look he orchestrated an attack on his country's currency & that apparently has positive moral valence for a bunch of people so I just homer-hedge.gif at that point
at State of the Planet which has actual press & there's like proper cameras but also random phone stands that appears to be recording the podium with front cameras??
Babel is such a catnip book. "sad as a meal without cheese" indeed
is there a single chewie roar that cannot be replied to with "hard same"?
the number of times I've had to ask "so ... what do *you* mean by semantic token here"
... because I'm a grownup I'm not referring to them as beneficent moeities
Obamas producing tv set in Ireland, how is anyone supposed to stay tethered to reality with this tomfoolery going on
Elderly Cat may not be demented & might just have a fucked thyroid. Bloodwork will say tomorrow. Vet was ruefully impressed at how much of a fight he put up about drawing blood. Enough that he got given the good stuff to slow him down & apparently that just made him woozy AND belligerent
went "WOO ND SQUAD" & "masking?? preach" in Abby Howells set … very much on the inside

international news: war, floods, neo-nazis
nz news: seymour swipes lunches, one (1) stoat spotted
this would paralyse me trying to come up with a better name than comfhenge and they'd have to gently sweep me out of the shop
forgot the rule: always attempt to climb a barricade as though the miasma of guns with flashlights around it is loaded
What I look like scrolling social media
Coco the puppy is adorable but she was supposed to go home today & 11:30pm is too late in the day for zooming
From this book: "Ah well, AFOG."

It couldn't see the car pulled over this morning but it could see I was crossing the line, so it jerked the wheel towards the parked car
Number of times the unconfigurable lane assist in this car has helped me: zero
Number of times it's spasmed the wheel frighteningly because it can't understand the road ahead: at least a half dozen
You just robbed a bank. Who is the getaway driver?
MIL is at whatever stage "we just found out a stove element has been on for we-don't-know-how-long" is ... so the needs assessment next week is probably overdue
spotify email algorithm all "four minutes, this streamer is doing *numbers*"
I thought we had an anxious dog. This black lab that's staying with us is a whole new level of 😬🙀😬🙀😬 ... our dog doesn't trust the world, this dog doesn't trust _anything_
the article of faith that 92.5% of government is the right amount and that the excess is simultaneously evenly distributed across departments & self-evident & un-enumerable … that incoherence is not coming from the departments
maddening Focus on Politics segment where "you have to cut! no we don't know where! the ministers don't know where! just kick the legs out & hope!" is presented as an article of faith & the other fellow gets distracted into talking about petrol

my phone noticed I had covid & negged my average energy expenditure afterwards
Younger Child is watching Maple & Candy for a little longer. They're cavoodles so needed reassurance.
Linguists have apparently found the least innovative language users: Nonmobile Older Rural Males (NORMs)
I bet there were some high fives when they figured out that acronym
yep I get that, just some processing time makes sense to me. maybe dodgy scan would be nice. much ❤️ either way
first act of Blood in the Machine: this General Ludd is unstoppable, can't wait to hear how the rest of the story of how the Luddites win out
the state of the Focus On Politics segment where the right wing dude is all "the proven bad idea has to be done because the people voted for doing _something_"
