Root canal yesterday. Regular doc today (getting labwork for a Rx renewal) But at least I have a brand new phone waiting for me when I get home (my current one is getting VERY sluggish, so it's time).

Root canal complete. Went much smoother and faster than my previous two! Much better experience this time! (We'll see how I feel when the numbness wears off...)

I was tempted to pirate HP, curiosity and all that. But @jessiegender.bsky.social is right - think of the amount of times HBO commented on GOT leaks and downloads, just as an example. They DO track these things, and even that drives interest. Let this show die. Trans people deserve better.

Guess who's getting a root canal on Wednesday? Yup, that would be me! I lead such an exciting life. 🫤

I feel like there's a cohort of us who got on the internet before "social media" and made all sorts of healthy friendships through forums or livejournal or what have you and thus, while everyone's like SOCIAL MEDIA FUELS COMPARISON AND MISERY we're like, but that's just where my friends live.

This week's Friday Night Movie Night movie: I Saw The TV Glow. This one's been on my to-watch list since May 2024 when Pop Culture Happy Hour covered it. Finally got around to it tonight. It was worth the wait. This is the kind of movie that sticks in your brain and leaves you thinking for days.

I have a whole host of...issues...with the Catholic Church (and, let's be honest, organized religion in general), but still... I'm digging Pope Leo.

This is one of the reasons I'm very, very glad my dad will soon be moving into a retirement community. The fact they have almost everything he'll need on site (and can provide transport for things that aren't) we'll make it MUCH easier for me to say "Hey Dad, you need to stop driving now."

It's amazing what a difference it can make to skip out of work early, come home, and take a 2 hour mid-afternoon nap. Sure the tooth is still achy, but the anxiety spike is gone.

Dr. Dave 🏳️‍🌈 @ashfault76.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Whee, anxiety spiking today. Triggered primarily by the fact that my tooth is hurting and I probably need a root canal. Yes, I already made an appt w/ dentist, but that's not till Monday, and she'll likely just refer me to someone else for the actual procedure. Anyway, I'm cranky and irritable.

I do not think we should have a death penalty. I don't think it is any kind of deterrent. I think it's barbaric. I think it makes us all worse people. All of us. And we just don't have to do this to ourselves. We could abolish it, and we should.

I wish that women didn't have to open a vein and spill their trauma every time there's a high-profile rape case. We shouldn't have to do that to drive home what a widespread fucking problem this is.

I'm very glad I tuned in early for the VMAs to catch the Madonna performance, because it started 10 minutes early! Great performance, though (I'll forgive the lip syncing, as that's pretty standard for live telecasts)

Mostly productive day today, even if I was thwarted in my attempt to vote early. Apparently there is early voting last Saturday, and next Saturday, but not today. 🤷‍♂️

A bottle of bourbon, a bottle of vermouth, and a jar of luxardo cherries.

This is my take as well. If you create a car that spontaneously accelerates because of how it’s designed, nobody says the car went rogue. You, who designed and sold the car, are on the hook. It’s not everybody else’s problem. Can’t keep it from spontaneously accelerating? Don’t sell it.

Also, the number of drivers who WEREN'T turning around was disturbing. The only thing stopping the tree from completely falling into the roadway was that it was BEING HELD UP by the power line. Also, IT WAS STILL SPARKING AND A LITTLE BIT ON FIRE! Yet nearly everyone was driving directly under it!

Dr. Dave 🏳️‍🌈 @ashfault76.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

Oof traffic was beastly today. My typical morning commute is ~25-30 min. Today it took an hour. 😬 (Partly due to a tree falling onto a power line and blocking my primary route, requiring me to double back. But even beyond that, traffic everywhere was waaaay worse than usual)

So, Strange New Worlds has established (more than once) that it exists in the same universe as Doctor Who. But this week it also told us it exists in the same universe as The Princess Bride. I find these things amusing, for sure.

Been a little off all day. Worked from home, but had no motivation to work, and took an hour-long nap in the afternoon. Been discombobulated ever since. D&D with friends this evening, though, so hopefully that'll help my muddled brain.

So, some thoughts on Ted Lasso season 4. Episode 7 is the first one that actually felt like an episode of Ted Lasso. It's ridiculous it took this long into the season to manage that. I can't parse out all the issues with this season, but one of the major ones boils down to this:

If you run to the right, you don't add voters. You lose them because your voters (RIGHTLY) think you've abandoned them won't vote for you. And the voters to the right you're trying to court - guess what you still aren't right enough for them. And the undecideds see a coward & won't vote for one.

The argument against AI should always start with the THEFT of creative labor the technology was built on. The intent was CRIMINAL. CEOs should be facing charges, not class action lawsuits. The devastation these companies continue to inflict on creative communities demands accountability.

100%. For those unfamiliar, Van Halen had a line in their rider that essentially said “no brown M&Ms.” It was a way to see if the promoter had actually read the contract. They had a shitload of gear to tour with, so if they’re skipping one thing, it’s guaranteed they’re skipping something essential.

Watching things on DVD is kinda a trip because my DVD player remote is IR and I'm so used to my FireTV Bluetooth remote that I get flustered when the DVD remote doesn't work unless I point it (without obstructions) directly at the player.

The Tori tour may have ended (for now?🤞) more than a week ago, but we can still honor the final night at Chateau Ste Michelle by cracking open a bottle of their rosé. (I wasn't at the show: I'm in VA & got this at the grocery store. But it still counts.) cc: @undented.bsky.social
