also, i forgot to mention. even though the bed that riza and i got to replace the air mattress came all rolled up real compacted like in a box, it reinflated real quick after the seal was broken and it's not a mat, it is genuinely a mattress. it's quite comfortable actually. as you can imagine, it's already seen some shenanigans lol 🎆💕

"but tina, how is it possible that you don't use ANY genAI at all? EVERYONE uses at least some." not me. how? because i was opposed to the technology from word 1. therefore i never used it when it was new, not even out of curiosity.

I feel like shit and my gf got her spiro throttled accidentally (at least we HOPE it was an accident). At least our new bed came in, if you can call it a bed. It's more a memory foam mat, but it's better than nothing. We'll still need to get a more permanent bed, but at least Riza won't need to sleep on the floor anymore. Except, I wasn't expecting it until Monday and... like, I feel like shit. At least they waited until I was awake to deliver the bed, but I have to do stuff now. Hoovering mostly, but also crawling about the floor on my hands and knees, getting the brush attachment into the tiny small places. And, of course, our fuck-ass hoover can only be in continuous operation for 4 minutes before needing 90 minutes to cool down. This is probably an issue with the filter, but I can't get another one.

See? I KNEW this was going to happen. I fuckin TOLD YOU this was going to happen. Did I not say many, many times that any move you make against AI integration is only temporary? I remember saying this. I very clearly remember saying that the company is only humouring you, they do not intend to give you a speck of control over your UX because you're going to either cock everything up or cost them a million quid. I've said this on here, on cohost, and on tumblr, and yet people still ignore me and then get all surprised when the last 3 updates to firefox check that the AI integration hasnt been turned off and, if it has, re-enable it. The SAME thing with Microsoft. The SAME thing with Android. The SAME th... for fuck's sake I'm tired of saying this. If you won't switch to Linux Mint and Librewolf, and stop using Youtube, Google, and Spotify, then i no longer care what happens to your data. Get scraped, fuckwit.

THe bed I bought for me and Riza to sleep on broke unexpectedly this morning. The store i bought it from is willing to refund it and we have another one in the works, but that was just... not at all how I wanted to spend this morning. Trying in futility to patch a hole with duct tape, knowing that no matter how much tape I used, it just wasn't going to hold. I didn't get either of the jobs I interviewed for either, and now everything's closed down until after feckin' Christmas, possibly until January 2026. I'm sorry, i'm not angling for Ko-fi donations (though we'll certainly accept them if you want to give them), i'm just more tired right now than i was when i went to bed last night. Especially as there's not going to be a bed tonight. I feel like I failed her. She says it's ok, and thankfully she was right, but I still feel like I brought her 1600+ miles across the country to the middle of a feckin cornfield just to sleep on the bare carpet. Oh well, by Christmas we should be able to sleep in a bed again. I'll just have to remember how I was able to sleep on the floor without covers or anything when I used to go to my cousins' place for THanksgiving (I SWEAR IF I TYPE A DOUBLE CAPITAL ONE MORE GD TIME IM THROWING THIS STUPID FUCKING COMPUTER OUT THE WINDOW). Ok time to stop. Definitely time to stop.

The Trump regime today: "We're going to stop using Calibri because of woke. Wait, I'm being told computers were invented by a gay man. Okay, back to typewriters. Wait, no, typewriters were invented by a woman. I guess we'll just write everything out longhand. Oh, no, wait, illuminated manuscript was invented by nuns. What's left? Smoke signals... wait no, Indians. Um, drums? Nope, Africa. Sign language? No, we hate deaf people too. Well, um, television maybe? Oh, wait, no, PBS is on television. NPR is on radio, plus it was invented by an Italian, so we can't have that either. Uh, this just in, we're never communicating ever again."

Perhaps some people need this cleared up. Using generative AI for any reason, no matter how minor and inconsequential it may seem, is still USING generative AI. Just because you didn't have it make a 40-minute-long fantasy film or a 4K upscale of a show from the '70s doesn't mean you aren't still a genAI user. I recently had to unfollow someone on Neocities whose site I really liked because they used a genAI process to create some of their site. They claimed it was only to solve a formatting issue with a chatbox, but how am I supposed to trust that? They experienced the ease of use and instant results of generative AI, how can I trust any of their content is legit anymore? PLus they had the audacity to be a member of the No-AI webring! They straight-up ADMIT they used genAI, and yet they still claim to abhor all use of it. Shut up. I liked your site, I enjoyed talking to you occasionally, but no more. You're an AI user, I don't belong around you anymore.

So, apparently the reason why people suddenly hate the number 67 is because of kids. That was a little bit of a letdown. See I thought 67 had some far-reaching or mystical reason for being hated suddenly, like someone went back in time and did something to taint that number. But it turns out it's just a meme and adults for generations have hated kids. So yeah. It's a meme and adults hate everything kids do. Lah-dee-fuckin'-dah. Apparently, it's not sixty-seven, it's six-seven, and it has origins in a rap song. And now, I hear teachers and principals are giving detention for performing the associated juggling gesture? Any particular reason you went into your current line of work while hating kids so much? Like, did you not think you would find children? In a school? Come back and see me when there's a REAL problem; until then, shut up.

You know what? We think we're so enlightened. So advanced. So integrated. But, despite all our computers, and our smartphones, and our AI-driven image interpolation, and our 8 years with an African-American president, and our parks, and our food pantries, and all this, but at the core, we've never gotten any further than Henery the 8th's Act for the Punishment of the Vice of Buggery 1533. For all our technical achievements, we still manage to go whole-hog stupid whenever even bog-standard gay shows up in our everyday lives. Well, to be fair, it's more the federal and state level decision makers who go whole-hog stupid. Did you know? In the United States right now, 13 states say it's okay to fire employees for being any stripe of LGBT+ at all? How about that in 24 states, it's okay to deny apartment rental applications to transgender people? Did you know that, in 30 states, you can still claim "gay panic" or "trans panic" as a legal defence for murder? For all our generative AI, we have not wisdom. We'll gladly kill 10,000 cis people to get at one trans person.
