As I was getting my B12 shot today the nurse noted my upcoming birthday (not a milestone but a year away) and asked if I was excited.

MA'AM. I am in no way excited to turn this age. I am negatively excited.

I laughed and said, "Better than the alternative," because I'm now apparently my mother.

True redemption doesn’t usually involve an increase in power and influence for those redeemed, and we should be wary of those who try to gain those privileges from a pose of repentance.

Now I have to figure out how to turn off Gemini in Google Maps. Pretty soon most of my day will be spent removing AI from everything I use.

So Philip Glass just joined TikTok. He only has like 4 posts and they’re simply him in what I assume is his living room playing the piano. First comment on one I saw was β€œyour piano is too close to the fireplace, you’ll dry it out” and if that’s not the internet in a nutshell I don’t know what is.

Importantly they are planning to hire these people on 2 year contracts so what actually happened is they fired everyone so they could rehire them with worse working conditions and an easy revolving door with industry 🫩 πŸ”­

Considering running for public office on a platform that is: abolishing ICE, legalizing abortion, providing free, gender-affirming care to everyone who would like it, and getting rid of stupid time changes.

This week has been a month, and today has been a week, and I'm still not close to done, but in my head, I'm on the couch with junk food and a cold cocktail while watching Candyman (1992).
