Pretty sure that John Cleese blocked me on Twitter. He was posting about how reprehensible the shift toward political correctness was or something. I pointed out that that's easy to say when you wouldn't really be the one suffering if it just went away.

I might start drawing again. I haven't drawn by hand in almost seventeen years. For a few years in between I did do digital art but I used a mouse for that. I suppose it's going to take a while to shed the rust, and I should not get disappointed by how appalling my skills have become.

Yeah. Walter has moments when *he* thinks he's super cool, sure. But I could only see him as a bitter man with a chip on his shoulder, whose fragile ego and insecurities pushed him deeper and deeper into ruin. His whole story was a car crash in slow motion.

I used to Google random stuff. It was fun. Now I'm literally afraid to, because I don't want it to suddenly affect my YouTube recommendations. No, Google, I *don't* want to watch videos related to medieval shoes. I was curious *once* for two fucking minutes.

Is duck duck go the only alternative?

Or a tactic which works for them often. When doing something nefarious that actually does damage, start a distraction which has the potential to divert public attention. Something that would get people riled up without costing them much. When starting wars, get the news to talk about college sports.

Black and white picture with the silhouette of a man with a cane standing near a bench under the branches of a leafless tree.

We hear the footsteps
From those leather boots each night;
Grandpa never left.

A thought shattered
As I fell asleep.
Into a million shards
With sharp edges
That cut into my dreams-
That night, till I woke up
Aching, and unwilling,
To a reality that bled grey.

Poster for the French horror series Marianne on Netflix. It shows an older woman wearing a dirty looking blindfold with a black cross at the center. She has scars on her face and is smiling.

A very poorly made horror film can be more depressing than half decent drama.
