Peter Cushing givin you fuck me eyes
More Cushing for the pushing
more than anything, i am just exhausted with the constant attempts to rewrite reality
gambling odds are "projections"
speculative crypto tokens are "currencies"
LLM text generators are "AI"
video games are "the metaverse"
just a neverending assault on our ability to accurately describe reality

I have such a complicated relationship with Spanish.
But Iβve gotten the chance to slip back into speaking it a few times in the last couple weeks and each time it gets easier and I feel less shame when I hear my accent color my English.

Love it when our nationβs defense contractors all spend their Friday nights subtweeting each other about killing everyone in the world

I hate it here
