Anyway, I have coffee now. Good morning!

Scheduled a bunch of kids’ doctor appointments on days that I’m working. Again. Was not smart. Not sure why I keep doing this

I was just thinking they look like the most perfect skipping stones I've ever seen, lol

That is a very beautiful place!

Extra chaotic morning getting the kids out the door (worse than usual) so relaxing with some cyberpunk music as per usual and doing some website admin work. #Cyberpunk #Music #AmbientMusic #Writing

If Pliny the Elder isn’t the lie, I need to know the extraordinary circumstances through which you met him!

Same, I’ll support AI if all it does is make me my coffee.

I’m receiving word that I have to make it myself. What is that all about

Good morning. Someone please point me in the direction of the nearest coffee

Oh forgot. I’m shit.

I basically just eat things as an excuse to eat honey mustard

Thank god for the existence of honey mustard or I’d probably go days at a time without eating.

Strong agree. I love how it retained its arthouse aesthetic without compromising its commitment to depicting a gritty dystopian environment. Also great performance from the supporting actor. Probably the strongest of their career. A modern timeless classic!

YES. I’m so glad someone other than me remembers this!

If dysfunction is a function,
Then i must be some kind of

Ge--ni--us!

I just looked that up because I was curious and yeah I imagine it’s very similar. Definitely something other than coffee in these.

I swear they used sawdust as filler in this

I have a confession. I used to buy this coffee back when I was very poor. It’s really terrible coffee that tastes kind of like wood.

Those were dark times for me.

Do you know what's on the mix ahead of time or is it meant to be a surprise?

The caffeine will see me through 😅

Already making my afternoon coffee, at 10:30am, if you need an idea of how this day is going

Fun holiday weekend event: there was a stampede on the local boardwalk at the shore because someone lit a firework and everyone thought it was a mass shooting. #DistinctlyAmericanProblems

Me: "They were at the forefront of the NWOBHM movement in the 70s and highly influential on later metal including everyone from Metallica to Voivod. . ."

Daughter: "They're from the 70s?! That was like 50 years ago!"

The new season of Fortnite has an area that is playing Judas Priest's "Breaking the Law" on the speakers and the kids were asking me about it. So thanks Fortnite for letting me educate them about 70s and 80s heavy metal.

Yep! I have a dummy account there that I use just to have a facebook page for my website (which I'm still debating if I need) and every time I log into it, the feed is filled with such trash. Truly dire times for the ol' book of faces, lol.

The Cultural Ubiquities

Going through all my unread emails from the last few weeks is like the opening scene in Contact where the further out in space it goes the older the radio broadcasts are

Things are going great over there it sounds like

I am pleased to announce that it is once again the holiest of nights of the week: pizza night.

Me on the phone with a coworker: “no wait, it’s not what it sounds like!”

My wife is playing Little Kitty Big City and our cats are observing with profound interest.

Tough one. I enjoy the subtle, self-deprecating humor of popular thing A’s main protagonist but I much prefer popular thing B’s atmospheric, minimalist soundtrack.

The absolute worst!

I haven’t seen it yet but just based on the clips I’ve seen you can really tell he’s enjoying himself in that role and fits it perfectly

Unleashing problematic AI onto the public with no way to fix it. Where have I heard that before

Well then it sounds like the CEO of google has fucked up real bad and isn't fit for the job

Google CEO Sundar Pichai says problems with its AI can't be solved because hallucinations are an inherent problem in these AI tools.

Instead of crypto scams and porn it’s all generic sounding motivational quotes and nonsensical phrases

Bot accounts have arrived on Bluesky and they’re weird!

I totally get that, with my social anxiety I would probably have done the same. Just wish people could be a little more compassionate and understanding.

A little context: Memorial Day weekend is one of the worst at my job, and it is also the official start of the Summer beach season. While I can’t talk about what I do, I can just say the Summers are long and hard. I had a major breakdown mid-Summer last year.

That’s completely ridiculous!

Thank you, you’re right!

Thank you, I need all the encouragement I can get 😅

To be clear the odds are against this

Let’s see if I can make it through to the end of this day without a mental breakdown.

My son had a similar relationship with this, his Minecraft sheep which he named Sheepie. It’s still his favorite but a couple of years ago they were inseparable ☺️
