Oh hey, I am once again going to talk about lack of distress tolerance, specifically for shame, and how it ties together AI, the “male loneliness epidemic,” Trumpism, and yes, people’s indignation that anyone might think they’re a bad person for continuing to buy Harry Potter merch.

Area man who dropped out of college and worked at his dad’s business before becoming premier and only showing up for work 50% of the time stands on the lawn of the home he inherited from his mom to tell young people that if they can’t find a job it’s because they’re not looking hard enough.

I will quit any service provider for a replacement where I can 0 out to a real human on the very first tree option. I will do everything the harder (better) way rather than use an AI assistant. I will never posit "literary" fiction as distinct from speculative fiction.

I do not like the outcome of cataract surgery. When they said I'd be able to see without my usual glasses, but need reading glasses, somehow I thought they meant for reading books. But I can't read my phone without them. So now I'm carrying around glasses that I need to constantly put off and on.

This has happened to me! I'm not a business but I've been promoting my queer arts endeavors and now I'm locked out, no one can see my posts. The notification said it was because I violated the "cyber security" standard but I don't know how to hack or whatever. It's awful.

I got gamers on here, right? My almost 13 year old REALLY wants to play Elden Ring, which is rated Mature. How bad is it really? I mean, I started reading Stephen King at 13... although I can't really claim that I turned out alright. 😀

I do not want PP to defund the CBC for many reasons, not of them radio-related, but also Small Achievable Goals is the most relatable show for me and my similarly-aged wife, where else will be find the comedic perimenopausal content that we need?

I'm way too old for concerts without seating, but I keep putting my feet and back through it because live music is just so magical. Aysanabee last night was incredible. That voice! Like jam made from bourbon. He came into the crowd to sing We Were Here. Wow, what a night.

Chemo consult for my mom is done, this week's focus is wife's birthday, 3 events bc we're like that. Indian buffet on the actual day, my birthday gift is dinner at Cafe Isobel and then the Aysanabee concert Friday, Saturday is her party. Indulging in joy is also apocalypse planning.
