my self-esteem waiting as i check myself in the mirror each morning:
dr. hibbert waiting to punch hugo (bart's evil twin) in the face after luring him to look at his reflection in the mirror for the first time. his face bears a neutral expression and his right hand is balled into a fist.

raise your hand if you regret using your country's treasury to pay for a drone show that celebrated this man
a moment in a japanese drone show celebrating the 250th anniversary of the founding of the united states on july 4, 2026. drones form the images of prime minister sanae takaichi, triumphantly thrusting her right arm in the air to indicate her choice to align herself with one of history's greatest monsters, and us president donald trump, wearing a baseball cap that says "USA" and leveraging his drone-based left arm to prevent himself from losing his balance on his drone-based swollen ankles and collapsing onto the cityscape below.

just got an email from a staffing agency inviting me to interview for a position with their AI interview bot and this was my reply
email from brian that reads:

"Hi Team at [REDACTED],

This is horrifying.
Do not, under any circumstances, email or text me with a request like this again. I do not do interviews with AI. Giving it a name doesn't make it a person.
Thank you for doing your part to further entrench the creeping dystopia we all live in now."
