I wrote a story in the year 1999 with that lame ass joke.

I was 20 though.

Red Flag Alert - Anti-Trans Genocide in the USA - #3 | Lemkin Institute

The Lemkin Institute has issued a *THIRD* trans genocide warning, noting the next stage is widespread containment - and this was before the 4th Circuit ruled today that states can essentially do whatever they want to make trans people "appreciate their sex".

You know, I think a Mid by Midwest Fest would be better.

I just want to point out that the same payment processors who hassle sex workers and erotica producers will gladly process any bets you want to make on war crimes.

I re-watched Gung-Ho (1986).

I mean I like the story and all but do the stereotypes and such ruin it? Especially since I remembered it a little fondly.

I don't know. Just re-engaging with old media is weird. Especially if you were too young to understand political tensions at the time.

"You could never make Blazing Saddles now-a-days."

"Please! That's--"

"Partly because Cleavon Little and Gene Wilder are dead."

Don't expect new gender affirming feels lately... So a nice surprise.

I don't know if this is a good idea, but is it the point where protests should focus on is getting every last one of those fuckers to resign.

I mean they are true Hollywood rejects.

Oh God is that the joke?

Republican politics is just acting for people who watch their news.

I bet someone smarter than me has made some kind of WWF analogy....

I'm watching the Ted show. It's hitting a lot of pop culture memories.

If you paint the toenails of a dog, but just the front set, is it a mani, pedi, or something else? I mean besides "silly".

Nobody at that place wants that kind of energy back at them like I've been trying to keep at bay.

I cancelled doing standup tonight.

I have been getting stress migraines. It's work it's personal stuff and it's fucking the entire fucking world.

They frequently have stockpiles of food. Mormon friend of mine says it's related to something they're taught in their religion.

I can't wait for online bro culture to be understood as gay like leather culture in the 80s is now.

It's a twisted homophobic gay mess, nevertheless.

I know a lot of this is harmed by our energy consumption... Which is why distribution of small scale energy creation is vital as close as possible to the source of use. Wind, solar, nuclear... fusion ideally of course (20 years from now, still)

Meh.

Things would be different if I was in charge.

It's hard to be interested in the tech and underlying ideas, even when you think broadly about this (e.g. a non scammy crypto, if at all possible).

And the "open source" folks are ok. But honestly I do not want my AI to be my girlfriend.

I want it to answer the questions and turn on the lights when i say and my hands are full. That's all.

If I run AI, I want it in my own box. If I want AR, I do not want anyone else besides me and my personal network (like my own [in all senses] computers) knowing what I see.

I want this shit. I just want it to not suck ass. Which they all seem incapable of doing.
