It's a Saturday night. I've done absolutely all day. Nothing. Oh, I did manage to create an instance of Immich. I don't know why I'm even still alive

"President Trump used his keynote speech at the first night of the Republican midterm convention to make an unusual promise: If his party keeps control of Congress after November, he will give every American adult a $5,000 "dividend." How is this not bribery!? A mob boss wouldn't get away with this

So far today: 1. Trump fell asleep at the 9/11 ceremony. 2. Hegseth used 9/11 to justify the war in Iran. 3. Jake Lang and literal Nazis are marching through the streets of NY. 5. The stupidest people on the planet are on social media thinking they're getting $5,000 to vote for Republicans

Sorry if I flooded your feed with my article post. I'm learning cross posting on micro.blog. I think I'll switch to Ghost though

I wrote something. It's dumb. But my take on AI and the writing industry AI and the Threat to Art: cigarettesandsoda.co/2026/09/...

Ok. We got Dave a room (barring anything else going wrong) and are now waiting 5+ minutes at McDonald's. They just took our order and there are 4 cars ahead of us and they're short staffed. All he wants to do is take a bath. That's it. A bath. And the universe seems to be conspiring against us.

Horrible picture of a McDonald’s line at midnight

Trying to be nice, I tried to get Dave a hotel room and even fucked that up. Yes, Dave finally got in touch with me at the NAMI meeting. He wasn't in jail, like Judy said, but had his camp ripped away from him. Now he's on the streets tonight. 🧵 /1

Putting this out there for #writers and #bloggers: what's the best platform for blogging? Preferably cheap. Even better if free. I'm open to self-hosting Thank you!

I'm binge watching Oz and, even though I know it's a #tvshow, I'm not absolutely terrified of #prison

What's would you sell your soul for? Your humanity? Your vote? Your fellow citizen's right to live? 40 years down the line and, god hoping you're still alive, will you say you sold all this for $5000? Or will you be dead and just not give a shit, which would be your legacy. #trump

Also, and now I'm going to bed, but here's my favorite photo of me. Rocking a NoFx beanie and a scraggly beard that would put a longshoreman to shame.

Just a picture of me in my NoFx hat and with a very scraggly beard

Took extra clonazepam tonight to head off the anxiety. Now I'm anxious about running out early. Life is completely miserable without my medication #mentalhealth #mentalillness

One more #familyguy episode and I'll attempt sleep

000

I hate nights. The daytime isn't great either, but night has me sinking further into my depression and anxiety and not sleeping. Not because I'm not tired. I'm exhausted. But I'm scared of the thoughts that race through my head in the dark. #mentalillness #mentalhealth

Raindrop.io — All-in-one bookmark manager

So I was browsing all my old apps (storage issues) and was pleased to find I still had Raindrop.io. I explored it, tagged entries without tags, and organized my mess of bookmarks. I'm surprised how much I like Raindrop.io! How did I sit on this for so long!? My #adhd is happy.

My mom absolutely adores the Indiana Fever. She's alway cheering on Kelsey Mitchell, Aliyah Boston, Caitlyn Clark , and Sophie Cunningham. She never misses a game. We had to rush home to so she could watch the game. It's adorable. I love my mom. #wnba

So, I actually got fishing rods and stopped by the sports store today for tackle. I've never been to a sports store. And Bass Pro Fishing is gigantic, I was completely overwhelmed. I haven't fished in over a decade and am rusty. But the guy helping me steered E towards the beginner's stuff. 🧵

I went to bed at about 1:30am. Woke up at 11:30. Feet like I got absolutely no sleep. Dizzy, woozy, and drifting

000

I think I might try to #sleep soon. I have about 4 hours combined over the past 3 days. I hate it. I get anxious when trying to sleep for some dumb reason. So I just lie awake in the dark. Which makes me more anxious. And the cycle begins

000

So does anyone else get extremely tired but stubbornly stay awake to spite the body? #sleep #exhaustion #stubbornass

I've been soaked in dread and sadness all day. I want to cry and it just won't happen. So it just festers in my gut.

Yeats is even more prescient today: "Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold; Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world, The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere The ceremony of innocence is drowned; The best lack all conviction, while the worst Are full of passionate intensity."

Thinking of rewatching all of Fringe for the millionth time #epictv

So, I’ve thankfully abandoned Nostr. One thing I liked about the apps for it was the ability to cross post to multiple services, specifically Bluesky, Mastodon, and Threads. So far, Openvibe is the only app to do it all. But the UX is off putting. Is there another app out there that does the same?

000

I hate being biological. If I don't eat, I start to feel really sick and super weak. It's so bad, I feel too sick to eat and don't have the energy to make anything, which then makes everything worse. Then I eat and feel a different kind of sick. #sicknesssucks

So after a day of use, I deleted my Nostr account and am never going back. It's full of tech bro crypto Libertarians. And not your floppy Libertarians. Nope. Closer to Fascism instead And the obsession of crypto is disturbing. Very cult like. Give me the banality of Bluesky and Mastodon

To me, late 90s Midwest #emo is some of the best music ever. I’ll die on this hill 🧵 #modestmouse #jimmyeatworld #mineral #thepromisering

Oh dear god, that was a trial. I spent the ast 2 days configuring Openvibe to integrate with my Bluesky, Mastodon, Tumblr, Threads, and Nostr accounts. Nostr gave me the most trouble. I never needed a crypto wallet. I despise crypto. But apparently I have one now 🤷

So, I’ve been stressing over what I should do with my Substack. I really want to maintain it and use it consistently. Maybe even get some subscribers. Then my Depression descends. Not now. Substack: open.substack.com/pub/cigarett... Published post: substack.com/@exiledacade... Not this time. 🧵

I love, love, *love* all the conspiracy theories and eerie rumors surrounding DIA. Having grown up in Colorado, this folklore belongs to us! Blucifer is a statewide treasure. Seriously, there are more tunnels under the airport than in all of Disney World

000

I do have to say, though, being in an unending state of “now” has got me back to reading and exploring new music. I discovered a great modern Cyberpunk author, T.R. Napper. I’m reading his novel, “Ghost of the Neon God.” A cyberpunk Sydney 🧵

It’s 1:45 and I’m still up. That’s been almost 3 days now. My head is woozy and the walls are moving I was going playing Borderlands but my body literally hurts and I had to lie down. Gonna try sleep again. But here’s Gordon Ramsay’s best insult! #gordonramsay #hellskitchen #goodnight

000

Struggling these past few nights. Got a total of about 4 hours sleep in 4 days. My head is swimming and I just lie in bed, complete darkness, white noise machine buzzing, and cannot sleep. I yawn constantly. No sleep. Finally, I give up, get out of bed, and zombie my way to my Xbox. 🧵

Testing out the iOS app OpenVibe with all my accounts connected. Maybe I’ll stick with it. It’s sad that my only knowledge of James Garfield and Charles Guiteau before the series Death by Lightning comes from American Dad

Hey, @greatdismal.bsky.social is here and is active! I have this picture of him that sums him up entirely. I don’t know where it’s taken though. I hitched myself to the wrong platform. While my Threads account exploded, William Gibson and @chuckpalahniuk.bsky.social were over here thriving

CaycePollard @wynnpollard.bsky.social · 15/08/2026

I’ve neglected Bluesky. My Threads account exploded and I don’t know why. I half-assed Bliesky and, frankly, it seems like the more intriguing platform. Managed to have my own, custom domain too.

If you look at this picture and pretend it’s him being driven to an involuntary mental health facility, it really brightens your mood. #trump #maga
