 12h

And a stoplight, right in the middle. Of Nowhere.

I particularly like layering it with CB's "Ambrosious" and "Musk." Vanilla-amber-musk is my wheelhouse, lol.
