you ever just play boadicea by enya out of the speakers on your phone while lying in bed
i'm a rando on the internet but your art brings me joy
the novel: "a waving black pedipalp coated in dark hairs forces its way out through Hilton's left eye"
me: "what's a pedipalp?"
*searches*
me:
if i dropped dead tomorrow at least i wouldn't have to deal with work anymore
scott: could it be from "i, robot"?
me: nah, the tunnels in "i,robot" are oval shaped
*beat*
me: WHY DO I KNOW THAT?! how in any way is that information useful to me
adobe prices have become a joke. that coupled with having to commit to an annual subscription basically guarantees me dropping the products this year. time to learn some alternatives i guess. or just give up entirely.
good friendships can only offset so much of the shit hole my life is
i had 2 good weeks and now i'm miserable again
i wish movies with flashbacks would stop putting a "present day" subtitle when returning from the flashback. present day? when was this film shot? do i need to imdb the release date now so i can figure out the time difference between the flashback and the "present" that was actually 30 years ago?
i discovered your work in 2025 and it was both enjoyable to see but also a boon to my own creativity so thanks!
not me going to bed every night and laying there doing the mental math on the percentage of my time off that has gone by (18.75%)
i want that entire fit (unfamiliar with the band tho)
damn yakuza / like a dragon games. everytime i say definitively that i don't like a character, or i will never like them, or that they can't be redeemed, they go and make me like them. those bastards.
. @echochlo.com out here reminding us we've been putting up baby numbers when it comes to hate
(bsky for the love of good increase your file size limits, time limits, and file upload speeds)
me: "looks like it's just one stick of ram that might be fucked. good thing a stick of ram is one of the cheapest things to repl-"
*sees prices*
me: "what happened?"
scott: "ai"
Feeling extra festive and grateful for the snowy weather this season. It's something I didn't know how much I missed until I had it again. A little Yule Log animation to celebrate and share the magic ๐ฅ๐

why is it always a friday night or saturday morning that i'm troubleshooting hardware issues or bsods
"this is just an idea meeting, we don't have to worry about ethics at this stage".
so i refused to sign my name to anything that came out of that meeting.
thinking about that a lot these days.
they like surfing? highlight how close we are to some of the world's best beaches. find out about their kids and recommend private schools.
when i raised this as a huge red flag and violation of ethics it was hand-waived away.
i was once invited to participate in a brainstorming session at my (now) former workplace to determine methods for attracting the best candidates for roles at the organization. popular ideas included massive invasions of privacy via social media to find out info about candidates personal lives.
I made a machine steal the work of a real human being. It's almost as if the stolen work it regurgitated seems like it was written by a real human being. Instead of giving that credit to the breathing person it was stolen from... perhaps the theft machine is actually alive??
