Target's new lighting is an abomination, somehow succeeding at being both too bright and too dim. It is immediately headache inducing. Wonderful.

Everyone gets a free 100% mewtwo for pokemon go's 10th anniversary. You know what can immediately tarnish that? That's right. Stepping in cat vomit. Then cleaning it up. Then stepping in cat vomit you missed. When is Scopely going to provide us with a pogo experience free of cat vomit?

Just saw a supermoon harvestmoon lunar eclipse. :o and looking it up, there wasn't one "predicted" for today, but one single website is talking about it. It was so fast! www.weather.gov/lot/Tonights...

It's 4:30 am on a weeknight and someone is playing loud music. I'm sure everyone in the neighborhood that is a normal human being is upset about this.

You know how everyone is always like, "the Simpsons did it," or "the Simpsons predicted it"? As the years go on that feels more like coincidence or just plain volume, but Futurama feels like, "Oh, shit. They really just know people, don't they?" Short-sighted, "that's tomorrow's problem" people.

Just thinking about the proliferation of animal companions in Disney movies. Like, Moana? 2. HeiHei and Pua. Pocahontas, 3: Meeko, Flit and Percy. Mulan? :o 4. Mushu, Cricket, Khan and, the oft-forgotten Little Brother (the dog). I think Mulan wins the animal companion arms race.

In case you were wondering, don't buy the bts oreos. Their stench will haunt you. The cookies themselves are a lovely texture, but good luck eating them while you're literally choking on the artificial stink of burnt maple. "But it doesn't HAVE any maple." I'm aware. Someone should tell it, though

If you ever want to know something horrific about a place, just say something positive about it and people will jump out of the woodwork to prove you wrong. Like, "I just found this place that has great ice cream!" "If you like zionist anti-homeless, anti-bicycle nazis."

Used to hear people mention Under Pressure (Queen and David Bowie) and I would agree that it was good not realizing I was thinking of Pressure from Billy Joel. Seems a sacrilege to like a Billy Joel song more than Queen and Bowie, but, that's where I am. youtu.be/Iyv905Q2omU?...

Looking at this semi-feral asshole of a cat that we adopted years ago, seeing her tattoo and remembering her absolute fucking freak-out when she heard a can opener (she shouldn't have known what it was). Realized, "OH, you led a whole-ass LIFE before you got here, huh?".

Ps5 controller is getting weird. They were on sale this weekend so I got a replacement. It came today. I am annoyed at the difference between the actual colors and the stock photo colors amd I want to rant but my rant is so goddamn petty that I look like an asshole. OH. AND IT'S $10 CHEAPER TODAY.

My computer died earlier this year. I kinda gave up trying to get anything off of it, mostly because I had already backed it up a month or so before (it was very clear it wpuld live much longer). Welp, today I decided, "fuck it, can'tkill it deader" and made a boot drive and installed Ubuntu. Y'all.

Someone online is blaming Scrubs s9 (Medical School) for the cancelation of Scrubs. Sir. SIR. Scrubs was canceled 2 TIMES-- season 6 on NBC and season 8 on abc-- with finales for each one, then YEARS LATER picked up as what was supposed to be a spin-off in s9. Don't blame s9 for failing to revive it

My printer kept beeping yesterday, making it's little "bong-bong" alert that means something is wrong. Usually, it's a paper that slid into the doc feeder that the printer is panicking about not being able to grab or routine cleaning interrupted by not enough ink. Nope!

Paused a video about an old arcade game on a still of a chimp in a tall tophat and immediately thought "Lincoln". Stared. "There's gotta be a pun there." 15 minutes later, me yelling from the living room: "APE-RAHAM LINCOLN." Nailed it. (Sadly, the chimp was revealed to have a very boring name.)

One time, I was at a store in the electronics department. Someone from school's mom saw me and started asking me questions about what system would be good to get her son for his birthday. I told her to get a Sega CD. 😬 Sometimes I think about that and hope I didn't ruin that poor kid's birthday.

Another fun music find for the day. Vangelis: Conquest of Paradise. Heard this and it twigged something in my brain. Dan knew the name so we googled it but found nothing. Added parody, added cartoon, still nothing, so I sat here... until it hit me. 🙃 Colin Mochrie vs Jesus H. Christ.

Mass market paperbacks are going away, being replaced by larger, more expensive paperbacks (think Ali Hazelwood). Me, I prefer the little ones because they fit in purses and pockets. Enter, then, HarperCollins with their rebranding modeled after Japanese tankobon/bunkobon. "Nomad Editions".

Our desktop computer died yesterday. It was a long time coming. The thing was pretty old. Today, I spent some time disconnecting everything and trying, yet again, to make my printer print wirelessly, something I have tried multiple times over the years. Turns out...

Law and Order was on/just ended and the "executive Producer DICK WOLF" just popped up. Everytime I see it, I think about a car I saw with it as a bumper sticker. It makes me laugh.

Welp, time to order my 6 month supply of bodywash again, I reckon. Once, like, 15 years ago, there was a shortage and no one in town carried it for like a year. I was scrounging around, trying to find it at random grocery stores and stuff. When I started to find it again...

Drafted a long post about data centers because I saw an article about how "experts" say they "won't affect house value significantly". Literally, towns around data centers are all but abandoned. The water is undrinkable. And cancer is rampant. futurism.com/artificial-i...

Weird thoughts coming, but Ugly Christmas Sweater parties are classist. How? If you don't *have* any, to participate, you have to *buy* an Ugly sweater. What's more bougie than wasting money on a horrifying piece of clothing that you WILL NOT EVER wear outside of that very specific party?

"It's a battery-saving option." Thanks, Win11, but I prefer "sanity-saving" options. Maybe, LEAVE MY USB PORTS ON WHEN I CLICK THE BUTTON THAT SAYS "LEAVE USBs THE FUCK ON FOREVER AND EVER". But, no, every update you turn it off and I question my life again.

You know what's infuriating? Those "store near you" apps that make you put your location or zip code in and then just say, "Sorry! There are no 'xx' stores nearby!" and that's just fuckin' it.

"Everyone can tell what's AI because the anatomy is so bad." Here is where I mention the time in college that I, a traditional artist, accidentally gave a figure 3 arms, didn't notice, and later had to add a 4th arm to make it look intentional when someone else pointed it out to me. :x

Thinking about Roy Liechtenstein and being fundamentally annoyed by his views on comics. Like, "oh, you've 'elevated' it, huh?". Used to quite like him, but, honestly, of you're going to bastardize and copy something, doing it with love and respect is better than derision.

Watching Haunted Hotel on Netflix. It's a hilarious, fun time with tons of horror movie references in every episode. We watched the episode "Rollyfluffs" tonight and (SPOILER), it's totally inspired by the s2 Buffy episode "Bad Eggs". It even has a Buffy Easter egg in there. #hauntedhotel

I had a person tell me they "looked for these pins everywhere and this is the only place I've ever seen them". I need to show my process more often. Lol. Sadly, the pin he was hoping to find has been sold out a good long while. Maybe it's time to do it again. It's one of my favorites.
