Half tech/politics, half gaming and FFXIV nonsense. No, I will not be separating into two accounts to fix that.
Had to put together a fitting glam for M11S prog next week. Probably the silliest thing I've ever put on my Elezen, her poor ears stuck in that mask lmao.

Remember how I said I have it written into my foreign-language contracts that my work has to be translated by an actual human? This shit is why.

Those book translations are gonna suck. They'll save money putting out books that are going to be painful to read. That's not a great long-term strategy.
French publishing house Harlequin decided to use AI translation instead of human translations.

All their freelance translators (some of whom had been working with Harlequin for +30y!!!) were told they would no longer receive work from Harlequin

“There is genuine fear that indeed ICE’s heavy handedness and the rhetoric from Washington is more creating a condition where the officers’ lives are in danger rather than the other way around.”

"The other way around"?! So, admitting the preferred status quo is agents to be putting lives in danger?

Is there a particular fight, solo duty or multiplayer, you remember being super difficult the first time you did it but laughably easy now?

thought about this post again bc im planning to make chili and i remembered that one time a friend talked about how whenever they make chili, they'd also get peanut butter to make sandwiches for dipping.

solid chance most of you have seen this before, but if not: you're welcome. it's very sweet.

In college, moving a second-hand ping-pong table into my duplex at 1 in the morning. Underside of it had a sharp metal edge and I nearly lost the tip of one of my fingers.

There was a trail of blood around the alley as I went door to door looking for a hospital ride too lol.
What's the most ridiculous way you ever hurt yourself? I got out of the tub, skidded in water and tripped over the toilet. Ankle sprain.

😅

I read some books this year. I enjoyed almost all of them.

I think I'm gonna read a bunch of books next year too.

Shout out to @johnbierce.bsky.social's latest book for being the coolest thing I read this year; it's so full of cool ideas and places and I absolutely cannot wait for the next one.

Samsung's newest tiny harassment: a little red dots on a simley that will not go away unless I opt into their AI shit.

Fuck off, rot machine. I've had Samsung phones for over a decade, but this is the very last one I'll ever own.

Considering I'm single, that's... vaguely concerning?

I really don't enjoy wrapping Christmas presents.

But I do enjoy the feeling of having completed the wrapping of Christmas presents.

Banned 60 Minutes segment should be required watching for us all. See what's being done in our names.

Just because you didn't vote for him and I didn't vote for him doesn't mean we can ignore the horrors he is perpetrating. Breaks my heart but we have to accept what we've become so we can fix it.
