Had a weird interaction at work today, now to overanalyze it on my way home.

Learning about the dairy lobby. We MUST eviscerate the farmer class by force.

I think they should've cast a black actor for the new Ron Weasley because it would piss off the "redhead erasure" crowd and that'd be funny

DSA denounces, in the strongest possible terms, the concept of "cracker control

current dsa drama over the mlm causus reposting a statement from a maoist news account is very funny because a bunch of terminally online DSA libs are going on about how Blackredguard and the far-left are about to complety take over the organization and turn it into a a red army-like org. Deeply unserious people

For the second time this year I've had an issue pop up that I called out, which was initially hand waved, end up being confirmed a month or two later. I'm expecting a pay raise or promotion any day now... any day

I decided to stress test my Ural 4320 in stormworks to see if the engine's cooking system works, but couldn't even get the engine to the point where the cooling system activates :(

I always get very irritated when I hear some right-winger screeching about some conspiracy involving children. Like just about everyone they dislike is some sort of child molester, involved in child pedo rings, or outright mutilating them.

This came up when I overheard some American saying that teachers were pulling kids out of class to make them go through transgender sex changes. This person also claimed to work as a teacher.

I really like the phrase "mandate of Heaven". I want to use it more.

Butts in line

"Hey dude wtf, why did you butt in line?"

"It is not my wish to cut in the line in front of you. It is the world I simply inherited from Genghis. I didnt want this Mandate of Heaven but it is what I inherited."

Scrubs is transphobic as hell.

It's kind of funny that Americans treated Morgenthau as crazy for his plans for Germany, but everyone memory holed that Roosevelt aired the idea of creating a country called Wallonia by handing over a third of France to Belgium (So the Wallonian part of Belgium would be so much bigger than the rest it would just be Wallonia) and then semi-permanently putting France under military occupation just to fuck with De Gaulle.

Hexbear devs (@[email protected] ?) could you take a look at the alt text for emojies?

Huge shout out to cats. I love them and thinking about them makes me happy.

Another night where I spend five hours rolling around in bed trying to get to sleep. I wish I had an offswitch that just conked me out for 8 hours. I don't care if I die in a fire while I'm asleep

decided to research why kiwi tastes so uniquely, i dunno, prickly (how cactus should taste in my imagination)

finding lots of ai websites it's kind of an allergy, now i'm in zone. What if one day glorious kiwi betrays me and i get anaphylactic shock

*ooh found a website that says it's some proteins, like pineapple, i will believe this one

I'm starting to think too much about my relationships again. Wish my brain would stop doing that

Presinald Trunt and the demacrogs around the world

Made myself go on a walk and somehow I feel even more sad brain turn off pls

Started rewatching Please Save My Earth! last night and I love Issei and Jinpachi's relationship and that Issei is kindof a representation of a trans woman it's so sweet

What's a good job for when you use public transportation and don't have a permanent address?

do germans have the most varied name across languages?

you have: german/tedesco/allemand/nemets/deutsch. Somebody like french spanish italians have semi-similar names, here they are just wild, with different starting points.

One would think it's cause they formed so late, but italy was also non-existent for majority of late middle ages

If humanity ever makes an artificial general intelligence, we'll somehow fuck it up. No disaster, we probably won't even give it a terminal goal. No paperclip maximizer - SamsarAI. Feels apropos to me

Nightreign is like kinda stressful as a game in a way no previous fromsoft game has been.

Let me introduce you to my partner, Gabagool Pizzarino.

Yes, he is Italian. How'd you guess?

Friend of friend: vote for Obama 3rd term liberal quickly turning towards "I hate homeless people and anything that helps people get a home conservative." After being with a partner in finance for a bit. This is why I can't stand libs because at any given moment they have no problem going fash.

Mariners blew it in extras

i used to like DougDoug vids a lot but now hes frequently using chaptgpt and shit for stream challenges and "content" i just hate him now

Does anyone know an Android app I can use to keep my own background music playing during podcasts? The podcasts being on their own app

I watched Babylon 5: The Road Home.

Spoiler-free thoughts:

You'll never look at a pair of blue socks the same way again.

This is very good. This is JMS putting in 100%. He is in peak form on the script. If you're a B5 fan and have been ambivalent about watching it, have no fears. It'll make you smile, cry, rejoice, despair, grin, smirk, think, and feel. It is peak B5. It's basically a love story, and fans of the show will know exactly whose love story I mean. The ending feels so right and so earned. The opening voiceover is amazing. The station looks gorgeous. The music is flawless.

This is not a phone-in by any of the returning actors providing voices. Obviously some recasting had to be done as half the live-action main cast have passed away.

Bruce Boxleitner returns to voice John Sheridan, and he is killing it. This wasn't "aging actor can't sound like they used to". From the instant you hear his voice you totally buy that this is genuinely Sheridan. And Bruce puts the same drive and emotion and slightly-nerdy-goofy vibe into the character as he always did.

Claudia Christian returns as our favourite slightly-snarky slightly-cynical always-ready Ivanova. And it's another blowout performance. You're not hearing Christian in a sound booth, you're hearing God Herself.

Peter Jurasik also returns as Londo, and my god he is every bit as good at reprising the role convincingly as Boxleitner and Christian. And not only are you hearing genuine Londo, but JMS is just as good at writing him as he was during the original show. Londo, Sheridan, and Ivanova are in a tragically comedic scene later on and every single line is convincing.

Patricia Tallman comes back as our snark-hiding-a-heart-of-gold resident telepath. She doesn't get much screen time but she makes the most of it. Same for Bill Mumy as Lennier, and Tracy Scoggins as Captain Lochley. I actually liked Lochley as a character in season 5, I think she did a fine job both then and now.

No major complaints on the recast voice actors except maybe Marcus. He just sounded too stiff. Marcus is supposed to sound way more casual even in tense situations. Fortunately he has very few lines.

JMS wisely showed a lot of restraint in nostalgia callbacks. They're there, but they're subtle.

The animation style took me a bit of getting used to, but I soon started enjoying it as its own style. Movements look realistic, characters look like they should, facial expressions are spot-on. Londo looks extremely Londo.
