I can't get over this. I got struck by lightning.

2 nickels meme: If I had a nickel for every rootkit I've come across in the wild on Windows, I'd have two nickels.

Which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice while learning a malware triage tool.

lol, seeing this combo kind of cheered me up in a gallows humor kind of way.

A screenshot of two posts: below, me feeling sad. Above, a screenshot of The Princess Bride: "Alright, let's see, where were we. Ah yes, in the pit of despair."

Thought of this immediately.

The Drake meme, where he is rejecting the "Gold standard" and celebrating the "GPU standard."

I mean, sure, it's sad the dragon porn panel went away at Further Confusion, but it's certainly not gaming news.

A screenshot of a Gaming News BlueSky account boosting my skeet, which reads as follows: I miss the dragon porn panel at #fc24, they haven't done it for years. It was fun while it lasted.

tfw your body hasn't caught up with your brain. Next chapter of The Plug coming soon.

A quote from the next chapter of The Plug: Instinctively, she tried to slither to the dresser drawer. She landed with a thud to the floor. Muscle memory lingers despite the transformation sequence.

Kitty was curious if I wanted any stickers printed, so I offered my banner image. I don't think I've ever posted the originals! Artist is Cinnamonawita. Her Telegram channel can be found here. t.me/Cinnamonawita

Hahaha, get nuked nerds.

The groomer has sent me a photo of my dog during his trim and it's an adorable photo, so I'm sharing it with you. His name is Archer and he's only 1 year old.

The fact that I got Tina made me laugh. Eliot from Mr. Robot was probably the most accurate it felt like.

I am writing my Senators about Chuck Schumer. If you want a Democratic party that fights, I suggest you do too. I'm expecting bullshit whining and excuses from my Senators. But that's what primaries are for.

I am writing to you today with significant concern for Chuck Schumer's leadership in the Senate. In numerous interviews, he has demonstrated a myopic addiction for working with a fantasy version of a Republican party. There is a clear longing nostalgia for an opposition party that can be collaborated with in good faith, and I believe strongly that it is clouding his judgment on how to properly act. I understand the desire for Democrats and Republicans to come together and work together-- that is something we all wish for. But this presumes that all actors are acting in good faith. Time and time again, Republicans under Trump's leadership are clearly demonstrating a lack of good faith. It is time for leadership that recognizes this fact and acts accordingly. Chuck Schumer desires a Republican that acts in good faith, as we all do, but is operating on a reality that does not currently exist. He either needs to adjust his judgment or-- likely failing that-- must step aside as leader. These are unprecedented times. It is time our leadership acts accordingly and stops daydreaming about a Republican party that does not exist in its current form.

I have very important notes to settle with the character preload. I don't know if she's a coward. She's going to be severely tested. And I need to settle in my notes whether or not she is. This is gonna be a big mental debate in my emacs org file.

A simple bulletpoint: is preload a coward?

Concept sketches of Curtis (male form) from The Plug. I'm really loving how the artist is crafting his character so far. Artist is Elvira Recrud on FA. www.furaffinity.net/user/elvirar...

Common Side Effects. Appropriate, since purple is a strange chemical dealer.

Your private part is named after the last movie or TV show you watched. What is yours?

Hell yeah dude, we're go for the book cover plus bonus character commission of the main character pre-transition! Just sent the payment off today. So excited. More encouragement to finish this book. Here's an example of their work. www.furaffinity.net/user/elvirar...

A fox-like creature with wires winding out of their neck and back of their skull, holding what appears to be a glowing green canister of some kind, donning futuristic suit that covers them head to toe.

Absolutely screaming foreshadowing if you understand the dynamics of the hacker community. "Hack naked," lol

A protagonist justifying a potential mistake. "It shouldn't matter to much," he justified to himself. "They're hackers. They get blue team."

Amethyst-coded characters. This was hard.

This line in my logs for amethyst.systems was all the confirmation I needed to keep on writing. Someone was clearly eager for the next chapter that's not yet written!
