  • Battlestar Galactica, and any other time the writers are just writing down the rabbit hole without having any clue what story they’re going to tell. The writers of Battlestar introduced one mystery after another and worked to sell the audience on the belief that they were going somewhere good with all this. They had jack shit and I’m not getting that time back.

    Some other offenders:

    Star Wars sequels: how the fuck did that get greenlit for like a billion dollars without any living soul knowing what the plot was gonna be

    Mulholland Drive: fuck you David Lynch, explain this shit or GTFO. If I want dream logic I’ll go to sleep

    Lost: J J Abrams you spoiled little rich kid fuckass

    Times that didn’t happen:

    Andor: just an adamantine brick shithouse of storytelling



  • Two years ago my partner was murdered. She was trans and her family didn’t have anything to do with her. Her half siblings were her legal next of kin, and neither myself nor any of her other partners had any rights, so we couldn’t do anything like make her proper funeral arrangements.

    Her bio “family” I guess didn’t know much about her personality, and chose an image off Instagram for her memorial photo. In it, she’s smiling broadly with big beautiful eyes. Her shoulders are bare and it’s conceivable she’s wearing a strapless top or dress.

    They posted an actual nude thirst trap on the funeral home memorial page, and it’s there to this day. The glimmer in her eye was pure lust.














  • Those Intel Macs aren’t really that old. I had the last good MacBook Pro they made in 2015, which still had the glowing logo, then the the slump with the touchbar shits happened in 2016-2017.

    In 2017 I traded the MacBook for a Dell XPS 13. Like the MacBook, the build quality is really good. It’s running as a server in my media room. I’m running Ubuntu and I open it up daily to acquire new media, organize files, tweak my Jellyfin settings, etc.

    There is no reason that 2017 XPS laptop couldn’t serve as my daily driver. My OS is fully up to date and I applied a firmware update last night. The end of life for that device is nowhere in sight; it’s peaking honestly. But if I had kept the MacBook, which was the highest quality laptop hardware you could possibly buy, for a premium price, Apple would be telling me it was no longer supported?

    Regardless, Linux rocks so I hope Mac owners find joy installing a fun new OS on their good quality hardware. Here’s to the next ten years of life!
