It was snowing last week. An ice cream truck drove by playing "Jingle Bells." Haven't fully unpacked it.

Meta has patented AI to take over a dead user's accounts. Not only is it unhealthy to video chat with a corporate facsimile of the departed, this is obviously going to go to a place where the "ghost" is farming data from the bereaved, and then comes the "subtle" product placement. Gross gross #gross

Here's my entry: #Manus, the Hams of Fart

It's just kind of a fun one for everybody

"Do your own research" represents an unspoken agreement that no one will be doing anything. Even if you believe the opinionator is truthful, call their bluff for being lazy.

From reading and meditating to movies and games, I've been trying different things to make something happen. I know one of the ingredients for a good nightmare is oversleeping, but that's not an option like it was when I was younger.

There are some shops with shifting, indistinct themes, then an apartment which looks like one I lived in 25 years ago. The substance of the dream is still boring, anxious crap like trying to pack luggage or find some household item. There are no monsters, just annoying people in my way.

Since I first made a video about it, I've been trying to expose myself to new media/ideas in the hours before I wind down. The hope is that the stimuli will affect dream content and, to an extent, it has. Where before I was contained inside a single location, I've now made it "down the street."

Things Inside: Dreams
Things Inside: Dreams YouTube video by David Dunwoody

I'm still working on "fixing" my dreams. I used to have wild, inspiring dreams, often nightmares, which I used in my stories. For the past decade or so, I've been experiencing the same dream scenario over & over--not the exact same script, just the same circumstances.

Conservative media is a drain trap catching people we thought we were done with. These washouts splitting hairs re: Epstein & which types of sex abuse are "worse"--they must believe the allegations. To attempt such a callous defense, they must believe it's true & all that's left to do is mitigate.

Just found out spiders have hydraulic legs. And some can produce 7 different types of silk. That's just the beginning, they're little X-Men. I guess spiders are pretty cool. But I will never respect the hornet, not after what they've done

I feel like if I don't get out of UT before November, the borders are going to be closed. It's the cheery stillness of this fanfic Stepford that's eating away at me. Remember in BLUE VELVET when you go under the lawn and that ant is all "AAARRGGGHHH," it's that basically

I love that giddy feeling when I'm researching for a story, and I find some weird coincidence or bit of info that makes it feel like the story was there waiting to be found. Closest thing I've had to a spiritual experience

Vanilla is a flavor. It is good. It is not the water of sweets.

Hope you're debating something equally meaningless, and apolitical, on this #Christmas Day

If your head is devoid of ideas, for God's sake don't expect your mouth to come up with something

It's always irked me how the sun's role in lycanthropy is played down. It's the sun's unobstructed light that activates that crazy moon mojo. I'll bet Mars' two moons meant two warring were-species, obviously leading to their total extinction

44 is no joke. Noticeable changes come in quick succession. Even though I hover around the same weight, my body fat has redistributed itself to turn me into sort of a spinning top shape? And my clothes don't conform to my anatomy anymore? Also if I don't shower three times a day I smell like pickles

If there were one host and two facehuggers, do you think they'd have a slapstick fight all over the face

We've got everything but the turkey. Another fugitive fowl is in the wind, but I believe we can subsist on sides alone. I believe in stuffing and its singular purpose

My cynical prediction, re the tragic Nat'l Guard shooting in D.C., is that the conditioned apathy toward mass violence and the presence of force is going to undercut media & public outrage, not that the administration won't try to capitalize on it anyway.

Maybe next year they can give the suite to a starving family, or two, and HUD can place the turkeys on a three-year waiting list

Thanksgiving conspiracy theory: Trump IS the missing-in-action "Waddle" and has been pardoned

Is it tone-deaf, by the way, to put poultry up at a luxury hotel and then set it free in front of the struggling public?

Who pays for the hotel? Was Changpeng Zhao chilling there last month?

The Lute Player, Frans Hals

The Lute Player, Frans Hals

These traveling musicians were often used as spies. Now I’m rethinking the smirk in this, Frans Hals' The Lute Player.

β€œThe Lute Player” is also a Russian fairy tale according to the web, in which a queen disguises herself as a male musician in a plot to free her captured king.
