DragonDiaries: I keep coming back to the idea of “werewolf bites: the snack™*.” I could market it as “The biscuit that bites back. Also cures hair loss!”

Morning arrived like the reign of Emperor Wile E Coyote—first of his name. “This ACME justice department kit is what I need to finally take down all those road runners…so many road runners, and they’re all laughing at me. I can hear them in my sleeeep! Meep! Meep meep meep! Make it stop!”

I wish legacy media hadn’t decided to stop covering Tim Walz talking about how deeply weird these people are, because wooo-boy, they are super not normal. And, yes, he did keep hitting it—his later speeches are easy enough to find–legacy media just decided it was no longer a thing in their coverage.

DragonDiaries: Stupid werewolf bites. They should be a small breaded snack sold in large boxes at the dragon market. Not things that transform you. Whole head went fuzzy this time. Sigh.

Morning arrived like a lazy grizzly—sure it's going to tear you limb from limb, but in a really desultory and bored sort of way. Yea, yeah, yea, claw, maul, chomp. Wake me when we get to chomp, okay?

If you’re a journalist who’s still on Twitter, from now on in your writing you have to replace “the American people want” with “troll bots in Eastern Europe demand”
Being there makes your judgment suspect. I don’t care how savvy you think you are, you’re marinating in a disinformation campaign.

It’s hilarious and revelatory that a bunch of giant MAGA/America First X accounts are actually based in Eastern Europe and Nigeria.

With the whole AI bubble, I keep coming back to the underlying premise of making endless money by eliminating a huge portion of the intellectual job market, without examining the next step, which is the 20% unemployment that would produce crashing the economy and eliminating demand for their product

Return the amenities of flying in the 60s and 70s and I’ll consider wearing business casual for my flight. Leg room, full meals, and cocktails, in coach, then we’ll talk.
Duffy: "Trump talks about the golden age of transportation. But the golden age in transportation truly begins with you ... People dress up like they're going to bed when they fly ... so we want to push people as we come into a really busy travel season: Help people out, be in a good mood, dress up"

Thanksgiving PSA: if you have a turkey in your freezer, move it to your fridge!
Frozen turkeys take about 1 day per 4 lbs to thaw in the fridge, which is by far the easiest method!

DragonDiaries: the Mythmas package from aunt Kayath is giggling again. I put it in the closet and stacked some big rocks on top. Concerned it’s an elf. Damned little things and their jollies.

I once knew a Federal bank examiner, and one time someone asked him why we had to KEEP inspecting banks over and over. He basically said every new batch of business school grads invents bank fraud from first principles.

The underlying cause of every bubble - debt masquerading as financial innovation - depends on not just short financial memory & speculative neophytism, but reinventing jargon of finance, like how each generation of kids has new ways to say same things.

somebody on here suggested awhile back that a pretty compelling 2028 Democrat campaign promise would be "on day one I will deploy a WPA-scale army of forensic accountants across every square inch of the federal government" and I think about that every day
It’s crazy to think about the crimes we’re going to learn about after this regime ends.
We’re already hearing about Watergate level crimes every week. Imagine what will come out after it’s over.
We’re going to need a full accounting of all that’s been done in violation of the constitution.

DragonDiaries: Aunt Kayath sent me a box labeled “Not to be opened until Mythmas.” Normally, i’d be fine with this, but the box just giggled. Now I am suspish.
