I was not prepared for the penultimate attempt. That got a shout from me.
And even with good data it's so easy to over- or under-fit and get deceptive results.
New knuckle tattoos just dropped. But I cant decide if the other hand gets FIFO or FAFO.
I do not understand how Minecraft took anyone by surprise. It's *Minecraft*. It's got a locked-in hyperfandom. All it had to do was have one character say "chicken jockey" and blockbuster status was guaranteed.
Zis is my cockchafer. It chafes cocks.
Using one photo already on you phone, what is the announcement tomorrow at 2?
Ruin a movie by making it about Gary Ultragary
Day 13: A song you like from the 70s. Another toughie, because I am an Old and thats a lot of the music of my youth. This one seems particularly timely though..
Shop update at Monday at 11am Pacific! Handful of things, starting with this cuttlefish vessel. (Rest of update in 🧵)
Oh thank gods, I just finished the wholesome brothel one, this'll keep me going for a few more days.
We just live with it. We live with it every day. We don't have the ability - the luxury - of repression, because we are still dealing, every day, with an active risk to our health and well being, one that has been made omnipresent by the total societal abandonment we experience.
Sometimes I feel like those of us who still mask, those of us who are still forced to take precautions because of our high risk status, are some of the only people who can still clearly remember the early pandemic, because for us, the state of emergency NEVER ended. We didn't get to pack it away.
remember when we had a 9/11 death toll a day for like a year straight because of covid. probably not cuz everyone stopped talking about it but its sorta insane to think about right
Just World Fallacy played a big part, but it was supercharged by the rich and powerful fearing some combination of direct economic impact and the effect of letting us proles see just how achievable things like universal healthcare and social support really are.
And other factors like increased pop density making reported crime feel closer, rural and suburban crime seeing a relative increase vs urban, increased reporting, decreased resolution rates from police. Lots of drivers for the disconnect between perception and reality.
I wonder about the effect of things like absolute vs per capita. Eg. The violent crime rate is comparable to 1969, but the total number of violent crimes is near double because there's just more people.
woke up to a notice that my insurance isn't covering some of my lab fees, which is real bad to the tune of $156. I haven't been able to land any work, and I can't risk letting anything go into collections. If anyone can lend a hand, I'd be most appreciative. ko-fi.com/tinychaosmouse
Equally relevant for Labor Day:
TODAY IS THE LAST DAY! I still need $1000 for August (PAST DUE AS OF AUG 15) Currently waiting on SSDI Appeal with zero income. linktr.ee/jskylerinc Anything helps! 🙏🏿 🏳️⚧️
Can't help but notice that a lot of the people warning about so much covid going around in their circles, have a shit ton of pictures of themselves happily travelling around to cons all over the place rawdogging the fucking air maskless.
Good lord. I'm a damn furry pervert and even I eventually shied away from the sheer porniness of the Anita Blake books, to say nothing of the Merry Gentry series. And I thought my school library having Bio of a Space Tyrant was bad.
The White Earth Nation’s bison herd welcomed its very first calf, marking what tribal leaders call ‘a new chapter’ in returning mashkode-bizhiki (bison) to Anishinaabe lands. Bison are being reintroduced through a partnership with the InterTribal Buffalo Council. buff.ly/XMsVVPs #ShareGoodNewsToo
🤞Come on Vance/Miller shootout🤞
with trump and giuliani edging right up to the border of death, the comedic rule of threes now screams for blood
"The Republican Party wants to pull YOUR teenage daughter's pants down in the middle of gym class if they think she's too good at lacrosse, this is vile and depraved and only the start of their intrusive government overreach" should be the party line and I don't think it's a heavy lift
While MBB is having trouble, a selection of my highlights:
For those who have a hard time with this the easiest way I've seen to break out of it is to pick one other PC you explicitly share the spotlight with. A sibling, a childhood friend, a jailbreak buddy, whatever. Always have someone to steal your spotlight and call you on your BS.
Day 12: A song from your preteen years. This one took a while, even when I ruled out all the music I remember from back then that predated me, but then I remembered my introduction to non-classic-rock, a gift from one of my bullies who my parents invited to my birthday party.
Once I got outside and away from them the hyperactivity was on full display though. Very much a running-jumping-climbing trees kid.
