It's probably for the best that I don't have a workshop in a little shed at the end of a garden. I was just reminded of the Furby Matrix idea.

I know there's praying, but have we tried threats? Like, 'hey higher being, you better [X] or I'll [Y]'? Maybe I'll try that approach.

"Well it's still technically classified as a soup" is a frightening thing for a family member to say from the kitchen.

I think I'll try to see how wrong and how often I can get away with mispronouncing February at work.

There’s no way an elderly person with truly crappy eyesight could do this but I also suspect I’m just training an AI here. @microsoft.com , WTF

Now, my eyesight isn’t great but I can generally read stuff on my phone without readers and I can’t really make out these shapes (you have to do it five times) and when I try to enlarge it kicks me back to the login page

I haven’t used Microsoft’s office suite in about 3 years and cancelled it a long time ago but just got charged for it. So I go to support and have to demonstrate that I’m not a robot and this is the test

Why did it have to be the 'secret pedophile network runs the world' conspiracy theory and not, like, 'Mothman lives in a cave underneath a Bass Pro Shop and invented the Internet' or something? I would have taken the Pleiadians thing or whatever over this. God damn it.

Due to Circumstances, I've been stuck on an island that's like... Have you ever watched tide pools form, in the Pacific northwest? Little eddies sweeping bits of seaweed and detritus in a way that makes them collect in pockets of rocky shoreline? It's like that.

I made a phone call, the other night. Excused myself from a work dinner. Stepped out into the cold winter air and stared up at the bright little sliver of moon. Someone else sat back down in my seat.

"I am a children's entertainer who specializes in face painting," writes a woman now in hiding from the federal government for witnessing a state-sanctioned street execution
You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.

Yeah, the distinction is not lost on me.
So in other words, they're totally fine with executing a lesbian mom of three in front of her wife. But a (presumably?) straight white man? THAT'S freaking them out.
Wow, the MAGA pigs really have lost even the Reddit conservative community now - the one that WAS on board with “well, killing Renee Good was justified because she was a lesbian bitch”

Every time I see law enforcement push an obviously false narrative *when they know there's video* I can't help but think of the decades of bullshit we were all spoon fed when no video exists to contradict the "official narrative."

I finally watched season 3 of Twin Peaks. Been saving it. Watched the original run again in full, then Fire Walk With Me, then season 3, and now I'm just struggling with the fact that I've seen it all now and there isn't more.
Damn.
Damn.
