My wife is on multiple small doses of opioid daily. She wanted extended release so she could do things like not get up from a dead sleep to take more because the pain woke her. This is a small dose of why people celebrate Luigi Mangione.

Random thing I learned: China in WW2 didn't have much good steel. The Japanese were big on banzai charges with swords and bayonets. So, the Chinese army was issued swords and spears from the Quing dynasty. This when the war two decades before was defined by machine guns, poison gas, mortars etc

It's important to have a diverse political information diet. Apparently the social media algorithms have decided I need a balanced spiritual diet as well.

Pretty sure tech bros don't believe in consent, given how hard they're pushing AI in everything. Also reasonably sure they've just replaced my comma button with a fucking em dash to make AI tells less noticeable.

Look, I fully realize I'm well beyond the age demographic for Hot Topic. That's okay. I'm also hardly a gatekeeper- if you're into the wide range of Goth music But I do take issue with actively conflating #Goth and #Emo bands separated by decades. #gothsky 🖤🦇🖤🦇🖤🦇

Whenever I look into a bigger city's #goth scene, there's always a bearded guy in mismatched brocade and a kilt proclaiming himself a vampire prince and / or dom.

Siouxsie is consistently a hot, bad bitch, with killer style. But I love the frequency of this ick / pained smile face people have photographed over the years

As disgusting as removing a symbol of peace from American currency is, I have to say, it's at least accurate. And E PLURIBUS UNUM is a pretty apt slogan for fascism.

I want to say it feels like we've circled back around to snake oil, but I know enough about American culture to know we've never changed

My favorite part of "Psycho Killer" [2026] was when the Canadian post-production couldn't hear their accent and the killer yells "GEYT OAT!"

I'm getting a lot more mileage than I thought I would out of this meme I made for a family group chat

Trump is forcing those around him to wear shoes he picks out. I'm hoping this goes to the logical extreme. #justdoit

The TOS aesthetic just looks... unfortunate with mustaches. Scotty has to reach the age of pappy-core to work the 'stache.

Gene Roddenberry would HATE Starfleet Academy. But only because of the ZIPPERS. (And maybe the lack of gratuitous sex) #startrek #starfleetacademy

Watching #StarTrek, thinking how picky Starfleet must be if they need a few thousand people out of hundreds of planets with billions of people each. "You represent the intellectual elite of your world. But you're in a red uniform, so you're going to stand in front of this bridge officer." *Zzzzap*

Been full of nervous energy. The joy seems sucked out of my favorite melodies. Turns out, I was in need of a good Discharge.
