My therapist recommended magnesium for insomnia. Now I take it every night, and it seems to have helped. I've tried other supplements and even if they help me fall asleep, I always seem to wind up with a worse quality of sleep than without. Hope you can find your resolution, good sir! 👍

I was completely clueless my first time ever in a coffee shop so I ordered "an expresso." They asked me if I wanted it in a latte, and I didn't know what that was so of course I didn't. They gave me a shot in a small cup, and I sat there with my friends sipping at it like I knew what I was doing.

How long after gardening before you get to crawl into abandoned mines and beat ghosts with a broken table leg?

Wolverine is often picked as the Marvel character who has gone through more shit than anyone, but mutant longevity contributes a lot to that. Carol Danvers, though; I don't know of many characters who have had it worse in the span of a normal lifetime.

I feel as though a lot of these guys had told us who they were long before they got caught. Maybe they said or wrote something that was a red flag or they played a creepy part a little too convincingly. Like the whole Justin Roiland thing from Rick and Morty that was conveniently ignored for years.

I respect the hell out of programmers and Github because if I tried to do something like that with the spreadsheets I build, the bosses would scream "those are proprietary!"

So I just upload them all to my personal Google drive because fuck 'em.

Tyson would be a real one if he just lays down when the bell rings and holds up a $100 bill during the 10-count. Expose this crap for what it is.

Though I agree: without Jeff Probst scripting this fight, Tyson would utterly destroy Paul, and I'd love to see it happen.

It is a bit like occupational Supermarket Sweep where we have this small window to take back what is rightfully ours.

I find the "two weeks notice" obligation on resignation absurdly funny because I've never known "short-timers" to be reasonably productive during that cycle. Myself included.

When the only quantifiable 3rd party candidate is hosting brain worms, the only hope I see is to follow That Guy's example and drive the vermin from Congress (and state and local government) with whips. Either figuratively with votes or literally with actual whips.

I often wonder how much different the USA would be if we didn't outlaw duels. If elected, I would reinstate them but find ways to make them nonlethal and immensely humiliating to a sore loser. Like MXC but for politicians and the billionaires that own them.

I can only read this in his voice, and it's slow going because he inspires so much wonder in his writing that I get lost inside my mind digesting it all from chapter to chapter.

People keep trying to make it about the (weaksauce) presidential race, but the most important thing we can do this year is purge Congress, state, and local governments of career politicians and corporate hegemony.

Fighting claymation skeletons seems like a lot of work, and I do enough of that crap in my dreams. Last night I was repelling a paramilitary force that had trained laser turrets on my house, and all I had was a .22 pistol.

Let's just relax and watch The Good Place together, chica.

Anyway, hope you're feeling better today. Sleep usually resets me, but sometimes it's hard to achieve. :\

The therapies I've learned over my life:
• Sit in the shower with the lights off
• Remain still while listening to Gustav Holst's "The Planets"
• Take a nap
• Sometimes (oops) all of the above

I quit playing a couple of years ago, but I won't ever give up the soundtracks for the Destiny games. Final Fantasy has always been full of bangers, too.

The rare Dolores Umbridge glow-up.

It's one thing to voice an opinion, but to be pushing an agenda without even providing a semblance of alternatives (because they're worse) is a criminal waste of oxygen.

I remember when 9/11 unironically brought about flag toilet paper and flag doormats. The flag became a prop for feel-good virtue signaling and lost all of its power. The same people who were heckling me for struggling to carry it as an 8yo cub scout were suddenly wiping their asses with it.

Growing up hearing about the Ozone Layer, we made efforts and rules to stop wrecking it, then people who lived to see it all go down still claim "humans can't affect the environment that God made!"

I've decided that if I ever become God, my first action will be making ignorance physically painful.

I've always gotten the same take with flag people. The same people who raised me on anti-burning statutes, thou-shalt-respect-the-flag mentality are the same ones who abuse the shit out of it today and freak out the moment you mention the US Flag Code. It turns out they're just trolls IRL.

For sec, I was thinking this was about Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge.

Time is relative to the observer in my fantasy universe, Mr. History Dude.

That feeling when I'm looking for Vonnegut but have to navigate two aisles of Patterson to find him.

The only things I hate about Elden Ring are having dismount/crouch on the same thumbstick that I'm constantly panic-pushing and that dodge activates on button-release not button-press. Not that these would make me "good" but at least I wouldn't feel like Morpheus just mocked "how did I beat you?"

RIP Geocities

I can't really consider the universe to infinite if it began from a finite reaction. My brain tells me no. I can consider our universe to be one of many, though, but then I start seeing them woven together like cells and wondering if we're just riding around on a hyper-fractal electron.

Sometimes I get to imagining that the center of the universe is some kind of giant supervacuum that nothing can enter because the forces of universal expansion pulling in every direction from centroid of the Big Bang are so great that they even warp light around it which is why we can't detect it.

Justin Bailey was my favorite

Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo is forever burned into my brain.

That fun American thing where your health insurance forces you into a slow, incremental treatment strategy designed to anticipate your untimely death before costly treatment measures are required. Let the anxiety of medical Limbo consume us all.

This is me when it's time for a tolerance break.

I remember how funny it was that some people in Idaho felt threatened at having "a doctor" as POTUS. You know, the dog whistle for an "intellectual who thinks he knows what's good for you." Then, years later, they found this guy.

Ben Carson isn't the only Republican who wants to end no-fault divorce

A growing number of prominent conservatives are advocating for divorce to be more legally and financially burdensome.

I loved the Star Trek Experience in Vegas. It wasn't that expensive and you could get blasted at Quark's bar all the same. I was so bummed when I heard they closed it down.

Remember when Cyberschmuck said he had a good idea for an electric jet in Iron Man 2? Yeah, me neither.

I couldn't remember Greg Abbott's name so I googled "pissbaby governor," and it was in the first result. 👍

"Chuck" had Big Mike binging Subway sandwiches every episode to get it through the last couple of seasons.

I cannot politely say how it makes me feel that Burger King asking for charitable donations to US Veterans while Joe Biden is rubber stamping a billion dollars in murder toys to Netanyahu.

Unsubscribe from bullshit policymaking

...and nothing of value was lost.

My superpower is laziness. I will search for any and all means to automate tasks in order to reduce the amount of crap that I have to do, and I have to disguise it as "ingenuity" to blend in with society.

Dr. Sagan wrote "The Demon-Haunted World" almost 20 years ago which dovetails extraordinarily into all of this. Great book. I only started reading it tonight even though I know how it turns out.
