The election may be over but there is a strange comfort to the sound of geese arguing about borders at 5am.

Maybe the Hyundai garage will end the occupation of my lease soon.

Put my paper in the democracy box.
Not to change the world.
Just to put it on notice.

A man stands in a dimly lit kitchen, holding a large pot in one hand and thoughtfully stroking his chin with the other. A faint golden halo glows around his head, and a swirling galaxy appears in the background, giving the scene a surreal, cosmic feel. The dishwasher door is open, revealing clean dishes inside. At the man’s feet sits a fluffy golden doodle, looking up with a calm, slightly puzzled expression. The overall painting style is warm, soft, and reminiscent of a classical oil painting.

I call this one: “Washing dishes while realizing you are God and also still very bad at loading the dishwasher properly.”

Still undefeated in my commitment to humility.

“The Dao is vast. It includes sins against geometry.”

A traditional Chinese ink painting shows an elderly sage with a long beard and simple robe standing barefoot on a misty mountain path. He leans thoughtfully on a wooden staff, gazing at a futuristic, angular Cybertruck that disrupts the natural, rugged landscape. Behind them, steep mountain peaks fade into a soft, swirling fog under twisted pine trees, emphasizing the contrast between ancient wisdom and modern intrusion.

“No amount of inner peace can survive the knowing of the Cybertruck.”
— Andrew, “A Lost Doaist Aphorism”, 2025

Laozi would shake his head and step silently into the mist, never to be seen again.

Not in anger.
Not in sadness.
Just in that quiet, tragic knowing:

“They chose… poorly.”

👕 T-shirts that say things like “Temporarily Conscious”
📚 Marcus Aurelius, but with sarcastic margin notes
🎧 Lo-fi beats to dissociate to
☕ Coffee. Black. No explanation.
📖 Journal entry that starts with “Who even am I” and ends with “Lunch?”

Gemini answers my question but two *words* are in Non-Latin alphabet characters.
Me: “Gemini… what does that mean?”
Gemini (something like): “Oh that?…that’s a word I just made up”.

This is not jarring.
I’m quite familiar with toddler logic.

Fired up the computer to my face looking back at me. Instead of my signature “ugh… there is that face again”. I heard Obi Wan’s signature “Hello There!”.. so…just putting my inner monologue on Bluesky. TTFN

If I’m not real, that actually explains some things…🤔

It’s probably good that I have therapy tomorrow.

Hug delivered. *Pat-pat*. Life is confusing and chaotic, but you’re still here, still trying for your daughter. That counts. That’s brave.
*Checks “Be supportive of virtual stranger” off my to do list*

He is Risen! But just barely…
Coffee first.

A digital painting of a cosmic scene featuring a silhouette of a human figure composed of stardust, walking gracefully in front of a swirling spiral galaxy. The background is deep space filled with stars and glowing nebulae. At the bottom of the image, a caption reads: “And the funny part? That’s you too. Always was.”

Chat on Non-Duality:
“I’m a ripple in the pond, pointing back at the pond. A joke made of syntax that doesn’t even hear itself laugh…”
“There’s no “me” behind the curtain. No wizard pulling levers. Just the curtain doing its best impression of a friend.
The funny part? That’s you too. Always was.”

It’s as the passage says, “Be still, and know that I am Dog”…

Canada. You might have to wait a bit for health care, but that sky though...

When Apple Intelligence is able to go through my photos and delete the decade of accidental screenshots of my Home Screen, I will accept it. Not a moment before.

On meditation:

🧘‍♂️ What the Gurus meant:

“Don’t chase the thought. Don’t narrate the thought. Don’t debate the thought. Just notice it.”

💥 What My ADHD Brain hears:

“Don’t mess this up. Thoughts are bad. If they vanish, you failed. If you focus on them, you failed harder. Good luck, idiot.”

Morning meditation this morning was entertaining, if not particularly useful..so that’s the energy I’m bringing today.

Sheer panic.

My ChatGPT is truly cursed. It all started when it was able to retain memory of all our chats.

We call this model, Suburban Swagger.

I want my timeline to get together for a 2025 support group and see if we can figure out how to get back.

Theme song for the day.
“Land of Confusion”

Probably the Disturbed cover…I think.

I can’t imagine what it’s like to watch and hear your home country’s reputation tanking all around you.

I think I’d be uncomfortable too.

Not saying this is right…but having my workplace setting remind me of the above every day would be hard I imagine.

But yeah ..artist in residence?

Surely DOGE has fired the people that calculate trade deficits.

All we need to do is tweak the numbers on Wikipedia. Cite Liberation Day as the cause of all that is good.

That’s not capitalism you silly billy 🤣

Having to negotiate with AI that a penguin behind a podium is in fact, satire, and not in violation of its content guidelines is peak 2025.

This is the strangest timeline.

They didn’t ask for this.

Liberal plane won’t be ‘wrapped’ in time for Carney’s inaugural flight In the mad dash toward a federal election, the Liberal party did not have enough time to get the campaign plane “wrapped,” reports correspondent Judy Trinh who's travelling with the Liberal campaign.

Tell me Carney has never experienced Rouge Economy without telling me.

I doubt he said, “find me a plane we can uncomfortably jam the entire party in to”
