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...

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!
