In which it’s good. There’s a comedy sketch show called Aunty Donna’s Big Ol’ House of Fun and it’s utterly fucking brilliant and totally the descendant of Monty Python, Young Ones, and Fry & Laurie, and you should watch it. That is all.
In which I re-installed the board. I’ve quit most social media except Twitter, which is or isn’t being purchased by Musk, and my timeline is full of people going ‘well this is basically dead now, like LiveJournal’ and ‘how do i mastodon’ and ‘where are we going’ so, what the hell: HERE’S RANTS AGAIN! It’s […]
In which we’ve been trolled. In the middle of the night, the apartment suddenly exploded with white dust. It was probably between 2:30 and 3 in the morning. We were still up and the lights were on. There were three fans running, so it was everywhere, instantly. My guess is that some asshat stole a […]
In which I’ve read so much socially acceptable male-bashing bullshit online today, I just can’t even. But I’m going to anyway, and it’s this: what if society was structured with women’s and men’s spheres mostly separate… for a reason? Maybe women domesticated ourselves, just like cats, deliberately.

In which I’ve quit smoking! I started smoking at 16. I’m 47 now. That’s 31 years. I was down to smoking less than a pack a day, usually less than half a pack, but my lungs felt dry and tight. I was having difficulty breathing. Every morning, I decided not to smoke. Every evening I […]
In which I freak out. Seriously. Not even kidding. I haven’t spent much time in chans or forums because they’re stupid, but even so I’ve seen countless nerds type “kill yourself” at each other, and sometimes it’s hilarious. In IRC it’s practically a tradition to tell chatters to go commit suicide — preferably immediately, by […]
In which there’s local news. “Red Monkey downtown lounge opening Saturday. Ten TVs, a disco ball, VIP lounge, food, drinks and great vibe. 25 W. Alder.” (3:52:19 PM) DslVelcro: hmm (3:52:56 PM) mushlette: Ten TVs and a disco ball. (3:53:00 PM) mushlette: WTF (3:53:06 PM) DslVelcro: wonder what that is like (3:53:20 PM) mushlette: it’s […]
In which I’m bugging people I don’t even know. I want to see this film. A lot. Unfortunately, you gotta be an organization to get a copy – DVDs for individuals aren’t for sale yet. So I bugged Sheila over at the paper, and she gave me the names of some unsuspecting progressive people in […]
