My 2025 budget says I spent >2X as much last year on bills than 2024 due to medical problems, and last Friday, a New Related Problem began to surface. Today, I ask doctors about it!

My health impacts my ability to work.

“Then they shouldn’t have voted for this!”

Bitch, Asheville is a blue college town and the county has gone blue for decades. I am so sick of this “if I pretend disasters only happen to red areas, it means I’m safe because I’m properly on the left!” No. You’re not safe. That’s why we save everybody.

Okay, let me take a moment here to laud the glory of a @sephiramy.bsky.social commission.
sephiramy.bsky.social sephirAmy @sephiramy.bsky.social · Nov 17
✨🎉 commissions now OPEN!! 🎉✨

shoot me an email at [email protected] along with the type of commission you're interested in and a brief overview (2-3 sentences max) of the subject, and I'll get back to you with info on the next steps!

spots are limited for holiday completion (around Dec 10th) ✨
an image advertising some art commissions! these include a colorful girl with clouds for hair and a shimmery pink dress, a green scaled woman with even more green hair piled on her head with mushrooms and flowers, and a rogueish orc like man holding a bitten apple and wearing worn leather clothing. full bodies are $175usd, half bodies are $100usd, and bust shots are $65usd. the bottom text also assures I can do anthros, armor, highly detailed clothing, and other stuff too!

🚨HAPPY EXPLODING WHALE DAY🚨

1/n

www.oregonlive.com/travel/2024/...
Color image of a beach with ocean in background, sand foreground, some grassy cover in right lower corner. The sky seems clear-ish. In mid-ground near beach-water interface is a large explosion in sandy colors and also some red where untrained jackasses have used too much, and wrongly placed, dynamite in an effort to obliterate a rotting whale carcass. Rotting whale proceeded to rain upon the watching crowd and no one was injured. It is glorious.

This imagined defense by Cheney ("What I Got Right About the Iraq War") from The Onion in 2023 ought to run as a sidebar to every obit that's published this week: is.gd/mzdB9j
It's easy for armchair critics to condemn the Iraq War. But you have to remember what things were like back in 2003. People actually trusted the government and had faith in the idea of America, Trust and faith aren't very sturdy things to build a perpetual war machine on, and they don’t make alot of money, either. The Iraq War eroded faith in the government and drove more Americans into suspicion and hatred, just as we hoped it would. Combine that with rising inequality and the American cult of the individual, and you have a perfect recipe for ensuring that most Americans are too disillusioned to mount collective resistance to any governmental transgressions. That's what I always hoped the Iraq War might accomplish, and man, it fels good to be right.

Just downloaded/installed/used the ✨completely free✨ "O&O ShutUp10++," and disabled a lot of the spyware/phone home/surveillance aspects of my Windows PC.

Clean, compact, quick. Single .exe, no install, one-click "disable recommended" option. Great program.

New #tech thing if you use the Firefox browser!
malorienilson.com malorie @malorienilson.com · Aug 30
Just a heads up to anyone using Firefox:
Text reads: Mozilla, in its finite wisdom, embedded LLM bots into recent versions of Firefox for the vitally-important purpose of... naming tab groups. Now, some users are noticing CPU and power usage spikes caused by a background process called Inference. Ugh. Reminder again for Firefox users to visit your about:config page, search for the browser.ml.chat.enabled key, and set that to false: Displayed is a screenshot of Firefox showing the config search bar with the listed search. The word "false" is circled in red. Text continues: If yours says true then double-click it until it reads false. Doing that turns off the Al chatbot features in Firefox, but also the stupid new LLM tab-naming feature that's rolling out.
