Yes, and I’ve been using beehaw less and less because of it.

Qlab is vastly superior to any other live theatre show control software.

I live in Texas (a state that will go a certain way) and I will vote Dem. It makes no sense to me to help make a bigger gap between the Republicans and everybody else just because the Dems suck too.

The “principled stance” a protest vote makes only helps embolden the current political hellscape within my own state. If I can chip away at the Republican power structure, I will do it.

All that money and he can’t even buy a brain cell.

God, I miss Reader. It really was a great thing that Google ruined because they couldn’t somehow cram ads into it.

Capitalism only functions when it can absorb the things that can be an alternative to it.

I mean, sure, I’d rather not hear that much about it, but people are grieving. I’m sure it’ll die down and people need room to work through their feelings.

Exquisite Corpse by Poppy Z. Brite. It’s the only book I’ve ever loved that it recommend to exactly nobody. It’s very graphic (violent).

If I remember correctly, that unintuitiveness is by design. From what I saw they seem really perturbed by the notion that it should function how most people use similar programs.

Gimpshop was a thing (where they moved the tools to make it look more like Photoshop) but the Gimp people got upset.

I think it’s like 3D movies. You will make some money off the people who buy into the gimmick, some more off of the people who remember and want the Razr again, and the rest acts as a kind of “hey we’re innovating here!” commercial for the manufacturer.

It’s a dumb gimmick, but it seems like capitalism is almost exclusively dumb gimmicks at this point.

Not a drag queen. Not a trans person.

Sunset looking out at the desert at Burning Man. Just the sun, the mountains, and the endless sky. Nothing like it.

I saw the new thing from Heinz which is like a Coke Remix machine but with dipping sauces, and the machine mixes it in front of you with a countdown and flashing lights. I envisioned a world where fast food places stop producing their own ketchup packets and just buy one of these giant machines because it’s cheaper.

Hell no. I am not asking a robot to make me ketchup when you could just hand me ketchup packets.

Neuromancer. It’s okay so far.

I just finished Wolf in White Van by John Darnielle. I LOVED it.
