Forgot my mask when I went to the church to show the third mold guy around and I came home with swollen lips. I didn't even touch anything or open the room that the guys yesterday found a bat in. 😭

Happy Year of the Fire Horse!
Also: numerologically, 2026 is a 10/1 year, which in tarot are represented by the Wheel of Fortune (her pendant) and the Magician—together symbolizing destabilization into agency.

My uterus is like a landlord. I'm glad that the old bastard shows up somewhat regularly to make sure that everything is working on the property, but dealing with it is a horrific uncomfortable pain the entire time.

It is ALWAYS a mechanical turk, it is ALWAYS human beings being pressured to do more work for less wages. Every single goddamn time.
MIT’s NANDA initiative found that 95% of generative AI deployments fail after interviewing 150 execs, surveying 350 workers, and analyzing 300 projects. The real “productivity gains” seem to come from layoffs and squeezing more work from fewer people not AI.
MIT report: 95% of generative AI pilots at companies are failing
There’s a stark difference in success rates between companies that purchase AI tools from vendors and those that build them internally.

I will never be able to tell all of my friends how much I love them, how happy I am to know them, how much they make life worth living. Not because of what they do for me, but because of what they share with me. If it's sad or if it's joy doesn't matter. I love all of them so much.

Holy shit I did not realize how gay Salem is. 😭 It's gayer here then the gayest place I've been before. Witchcraft really does bring out the queers in the best way.

I forgot to warn the AA meeting that rents the building that we're currently out of oil for heat. After their leaderish person and their treasurer were gems to me as I try and get the clerical shit in order.

If the planet is to survive, degrowth is necessary. Consumption must be reversed. We have to unmake choices that have been "inevitable" for centuries.
It has to be possible, or else millions of human beings die.
GenAI is not quite so dire a threat, but it is the same species of problem.

Seeing someone with an AI image as their pfp in my notifs liking a piece of my art is like suddenly finding a tick crawling on my arm. You serve no ecological purpose and must be purged.

Just showed my mom Everything Everywhere All at Once. I take a perverse delight in taking something that made me weep like a baby and showing to my generally stoic mother. I know it's kicking her in the heart just as hard if she's quietly tearing up and gripping my hand like a vice.

When will my wife return from the kitchen war? Will they love me when they return? What clothes do you think I can borrow that they won't notice? Do you think they'll be upset if I eat all our snacks? What devilry should I do while they aren't here? I HAVE SO MANY QUESTIONS. AND FEELINGS.
