Community theater is the best! The drama is inevitable, but is also kind of fun as long as no one gets hurt. 

Today was my friend’s memorial service. I had planned to take public transportation, but when I got up this morning, I realized that construction on the tracks was going to make my trip take about 3 hours. I sat on my couch moping and had pretty much decided I wasn’t going to be able to make the trek. Then I hear my…

I can see that!  Mr. Duck sometimes watches it by himself just to enjoy the movie without me shouting “ASSHOLE” every three minutes.

Shelter Cat Update!

I wish this beautiful lesbian couple many years of wedded bliss. Mozel!

Hi Jezzies, I had a lovely gift this week. About 3 weeks ago on twitter Good Reads had a subject called name a book that’s helped you through a difficult time. I tweeted that when I was in the homeless hostel I used to escape to the library to reread all of John Connollys Charlie Parker series. I received a tweet off…

Design meeting:

“What should the failure mode be for the wave generator?”
“Nothing, it should just die quietly and stop functioning.”
“We could do that. Or.. and hear me out on this one...”

Attorneys for Perry countered that Gray doesn’t have the patent on sounds, okay?

He’s him. Hope this helps.

I’m not going to shame anyone for not doing what I’m doing (no time or energy), but I gotta say that the whole “well I’ll shop there BECAUSE people are striking” thing is deeply fucking weird.

After the NVXIUM, or however it’s spelled, scandal broke, I read an article where a psychologist says everyone is vulnerable to scams and cults because of our need to belong. It’s just a matter of which one you would fall for.

The lack of any semblance of critical thinking out there stuns me way more than it should. I am (oddly) flabbergasted that these things happen over and over and over and nobody ever learns. 

I seriously hope there’s something interesting to this story 

I wrote a long paper in college about video games being, potentially at least, a uniquely powerful tool for developing and challenging ideology. Specifically about the Witcher 3, because it excels at revealing the player’s perspective and assumptions, and because I was playing it at the time and was too lazy to like,…

This is actually something that I’ve been thinking about a lot lately. I grew up in the 90s, so when I was a young kid there was a lot of aspirational and somewhat clumsy environmentalism in media (Captain Planet, reduce-reuse-recycle skits on shows, Fern Gully, etc), but it was always depicted in a very abstract…

ApathyMonger sure seems to care a lot.

I mean if you are going to market Forky, market him as a craft kit so each kid can build their own Forky.  Sell 25 cents of material for $15.

I saw a Forky action figure at Target for 30 bucks.  Talk about missing the point.  

I had the same thought after the kiss scene. “One, or both, of them is clearly lying to themselves”
