LO-ORBIT PRESS ( aka Curtis )

Finished Baldur's Gate, wow that was a lot.

I honestly don't get why average Republicans are so threatened by the concept of a protest. I know their media bubble creates this myth of protest=riot, but it's just so fucking dumb it's hard to believe so many people swallow that.

I am killing it this morning, if by "it" you mean my soul.

Uhhh it was a Honeywell something something.

I just know that if I learn it, I will end up being IT support for someone somehow. It's always how it works.

I want to extend my wifi into the garage so I can use my little workshop as an actual office for freelance, but I really don't want to learn how internet shit actually works. I've managed to avoid all of that as much as possible.

Good day to remind everyone on the East Coast that they need to recognize their blind spots* to Native life.

So is the entire budget for ICE going to end up going to pay lawsuits and damages in like a few years?

A cool stick!

They are in charge! They wanted to be in charge!

Got fancy air purifier with a cleanable filter for the house cuz my asthma has been bad. I think it's helping!

Walking into a big (new to me) comics store on a road trip the smell of ink and paper hit me with a wave of nostalgia so intense.

All these ghouls want so much money and power and zero responsibility that goes with it. It's not up to us to all of us consumers and plebs to save the world. It would be a slight inconvenience for a couple hundred extremely priveleged folks.

Screenshot from Columbo. He his talking to his dog, which is sitting is the drivers seat of a car. “Okay, I’m gonna put you in charge. You take care of the car. You’re a responsible dog. When I get back, if the car’s okay, I’ll give you another cookie.”

“If the car’s gone,”

“I’ll give you another cookie anyway”

“because I love you.”

Happy Columbo’s Day

He's pissed off all the right people

Really thinking about a major pruning of parasocial relationships online, mostly fb and insta where I have all these people I met at a friend's party a decade ago who like never bothered to know my name.

Short Milwaukee trip was fun, didn't have too much time to see much, but Val had a good show at an old bar and I saw their version of axman.

So weird to be on a text-based social media with people who have atrocious reading comprehension but are also very longwinded

Speaking of chai and its relationship to pumpkin spice...here's another fun fact:

My boss: so how's our fourth quarter looking?

Me, the sales manager at the company that makes inflatable frog suits: well, you're never going to believe this, but

Sorry I've been depressed about this stuff for too long it's escaping containment.

I guess just the idea that most people can't tell the difference between interpolation by linear algebra and real creativity is so depressing.

They should just give him a new fake one, like make up a special category called 'great cool guy, good job!' he wouldn't know the difference or care.

It's like you know this is a product designed to *fake* creative production and you think you're a creative now? Aww jeez bud, you still don't even know what that even means.

The most offensive thing about gen ai is how it creates this weird simulation of creativity. Seeing people get all excited about their new 'abilities' without any actual creative process is like so creepy. It's like watching someone talk about being in love with a fake love-bot. It's sad and cringe.
