Where do you see yourself in 5 years?

I don't know, probably dying of starvation or radiation poisoning. I like to keep my options open.

You've got to pick up every stitch

Oh no, must be the season of the lich!

I got 2 Heltec V3 Meshtastic nodes. They are neat but I can't pick up any other nodes in my area, which makes them pretty useless. Now I have to learn basic radio engineering to figure out how to build a stronger antenna, I guess.

I'm torn between saving money to buy some homesteading land, or spending money stocking up on supplies for the Great Depression 2.0.

I spend a lot of time looking for places to order stuff online that aren’t Amazon. The most frustrating part is that I will very often order something direct from a manufacturer’s website and then see in the shipping confirmation email that it’s being delivered by… Amazon Shipping.

Maybe, but not as much as the words of his own Secretary of State's supports the narrative. Rubio literally said we had to attack Iran because Israel was going to attack them. Israel has been trying to get a US President to do this for decades.

I don’t care what anyone says, beanie babies are not real babies.

Looks like Cory Booker being a grandstanding phony, as usual.

Whatcha gonna do, when Hulkamania* runs wild on you!?

*Hulkamania, in this usage, is defined as rampant job loss due to AI and corporate greed.

I prefer the original ChatGPT.

You know, they used to say “gun’s don’t kill people, people kill people” but thanks to AI, we are going to make guns that actually do kill people.

Here's another way to think about it: fuck engagement. Our lives don't have to revolve around marketing terms.

I enjoy Bluesky but it is not as decentralized as a lot of people think. I hope it doesn't enshitify, but its venture capital funding is fairly opaque so my trust is limited. It's still mostly decentralized in theory only, while Mastodon is decentralized in fact.

Oh.

The NTY exists to sanitize neocon ideology and sell it to liberals.

Look, the #IranWar can’t drag on much longer, because we have a war with #Cuba scheduled for next month.

Bluesky absolutely has an algorithm to shove content into your eyeballs. That's what the "Discover" tab is, and that's why it's the default view.

Oh I don't just go back and rewrite chapters. I go back and start over from scratch, haha

I’ve been working on my novel for more than 30 years. I’m sure I’ll have a first draft ready sometime in the next 30 years. #Writing

Introducing Quantum Vinegar You know it's good because it has Quantum in the name.

Forget about OpenAI, Anthropic, and all those other pretenders. Quantum Vinegar will give you what you really want out of an AI.

There is a 0% chance of anything like that happening. Even if dems can overcome all the election shenanigans and get back into power, they won't do shit. They are too fucking spineless.

Apologies to Rev Jesse Jackson but a quit actually is a type of blanket.

I think you might be mistaken about people here not needing to here those things. Personally I feel a bit insane right now when I think about the state of things. It's nice when I hear a measured person weigh in on current affairs, just so I know I'm not totally nuts.

Fuck Ice Mountains I was out hiking when I saw these strange mountains...

It's been a minute since I've done any drawing. I had this idea and had to do it. #Art #Drawing #Ink

Oh yeah? Well my site runs on Node, and I manage it with my own custom CMS.