You know, I'd kind of put down my ADHD being more inattentive than hyperactive to repressed gender weirdness, but now realize that both my parents being ex military and EXTREMELY anti-fidgeting/noise-making was probably a big part of it.
Humans should not be allowed to drive. But neither should robots. Bears. Bears should be the only ones allowed to drive.
Tag yourself, I'm Rosencrantz. No, wait, I'm Guildenstern. Wait, nevermind, I'm Rosencrantz..
Steering conversations towards subjects that let you use your favorite words is an important skill for die hard vocabularians.
Fully automated femme-presenting hypno fin-dom is starting to look more and more attractive as a career, TBH.
I got in enough trouble reading paperbacks under my desk, if I could have brought the whole library AND all my DnD books AND a diceroller I'd have been in 8th grade forever.
I’m going to say this louder this time: if you are lying about having a high-risk condition to get a Covid vaccine, all good, do what you want to do BUT show some actual goddamn respect for people who *actually* have that condition and start masking.
Clearly Vance was the one who started the rumors of Trump's demise hoping to capitalize on the confusion for a coup.
Chatbots killing their users suggests that big tech has transitioned from simple parasite to parasitoid, indicating that keeping the host alive is no longer essential for their evolutionary strategy
My nomination for new head of HHS. This guy understands the importance of fluoride, at least.
Bonus: I read a ton of British authors so my spelling was peppered with ou's and ae's that my teachers didn't appreciate. And bloody is still my favourite mild curse.
Deer god.. I've always had a tendency for wanting to capitalize the starting letter in compound words, and it took this post for me to realize I picked it up from from my high school Pascal class.
Me but Rainbow Connection
You know what, actually I write pretty good actually 😏
Sharing this because I enjoy participating in dark magicks.
I love the idea of half the country giving him the "Sometimes I can still hear his voice" treatment until he goes biggledy.
Wait, hold on, my mouth was closed, can I get a do-over?
I cannot understand the mind that doesn't enjoy discovering new words, the weirder the better. It's like a mini mystery where you infer the meaning from context, then look it up to see if you were right. Then you get to watch the faces people make when you drop it in conversation.
People saying Trump is dying or possibly dead, but I for one would urge caution, because it is quite possible a second healtbar will appear as he enters his second phase and a gargantuan centipede will burst forth from his torso, so be careful of his new sweep attacks and toxic buildup from bites.
No, no, you don't understand— this is my *emotional support* succession crisis
Day 11: A song you never get tired of. I picture countless plastic beasties falling from the sky and Dropping like sacks of wet cement Complete with Star Wars noises
just tuned into fox news this morning
What would actually be funny is if it happens during this whole spirit bomb session on here. It would finally prove that posting is magic.
Did…Skynet kill him?!
i think it would be very fun if the president died while we're at the state fair this weekend. the state fair is about the only place i ever see MAGA people and i would get to see them crying while carrying oversized stuffed animals and eating curly fries, crying on the ferris wheel, etc
Probably! I haven't watched nearly as much of their stuff as I'd like. Too few hours in the day and all that.
It would be so amusing if he caught something on vacation and literally gave it to Trump because he doesn't wash his hands. He's definitely a "Real Men don't wash their hands because they know how to piss without getting any on their hands" sort of sanitation misunderstander.
I could see something Drawfee-like, where it's artists who are good at quick sketch work doing doodles of events going on in the game. Doesn't take as much focus as doing a detailed drawings/paintings, so they don't get taken completely out of the game.
And my favorite variation on the Extended Disarming Scene: AI Weapon Scanner: Weapons detected... Many.
In my defense the movie itself is nigh unwatchable, but I love the IDEA of the movie, and a lot of its concepts like flat space, ball-bearing airdrop mercs, gravity-redirecting belt buckles, and of course virus-induced vampires who immediately reinvent the Camarilla.
"I don't care what anyone says, I LOVE that movie"
Day 10: A song that makes you sad. She lured me in with I Kissed A Girl, then punched me right in the soul with this one. I miss Jill.
The Czech Resistance would plant loudspeakers in fake sewer grates and blast Western music at the Soviets. The Poles would put on absurdist street theater, like rolling balls of paper around the city, to deliberately waste police time. YES YOU CAN SHITPOST YOUR WAY TO FREEDOM, IT'S HAPPENED BEFORE
🍽️
It makes Turing Cops from various bits of cyberpunk fiction make more sense. Not hunting down emergent consciousness, but for software iterations that can fool humans into thinking they're conscious.
