Freeborn

I also bite some of the people I meet.

The curse of the werewolf does exist, although it is quite different from the mythological concept of a man transforming into a ravenous beast during a full moon, only to hunt his loved ones. No, this curse is even more terrible than that. It lies in the excruciating frustration of fulfilling the deepest and most irrational desire possible: to leave behind the human condition and constraints, to prowl the wild with skilled feet, guided by keen senses, and intimately accompanied by kindred beings. It is more than just the desire to be free, capable, and not alone; it is a primal summons to return to nature, immerse in nature, and become nature. This deep and unattainable desire will accompany the cursed soul for the rest of its long and unsatisfactory life; and no degree of personal achievements, wealth, and even loved ones will take away the pain from this unfulfilled desire. This is my curse.

Wrote this long time ago, hate that it still true.

I was real good at it, had it on PC, still have it actually. Never got past the swamp level, you had to like do a thing the taught you to not do.

I liked Earthworm Jim.

I am letired of working on this!

I *really* don’t understand the physics, but this plays nicely with my internal understanding of water from years of handling ice trays, walking on it, melting it, watching lakes freeze and expand, knowing how dangerous super pure water is to me,

Ohhhhh. I hosted a Mumble back in the day, back when disabling local root would stop the script kiddies from getting to you through DDNS. Mumble was nice and simple and had epic voice quality.

Feeling stupid. Are you a part time weasel now?

I’m in an autoshop waiting room while they fix my breaks.

I’m on my work laptop, VPN’d into the mothership, and I’m getting so much work done. Which is depressing.

Not sure if it’s a just break from the office or if hearing people talk around me while I’m in an uncomfortable chair is the problem.

Oooooh listening to that one at work a lot too. It’s a great VERY DEEP FOCUS set.

A social media post from “Republicans against Trump” showing Donald Trump speaking at a podium in front of multiple American flags. The caption quotes him saying, “You gotta win the midterms. Because if we don’t win the midterms, I’ll get impeached.”

Challenge accepted.

Oooh Conventional Boy was awesome. I’ve reread it a few times now.

Reminds me of a few stories by this dude @qntm.org

I went to #fursquared and a guy told me I was way too thick to put it in. Worst con ever.

I just really like iridescent stuff.

Heck that is true. A while back I tried talking to a guy who was ranting about dying internet theory, what he was saying was basically true but from a deep-state angle. I told him he was almost there, I’d just read Corey Doctorow’s work and cited sources and he could to, the dude lost interest fast.

Oh heck, I know that feel. I’m slightly bored, falling asleep, then a great banger of a story idea is in my head. I will forget it if I sleep. Better take an hour or two to write it all down and destroy a good habit sleep schedule, again.

Even Scrubs had an episode on this

a sign that says “A COMPUTER CAN NEVER BE HORNY OR SAD THEREFORE A COMPUTER MUST NEVER MAKE AN ARTISTIC DECISION”

A gilt Maschinenbär stands ready. False Dax or the real steel? Edited version of art of a Maria style robot panda drawn by Doomington. Themes in Metropolis of blurring the lines between people and machines have only become more relevant.

This art went down with Cohost, so it's up on FA, too.

In 2023, I asked @doomington.bsky.social for a piece commemorating entry of Metropolis into the public domain and dang did he deliver. #DaxThrowbacks ✨

A bunch of microsoft logos from the 70s, 80s, 90s and today but instead of saying Microsoft all of them spell Microslop in the vibe of the original logos.

It's fascinating to see the changes in one company's logo over the years.

Four years of waking up and choosing you every morning 💛

Happy anniversary, sweetheart!!!

This Brazilian woman hates AI

This extremely sums up my feelings and thoughts that I’ve been having for a few years now.

Besides the obvious autocomplete fallacy with LLMs, the other problem is using one to complete a task for me doesn’t save any time, even if they worked.

Summarize this pdf. Great, but I didn’t learn anything and can’t apply the content, so I still have to read it. Why is this a time saver?

I was gunna point out how the C64 had this membrane keyboard that wears out (ask me how I know).

Then I used my eyeballs and read a little more. Cool. Yes, sounds very good.
