I take back everything reasonable I said during the SFWA debate. Until we have regulations in place on this monster shit, I am unreasonable. I am reactionary. I am anti-progress.

Big Tech is offering you a Faustian bargain. It promises to remove all the friction from life, to keep you from having to think or study, and the result is your brain will become pudding, you’ll become incapable of creativity or communication. They want to make you a non-person.

I didn't understand what was so terrible about these graphs. This year seems more or less in line with the others?
Until I finally noticed the grey all the way down at the bottom of every graph. Oh. Shit.
We still mask, but this is even more stark than I thought.

Zipper on my snow boots broke 2 weeks ago and I haven't done anything about it yet. Time to find out how well the inadequate rain boot soles handle unevenly cleared residential sidewalks. Life with ADHD makes everything an adventure!

My divorce probably saved my life; not because he was violent (although I wouldn't be particularly surprised if he'd got there eventually), but because over the last several years my migraines gradually increased in frequency until it was every damn day.
you can be the most reasonable, intelligent, measured person on the planet and 3 minutes of a migraine will have you looking longingly at a drill and considering whether trepanning was honestly that bad of an idea

I told my kid when she was about 4 that she wasn't allowed to play until she was 12, mostly b/c I hoped it would be gone or uncool by then, but if not at least it'd be easier to explain why.
Alas, getting her hooked on good games wasn't enough so I have to keep on being more ornery than her.
