worth remembering, David Lynch directed “fix your hearts or die” specifically at transphobes. it wasn’t a generic “no mean people allowed” statement, it was said by his Twin Peaks character in defense of a trans woman he cared for and deeply respected.
A bowl of soba noodles, mushrooms, flank steak, corn, scallions, and cured soft boiled egg in broth.
keeping the cooking streak going: first noodle bowl at the new place! there's a finesse to doing eggs on gas vs. electric ig they came out less perfect than usual. but, of course, everything was still delicious
if i have to miss all my go-to spring outfit styles this year i am going to be upset. i will be very unhappy.
i had to change outfits in the middle of the day bc i realized we were heading to eighty five fucking degrees by the afternoon. it's perverse. there are still piles of snow in parking lots
it's ruxy
it's still ruxy
alarmingly-pleasant weather in march ruxy 🌞
the last three nights i've thought to myself "well maybe i can at least wind down before bed with a nice cup of tea and a movie" and the trickster god which has been tormenting me for months now has said "no. no. no, no, you will not, no"
Here, hear it from the man himself.
i spent january trying to eat healthier while coming out of the depths of unemployment depression, watching my salt intake etc, and it all went to shit last month. so we're just gonna be starting that again is what we're gonna do
spend the night filling up on a ruxy freezer mainstay: chicken vegetable soup with rice 🙏😭 healthiest thing I've made in a month probably. god i needed this
i keep thinking i'm almost at the end of the major things i need and then remember that if i don't replace my heavily-frayed & failing oven mitts soon they will just disintegrate on me which is not something you want to happen while handling hot items with oven mitts
things are getting better though, we're at least back to january's "extremely busy but still manageable" vs. the height of last month's absolute nightmare-mode life disorder. why did i choose to start a new job and move at basically the same time [remembers] oh right
things are getting easier and i'm almost fully set up at the new place!! but there's still like 100 things i need to do ;_; it's hard to find downtime to just relax bc these tasks are Important and there will be Consequences if they are left for too long
The motto of the modern tech industry is "You can just do things to people"
This repeats yet another pattern from the Iraq War. When the Iraqis did not behave as the Americans wanted — without the deference and gratitude that a foreign military occupier felt it was due — they became targets.
Caitlin KALINOWSKI over X I resigned from OpenAl. I care deeply about the Robotics team and the work we built together. This wasn't an easy call. Al has an important role in national security. But surveillance of Americans without judicial oversight and lethal autonomy without human authorization are lines that deserved more deliberation than they got. This was about principle, not people. I have deep respect for Sam and the team, and I'm proud of what we built together.
OpenAI head of robotics just resigned over company deal with the Pentagon saying…
“Surveillance of Americans without judicial oversight and lethal autonomy without human authorization are lines that deserved more deliberation than they got”
as soon as i get the small-size command strips to hang up my kitchen tools we will really be in business. homemade ramen night 2.0 awaits...
first proper homemade dinner at the new place!! chicken katsu, shiitake mushrooms, a big ol pile of rice. past ruxy is my strongest soldier and greatest ally and she saved a cutlet from last month so i could enjoy it now. thank you past ruxy
they've woven so much into nat it's so affecting to me. the other survivors all have something of a life for themselves but she's this hollow husk shuffling around in 30 year old clothes, never had a chance to be someone (and now she has a misty in her life bc that's how it goes)
i need to see misty's home life. she, more than anyone else, is a lead-dense ball of "how the fuck did this happen" in both her childhood and adulthood selves. why is her fashion sense a decade out of trend. her family had a pool? the coach's response to her confession ????
the writing, too, is almost overwhelmingly dense with moments which build on character details to both reveal things about them and show us hd close-up footage of them getting into horrific interpersonal collisions. it is a solid horror movie on top of all this
i am i think about halfway through yellowjackets season 1. nat is definitely my favorite and any time she's onscreen i feel an incredible sadness. many good things, but i'm extremely impressed with how dense the production is on filling in character details with minute choices
"you need to learn how to use gAI or you'll get left behind!"
counterpoint!
the absolute fastest way to render yourself unemployable is to build your skillset around a tool that does your thinking for you, that everyone has access to, and that one company can change or take away at any time

the two-page panel from adachi and shimamura. you know the one
i don't know how i hadn't had the idea until now but i absolutely need to get The Adachi Panel printed out so i can put it on the yuri wall
If the Washington Post story above sounds like PR for Anthropic, that's because it is! Amazon has invested billions of dollars in Anthropic. Jeff Bezos, of course, owns both the Washington Post and Amazon.
They killed 180 children and their teachers in a double-tap strike on a school. The girls were 7 to 12 years old.
why does this metal bedframe come with a binding arbitration agreement. what kind of shit are they trying to pull on me
i know why game devs keep doing this with enemy design ("acceptable" target, shouldn't be but it is) and i hope, sometime in my lifetime, it ends. remember the boomer in l4d? what if we gave him a backstory file about how he was trying to lose weight? re: requiem! www.mothership.blog/you-know-wha...

anyway i gotta do this for a bit now
