Short term: I feel bad for too many people to mention. Anyone on his revenge tour, trans individuals, free press, Ukraine...the list is immeasurable.

Long term: Multiple future generations are fucked. Full control of the house/senate for two years and nobody willing to stand up to him. Sickening.

Random Marten tech post:

That moment when you realize you haven't run Handbrake in a while, go into your local record drive for Twitch and see you haven't ran it in a month.

Oops. Things to do post-stream today. Time for the computer to get its workout done.

Obligatory random social media post.

....hmm. Exquisite pain when you cut your fingernails too short and then try to open your energy drink can. Talk about annoying.

That qualifies as random enough.

Out shopping today for closet hardware before the chiropractor, and hear someone pricematching Amazon on a PS5 controller.

Decided to buy one for myself...can retire the very very old PS4 one now.

Little things. And already have an idea in mind to break it in.

Rough day today. Rough conversation with moms.

"Look, if you don't tell me when something is wrong, I'm going to wake up one morning and you're going to be gone."

I understand why I never tell anyone when something is wrong with me. It's genetic.

Said friend who will remain nameless:

Him: "I got recommended a porn video game in my feed today."

Me: "Not surprised."

Him: "It looked like a lets play."

Me: "Why would anyone watch a lets play of a porn game?"

Him: "To have both hands free?"

Me: "..........................................."

A few things from today and "balance":

Costco on Mondays is not terrible. Got what I needed, got out quickly.

Cleaned the house and cleaned out the pantry.

The balance:

Turned on the news.

Had a conversation with an old acquaintance that makes me wonder how he's still alive.

A new social media platform to take my eyes away from what the other one has become.

Here's to a fresh start and some better times for all of us.
