my neighbor recently expressed surprise that I loathe Elon Musk. for him he's the savior of the world, with his groundbreaking work in overpriced and over hyped electric vehicles and monkey-killing implants. my neighbor loves having a billionaire to worship

oh, the faux-butthurt mods at Stack Exchange wrote me a sad and vaguely threatening email about my having deleted my answers from their site (which i did because they partnered with OpenAI).

i revised and expanded my initial response ("go fuck yourselves") and hopefully improved upon it. i'm still mad tho! time to take a walk.

when I'm on vacation, as I am now, my patience for useless argument and outrage on the fedi goes from "barely any" to "absolutely none".

I don't mind waiting in line if the thing I'm waiting for is worth it. what bugs me about waiting in line is the people around me, usually male, loudly and constantly performing impatience. stamping about, grunting, walking to the front of the line, muttering "unbelievable".

drives me insane.

I hate when people continue to call it Twitter, and I also hate when people give in to calling it X. then I realized I just want never to hear it mentioned again in polite society as long as I live

one of the strangest and most unexpected things about living in is that, even in 2024, occasionally you get an urgent warning about the city preparing to disarm a WWII bomb.

watched the first two episodes of . amazing, excellent, minimalist storytelling in a richly imagined world. every two minutes I recognize another influence on this work, but it is a thoughtful dense remixture and something quite original at the same time. can't wait for the rest.
