THIS SOOTHING NOISE IS VERY SOOTHING

This is not my favorite block in Seattle.

Yes, vote. Yes, support government / NGO efforts to fix systemic reinforcement of poverty.

But those efforts get wiped out by cruel administrations and those who won’t help the undeserving (but don’t call it eugenics).

We can share food. Money. Hell, just some time and respect.

Having a Nick Drake moment with Norma Tanega. I thought this song was a lot newer than that.

Between Islanders and Dead Cells my main gaming impulses — relaxed optimization puzzles and 2D kill fests — have been satisfied this week.

Remembering the time my answers resulted in a brief antipsychotic prescription. Very bad consequences.

Also realizing if that doctor or I understood my answers just a bit better, I could’ve been working on ADHD almost 20 years sooner than I did.

Additional lesson I learned: if you have nighttime mode where the colors shift? You may want to disable that while playing.

TFW when they’re being normal and you worry that you’re bothering them but then later they’re being nice so now of course you’re sure you’re bothering them.

As annoying and chaotic as back-end work is, I know it’s nothing compared to the swirling maelstrom of madness that is making sure users can use the dang thing.

Having learned a valuable lesson in the last cycle, Our Hero disables Do Not Disturb on his phone for the next week.

I have mixed feelings about a “Trending Now” block. One one hand: ugh. OTOH I’m actually interested in what this crowd is talking about.
