I’m on staycation this week.

It’s glorious.

Not awesome.

Having a depressive episode that’s messing with my appetite and I’ve woken up early three times this week.

It bothers me that the presidential race seems like it may be decided solely based on the quality of each side’s memes.

Um, frustrated.

My parents are eighty years-old, driving for DoorDash (using my car), and they’re putting 1,000 miles on the car a week. There is no lifeline once my car dies, thanks to inflation. There is no other job for them, because no one will employ two octogenarians.

And I can look at the two flavors of conservatism headed our way in November and I low-key hope my mom and dad pass away instead of having to deal with the struggle that’s going to come, because it’s invariably going to get worse. I don’t think civil war is coming, but I do think the capitalists are going to find new and shitty ways to make all of our lives harder.

From a purely historical perspective: weird.

That’s awesome.

I’m on year #4 with my Lenovo Legion. I’m planning to buy a new one later this year to keep up with gaming tech, but I’m keeping this one to be a dedicated Linux machine for browsing and general use, with the plan being using my new machine only for gaming.

I’ve had my Lenovo Legion for four years.

Great product, still works well. The only downside is how much I hate the plastic tabs you have to work open in order to get into the machine’s guts.

Last weekend was too busy, but in a fun way. I was announcing a roller derby tournament.

This weekend is super chill. I’m doing nothing, and it’s everything I dreamed it could be.

I hope you like it. :)

Just got freaked out by a new film called ‘Latency’. I’ll watch it tomorrow when I’m not getting ready for bed.

Not bad.

I’ve reached the point where, as a contrarian, it’s time for me to speak less about politics online, so I started adding in filters to my Mastodon feed, and I like that my feed is less doomscrolling now.

Thank you!

It’s so fun going out and spotting them, keeping count to make sure all the babies are okay. It’s just so neat.

We had a resident family of ducks in the creek by my home this year and it brought me so much joy to see the little ones flitting after their mama.

I’m shocked that the guy who has handlers to make sure he doesn’t wander off had a sub-par debate. /s

These two candidates are there because they’re useful idiots for the billionaire class. Neither of them give a damn about anyone, and it’s probably past time to stop pretending Trump 2.0 isn’t happening and have an exit strategy.

Meh.

John Roberts is worth $25,000,000.

That’s all he cares about. We’re really going to find out how awful all of these people are after November, I imagine.

Thank you!

No, I didn’t draw them up, but now that you mention it I probably should. They’re very holiday themed.

El Pollo Diablo - Looks like a chicken with a flame aura. Invulnerable except to laugh-based magic (Vicious Mockery, Wounding Whispers, Tasha’s Hideous Laughter, etc.) or can be killed via elaborate practical jokes. Wields high level charm magic and powerful fire attacks. (Hence the name)

Turkeybear - Very similar to the owlbear except fatter and with much more indulgent plumage. Attacks with “gravy” (poison spit/breath weapons), sonic attacks, and heralds its presence with the dread cry “Gawwwww-buuuuullll!”. I made him resistant to magical weapons and most slashing attacks, though coincidentally, is weak against cleavers specifically.

Not awesome.

Dad’s in the hospital for the umpteenth time.

Kid brother died yesterday morning, and even better, may have inadvertently hung himself during autoerotic asphyxiation. (Though, objectively, that seems like a decent way to go, truly.)

If I’m understanding you correctly, Brave Browser does that.
