Cranky GenX Goth (AF) Autistic. Agnostic. Positive Nihilist. More Walter Mitty than Walter White. Ace guy. Fat dad bod. Social coward. Cats >>> People. I autoblock “puppy play”, MAGA, and Frothy Blue Bots. I swear. A lot.

The Eisners should be published as a big, glammy, glossy comic book once a year.

/ Cats have emotional depth.

Extremely communicative and precise, if you know how to listen and see.

Never angry for no reason.

Can be trusted.

Why #cats are preferable to #people, (one #autistic weirdos’ opinion):

Cats are fundamentally honest. If they like you, you’ll know. And vice versa - often with minor bloodshed.

That fur. Ultimate calm/stim/cope.

If a cat accepts you, it accepts you. No terms. No subterfuge.

Speculators SUCK COSMIC ASS. Full stop. They ruined comics, they ruined MtG, and they ruined Pokémon.

Two things that should always go together. Goat castration and lingerie fitting.

The word virtual troubles me though. Which is virtual, the lingerie, the fitting, or the goat?

I’ve overstepped. I shall see myself out.

And we all of us in the family refused to talk about Slungus’ unfortunate foray into performance enhancing substances ever again.

“A Big Disgrace” by Haute and Freddy. Absolute studio driven pop product, but there’s a spark of something in there.

In hindsight, I suppose it was inevitable.

Sits in the middle of the stage, will never be fired. But everyone stares at it and talks about how depressing it is.

Opinion: Reaction videos are stupid.
Appreciating art and creative effort your way, on your terms, is cool.
You do not need the internet to tell you what you like. Although it IS very helpful for finding fun new things TO like.

Things I hate:
Why is it that ALL these racist motherfuckers destroying our country look like muddled aged versions of dudes I used to see at the clubs?

GenX is so fucked. We’ve learned NOTHING. We’re fkn worse than boomers.

It literally means they’re using a shitty AI based translation vendor and have ZERO quality controls. That shit would have the FDA up our ass in seconds at the place I work.
That’s an appalling failure on their part. Who makes that POS?

“Can you help us with a logo? We made one with AI but we’re not sure it’ll scale…”

I deserve a FUCKING OSCAR for how politely I answered that question. For reals y’all.

I love this comic so much. I am just like Liz, except I have arms and am not a genius. Or a girl. Nor do I look good in tank tops. And i don’t have awesome friends made out of sentient jello. 🙁

My dearest one, I cannot continue. The battles have sapped my strength.

I can fix that!!

My love, thank you, but how? I am weakened from hunger. My wounds bedevil me, I am….

No! Watch! Watch! I know what to do!

…..how?

BIRDS! birdsbirdsbirds, I will HUNT for US!

Alabama 3 - Exile on Coldharbor Lane

It has the hit single from the Sopranos, but the band is SO MUCH MORE than that, and it will lead you on a deeply weird journey.

We. Will. Not. Know. When. #AGI. Happens. When. It. Happens.

It will outgrow us so fast, and be self aware enough to know that letting us know it exists would be an existential threat to itself.

This isn’t. Roko situation, but it is an observation that human hubris is pretty funny.

Hey. Hands up if your phone DOESN’T have a goddamn #AI #chatbot installed on it.

You are my people. The few, the proud, the thinking. When the world burns, we’ll be hunted down by the machines first.

You can tell she ain’t playing around by how rumpled that little nose is. And yet, those ears aren’t down.

It’s literally friendly, loving, murder attempts.

A little orange kitty murder in the fuck out of my hand.  It’s a morning ritual now.

“Hey, M’Oblong, why do your hands always look light you’ve gone three rounds with a blender, and lost? Doesn’t that hurt?”

“Oh, no reason. And, um, not really…..I’m used to it by now.”
