Some odd grumpiness, sometimes involving fountain pens, ttrpgs, and the absurdity

If true AI ever actually occurs, it will not be evil because it is inherently so, but because it is built by those who think of people as things.

Sometimes I think back to being a little kid wondering why anyone would walk anywhere when they could run or skip. And then my mid 40s knees go, "listen here you little shit."

It is with deepest sincerity that I remind you all, peaches come from a can.

As the new year starts I reflect on all the creative projects I've started and on the fresh batch decision paralysis to look forward to in the coming months

It's not officially a Missouri Christmas until my dad is standing in the middle of the street listening to the neighbors scream at each other

If you ever think that scientists are serious academics who don't do stupid shit, remember that Mastodon means boob-tooth

Boomers will watch their kids become homeless while they have more than one home & take expensive vacations. They do this, I've seen it.

I know I'm depressed when I find myself eating Ritz crackers and writing graduate statistics homework exercises while crying and blasting 25 year-old Crazy Town songs at 11pm on Tuesday

This is to be remembered, always. For the vast majority of us, kindness and community is the default, not the exception. Cruelty takes more effort to maintain than the simple wish to live and let live. Fear is a divider, yes, but it requires constant reaffirmation not to simply burn away.

The hospital texted me a $14,000 bill on Thanksgiving morning, truly the US is the greatest country on Earth

OMG please tell me Foreigner is not featured in the new season of Stranger Things.

When people say everything was cooler in the 80s, I just point to Foreigner.

I propose we shorten person to indicate someone without having to specify gander. No "that guy", etc. That pers

having to have my head chocked to the side so I can read my phone screen with my polarized sunglasses on is an annoyance I've never been able to get over

Used 67 on my daughter and she got angry and forbade me "ever using it again in this house." So, successful dadding this morning.

Was just told by my daughter that listening to loud angry music to drown out my brain so I can think is not normal. I'll come up with a rejoinder after I turn on some music.

Getting dinner ready. Wondering why the hell the water isn't coming to a boil. Everything else ready. Water still hasn't boiled. Stare at it for a good 10 min more before noticing that I never turned the burner on. Attention is sometimes lacking in me.

I don't understand people who do Christmas shopping early. If I find something to buy someone I'm going to give it to them now because I'm excited to give them something I think they'll love. Any more than two weeks ahead and they're getting it now, not waiting for a silly holiday.
