I hate AI, hate crypto, hate bombing Iran, Gaza, Venezuela, hate privatisation, palantir, the fact that these guys name things "palantir", elon musk, space, "payment in compute", flying cars, hate CGI backgrounds, linkedin, golf courses, shein, doordash, Windows 11 and motion smoothing, and I vote

"poor man's tires, greenwood road, shreveport, louisiana, 1982"

A red brick building with piles of tires against both visible walls; the signage says "Poor Man's Tires, $5.00 to $20.00, fix flats $2.50"

"nashville tire service, nashville, tennessee, 1980," a gabled building painted an alarming safety yellow, kind of like a highlighter or Cliffs Notes: piles of tires again, "Wheels balanced $2.00, Flats fixed $1.50"

Pixar movie about a rubber ducky that has to leave the bath and explore the house outside the bathroom. They think the bath is their damn pond. The dog is probably squeaking on him. and he’s like oh brother. I’m getting too old for this quap

I hate that the sparkle icon is shorthand for AI. They want us to think it’s magic. Fuck you!!! Magic is when you lose a glob of mustard from your sandwich but it doesn’t land on you. When you win at 20 questions. Sparkles belong to Liberace. A baby’s smiling eyes. I will put you in the ground!!!!!!

If I thought I was at risk of getting disemboweled I would start an all bleach diet and then when they cut me open they’d be like whoa all white insides maybe we should put him back together

Found this picture from 2015; doing some kind of hair and skin care treatment here with Terry, onlooker

I miss Terr Bear but also what is it called when you wish you looked half as good as you did in the worst picture you took of yourself 10 years ago

today is mrs d's 10th cancer remission anniversary.

to my sisters, belovΓ©d mutuals, & friends here on bluesky, i urge you to check your breasts regularly for lumps & don't skip mammograms.

mrs d's lump was barely perceptible but it was malignant. she's alive today because of early detection.

Thanks for this reminder. I'm overdue. I'm so glad Mrs D is doing ok ❀️

2FA? Why stop there? 3 factor authentication! 10! A hundred factors! Ruin my fucking life every time I need to remember my routing number. Shoot my phone with a railgun if I try to open discord. Put a landmine in my bed. Kill me.
