Okay, my follower count and mix on here is now such that I need to say this:
If you know me in real life, no you don't.
If you saw me at a place I can routinely be found, no you didn't.
Thank you for understanding.

I changed my meds in the hope that I could be less dopey in the morning.
So far, what is happening instead is a dramatic failure to go the fuck to sleep in the first place.

My comrades and I will take 1000 tickets for the Phil Ochs biopic, please.
One of my crackpot theories is that music biopics work best with moderately famous musicians.
e.g., I'd way rather watch a biopic of Bob Seger than Bob Dylan.

I was pleasantly surprised when furries started coming back around as a subculture. People don't understand that most furries are smart, queer, and politically educated. The number of purple foxes who work at NASA may surprise you. It's definitely gonna surprise this Republican.
""I'd heard of furries, but to be honest, I didn't think they were real. Then one filed to run against me for Congress," stated the email. "Samuel Smeltzer, whose furry name is Elyon Badger, announced he's running against me, in costume, on a far left progressive platform.""
'The furries are coming for me!' GOP lawmaker turns heads with odd fundraising pitch

I have a story about this story.
In my teen scene, there was a guy named Bobby Hackney. The scene was so small, and he was so good, he was in multiple bands. I went to one show where he was in *every* band.
I knew my punk history. But I did not realize at the time that he was Bobby Hackney...Jr.

54 years ago
A band called 'Death' was punk before punk was punk
Formed in November 1971 by the 3 Hackney brothers, they were influential pioneers of the genre and, along with Pure Hell, the first all-black proto-punk/punk band.

I sincerely hope that this is one in a string of heists in secret preparation for a wild annual Theives' Gala held in an abandoned church.
Thieves have stolen €90,000 worth of fine French snails destined for some of the country’s most prestigious restaurants

Apparently, while writing this particular chapter, I was obsessed with the word "shiny." Everything is shiny.
Everything needs to stop being shiny. Get dull and be damned.

O and I had a conversation about Inspector Gadget.
He did the Dr. Claw voice, trying to say "Don't judge a book by its cover," which somehow devolved into him doing the Batman voice and "You know what they say: Don't read a book."

The Salvation Army bell ringers are out. I thought this year instead of just ignoring them (rude) I would print out a little card outlining my issues with the organization.
I started by copying and pasting the wikipedia "controversies" section.
IT IS SIX PAGES LONG.
Gonna have to trim this.

I have participated in the creeping menace that is "Black Friday" sales.
I left some jeans in my cart for a month to see if it would go on sale for the holidays. They did, and I bought them. I feel kinda gross about it. But in my defense, it was the only way I could afford 97% denim.

If we're doing Hot Pie Takes, here's mine: No pie is worth the effort. Just make the filling and eat it with a spoon. You can put crumbly stuff on top if you want.
Apple pie is bad. This is not really debatable. So is key lime pie, while we’re on the topic. Pecan pie is the 🐐 tho.

Doing more writing than cutting today, thanks in part to a note I left myself at 2 AM and then had to decipher this morning.

Got another ai slop "Your book is so good! BuY oUR PrOMo pAckAge!!!" email today.
I was going to read and mock it, but then I realized it's so long it's very nearly a novella.
If people are doing to use LLMs to run scams, can they at least teach them when to shut the fuck up?
