iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Being a parent of a nearly-adult teenager is weird. Like I’m supposed to trust her enough to be independent and make mistakes, now, so that she can function in the real world as an adult. But I’m also still responsible for her safety right now. Anyway, it’s Homecoming night and pouring down rain.

The minuscule effort this administration has to do to manipulate its base of morons is astounding.

And today he repeats the treasonous comments but includes the BS spin that only the stupidest of people are buying. And then they started saying that he always said that, the first time. And these people believe him. Over and over and over again.

I had to pay an extra $7.14 for something I backed on kickstarter today, due to tariffs. For a thing that does not exist anywhere else (and is not produced in the US). Blanket tariffs aren’t the stupidest thing he’s done, but they sure are stupid.

He probably meant to say San Francisco (not that that’s better), but his dementia+stroke-addled brain and general lack of intelligence got him confused. And it’s impossible for him to admit fault, apologize, or otherwise accept blame for his mistakes, so he’ll never say that.

22 California billionaires have spent a combined $150 million to defeat Prop 40. Their combined wealth in January 2025 was $439 BILLION. By September 2026, it had grown to $722 BILLION. They're accidentally making the case for the billionaire tax better than anyone else could.

Can my neurodivergent comrades relate?

The image is of a human-looking android gesturing at a butterfly - it is from the "Is This a Pigeon?" meme.

Caption above his head says "Mental Health Professionals"
Caption under the butterfly says "Autism, ADHD, Anxiety, OCD"
Caption at the bottom says "Is This Depression?"

Careful after your Paxlovid runs its course and you start getting clear COVID test results. When I went through that a few years ago, I got COVID bounce-back, and it hit me way harder.

I tried a bad impression of your Joker (minus the insane cackles) as DW, and it worked surprisingly well - can’t wait to see what you do with this character. I was very pleased to see that Tad was involved in this, as well - it’s going to be spectacular!

High masking internalized autism looks like literally nothing to an outsider, but it is a slow but steady degradation of your internal capacity, and mental / physical health. Autistic burnout is only a symptom of a much more severe underlying problem...

Yeah, but Netflix might have possibly raised prices, so this is clearly the best outcome /s

Saw Weird Al in concert last night - he and his band put on a phenomenal show! I don’t think people appreciate how talented those musicians are to be able to play all those different styles that well. Bonus shout out to guitarist Payton Rose Velligan for being a beacon of pure joy and rock 🤘

Is there a really strong wind pulling both of their faces to the right (our left)? I’ve seen that stroke look in Trump’s face before, but not hers. Although they say pets often start look their owners.

I've been wanting an iPhone/iPad Mini combo for awhile now - and they finally did it with iPhone Duo - I'm not sure how I feel about only a 2x optical zoom, but I'll live. The new Apple Watch feature, to recap the last 15 seconds of conversation, is absolutely a must-have for my poor AuDHD brain!

With the opening shot of the Kirby trailer, I said "if this is an open world Kirby, shut up and take my money", and then it was beyond my expectations! Metroid Ravenous looks super cool! I was "meh" about the Ocarina of Time remake until I saw the footage, it looks so good - and new QoL features!

Between Apple and Nintendo, I'm going to go bankrupt. Just caught up on their respective events, and there are way too many "must haves"! Apple: - iPhone Duo - new Apple Watch Nintendo: - Switch 2 - Ocarina of Time remake - Kirby and the World Beyond (aka Inhale of the Wild) - Metroid Ravenous

Someday, when Trump is gone and nothing but a distant and disgusting, painful memory, I want to actually watch this movie. I’ve never seen it. But right now it’s too close to reality.

Insane that she’s the same age as my parents. Like, I knew this, but I didn’t really feel how recently this was until that clicked!