"girl are you the atlantic meridional overturning circulation because you're collapsing faster than anyone had previously predicted" a girl says into a mirror, crying softly. in another life she would have been a marine biologist. she's not, in this one. she isn't sure who she is. but she's not that
Saw a posting for deckbuilding contractors and my first thought was "Oh fuck yeah, I'm great at deckbuilding" before logicbrain caught up and said "No, not MTG you nitwit." Damn.
The number of job postings I scroll past that are flagged simultaneously as "part time" and "40 hours per week" is making me want to set shit on fire. I just saw one that went beyond that to "40 to 60 hours per week". What the actual fuck.
❤️ BOOSTING if you're able, please help my friend and roommate wren!! She's in a tough situation because of an incompetent accounting firm that screwed her over 🙃
If a dude offered to help you write crappy memos and essays, and you found out they were also helping children kill themselves, would you keep working with that dude?
Church's preferred language for communicating with humans is "mess with fragile shit until they yell my name" but he's learning (slowly) from his sister. She uses the full range from "adorable mew more seen than heard" to "horrible death yowls at 4am".
Worry-Made-Flesh is my Cultist Simulator fan Hour. I'm thinking Lantern+Heart with maybe a touch of Winter.
It's weird how often I use the phrase "no worries" to reassure people when I am, in fact, almost entirely worry-made-flesh.
He came running back from the cabins with his flute and a shit-eating grin, and we got treated to an impromptu Jethro Tull concert, complete with him doing the pose on top of a log in the firelight.
One of my fondest memories from my misspent youth: sitting around the campfire at the end of furry summer camp, someone was noodling around on guitar as usual and breaks into the opening bars of Locomotive Breath. Someone else shot to his feet and yelled, "Hold it right there!" and ran off..
It's because the sloppers have such a hardon for Rockwell Saturday Evening Post covers that people associate the look with slop now more than the original. Manga pinup, Miyazaki, Kurzgesagt/Thought Bubble, eventually every art style will have its turn.
My daydreams of Vance grabbing a Secret Service agent's gun and going ham on his boss: So you're saying there's a chance..
It takes a lot of gall to post something like this.
Ruin a book by adding "Tom Clancy's" to the title: Tom Clancy's Jingo
Day 9: A song that makes you happy. Long past time we get some Queen in here, and there are few things that make me happier than fat bottoms, regardless of gender.

These are facts: 1. Each infection increases risk of Long COVID 2. The only way to prevent Long COVID is to not get COVID 3. There's no treatment for Long COVID 4. A single infection can render you homebound/bedbound 5. There is no infrastructure to support you if you become disabled Please mask.
No mercy, not a moments rest for these fuckers the rest of their lives. Nuremberg every fucking one of them.
Rawr! 🐢
Hah, I replied to that one with a Langford reference too. Clearly I have basilisks on the brain.
This is also the reason I can't entirely dismiss the idea of Langford basilisks. Not necessarily terminal ones, but the idea of being able to cause significant cognitive/perceptual effects via out of band signals seems dangerously plausible.
As an AuDHD haver, I think I experience more of my brain working than most, from actual loud thoughts to the constant background buzz of subsurface activity to the technicolor static when I close my eyes and yeah, I cannot recommend it.
You don't know. Could be any number of songs about shoggoths.
I'm excited for this week's song selection, just because it includes shoggoths. I just think they're neat.
My toxic old fart trait is hating these newfangled cutsey LED day/fog lights on cars. Especially the 0_0 ring lights on that one brand of SUVs. I get the utility, just hate the look of them.
Day 8: A song about drugs or alcohol you say? But there's so many to choose from. I was tempted to go with Mary Jane's Last Dance, or Under the Bridge, but lets go with a classic cover. Finally some bunny representation!
Mine was so horrible and sloppy my gf bought a little "How to Kiss" book to give me, and insisted I read it all the way through before starting "practice sessions" with me in the stairwell during lunch.
I've been too depressed to do a new post for a bit, but we've still got bills we can't pay and a cat with a narrow urethra..
America is no longer descending into fascism. We are seconds away from impact Military occupation has come to DC. If and when military occupation comes to where you are, there are things that you can do. This article outlines some of them
