How To Fight A Military Occupation Friction. Obstruction. Demoralization.

2. Friction

If you find yourself face to face with an armed thug who wants you do to do something -- as part of your job, as a law-abiding citizen, whatever, ask yourself: what would the most incompetent fool in the universe do in this situation? Then do that

Having anxiety is so embarrassing like what do you mean I think I’m in Big Trouble™️ because in two separate meetings, people asked me to stay on and it was literally just to talk about normal work stuff

For literal ~years~, my friend Brian has been offering to share his Plex library with me. The only obstacle? Me clicking on a link in an email.

Today, that journey comes to an end. The catalyst? Wanting to see the forbidden IASIP episodes.

One of my fondest memories from high school is when my classmate put those tiny rubber bands on every bracket of his braces and when the substitute teacher checked in, he said, “My orthodontist said I had to do it like this.”

Today I used a public restroom that smelled so bad, I realized I wouldn’t survive traveling to the distant past because if everything smelled like that on a regular basis, I’d lose any remaining grasp of reality.

lol just kidding, I canceled my @paramountplus.com account because of the @stephencolbert.bsky.social news. If a company is willing to go this far to appease a petty tyrant who is truly the worst thing to happen to our country, I’m not interested in giving them my money.

I met Channing Tatum at a funeral home in Madison, WI while he was filming “Public Enemies”. They were taking photos of him on the slab after his character was killed and needed a fountain pen to fill out his toe tag. I had one in my bag from an art project with brown ink. Got to keep the toe tag.

This is approximately 3,000 times better than the ChatGPT poem. I will read it to Gizmo when he wakes up.

Birthday poem for Gizmo the Westie, on top of a photo of Gizmo. Heading: Happy birthday Gizmo! Poem: Gizmo, the terrier of glee, Only two, but full of glee, Bouncing around, wild and free! White fluff ball with endless cheer, Spread joy, have no fear, Gizmo, our happiness pioneer. Zooming through the house, crazy blur, Making hearts warm and spirits stir, Gizmo, our little adventurer.

Gizmo’s 2nd birthday was on Tuesday and his Fi tracking app had ChatGPT write a poem. Starting it off by rhyming “glee” with “glee” is a bold choice.

@paramountplus.com You should add the option to play RENO 911! episodes in random order.

You could do it for other shows too, but RENO 911! should get it first.

Guess I’ll just shitpost through it.

Here’s a free idea: if you’re looking to a name a beagle, why not Sméagol?

(Autocorrect added the accent. Nice job, Apple.)

Today we’re launching like six months of work, and it’s my first launch as solo PO. So this is what’s happening in my 🧠:
ADHD/Anxiety: DO SOMETHING
Me: There’s nothing urgent for me to do, other than be available!!!!
A/A: ARE U SURE?!
Me: Yes!!
A/A: THEN MAKE SOMETHING UP
