I've been thinking about them a lot lately. Thinking a lot about a lot, even. It feels heavier this year. In a "Half My Friends Are Dead" sardonic parody type of way. And I'm sure feeling artistically starved doesn't help me cope much.

Like I want afterwards to suggest it might have been J, but no. J's smell has more OG Speedstick hiding in it. This is where the synesthesia is both helpful and not. Sometimes they're similar between people, afterall I do choose a lot of similar energied people to be around.

This time of year gets weird for me. So many good memories crossed with so many bad... I smelled Grandma's house. Before she passed, we agreed that would be her identifying smell. That's 3/3 for all the things we talked about. Tobacco, comfort, and leather.. I think that was Ken.

During my recent hospitalization, I had 2 days with nothing else to think about. I’ve hit mid-life where I’m now more terrified of dying before my “work” - stories and the stuff I’ve seen IRL, online, & in dreams - is done and out of my head than actually death itself. I am afraid of hurting, tho.

Half of my molar’s new filling fell out during all that and coming home. No clue when. Sure that didn’t help 🙄 It can’t be Cannabis hyperemesis syndrome (CHS) if hot showers make me feel worse, right? They told me LAST YEAR it was “just my hiatal hernia.” So not helping my fear.

Last week Me: 🤕Idk what’s wrong. Docs: You use too much THC LWeM: But I can’t eat? Docs: Lose some weight and increase your activity. Exactly 1 week later? I’ve lost 11lbs. Still can’t eat. I can still pinpoint what hurts. But my labs are 👍. “Keep it up!” Sure. I’ll keep throwing it up, I guess 🙄

Also - no. There is no excuse for not running your own AI on your own hardware instead of the internet “cloud” (aka, a whole bunch of machines you don’t own). And Kultr found a good online class, I think from Google, but I’ll have to double check later. (I’m indisposed at the moment.)

My husband is building me an AI to write porn with. So when I start talking about my AI harem, please know that they’ll be living on my actual PC and not in a server in a sketchy datacenter across the planet wasting precious resources. My generative AI is not the same as your generative AI.

Project Hail Mary is perhaps my new favourite movie. Definitely my most favourite since y2k. It could even give Neverending Story a run for its money. Y’all know I don’t say that lightly.

Listen, I’ve been asking Wolfram Alpha and Google basic calculatable questions for a long time. Alexa was the best personal assistant for my neurodivergence that requires me to immediately stop everything to answer the latest burning question to pop up in my head.

“But the LLMs!!!” Aren’t the only generative AI available. You know who uses these tools? Artists and students who don’t have a budget, will never have a budget, but want to bring their work to the world. We need tools for the little guys so they can pitch to the bigger guys who do have the budget.

“But the environment!!!” Is only being affected by a small # of datacenters. The (global) one I work for uses fan walls and closed loop chillers. In fact, the media mess is responsible for wasting at least 3 hours of dumb meetings about how “We’re not that guy!!” to all the employees.

I had to explain to the kids that we’ve had generative AI in Photoshop for well over the past 20 years. How else do you get a 72 dpi profile picture of Rafi on a billboard? Ain’t nobody painting those pixels manually.

Ever notice how M3GAN (2022) was the AI warning, and then M3GAN 2.0 (2025) is the "But the AI can save us from other killer AI!"

YourFavAuntJo did a post recently that apparently hormones affect your ability to absorb certain meds such as ADHD medication. I hope they do a deeper dive into that one.

If nothing ever is random, is our inspiration directly linked to the creations to which we’ve been exposed? Are we being programmed?

I did those before I ran my programs or rebooted, but Malware Bytes, Trend Micro paid subscription, and HitmanPro didn’t find anything. They did start charging shit to my PayPal that I had to deal with. And I found they apparently talked to other hacked accounts from my account

I restored my Windows to the day prior. There was a RacingSim app installed I needed to uninstall, I also did a file explorer search for “racing”, “sim,” etc and found some extra folders under my different Users, plus a HREGKEY. I even had one named “stealthis_”. 2/
