I encountered all these phenomena in LA too. Driving on the wrong side to bypass congestion was always so jarring.

Remind me, what is the end goal for all the anti-vaccinery? I honestly have lost the thread for these psychos. They just want people to be desperate and sick and dying? Do they want the vaccines just for themselves, and no one else to have them?

I don’t want to feel like I deal with things alone.

Just so I don’t feel alone.

I got really excited to go to this rock shop, but then realized itβ€˜s the Hard Rock Hotel Shop… and they are no rocks I want in there.

I'm gonna start an ASMR for scientists (and everyone else) where I just calmly whisper, "Vaccines do not cause autism," and other things that are also true.

Spending 5 days at the Society for Neuroscience annual meeting has turned my brain to moosh. But, like, good moosh.

A side effect of having a kid who never sees toy commercials (bc all we do is watch Netflix) is that her Xmas list is things that straight up DO NOT EXIST.

A digital poster in the style of a World War II propaganda piece. Isolaed on a yellow background, a normal, squarish, 20-something guy with glasses is sitting working on a laptop. A ghostly figure of Hitler has his arm around the guy and is grinning and shaking a fist triumphantly looking at the laptop screen. On the lid of the laptop where an apple might otherwise be is an openAI logo, bright green, and dripping green ooze down the lid. Text on the poster, in combinations of sans-serif type and brush script reads: 
Using Generative AI?
You’re prompting with Hitler!
GenAI is a Fascist Project!
Try using your brain instead
Don’t surrender your creativity to the tech billionaire’s control

Daughter is going to school dressed as Fionna from Adventure Time, so I'm making her a needle-felted Cake to bring with her. So far I've only stabbed myself once!

A photo shows a dog wearing sunglasses. A headline reads: take it easy. A caption under the headline say: fuck your job. Money is fake. Society isn’t natural. And the sun is going to explode.

In fact, I long thought that our obsession with WWII was a cultural longing for such a ridiculous, simple enemy to defeat. I didn’t realize some people were actually admiring the Nazis… I mean, I’ll admit I can be naive but SHIT.

I grew up watching Indiana Jones and learning basic history in school, so… I really thought β€œNazis are the bad guys” had reached consensus.
